However, gates to Levi’s Stadium open several hours before, at 11:30 a.m — meaning you can expect the traffic from event attendees and dedicated tailgaters to begin on Sunday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for how long the Super Bowl will last — and when exit traffic will begin — that’s far less clear.

But amid national debates about competitive advantage, more than half of U.S. states have passed legislation prohibiting transgender girls from participating in women’s sports teams in schools in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing oral arguments in two cases challenging such bans in Idaho and West Virginia on Tuesday, the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, appears poised to side with the states.

These laws allow schools to make distinctions on the basis of sex, they argued, and allow schools to place athletes on teams on the basis of sex to “preserve fairness and safety.” They made the case that transgender athletes, who hold “countless competitive advantages,” according to Idaho, “displaces” cisgender competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the athletes’ legal teams say that’s not categorically true, and that the states are discriminating against their clients on the basis of sex.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Then there was \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/travel-museums-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-lifestyle-22fc64a793f93191dd09f5c0531e607e\">Dilbert’s pet, Dogbert,\u003c/a> a megalomaniac.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a certain amount of anger you need to draw ‘Dilbert’ comics,” Adams told the Contra Costa Times in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1993, Adams became the first syndicated cartoonist to include his email address in his strip. That triggered a dialogue between the artist and his fans, giving Adams a fountain of ideas for the strip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Dilbert” was also known for generating aphorisms, like “All rumors are true — especially if your boss denies them” and “OK, let’s get this preliminary pre-meeting going.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you can come to peace with the fact that you’re surrounded by idiots, you’ll realize that resistance is futile, your tension will dissipate, and you can sit back and have a good laugh at the expense of others,” Adams wrote in his 1996 book “The Dilbert Principle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one real-life case, an Iowa worker was fired from the Catfish Bend Casino in 2007 for posting a “Dilbert” comic strip on the office bulletin board. In the strip, Adams wrote: “Why does it seem as if most of the decisions in my workplace are made by drunken lemurs?” A judge later sided with the worker; Adams helped find him a new job.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A gradual darkening\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Adams’ career \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-business-d1d88fe02461930d9c2ad70e1f55b136\">fall seemed swift, careful readers of “Dilbert”\u003c/a> saw a gradual darkening of the strip’s tone and its creator’s descent into misogyny, anti-immigration and racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He attracted attention for controversial comments, including saying in 2011 that women are treated differently by society for the same reason as children and the mentally disabled — “it’s just easier this way for everyone.” In a blog post from 2006, he questioned the death toll of the Holocaust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June 2020, Adams tweeted that when the “Dilbert” TV show ended in 2000 after just two seasons, it was “the third job I lost for being white.” But, at the time, he blamed it on lower viewership and time slot changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams’ beliefs began bleeding into his strips. In one in 2022, a boss says that traditional performance reviews would be replaced by a “wokeness” score. When an employee complains that could be subjective, the boss said, “That’ll cost you two points off your wokeness score, bigot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams put a brave face on his fall from grace, tweeting in 2023: “Only the dying leftist Fake News industry canceled me (for out-of-context news of course).

For the 2025–26 season, a full Ikon pass offering unlimited access at 18 resorts worldwide, including Palisades Tahoe and Sierra-at-Tahoe, is a steep $1,519. The Epic Pass, which includes unrestricted access to 42 resorts, including Tahoe’s Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood, is $1,185. And both Ikon and Epic’s pass prices have increased with each passing year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs of these passes have driven many skiers and snowboarders into the backcountry, outside of the resorts’ boundaries.
