and Space Administration, known as NASA. Signed
into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, this
visionary act marked the dawn of a new era in
space exploration and scientific discovery. From
landing the first humans on the moon to exploring

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, a Brockton
lawmaker aims to promote South Shore's Mar Pizza
as Massachusetts' official pizza variety. A unique
thin crust pan pizza that has gained popularity
over the last decade. State Senator Michael Brady,
a Democrat from Brockton, has filed legislation
to establish this designation. The bill defines
bar pizza as a 10 -inch thin crust with cheese
extending to the edges, creating a burned lace
around the crust. While the bill faces no organized
opposition, it must gain traction among Democratic
leaders. Brady believes this could enhance business
and revenue for the Commonwealth. Now on to sports.
Mike Trout's return to the outfield keeps being
delayed, with no clear timeline in sight. Initially
expected to come back on May 30th, then after
the All -Star break, Trout is now sidelined due
to left knee soreness. This is the same knee
that required two surgeries last season. Trout
said, still trying to get back out there, for
sure, indicating his struggle to ramp up intensity.
With a mere 2 .8 % chance of making the playoffs,
the Angels may need to shift Trout into a designated
hitter role, while George Soler's struggles complicate
their roster decisions. In local sports, Last
night in Minneapolis, the Red Sox were edged
out by the Twins 5 -4. Despite a ninth -inning
rally with Anthony driving in runs, the Sox fell
short as the loss was handed to Hicks, unable
to contain the late surge by Minnesota. Kiersey
and Lee powered the Twins with crucial hits,
and although Fitz started strong, the bullpen
couldn't hold. The Sox now stand at 57 wins and
51 losses, needing a boost on the road. Tonight,
the Sox face the Twins in Minneapolis for Game
2 of this three -game series. Lucas Giolito,
boasting a 3 .97 earned run average, takes the
mound for the Twins, while the Sox's pitcher
remains undecided. First pitch is at 740 under
clear skies and a warm 85 degrees. In top news,
a new study from Keck Medicine School of USC
reveals a staggering increase in alcohol -related
liver disease among heavy drinkers, even without
increased consumption. The incidence has more
than doubled, particularly among women, older
adults, and those with health conditions. Over
two decades, the percentage of heavy drinkers
with significant liver scarring rose from 1 .8%.
to 4 .3%. The study analyzed data from over 44
,000 adults and showed that heavy drinking demographics
have shifted. Experts suggest that current definitions
of heavy drinking may be too lenient, prompting
a need for revised screening methods and public
health strategies. In business news, Artificial
intelligence is dramatically altering the job
landscape for recent college graduates. Many
employers, facing a shift in hiring practices,
now prefer experienced professionals over entry
-level staff as AI tools like ChatGPT can perform
tasks traditionally assigned to young workers.
This trend has led to a decline in entry -level
job offerings. with a notable 50 % drop in such
hires among major tech companies since 2019.
Graduates are finding themselves competing not
only with fewer positions, but also with those
who have been laid off. Experts warn this could
reshape the workforce, diminishing opportunities
for skill development among new graduates. In
crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 1%. to about
$118 ,000. Ethereum is down 0 .5 % to just under
$3 ,800. And XRP is down 4 % to $3 .12. Moving
on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight

to tell them. Sunny morning sent you by. And
now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Tesla
is attempting to transform the gas station experience
with its new diner in Hollywood, where electric
vehicle owners can enjoy a meal while charging
their cars. While this retro -futuristic location
features 80 chargers and entertainment, the future
of electric vehicle charging is likely to be
more practical. Many drivers already charge at
home for convenience and cost. Innovations in
battery technology are paving the way for ultra
-fast charging options, potentially making gas
stations less relevant. Instead of focusing on
entertainment, the aim should be to integrate
more charging stations where vehicles are already
parked, enhancing accessibility. And in entertainment
news... The highly anticipated sepal, The Devil
Wears Prada 2, is officially in production in
New York City, with stars Meryl Streep, Anne
Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt returning
to their iconic roles. However, Adrian Grenier
will not reprise his character, Nate Cooper.
Directed by David Frankel, this sepal picks up
after the original story of aspiring journalist
Andy Sachs. who navigates the cutthroat fashion
world under Miranda Priestly. While plot details
remain under wraps, the film is set to premiere
in theaters on May 1, 2026, nearly 20 years after
the original's release. Well, alrighty folks,
it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American inventor and
engineer, Charles Kettering. And he said, The
world hates change, yet it is the only thing
that has brought progress. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
videos with local news and the weather reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
in Boston.
