Multiple videos documenting the ordeal at the restaurant at 417 Fulton Street went online. One video viewed over 367,000 times showed a man yelling to other patrons, though nobody seems to acknowledge him. A woman and others then begin shouting at employees behind the counter, with an unidentified man yelling, “Mandates are not laws.” “Let’s Go Brandon” chants, which are meant as an incendiary jab toward President Joe Biden, were audible in another video....

The situation comes straight from the world of Victorian pornography. The narrator, an English paterfamilias and Tory M.P., leads a passionless existence until he meets his son’s fiancee with whom he becomes erotically enthralled. She, at least, keeps her cool. All-in-the-family sex is nothing new to her: her affair with her teenage brother prompted his suicide. “I tried to soothe him with my body,” she reports. “Semen and tears are the symbols of the night....

The seven-time Pro Bowler, acquired by the Raiders in a blockbuster trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March, was absent from practices earlier this month with a foot injury he sustained in France. On the second episode of Hard Knocks, which aired on Tuesday, Brown explained how the freak injury came about. “I was on vacation in Paris. I was training and I was trying cold therapy to recover my body,” he said....

Brown arrived at Steelers camp last year in a helicopter, which is a hard act to top, but the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver gave it a shot, flying in to Raiders camp on a hot-air balloon. The Raiders posted video of his adventure in a tweet entitled “Float like a butterfly, sting like AB” (clever: the late Muhammad Ali would probably approve). “I thought it would be exciting to switch it up,” Brown said....

If you’re not caught up, the Steelers receiver reportedly missed the final game of the season not due to his injury (he was listed as questionable), but due to a dispute with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. During his end-of-the-year press conference Wednesday, coach Mike Tomlin addressed some of the drama surrounding Brown and the team. Tomlin said, in part, Brown was benched due to a “lack of communication” with the team....

LONDON (Reuters) - Italian Antonio Conte was handed the responsibility of reviving Chelsea’s fortunes and bringing the Premier League title back to Stamford Bridge when he was named as their new head coach on Monday. Conte, 46, the head coach of Italy, will move to London on a three-year contract after the June 10 - July 10 European Championship in France. Conte has long been touted as Chelsea’s first choice to succeed Jose Mourinho as their next permanent manager following the departure of the Portuguese in December after Chelsea made their worst start to a top flight campaign for more than 30 years....

“You are nothing more than an entertainer. Just shut up and do what we say. … One things for sure I know my husband was told Not to take a Knee and he went with his heart and he took one. And that cost him his Job … and Clearly this Statement backs that up… Just Paid to put on a show,” Terricka Cason said in a since-deleted Instagram post (via the Indianapolis Star)....

Eight months ago, it would have seemed like a preposterous notion to start a rookie over Gibson, who has scored double-digit touchdowns in each of his pro seasons and notched over 1,300 scrimmage yards in 2021. However, Robinson impressed right off the bat, and seemed to already be winning the favor of Washington head coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Scott Turner. UPDATE: Robinson has fallen victim to a tragic turn of events....

“Shortly after the strike, we did request additional details [from Israel] regarding the justification for it,” Blinken said during a news conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. “I have not seen any information provided.” He added that he “will leave it to others to characterize if any information has been shared and our assessment [of] that information.” Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said Israel was compiling evidence for the U....

...and people either liked it, or found out he played "World of Warcraft." ...and so on.

I always wanted to go to college, but it felt so far out of reach. I didn’t have the funds, in-state tuition, or economic assistance provided to those with citizenship. Still, I visited local colleges with a positive mindset, hoping things would just work out. But it seemed like everywhere I turned, doors were closed shut. My local community college told me that I had to pay the “foreign” tuition rate—three times the standard tuition—even though I attended K-12 public schools in the city where I grew up....

Many individuals—including professional psychologists and psychiatrists, and people who have worked inside the administration or been close to it—have called into question President Donald Trump’s mental fitness for the office he holds. The author of A Warning also wrote the controversial anonymous op-ed in The New York Times, which alleged officials had talked about invoking the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. The 25th Amendment allows for the removal of the president if they are unable to carry out their duties, such as through death or disability, and be replaced by the vice president....

Following the official reveal of the impressively detailed Minecraft DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, one iconic SEGA franchise requested to join Smash, and it is likely not one fans would expect. The official account for none other than Tetris tweeted out the hilarious gif from Dumb and Dumber with the line “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” in response to the news.

The joint operation kicked off last Friday against Ansar, a group allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, when nearly 6,000 peshmerga soldiers streamed toward Shinerwe Mountain. Their advance followed a night of relentless bombardment by U.S. aircraft. The attack on the enclave, which held up to 1,000 fighters–some of whom trained in Afghanistan–may act as a blueprint for the military campaign against Saddam Hussein from northern Iraq. There are currently over 1,000 soldiers of the 173rd Airborne in Kurdish territory along with several hundred Special Forces soldiers–not the kind of numbers that would allow a large-scale ground attack....

Wes Anderson (“The Royal Tenenbaums”) transports his arch, pristine, melancholic sensibility to India, where three estranged brothers meet after their father’s death and hop a train in a quixotic attempt to heal their spiritual wounds. The oldest is the bossy, gung-ho Francis (Owen Wilson), his face swathed in bandages after a motorcycle crash. The suave and shifty middle brother, Peter (Adrien Brody), is terrified of fatherhood. The well-dressed but barefoot writer Jack (Jason Schwartzman) is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend....

The prolific scorer took only 10 shots in the game-five loss, scoring 16 points. Antetokounmpo had almost that many shots – nine – in the first half on Thursday as the Bucks turned it on in the second quarter to open a 48-39 half-time lead. Boston fought back and made it a one-possession game with less than six minutes remaining. But Malcolm Brogdon (16 points) hit a three-pointer to build the lead to six at the five-minute mark, and Antetokounmpo scored 10 of the Bucks’ final 19 points to help his team prevail....

The major overhaul that could potentially save Anthem, dubbed Anthem 2.0 or Anthem Next, is still a work-in-progress, despite having been announced almost a year ago. The BioWare blog has consistently been updated with the changes players may see in Anthem, but it still seems like the completed update is a ways away. One thing that’s missing, however, is one of BioWare’s most popular features—romance. RELATED: 10 Video Games With the Most Disastrous Launches...

“Satisfying Loot Experience” is how BioWare describes it’s new loot philosophy, stating that, “a good player experience depends on the loot system being extensible and robust.” That thought is followed up by acknowledging that “a lot did go wrong” in Anthem. That’s why BioWare decided to rebuild Anthem’s loot system from the ground up. That process started by analyzing other games that did loot well and forming goals based on that research....

Davis did not return to the game, and his return to the court remains to be determined, the Pelicans announced. At the time of the injury, Davis had seven points and four rebounds in 10 minutes of action. Davis' injury is a tough one considering how well he has played to start his second NBA season. Davis, who struggled with injury last season, is averaging 19.6 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3....

Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), made several media appearances following the CDC’s announcement on Monday. The isolation period has been reduced from 10 days to five for asymptomatic people and the CDC cited scientific evidence that people are most infectious two days before they develop symptoms and three days afterward. After the five days in isolation, asymptomatic people are advised to wear a mask around others for a further five days....
