Tubi ‘s imported comedy Big Mood debuted in April 2024 and has left viewers wondering what’s next for friends Maggie ( Nicola Coughlan ) and Eddie ( Lydia West ) ever since it launched. But will the series return for a second season? No official confirmation regarding the show’s future has been made at this time, in other words, it hasn’t been renewed, but it hasn’t been canceled either. In the meantime, we’re breaking down everything we know about the show’s potential return so far, below. Tubi Yes, there’s an abundance of hope due in part to some teases series creator and writer Camilla Whitehill gave about planning for another chapter of the comedy. During an appearance on the Firecrotch & Normcore: They Like to Watch Podcast in July 2024, Whitehill said, “I’m writing Big Mood Series 2, which hasn’t been fully fully greenlit.” She added that regarding a second season, “a few episodes have been commissioned, so I’m working on that. I hope that we will be, that we’ll go again.” Big Mood , as fans saw in Season 1, focuses on the friendship between Eddie and Maggie, the latter of which struggles to live with her bipolar disorder. While Eddie is a big support, she has struggles of her own that often fly under the radar as she tries her best to be there for Maggie. Ultimately, Season 1 ended with Maggie missing out on accompanying Eddie for an abortion due to her mental status. Missing time and space, Maggie eventually shows up at the bar Eddie owned to find a closed sign before she sees Eddie leaving with luggage in a taxi. It’s a heartbreaking scene, and Season 2 would likely pick up where things left off, or examine where these friends are some time after the events after spending some time apart. Only time would tell for certain as we await word on the show’s future. When it came to the possibility of a second season, Big Mood stars Coughlan and West were interested in exploring the origin of Maggie and Eddie’s friendship. “If we get a Season 2 — touch wood — I really want a flashback scene to when they met,” Coughlan told TV Insider . “I’d love that. That would be so funny,” West countered. “And it would be full Indie sleaze,” Coughlan added as she continued to paint a metaphorical picture. Will this vision come to life? We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Until then, stream Big Mood anytime on Tubi. Big Mood , Streaming now, Tubi More Headlines: Will ‘Big Mood’ Return for Season 2?

Dinch Tease ‘Raw’ Season 3: ‘Buckle Up’WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s personnel choices for his new Cabinet and White House reflect his signature positions on immigration and trade but also a range of viewpoints and backgrounds that raise questions about what ideological anchors might guide his Oval Office encore. With a rapid assembly of his second administration — faster than his effort eight years ago — the former and incoming president has combined television personalities , former Democrats, a wrestling executive and traditional elected Republicans into a mix that makes clear his intentions to impose tariffs on imported goods and crack down on illegal immigration but leaves open a range of possibilities on other policy pursuits. “The president has his two big priorities and doesn’t feel as strongly about anything else — so it’s going to be a real jump ball and zigzag,” predicted Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence during Trump’s 2017-21 term. “In the first administration, he surrounded himself with more conservative thinkers, and the results showed we were mostly rowing in the same direction. This is more eclectic.” Indeed, Secretary of State-designee Marco Rubio , the Florida senator who has pilloried authoritarian regimes around the world, is in line to serve as top diplomat to a president who praises autocratic leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Hungary’s Viktor Orban. Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon has been tapped to sit at the Cabinet table as a pro-union labor secretary alongside multiple billionaires, former governors and others who oppose making it easier for workers to organize themselves. The prospective treasury secretary, Scott Bessent , wants to cut deficits for a president who promised more tax cuts, better veterans services and no rollbacks of the largest federal outlays: Social Security, Medicare and national defense. Abortion-rights supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is Trump’s choice to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which Trump’s conservative Christian base has long targeted as an agency where the anti-abortion movement must wield more influence. Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich allowed that members of Trump’s slate will not always agree with the president and certainly not with one another. But he minimized the potential for irreconcilable differences: “A strong Cabinet, by definition, means you’re going to have people with different opinions and different skills.” That kind of unpredictability is at the core of Trump’s political identity. He is the erstwhile reality TV star who already upended Washington once and is returning to power with sweeping, sometimes contradictory promises that convinced voters, especially those in the working class, that he will do it all again. “What Donald Trump has done is reorient political leadership and activism to a more entrepreneurial spirit,” Gingrich said. There’s also plenty of room for conflict, given the breadth of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises and his pattern of cycling through Cabinet members and national security personnel during his first term. This time, Trump has pledged to impose tariffs on foreign goods, end illegal immigration and launch a mass deportation force, goose U.S. energy production and exact retribution on people who opposed — and prosecuted — him. He’s added promises to cut taxes, raise wages, end wars in Israel and Ukraine , streamline government, protect Social Security and Medicare, help veterans and squelch cultural progressivism. Trump alluded to some of those promises in recent weeks as he completed his proposed roster of federal department heads and named top White House staff members. But his announcements skimmed over any policy paradoxes or potential complications. Bessent has crusaded as a deficit hawk, warning that the ballooning national debt , paired with higher interest rates, drives consumer inflation. But he also supports extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts that added to the overall debt and annual debt service payments to investors who buy Treasury notes. A hedge-fund billionaire, Bessent built his wealth in world markets. Yet, generally speaking, he’s endorsed Trump’s tariffs. He rejects the idea that they feed inflation and instead frames tariffs as one-time price adjustments and leverage to achieve U.S. foreign policy and domestic economic aims. Trump, for his part, declared that Bessent would “help me usher in a new Golden Age for the United States.” Chavez-DeRemer, Trump promised, “will achieve historic cooperation between Business and Labor that will restore the American Dream for Working Families.” Trump did not address the Oregon congresswoman’s staunch support for the PRO-Act, a Democratic-backed measure that would make it easier for workers to unionize, among other provisions. That proposal passed the House when Democrats held a majority. But it’s never had measurable Republican support in either chamber on Capitol Hill, and Trump has never made it part of his agenda. When Trump named Kennedy as his pick for health secretary, he did not mention the former Democrat’s support for abortion rights. Instead, Trump put the focus on Kennedy’s intention to take on the U.S. agriculture, food processing and drug manufacturing sectors. The vagaries of Trump’s foreign policy stand out, as well. Trump’s choice for national security adviser , Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, offered mixed messages Sunday when discussing the Russia-Ukraine war, which Trump claims never would have started had he been president, because he would have prevailed on Putin not to invade his neighboring country. Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Waltz repeated Trump’s concerns over recent escalations, which include President Joe Biden approving sending antipersonnel mines to Ukrainian forces. “We need to restore deterrence, restore peace and get ahead of this escalation ladder, rather than responding to it,” Waltz said. But in the same interview, Waltz declared the mines necessary to help Ukraine “stop Russian gains” and said he’s working “hand in glove” with Biden’s team during the transition. Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence , the top intelligence post in government, is an outspoken defender of Putin and Syrian President Bashar al Assad, a close ally of Russia and Iran. Perhaps the biggest wildcards of Trump’s governing constellation are budget-and-spending advisers Russell Vought, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Vought led Trump’s Office of Management and Budget in his first term and is in line for the same post again. Musk, the world’s wealthiest man, and Ramaswamy, a mega-millionaire venture capitalist, are leading an outside advisory panel known as the “Department of Government Efficiency.” The latter effort is a quasi-official exercise to identify waste. It carries no statutory authority, but Trump can route Musk’s and Ramaswamy’s recommendations to official government pathways, including via Vought. A leading author of Project 2025 , the conservative movement’s blueprint for a hard-right turn in U.S. government and society, Vought envisions OMB not just as an influential office to shape Trump’s budget proposals for Congress but a power center of the executive branch, “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” As for how Trump might navigate differences across his administration, Gingrich pointed to Chavez-DeRemer. “He might not agree with her on union issues, but he might not stop her from pushing it herself,” Gingrich said of the PRO-Act. “And he will listen to anybody. If you convince him, he absolutely will spend presidential capital.” Short said other factors are more likely to influence Trump: personalities and, of course, loyalty . Vought “brought him potential spending cuts” in the first administration, Short said, “that Trump wouldn’t go along with.” This time, Short continued, “maybe Elon and Vivek provide backup,” giving Vought the imprimatur of two wealthy businessmen. “He will always calculate who has been good to him,” Short said. “You already see that: The unions got the labor secretary they wanted, and Putin and Assad got the DNI (intelligence chief) they wanted. ... This is not so much a team-of-rivals situation. I think it’s going to look a lot like a reality TV show.”

Oklahoma School for the Blind graduate Sandy Evans remains committed to helping vision impaired people. She knows what they go through. “I feel a calling to provide resources and encourage others with disabilities, especially vision loss,” she said. Evans’ roots with Oklahoma School for the Blind go deep, even before she was born. She said her mother, who had a retina disease, was a cheerleader at New Mexico School for the Blind. Her father, who had a cornea disease, was a wrestler for the Arkansas School for the Blind. “They actually met here (at OSB) at a music festival when they were in high school,” she said. “After marriage and two years at Perkins School for the Blind, they came here. My parents really played a key role in encouraging me to further my skills and education.” After graduating from OSB in 1991, Evans attended Northeastern State University, where she studied public relations. She worked for a nonprofit in Wichita, Kansas, before returning to Oklahoma around 2019. She is a vocational rehabilitation specialist with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services. She said she helps people with their vision loss as she deals with her own. “You learn how to feel,” she said. “I do probably more things visually more than I should. It’s a process. As I have lost more vision, I have done more tactile development on the computer, not everybody learns audibly.” Outside her work, Evans is active with Oklahoma Council for the Blind and is a board member for OSB Foundation. She said the foundation supports the school staff and students. “There are a number of activities where state funds don’t help,” she said. “This offers opportunities for classrooms, new activities.” She also enjoys doing crochet, a skill she learned in fifth-grad art class. “It’s more of a stress reliever than an exercise,” she said. “This is something I can do after work.” OSB activities shared with classmates Sandra Evans fondly recalls attending Oklahoma School for the Blind through middle school and high school. “Most of the memories I cherish are activities and events I was able to share with my classmates, as well as other students who were close to my age,” she said. “Oklahoma School for the Blind offered a lot of opportunities for me to be active and learn a variety of skills I probably would not have been able to learn in public schools.” She recalled being a cheerleader, cheering on the Panthers at wrestling tournaments. Many were in other states. Evans was in student council and played keyboard in the school’s jazz band. “I really enjoyed going to other school competitions,” she said. “We played jazz pieces as well as other contemporary music.” She also attended Muskogee High School and took classes at Oklahoma Baptist University between her junior and senior year and at Bacone College her senior year. Through all this, Evans managed to be valedictorian of the OSB Class of 1991. Knit one, pearl two relaxes Evans Evans says crochet is a relaxing way to do something with her hands. “After a long day visiting with clients and traveling, it does help relieve a little stress,” Evans said. “It’s actually something that can be productive as well.” Evans couldn’t say exactly how many pieces she has done. Evans recalled pillows she made at OSB art class and one piece she crocheted for her mother. “It was a scarf I had done when I was quite young, so I enjoyed that,” she said. “The pillows were special, more sentimental than anything else.” She said she’s working to do a greater variety of crochet patterns. “Right now, I am working on more that are a little easier because some of the stitches can be more difficult to feel your way through,” she said. Evans said she encourages her clients to have hobbies, such as crochet. “I try to get them to do something to get their mind off the day-to-day mundane tasks,” she said. “When you have challenges in your life, some things allow you to have more of an outlet, other than physical exercise.” Continues to help with vocation rehab Evans continues to help vision impaired people through the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services. She’s been a vocation rehabilitation specialist for five years. The job includes coordinating instruction for independent living and helping clients set goals. Her first four years were in Enid, where she covered northwest Oklahoma from Kingfisher through the Panhandle. She returned to Muskogee in 2024. Her service area goes up to Washington and Nowata Counties and a couple of zip codes west of Tulsa. She said her husband drives her to clients’ homes. “My home is here so I appreciate being home,” she said. Evans said her biggest challenge is educating and visiting with people about their capabilities. “No matter your limitation, there are skills and technology to accommodate it,” she said. “So even if you have a little bit of impairment, there is opportunity to see better and maximize use of vision.” She said her reward is helping people be more independent and gain new skills “I think its a blessing for them as well as me,” Evans said. HOW DID YOU COME TO BE AN OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE? “My dad was an orientation mobility specialist here for 30 years. I was born here, and after graduating from NSU, I moved away for a job. I had an opportunity to work part time in Wichita. PR for several nonprofits. I came back here to be closer to family.” WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT MUSKOGEE? “It’s small town that’s big enough for some activities and a variety of activities. And it’s home.” WHAT WOULD MAKE MUSKOGEE A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE? “More economic development and growth. But, I think that’s about everybody.” WHAT PERSON IN MUSKOGEE DO YOU ADMIRE MOST? “Some of my teachers at Oklahoma School for the Blind. I remember Ms. Lindsay was my piano teacher and Ms. Maycher taught in the eighth grade. Ms. Carter was sixth grade. They provided encouragement and understanding. In Ms. Carter’s class, there was a big tactile map of Europe and one of our projects was to take all the countries apart, put it back together and name all the countries and all the capitals. She liked to give us orange candies.” WHAT IS THE MOST MEMORABLE THING TO HAPPEN TO YOU IN MUSKOGEE? “I remember the wrestling tournaments. I would participate in cheerleading and it was quite memorable for other states to come here for a tournament. There were a couple of wrestlers from Canada. Just socializing and relating to other students with vision impairments was quite memorable. I am friends with some of them still on social media. I was in Rainbows for a couple of years so I participated in some of their activities. and travel across the state.” WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME? “I do like to crochet a little bit. I do like to watch TV and movies. I love audio description.” HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP MUSKOGEE IN 25 WORDS OR LESS? “Vibrant, full of life and opportunities to see nature.”

Utah Hockey Club walks to arena after bus gets stuck in Toronto trafficThe Delhi High Court is set to deliver its judgement on Monday regarding the anticipatory bail plea of former IAS officer Puja Khedkar , who is facing criminal charges filed by the Delhi Police , accusing her of cheating and unlawfully claiming OBC and disability quota benefits in the civil services examination . The bench of Justice Chander Dhari Singh reserved its order on November 27, 2024. Meanwhile, the court has extended the interim protection granted to Khedkar until the final decision is made. Khedkar, through Advocate Bina Madhvan, stated that she is willing to cooperate with the investigation and submitted that custodial interrogation is not necessary. The Delhi Police, however, through Special Public Prosecutor Advocate Sanjeev Bhandari, informed the court that the investigation is ongoing, and custodial interrogation may be required to uncover the larger conspiracy, adding that certain aspects of the conspiracy still need to be examined. This name change was done in order to fraudulently avail more attempts, he added. Earlier, Delhi Police opposed the anticipatory bail plea and informed the Delhi High Court that as the investigation progresses, a larger conspiracy is emerging in the matter.

The UPSC alleged that Khedkar attempted to manipulate the judicial system and stated that Puja Khedkar has committed perjury by filing a false affidavit, and the intent behind making such a blatantly false statement naturally appears to be an attempt to obtain favourable orders on the basis of the false statement. UPSC stated that the "Claim that the Commission collected her biometrics is absolutely false and were made with the sole aim and purpose of deceiving the Court for obtaining favourable orders. The said claim is denied since the Commission did not collect any biometric data (eyes and fingerprints) during her personality test or carry out any attempts at verification on the basis of the same. The Commission has not collected any biometric information from any candidate during the personality test of the Civil Services Examinations held so far." Puja Khedkar recently filed an anticipatory bail application in relation to a FIR registered against her for allegedly "faking her identity to fraudulently avail attempts beyond the permissible limit" in the civil services examination. Recently, Delhi Police registered an FIR on the basis of a complaint filed by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) against Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar. Recently, the Delhi High Court has also issued notice to suspended IAS trainee Puja Khedkar on an application moved by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) claiming that she made an incorrect assertion in her petition that she was not served the order of cancellation of her candidature. UPSC stated that communication regarding cancelling her candidature was communicated to her on her registered mail ID. So she falsely submitted before the Delhi High Court earlier that the press release dated 31.07.2024 was not officially communicated to her. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )The Kosofe Chamber of Commerce & Industry hosted its highly anticipated President’s Dinner and Awards Night on Friday, December 20, 2024. The event drew an impressive gathering of dignitaries, including public officials and business leaders. The occasion celebrated the chamber’s achievements amidst economic challenges and honored key contributors to the region’s commerce and industry. The event held at the Fish Farm Ogudu, highlighting the chamber’s important role in promoting economic growth in the Kosofe region and beyond. The dinner began with opening remark from the Founder and President of the Kosofe Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Joe Femi-Dagunro. He extended gratitude to the attendees and continued by saying that “what drives us as a chamber is the impact we have on the local economy and SMEs. There is no doubt, the global economy has defied the known economics theories and is bringing the masses into a state of confusion in all spheres of life. Among the fundamental problems of the SMES are lack of funding and bad business structure.” Mr. Femi-Dagunro said. “However, today is not a day of lamentation. Starting next year, the chamber will conclude the registration of its multipurpose cooperative society that will enable its members to have access to loans at a single digit interest rate so that small business owners (SBOs) can grow their businesses and provides job opportunities. SBOs cannot depend on palliatives or grants alone” He once again pledged support for SBOs in the region and urge them to become members of the chamber in order to foster a more inclusive economy. The keynote address was delivered by Barrister Olatunde Adejuyigbe, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. In his speech, Adejuyigbe highlighted the importance of the chamber ́s presence to business owners as he believes that it is a good collaboration approach. “A business owner that wishes to be successful ought to see the need to be part of a body like the Kosofe Chamber of Commerce, that offers a platform for collaboration.” He said. Barr. Adejuyigbe believes that standing together is an antidote to a seasoned business growth. He further explained that standing together is not limited to business owners alone but everyone who is affected in one way or another, he advised business owners to join forces by merging their businesses in order to prevent it folding up or going down the drain. Another notable remark came from the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Investment, Dr. Aina Olugbemiga. In his address, Dr. Olugbemiga, commended the Kosofe Chamber of Commerce for its distinguished contributions to the region. “The Kosofe Chamber of Commerce since its commencement has been a groundbreaker in promoting economic growth in this region.” Dr. Olugbemiga mentioned that it is the responsibility of the Lagos State Ministry of Commerce to ensure that more chambers are established in Lagos. Highpoint of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding businesses, groups and individuals. Some of the categories included and not limited to; `Employer of the Year ́ award – Nosak Group, `Educator of the Year ́ award – Halvan Hill Schools, ‘Hospitality of the year ́ award – Fish farm, `Community Pharmacy of the Year ́ award – Pharm Affairs.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the federal cases against US President-elect Donald Trump -- including one for election subversion -- citing an official policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House, but neither case ever came to trial. Smith, in a filing with the district judge in Washington presiding over the election case, said it should be dropped in light of the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president. He cited the same reasoning in withdrawing his appeal of a ruling by a district judge, a Trump appointee, who dismissed the classified documents case earlier this year. Smith asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the election interference case "without prejudice" -- leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. The special counsel paused the election interference case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. "The Government's position on the merits of the defendant's prosecution has not changed," Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. "But the circumstances have." "It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President," Smith said. "As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated." In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were "empty and lawless, and should never have been brought." "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party's fight against their Political Opponent, ME," he said. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding -- the session of Congress called to certify Biden's win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president's supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases -- in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump's lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office. cl/bgsUtah Hockey Club walks to arena after bus gets stuck in Toronto traffic
