the San Diego Padres unveil their new Diamond
Room, a 70s -themed cocktail lounge and speakeasy,
just in time for Major League Baseball's opening
day on Thursday at 1 .10 in the afternoon. Padres

70s. The Padres have also added two new video

Diego SC stayed unbeaten over the weekend, battling
Real Salt Lake to a 2 -2 draw at Snapdragon.
Marcus Ingvartsen and Anders Dreyer found the
net for the Ticos, but Salt Lake answered late
both times. Late drama in the 85th marked the
second straight match where San Diego surrendered
a lead. frustrating stuff when you know you played
well. The team heads into the FIFA break undefeated

Jose next Saturday. Meanwhile, the Padres are

have ordered Metta to pay... $375 million for
endangering children online. The state of New
Mexico claimed that Facebook's algorithms and
inadequate protections exposed young users to
risks. In a landmark case, the jury sided with
the state attorney general's office, asserting
that Meta's platforms allowed predators to solicit
minors. New Mexico Attorney General Roel Torres
stated, The jury's verdict is a historic victory
for every child and family who has paid the price
for Meta's choice to put profits over kids' safety.
Meta plans to appeal the verdict, asserting its
commitment to user safety. In business news,
America's sneaky inflation culprit is services
like manicures, haircuts, and doggy daycare.
Consumers have plenty of cash. but rising prices
are driving sticky inflation. Camp Bow Wow in
downtown Nashville recently raised its daily
rate to $36, a 9 % increase, yet broke its daily
record with 206 dogs. Owner Steve Lasseter noted,
I don't think anybody even complained. Robust
spending on services is now central to the Federal
Reserve's fight against inflation. In February,
service prices excluding housing rose by 3 .3
% from a year earlier. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
is unchanged at about $71 ,000. Ethereum is up
1 % to just over $2 ,000. And XRP is unchanged
at $1 .41. Moving on to a more local vibe. In

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. De -fake technology is
becoming increasingly sophisticated, putting
companies on high alert. Last summer, Reality
Defender conducted a study revealing that even
experts struggled to identify deepfakes, with
many getting half wrong. As this technology becomes
cheaper and more convincing, companies are targeted
more frequently, especially in the financial
sector. One scam in January led to a Swiss company
losing millions of francs after a fake phone
call. Companies are now enhancing security measures
and training employees to recognize these threats.
The damage caused by defakes goes beyond deception,
creating doubt and eroding trust in corporate
communications. And in entertainment news. In
Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling stars in a soaring,
woody space epic about a man on a last -ditch
mission to protect the sun from an urgent threat.
The film combines the best aspects of Interstellar
and The Martian, recreating a mix of wonder,
adventure, and humor. Gosling plays Ryland Grace,
a former molecular biologist turned middle school
science teacher, tasked with saving the sun from
mysterious particles called astrophages. The
movie features an endearing friendship between
Grace and an intelligent alien named Rocky. While
it has some cutesy moments, Project Hail Mary
ultimately hangs high, delivering a fresh story
with bold aspirations. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American writer and
philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. And he said,
It's not what you look at that matters, it's
what you see. And that's a wrap for this morning.

TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with
local news and the surf reports. Have an amazing
day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
