A local strip club could doom a business curfew in Miami implemented to curb the coronavirus pandemic in Florida’s largest county. Over the past several months, local regulations in Miami-Dade have required businesses close early in the evening, a measure county officials took with hopes of slowing the spread of coronavirus. But on Friday, a Miami-Dade judge ruled in favor of Tootsie’s strip club in Miami Gardens, which sued the city, arguing that the club should be allowed to stay open past the midnight curfew. In her Friday ruling, Judge Beatrice Butchko wrote that the county’s regulations conflict directly with Florida […]
Arsenal fans including TV personality Piers Morgan have reacted with outrage after beloved mascot Gunnersaurus was let go by the club as part of cost-cutting measures on Monday. The Athletic reported that Jerry Quy, who has played the role of Gunnersaurus for 27 years since the mascot was created in 1993, has been sacked by the club as they continue to streamline their operations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s financial impact. On August 5, Arsenal announced their intent to make 55 staff members redundant across several departments, although Quy is not included among that figure as he worked part-time. […]
Just hours before President Trump announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19, he was mingling with fundraisers at an event held at his New Jersey golf club—and even posed for personal photo-ops with supporters. The event went ahead after the White House learned that one of the president’s closest aides, Hope Hicks, had tested positive for the disease, according to multiple reports. Trump was last seen in public Thursday afternoon, when he headed home to the White House after the fundraising trip to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminister. Ahead of that event, attendees were promised a photo opportunity with […]
Wrexham Football Club, who compete in the fifth tier and play at stadium with a capacity of only 10,000, have never played in the top-flight of English football. They have been struggling since 2008 but now they have new investment from an unlikely source. Ryan Reynolds and actor buddy Rob McElhenney are investing around £2 million in Wrexham Football Club in north Wales. On Wednesday night Reynolds shocked Twitter when he replied to a tweet: “You never know when Ryan Reynolds is going to turn up in Wrexham ;)”, which had been written eight years ago. Reynolds tweeted: “Yep, you never […]

English Championship club Queens Park Rangers have hit out at critics of their decision to not take a knee ahead of a recent game, saying that the message behind the ongoing social justice campaign has been lost. Players from both QPR and Coventry opted to forgo the pre-match ritual which has been commonplace in English football, and throughout the rest of the world, in the wake of the death of George Floyd in May and the resulting protests which have been galvanized by the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. This was the first time that a recent televised game in England began […]
pinterest Woodpeckers That Fight to the Death These Woodpeckers’ Bloody Wars Draw Crowds https://t.co/xKADUKGAmC — Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) September 20, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: We have one humongous and two other suet feeders included in our bird feeding world. Before beginning the suet offerings her at Duff Pond, I had not idea that suet was such a staple for birds.

In recent years, traditional all-male clubs stemming from the gentlemen’s clubs of the Enlightenment era have come under severe pressure in several Nordic countries, including Finland, for their perceived lack of equality. While today most people think of ‘gentleman’s clubs’ as seedy adults-only venues featuring strippers, the term originally applied to fraternal establishments for the upper class. The Norwegian Society, one of the few remaining old-fashioned men’s clubs in the country, has come under severe pressure to “join the 21st century” by admitting women. Founded by Norwegian students in Copenhagen in 1772 and moved to Oslo in the early 1800s, the […]
Bayern Leverkusen have announced their star striker Kai Havertz has left the Bundesliga club’s headquarters after talking to club bosses to iron out a €100m move to Chelsea as Roman Abramovich continues his summer spending spree.

VENICE—During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, the island of Sardinia largely escaped any serious outbreaks. The tourist season was over and the islanders kept to themselves. When the lockdown ended in mid May, local health officials wanted to test everyone who came to the island to keep it COVID-free. That plan was largely shot down by elite mainlanders like Silvio Berlusconi, who wanted to spend the summer at his lavish villa, once best known for bunga bunga parties and the nude former Czech prime minister’s untimely erection caught on a paparazzo’s long-lens camera. The idea of any restrictions […]
Diego Maradona has reacted angrily after Napoli, the club where he spent seven sensational years at the peak of his career, appeared to ignore the 30th anniversary of a memorable cup final in which he led them to a resounding win. Maradona, a two-time Serie A winner in Naples, captained the team at their San Paolo home as they thrashed Juventus 5-1 on September 1, 1990, asserting their eminence after they had won Serie A the previous season. Napoli humiliated the Bianconeri on the day but have not won the league since that year and have arguably never had a player as great as […]

Actor Terry Crews found a humorous way to needle NBA players for refusing to play games to protest this week’s police shooting of a black man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, saying they should instead boycott a famous strip club. “Boycott Magic City,” Crews said Thursday on Twitter. The host of “America’s Got Talent,” who’s also black and a former National Football League player, used the hashtag #blacklovematters. The comment elicited strong backlash on Twitter, where Black Lives Matter supporters suggested that Crews was being “anti-black” and distracting from the importance of police brutality. Some used racial epithets to attack Crews, calling him […]

It appears as though the rioters in Portland have revealed Plan Number 2, as they’ve resorted to throwing balloons filled with feces at police, along with other objects including golf balls and rail spikes. They even used a torn out street sign to smash the windows of several police SUV’s. The rioters also targeted the Boys And Girls Club, sponsored by the Portland Trailblazers NBA team. Ironically, this club is located in what is a traditional black neighborhood. Perhaps if the rioters smash up enough black youth clubs, then racial injustice will end. Not sure whose job it was to make […]
“We’ll always have Paris.” Since spring, many Parisian came to doubt the veracity of that famed Casablanca promise, and for good reason. Under complete lockdown for weeks, the city just didn’t feel like itself. Fortunately, it all changed mid-June when cafés and restaurants reopened. Seeing Parisians sipping coffee, munching on croissants and gazing and contemplating life, makes all the difference. I almost forgot I’m wearing a mask. And it helps that the so-called terrasses (patios with outdoor tables) are now spread out on the sidewalks much more liberally than before thanks to special governmental measures aimed at helping restaurateurs and café […]
Barcelona have today sacked manager Quique Setien just days after his side’s humiliating 8-2 defeat against Bayern Munich, amid rumors that club’s current instability has led to prized asset Lionel Messi requesting a transfer. Setien, who was appointed as Ernesto Valverde’s successor in January, had a tumultuous spell in the charge of the Catalan giants, which his position mired almost immediately by reports that many of the first team playing squad were unconvinced by his leadership. The situation at the club degenerated post-lockdown, as Barca surrendered their La Liga crown to rivals Real Madrid and then suffered the historic Champions League […]
An employee tested positive for the disease just days after the club was allowed to reopen, despite tight social distancing restrictions and a mandatory mask-wearing policy for customers and staff members. You MUST leave your mask on. A strip club in downtown Toronto may have exposed as many as 550 people to COVID-19, city health officials warn. Toronto Public Health issued the warning after an employee at Brass Rail Tavern tested positive for the disease. The employee worked several night shifts from 4 August to 9 August.

Scottish Premiership club Ross County lived up to their name when they added a new goalkeeper to their ranks this week, with their loan signing of Ross Doohan meaning they now have FIVE players in their squad named Ross. Remarkably, the loan arrival of Celtic stopper Doohan means County now have three goalkeepers on their books, and ALL of them are named Ross. Doohan joins fellow goalkeepers Ross Laidlaw and Ross Munro in the Scottish side’s lineup, meaning County’s defenders won’t have to learn a new name if the Celtic man ends up taking the starting goalkeeper position.

An exclusive California golf course that has counted Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin among its members is seeing plenty of the taxpayers’ green. The Riviera Country Club, located in a posh enclave of Los Angeles, received $2 million to $5 million in assistance through the Paycheck Protection Program—a multibillion-dollar initiative intended to carry small businesses and their employees through the COVID-19 pandemic. Mnuchin, whose Department of the Treasury has assisted in the operation of the program, disclosed his membership in the elite institution to the U.S. Senate during his confirmation process in 2017. The Small Business Administration released PPP recipient data on […]

Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, who went by the name Ray Hushpuppi, made no secret of his extraordinary wealth. On an Instagram account with 2.3 million followers, he posted photos of himself dripping in high-end watches, wearing robes with his name emblazoned on the back, and driving a $300,000 Mercedes or a white Rolls Royce Cullinan with the hashtag #AllMine.

Amid a larger cultural reckoning with race following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, employees at the historic American Kennel Club were hoping to join a number of other companies and organizations in making Juneteenth a company holiday. Instead, while the nonprofit’s staff were hard at work that day, they received a brief email: Even as the coronavirus pandemic rages on, they would have to return to the AKC’s Midtown Manhattan office within a week. “As you have heard, the good news is that New York City will move to Phase 2 on Monday, June 22, […]
Thank you Bulldog® Gin for partnering with Half Full on the Bartenders At Home cocktail video series. Why do you like making and serving this classic cocktail? “With everyone on stay-at-home orders, we have all become our own bartender. So often we want to create an interesting cocktail, but don’t have access to fresh berries. I wanted to show how jam can be used in a cocktail in place of fresh fruit. The Clover Club Cocktail is a delicious drink, and it really is delicious and close to the original when jam is used in place of a fresh raspberry syrup.” […]
Seattle’s bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been a hotbed of gentrification, but right now, the streets surrounding Cal Anderson Park are undergoing a different kind of transformation. Over the past several days of its remarkable existence, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) has captured radical imaginations across the country, and struck fear into the hearts of conservative politicians and right-wing media pundits (including the president). Also known as the Seattle Autonomous Zone, the six blocks surrounding Seattle’s now-abandoned East Precinct have become a virtually cop-free space, populated instead by a diverse congregation of activists and community members who have turned […]
Rush Limbaugh, who has rarely left his ideological bubble for interviews in years, on Monday sparred with the hosts of popular progressive, black culture-focused radio show The Breakfast Club. The lengthy back-and-forth was often tense, with the top-rated conservative radio talker often being asked to answer for his controversial views on racial politics. At various points in their nearly 30-minute-long chat—which was taped Sunday and aired Monday on both radio shows—the iconic right-wing radio host claimed that “white privilege” does not exist, seemed to liken his own mistreatment by his critics to injustices experienced by people of color, and wondered aloud […]
So far, Boris Johnson’s government has been eager to allow China’s tech giant Huawei to participate in Britain’s 5G rollout despite warnings from its Five Eyes intelligence partners. But following concerns over China’s alleged role in the coronavirus pandemic, Downing Street has become increasingly cautious over its ties with Beijing. London is creating an alliance of 10 democratic countries that will task their national tech companies to supply 5G equipment as an alternative to those provided by China’s giant Huawei, the Times reported citing sources familiar with the development. The club will be dubbed “D10” and could potentially include all G7 […]
Barcelona fans are being given the chance to recreate the look of their heroes by buying replicas of masks that the club’s squad and coaching staff are wearing to training – but fans say the products are capitalizing on COVID-19. While some of Barcelona’s European rivals have charged around a quarter of the price for masks, the reigning La Liga champions are asking for €18 (around $20) for each item, designed to protect against COVID-19 transmission. Barca encouraged their vast global fanbase to buy the garments and provided a gallery of famous faces wearing the new masks, including major summer signings Frenkie De […]
