TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The Detroit Tigers’ Triple-A manager says he was fired this week after sending an “inappropriate” text message to a female colleague. The Tigers announced Tuesday that Gabe Alvarez had been fired for what they called a “violation of club policy,” but they did not specify the violation. Alvarez told ESPN on Wednesday that he sent “a single text message to a colleague that I intended as a lighthearted joke. “Shortly after sending it, I recognized that the message was inappropriate and did not reflect the values and judgment I strive to uphold, and I immediately reached out to clarify my intent,” he said. “I never intended to cause discomfort or offense, and I regret that the message created this situation. This was an isolated incident and not reflective of my long-standing record of professionalism, respect for colleagues, and conduct over the course of my career.” The 52-year-old Alvarez played parts of three big league seasons as a third baseman for Detroit and the San Diego Padres before working as an assistant …

In the BBC show, specialists help to fix personal items and heirlooms brought in by members of the public. But when the late comedian’s handwritten quips, dating back to the 1960s, arrived in the barn, they were considered too offensive by the show’s production team and the segment was scrapped midway through filming. It was reported by The Sun that the item was being repaired as part of a Monkhouse tribute episode, but it’s understood this is not the case, and the segment was merely scrapped from an ordinary instalment of the show.

KUALA LUMPUR: Democratic Action Party (DAP) chief Anthony Loke has ticked off two top party members – his predecessor Lim Guan Eng and Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow – over their public spat on revised land tax in the northern Malaysian state. The party’s leadership was “deeply concerned and disturbed” by the tit-for-tat exchanges between Lim and Chow, local media reported Loke as saying in a statement on Saturday (Mar 21). “This is an unhealthy and inappropriate way to address internal differences on public policy matters,” news outlet Malay Mail quoted him as saying. Loke, who is also Transport Minister, added that such differences of opinion should not be expressed in a manner that “undermines our own chief minister and the state government”. Penang is ruled by DAP, which is also part of the federal ruling government under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Loke added that as former party chief and Penang chief minister, Lim should be aware of the importance of maintaining party discipline. “Any disagreements, especially from backbenchers on state government decisions, should …

Demi Lovato and Keke Palmer are realizing just how much they have in common as fellow child stars, including some not-too-positive experiences. During a recent conversation on the Baby, It’s Keke Palmer podcast, the two stars reflected on the challenges of growing up in the entertainment industry at a young age. Palmer led the Nickelodeon sitcom True Jackson, VP as a teen, and Lovato starred in the Camp Rock movies on Disney Channel and the sitcom Sonny with a Chance. “I became the breadwinner of my family just by proxy. You know what I mean? It’s just what happened,” Palmer recalled. “They had to help with my career and we’re seeing money that we never had seen. That stress for me, especially not being able to process it, was a big triggering point. And then never wanting to be sad or make anybody feel bad about it because I don’t want them to be stressed. And then not having a lot of time to have fun and be a kid.” Lovato knew exactly where The ‘Burbs actress was coming from. “I actually …
Most children of secondary school age (we’re talking 12- to 15-year-olds) have a smartphone – and some of them will be allowed to have one on the condition they’re happy to give their device up every now and then for their parents to check. But what happens if, during one of these checks, you spot something that makes your heart sink? And what about if your teen hasn’t given you permission to check their phone, but you’ve seen a notification flash up that’s left you worried? It’s a minefield – and there’s no set rule for tackling this, as everyone’s situation will be different. That said, experts have shared their thoughts on how to approach this tricky moment, without causing a huge rift.

It’s no surprise that the status quo and social norms shift constantly. That’s part of the reason why different generations of people hold onto different social values, conform to different expectations, and hold onto specific beliefs that feel impossible to comprehend for their younger or older counterparts. According to Johns Hopkins University, part of the reason why Gen Xers who grew up in the 1970s are more self-sufficient and independent than other generations is due to the environment they grew up in, which expected them to cultivate these skills. While certain values and norms fed into their positive personality traits and experiences, there are still things that were socially acceptable in the 1970s that are mostly considered inappropriate today, for a number of reasons. Here are 11 things that were socially acceptable in the 1970s that are mostly considered inappropriate today 1.
