The March of the Bit Brigade

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:13 GMT

The March of the Bit Brigade: After doing this job for so long, it’s good to know that it’s still possible to be surprised, to see something that feels completely different. With that in mind, Athens, Georgia band Bit Brigade perform live and full rock reinterpretations of old Nintendo (NES) soundtracks.One of the actual members of the band is a master gamer called Noah McCarthy, who plays speed-trial runs of NES games, viewable to the crowd on a giant screen, while the  band plays the soundtrack. It sounds super fucking nerdy, and it kinda is, but my god it’s a lot of fun.First of all, there’s a mild feeling of jeopardy — you get wrapped up in watching McCarthy play and root for him. There’s a temptation to feel like the band needs to be very reactive, that they need to be able to respond to whatever McCarthy does, and maybe there is a mild element of that. But McCarthy clearly knows the games so well that there are going to be few diversions nig...

SAN MATEO COUNTY — Prosecutors have charged an Australian man with two counts of vehicular manslaughter after a deadly crash in which he was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road on Highway 84 near La Honda.Luke Nardini, a tourist and Formula 500 race-car driver according to Australian media, was headed eastbound in the westbound lane on Highway 84 around 5 p.m. Friday evening when he collided with a Ford Taurus carrying four passengers. A male backseat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other backseat passenger, a woman, died later at a hospital.Nardini, who was driving a BMW M4, crossed into the westbound lane at about 55-60 miles per hour because of a road closure of the eastbound lane, according to prosecutors. When the closure ended, he forgot to cross back over to the right-hand side of the road.Prosecutors noted that in Australia, like the United Kingdom and many former British colonies, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road.

Lee could hit Caribbean as a near-Category 5 storm

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:13 GMT

By Mary Gilbert | CNNLee rapidly intensified into a strong tropical storm Wednesday as it tracks over record-warm ocean waters and an environment favorable for strengthening, which will fuel the storm to near Category-5 strength as it approaches the eastern Caribbean.Lee was a strong tropical storm late Wednesday morning with sustained winds of 70 mph and higher gusts, the National Hurricane Center reported, located 1,200 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands. Lee’s sustained winds strengthened by 35 mph in the 24 hours after it formed as a tropical depression Tuesday morning.Even more rapid intensification – defined as an increase in wind speeds of at least 35 mph in 24 hours or less – is expected in the coming days. The forecast track takes the hurricane across some of the warmest waters in the Atlantic Ocean and through relatively calm upper-level winds, which will allow Lee to explode in strength.“All the ingredients are in place for the storm to really intensify,” Jason Du...

SANTA CLARA – Defensive end Nick Bosa has agreed to the richest contract in 49ers history, ending a 43-day holdout in what truly was a fait accompli, for a franchise that’s investing so much toward its first Super Bowl title since the 1994 season.The mega-deal comes just ahead of the regular-season opener, Sunday at the Pittsburgh Steelers.Bosa’s five-year, $170 million extension includes $122.5 million guaranteed, ESPN first reported just before coach Kyle Shanahan was to meet with the media and an hour before Wednesday’s practice.Bosa, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, waited out training camp before taking his rightful place among other 49ers earning top-of-the-market rates. At $34 million annually, Bosa is the highest-paid defensive player and non-quarterback in NFL history.The 49ers, unlike many of Silicon Valley’s other venture capitalists, are funding a project that’s approaching its third decade without the ultimate return: a Super Bowl t...

Judge temporarily blocks Chino Valley school board’s transgender notification policy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:07:13 GMT

A San Bernardino Superior Court judge on Wednesday, Sept. 6, temporarily blocked a Chino Valley Unified policy that would require schools to out transgender students to their parents.Judge Thomas Garza granted the state’s request for a temporary restraining order against the parental notification policy that requires schools to inform parents if their child identifies as something other than the gender they were assigned at birth.After nearly an hour of discussion in court, Garza said he granted the injunction against the notification policy in an “abundance of caution,” noting that while most parents are not a danger to their children there are exceptions. The purpose of the notification policy is unclear, Garza said, and too broad.The Chino Valley Unified school board adopted the policy — the rule echoes a bill that stalled in the state Assembly earlier this year after it was introduced by Riverside County lawmaker Bill Essayli — in a 4-1 vote July 20 after a contentious, four-hou...
