Dads say rule change granting both parents equal time off has helped build bond between children and fathers

Rogan, Musk and an emboldened manosphere salute Trump’s win: ‘Let that sink in’

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 November 2024

The so-called ‘heterodoxy’ endorsed the Republican’s hyper-masculine promise. Their young male fans listened

Late on Tuesday night, when it became clear that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president of the United States, the so-called “heterodoxy” was elated.

For years, these male podcasters, influencers and public figures had marketed themselves as free-thinking pundits who evaded the bounds of political classification. “Their political views could once have been described as libertarian,” Anna Merlan wrote for the Guardian in August; the word used to describe them pointed to the same, derived from the Greek heteros , meaning other, and doxa , meaning opinion.

Mark Robins gave Coventry hope against all odds: his hasty exit stinks of ingratitude | Jonny Weeks

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 November 2024

Decay had set in this season but the manager helped a fanbase fall back in love with the club – he deserved more loyalty

Really? After almost eight years, two promotions, an agonising Championship playoff final defeat on penalties and a toenail offside which cost them a place in last year’s FA Cup final, Mark Robins is no longer Coventry City’s manager.

Only Pep Guardiola has enjoyed longer job security in English football’s top four divisions – and let’s be honest, he has had it easy in comparison. Since Robins returned to the Sky Blues in 2017 for his second spell, he has been a calming presence amid near-constant tumult as the club became homeless and almost went bust at the hands of its former owners. He operated under a vicious financial stranglehold but somehow brought triumph, navigating a return to the Championship from the depths of League Two, overseeing four trips to Wembley and reigniting a fanbase that had fallen out of love with the club.

F1 drivers unite to issue statement demanding FIA treats them like adults

All 20 drivers unite after recent swearing punishments
Verstappen and Leclerc were both sanctioned by FIA

Formula One drivers have demanded the FIA stops treating them like children in a damning indictment of the governing body’s recent policies and its president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA), which represents F1 drivers, issued a strongly worded and highly critical statement on Thursday, addressing the recent controversy over swearing. It took issue with the “tone and language” used by Ben Sulayem and questioned the financial transparency of the FIA, in a highly unusual and very public critique which puts the FIA in a difficult position.

Identity of casts of victims at Pompeii not all they seem, research suggests

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 7 November 2024

Scientists studying DNA find one person in scene of cowering family was a man and not a ‘mother’

It is a tragic moment, frozen in time: a family of four shelters beneath a staircase as ash and pumice rains down on Pompeii. But now scientists studying DNA from the victims say this famous scene is not what it seems, with the “mother” of the group actually a man.

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD79, the Roman town of Pompeii was destroyed, its remaining inhabitants buried beneath a thick blanket of ash and pumice. These victims were later immortalised by archaeologists who used plaster to fill the voids left by their bodies.
