Don't be an 'ick': Tinder's dating dictionary aims to clear the flirty confusion

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:00 GMT

(WHNT) — Tinder released a "dating dictionary" of Gen Z terms and what they really mean in an effort to help older singles, hopefully without making them feel the sting of graying hair even more in the process.The release came after research showed that 62% of singles between 18-25 feel they speak an entirely different language compared to millennials and others when it comes to dating. SunnyD gets an adult beverage makeover Words like "affor-dating," "breadcrumbing," "cushioning," "kittenfishing," "ick" and "eco-dumping" were included in the dictionary, with plenty of others that may be a little more recognizable.Affor-dating, which may be a little obvious, is short for an affordable date. Think coffee dates, walks, etc.Breadcrumbing (unrelated to Hansel and Gretel) is a reference to low-effort flirting, showing some interest. The intent is to keep the other person interested without any actual commitment.Cushioning pretty much means that someone is keeping several "backup" relat...

Charles Blow: The other children in the DeSantis culture war

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:00 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s midday on Saturday in Orlando’s Greenwood Cemetery, and just up an incline from an algae-covered pond a group of students encircle a grave. Many are holding a book — some clutching it to their chests the way a preacher holds a Bible.That book, “A History of Florida Through Black Eyes,” was written by Marvin Dunn, an emeritus professor at Florida International University, who is among those gathered. He quiets the group before telling the gripping story of the man beneath the tombstone. The man was Julius “July” Perry, a Black voting rights activist who was killed — arrested, then dragged from jail by a white mob and lynched — on Election Day in 1920 during the Ocoee Massacre, the culmination of a tragic chain of events set in motion, according to accounts, by a Black man attempting to vote.The stop at the cemetery was part of the second “Teach the Truth” tour, a field trip to historic Black sites in Florida, organized by Dunn in response to the threat to teachin...

Soo Kim: Due process denied: FCC Media Bureau kills diverse media ownership

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:00 GMT

I believe in the power of local news. Strengthening American democracy depends on more engaged and informed citizens at the local level. But in today’s fractured media environment, there are fewer credible options for consumers to turn to for their news. Local broadcast news can help fill this void.My company, Standard General, is acquiring local broadcaster TEGNA because I want to build a new company that will be a leader in preserving and enhancing community news, investing in newsrooms and programming targeted to local audiences and adapting in a rapidly changing technical and competitive environment.We’re ready to invest, but regulators in Washington, D.C. continue to hold us back.The Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau recently announced it would refer the proposed transaction between Standard General and TEGNA for review by an administrative law judge.This seemingly mundane regulatory action is an unprecedented overreach of authority that, if allowed to stand unch...

Everyone is contributing, whether it’s blocking shots or, you see the power play step up today to make some big plays for us.”The Wild remained two points behind first-place Dallas in the Central Division after the Stars won earlier Saturday night at Seattle.Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl each had a goal and an assist for San Jose, and Erik K...

Real World Economics: Medicare: A good idea that needs updating

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:35:00 GMT

Edward LottermanPresident Joe Biden last week released a fact sheet with his Medicare funding proposals prior to his proposed actual budget blueprint that includes details on this and all other programs.He wants to broaden income subject to tax for filers who earn above $400,000. Since 2013, this has included some, but not all, investment income beyond the “earned income” of wages, salaries and small-business and farm profits subject to FICA for decades.He also wants to reduce outlays by extending negotiation of drug prices and reduce costs to beneficiaries by limiting copays on common generic drugs.So — are these good or bad ideas?The adage “too little, too late,” comes to mind but is a bit harsh. “Better something than nothing;” “better late than never;” “at least we’re headed in the right direction” are better metaphors. Yes, Biden’s proposals are good; they also would delay the day of reckoning for Medicare’s checking account a cou...
