However, CBS’s latest updates shed light on what fans missed and how the story of the Coopers lives on through the spinoff, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, as mentioned in a report by Screenrant. Why Young Sheldon Ended Despite Its Success Young Sheldon concluded at the height of its success, delivering show-high ratings during its final season. While many hoped for a renewal, the show’s creators, led by Chuck Lorre, chose to align its ending with The Big Bang Theory canon. Two pivotal events tied to Sheldon’s backstory—George Cooper’s death and Sheldon’s move to California for postgraduate studies—took place in 1994, marking a natural conclusion for the series.

Yet, the lingering curiosity about what could have been in Young Sheldon Season 8 has kept fans yearning for more. A New Chapter: Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage The story of the Coopers continues in Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage , a spinoff that follows Georgie and Mandy as they navigate life as a young couple and parents to Baby Cece. Picking up shortly after the Young Sheldon finale, the new series shifts focus to the McAllisters, an extended family introduced to add fresh dynamics to the narrative. While Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage centers on the titular couple, it often features cameos from Cooper family members, keeping the legacy of Young Sheldon alive. The pilot episode reunited fans with Mary and Meemaw, while subsequent episodes brought Missy back into the fold. These appearances not only delight fans but also offer a glimpse of how the Coopers are coping in the aftermath of George’s death. Thanksgiving Special Hints at Young Sheldon Season 8 One of the most special moments in the spinoff came during the Thanksgiving episode, where the Coopers reunited to navigate their grief. Mary, Meemaw, Missy, and Georgie shared the screen, bringing back the familial warmth and emotional depth that defined Young Sheldon . The holiday special teased what Young Sheldon Season 8 could have been—a blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling centered on the Coopers coping with loss while adjusting to life without Sheldon. Georgie’s new responsibilities as a husband and father, coupled with Mary’s struggle to move forward, offered a compelling look at their evolving dynamics. Will Young Sheldon Season 8 Ever Happen? While Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is gaining traction with strong ratings and frequent appearances by familiar characters, the possibility of a Young Sheldon Season 8 seems unlikely. The spinoff has taken over as the primary continuation of the Cooper family’s story, making a revival redundant. However, for fans of Young Sheldon , the legacy of the show lives on through its spinoff, which continues to explore the family’s journey with the same blend of humor and heart that made the original series a success. FAQs Will there be a season 8 of Young Sheldon? Despite its status as CBS's No. 1 comedy since 2017, Young Sheldon was not renewed for an eighth season, as the network confirmed in November 2023. Why did Young Sheldon end? Executive producer Steve Holland explained that concluding Young Sheldon with Season 7 was the most logical decision, as it aligned with the timeline previously established in The Big Bang Theory.

I was treated better as a trans woman but changed my mind...now my college won't let me talk about it Berklee music college's stated support for 'creative expression' is questioned By JAMES REINL, SOCIAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 18:51 GMT, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 18:51 GMT, 29 December 2024 e-mail 38 View comments A top US music school is under fire for breaking its own rules on free speech by stopping one of its students from discussing his troubled history with changing sex. Simon Amaya Price, 20, says Berklee College of Music in Boston canceled his talk about the three years he struggled to live as a female, after the event sparked a campus backlash. Campaigners say it is the latest example of ' woke ' professors abandoning free speech when it goes against the narrow left-wing consensus that pervades academia. 'I wanted to talk about desisting from transgender identity, but that was too much for Berklee,' Amaya Price told DailyMail.com. 'Once the political response became apparent, Berklee administrators indefinitely postponed my event.' Berklee, a venerated 79-year-old college in Massachusetts that claims to support 'creative expression,' did not answer DailyMail.com's request for comment. Amaya Price, an indie pop singer-songwriter at the school, was set to make a presentation at a campus venue on October 20 as part of a course on 'social change'. His classmates spoke about homelessness , eating disorders and motherhood in their talks. Singer-songwriter Simon Amaya Price, 20, once again identifies as a man, and wants to warn others about his negative experiences Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music is under fire for sidelining its own rules on free speech by cancelling the talk Read More Transgender woman, 24, is forced to have testicle removed after it became twisted in agonising injury caused by 'tucking' He wanted to discuss his teenage years spent living as a woman and how he came to 'desist.' He started to question his identity and transition when he was 14 - a tough time in his life when he was mocked by peers and faced 'complete social ostracization'. Amaya Price says he transitioned because he was mixed up by his autism, puberty, sexual abuse and troubles with friends. He was spurred on by online trans activists and peers at a summer camp where teens introduced themselves in 'pronoun rituals'. 'I found that people treated me way better if I said my pronouns were anything but he/him,' Amaya Price said. 'I was like: "OK, this makes me feel better. People treat me better. This has got to be the right thing for me".' He started going by 'Ash.' Clinicians at Boston Children's Hospital affirmed him without delay and proposed cross-sex hormones, he says. But his dad, Gareth, 'put his foot down' and would not let him take sex change drugs until he was 18, he adds. He never did much more than mix up his wardrobe a little. His appearance — as a man, woman, and non-binary — was always androgynous. Amaya Price describes a 'turning point' when he was about 17 and started to see 'logical fallacies' in gender identity politics. Amaya Price's event at Berklee was cancelled, but he managed to raise his concerns about gender ideology weeks later at MIT For three teenage years, Amaya Price identified as a female called 'Ash' but has since switched back to being a guy He started to develop friendships with men and liked being 'one of the guys.' He also saw how trans friends undergoing medical procedures were harming themselves. The teen started to 'desist,' and now campaigns against gender ideology, especially when it comes to children. 'I don't think there's any situation where minors should be allowed to take cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, or undergo these surgeries,' he says. 'Scientifically, we do not know how to tell apart the kids for whom it might work and for whom it doesn't work.' This view makes him an 'apostate' to trans activists and leftists, says Amaya Price. 'I falsify one of the core tenants of their ideology, which is that everybody with gender dysphoria needs to medically transition, which is simply not true,' he says. He wanted to explain all this in his Berklee talk, titled 'Born in the Right Body: Desister and Detransitioner Awareness.' The college was initially willing to back his event, but pulled the plug after Amaya Price's promotional fliers and Instagram post sparked an angry backlash. Within hours, he'd received more than 400 'overwhelmingly negative' responses, he says. Berklee students called him a 'Nazi' and a 'transphobe.' One said he should be 'scared' to make his presentation, another threatened to 'throw expired groceries' at him. Amaya Price, pictured here playing a violin aged 11, was interested in music from an early age Seen here climbing a wall at age six, Amaya Price says he did not question his gender identity when he was a child Transgender rights activists have pushed to silence conservative voices on US college campuses. Pictured: A gender-related protest in San Diego, California Read More EXCLUSIVE Trans for Trump: Meet the Americans who've transitioned gender and voted Trump Angry students gathered some 2,000 signatures in an online petition demanding Berklee cancel the talk. They said it would 'harm the mental well-being of individuals in the transgender community.' Within days, the school's vice president Ron Savage 'indefinitely postponed' the event, citing security concerns. Its office for diversity and inclusion also pulled its support and posted that the event 'will no longer take place as planned'. Amaya Price says the college had overstated the security threat, which he believed would amount only to heckling protesters. He was backed in this criticism by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (Fire), a free speech nonprofit that focuses on America's increasingly liberal schools and colleges. Fire highlighted Berklee's stated support for 'creative expression' and rejection of 'censorship' and those trying to 'obstruct the free exchange of ideas'. Officials canceled Amaya Price because he 'has the "wrong" things to say,' says Fire. 'Any discussion of transgender issues is likely to provoke controversy and offend some listeners, Fire said in a statement. 'But policing offensive speech effectively tells Amaya Price that he is not allowed to share his own life story — and that others are not permitted to hear and respond to it — simply because some may find it offensive.' The group stands up for scholars from across the political spectrum, but warns that US institutions have tacked to the left. Amaya Price warns against breast removal operations and other irreversible sex change procedures on kids Amaya Price now records music and performs, and has applied to join the US Space Force Read More First female president of Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music quits after two years as it's claimed she was 'domineering bully': ELEVEN staff left during stint that began with $250,000 welcome concert Most efforts to cancel speakers in recent years have targeted conservatives, says the group. Still, that could be changing. Of the 25 recorded efforts to sanction US scholars this year, most were led by right-wing individuals, groups and activists, Fire's database shows. Many of the targeted academics had spoken up for Palestinians or the militant group Hamas amid military confrontations with Israel. Conservative groups linked to Donald Trump seek to curb colleges they see as too liberal, but it's not clear if this will be a priority for the Republican president-elect's administration. Amaya Price, who graduated from Berklee on December 12, says he was not deterred by the cancellation. He instead hosted a similar event at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on November 24. As well as campaigning , he records music and performs , and has applied to become an officer in the US Space Force.

NoneFRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Looking for hard-to-find bottles of Kentucky bourbon to toast the holidays or add to a collection? Get your bids ready as the Bluegrass State launches its first online auction of confiscated alcohol. Whiskeys up for sale include two bottles of Old Rip Van Winkle, a Blanton’s Single Barrel Gold in box with Japanese markings and a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Barrel Strength 2011. The sale is the result of a new Kentucky law, which allows alcohol confiscated from closed criminal investigations by the state's alcoholic beverage control agency to be auctioned. Online bidding opens Wednesday and closes at midnight on Dec. 11. Proceeds will support programs promoting responsible alcohol use by adults and awareness programs for youths. “This is a really good auction,” Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, said by phone Tuesday. “There are some hard-to-find and rare bottles on there.” No estimate has been given on how much the auction might raise. “We look forward to seeing the response to this auction and have started planning additional auctions for 2025,” said Allyson Taylor, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The auction features 32 bottles of alcohol and includes a “stock the bar” bundle with bottles of wine, vodka, rum and whiskey, the agency said. But the stars are the hard-to-find and rare bourbons up for sale. “It’s not every day you go to a liquor store and find a bottle of Blanton’s Gold," Gregory said. “You never go to a liquor store and find a bottle of Four Roses 2011.” The lineup includes bottles of E.H. Taylor bourbon, Blanton’s Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10 yr., Weller Antique 107, Willett Family Estate Single Barrel Rye, Michter’s, an Old Forester gift set and more. A link to the online auction is available at ABC.ky.gov . Auction items cannot be shipped, so winning bidders must pick up items in Frankfort, the state said. The auctions will become a “can't miss opportunity” for bourbon connoisseurs, Gregory said. Previously, confiscated bourbon or other spirits could end up being destroyed, he said. “We don't like to see good bourbon poured down the drain,” Gregory said. Kentucky distillers produce 95% of the global bourbon supply, the Kentucky distillers’ group says.MacroGenics to Participate in Upcoming Investor Conference
A Florida man scammed a woman out of $250,000 by posing as Elon Musk, police say. The scam involved a fake Facebook account promising high returns on investments. Musk's identity is frequently used in scams, including deepfake crypto schemes. A Florida man pretending to be billionaire Elon Musk on Facebook scammed an older woman out of over $250,000, police say. Police arrested Jeffrey Moynihan, Jr., 56, earlier this week for grand theft. The Bradenton Police Department said in a statement that financial records show the woman from Texas sent at least $250,000 to Moynihan's business in Florida. The victim's husband told police that she sent "approximately $600,000" to Moynihan in total. Bradenton police say they arrested Moynihan at his home on November 19, noting that the real Elon Musk was likely busy at the time with the 6th test flight of the SpaceX Starship, which occurred the same day. The 74-year-old victim befriended someone named "Elon Musk" on Facebook in 2023, police said. The woman messaged with the fake account for "several months" as he encouraged her to invest in his businesses. The fake Musk account promised the woman a $55 million investment return. Instead, the money went directly into bank accounts owned by Moynihan and his business, Jeff's Painting and Pressure Washing, LLC, police said. In body camera footage released by police, Moynihan can be heard asking why the police have a warrant for his arrest. "Grand theft of what?" Moynihan asks in the video. It is unclear if Moynihan has hired an attorney. The Bradenton Police Department did not immediately return a request for comment. Musk has become the face of many scams worldwide over the past few years. In May, authorities in Hong Kong warned that crypto scammers were using AI deepfake videos of Musk to promote fake trading websites. One Australian man lost $50,000 after registering his details through an online crypto form he found through a deepfake interview with Musk on social media in June. Another woman in Korea gave $50,000 to a scammer who she fell in love with while they pretended to be Musk on Instagram.
