On Monday, the Strokes performed at Sanders’ rally, which also included a speech by New York representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, with a lively performance that included both classic and new songs. After premiering the music video for its new song “At the Door,” lead singer Julian Casablancas said the band would play “an old favorite,” as its last song. Casablancas invited fans and Sanders supporters to the stage after a crowd-surfer was escorted off the stage, before stage-diving....

“If that’s what happened in a Democratic debate, I think it’s quite likely that Trump will chew him up and spit him out,” Sanders told Anderson Cooper during a 60 Minutes interview to air this Sunday. On Wednesday, Bloomberg appeared on the debate stage for the first time due to the Democratic National Committee’s decision to scrap the donor threshold, thereby making him eligible. His debut performance came with attacks on his “stop-and-frisk” policy and non-disclosure agreement settlements, and his inability to defend himself garnered unanimous criticism from pundits....

It’s been more than 30 years since Bosworth played his first snap at linebacker for Oklahoma, but his college and NFL career is still remembered today. Here’s a look at the 10 most-memorable things about Bosworth’s college and pro career. Two-time Butkus Award winner Several great linebackers won the Butkus Award, including Derrick Thomas (1988), LaVar Arrington (1999), Patrick Willis (2006) and Luke Kuechly (2011). Bosworth, however, is the only two-time winner....

The 5 Most Powerful Moments of the BET Awards 2020 Public Enemy and friends “Fight the Power” As protesters across the world “fight the powers that be,” there was no better time for Public Enemy to perform their iconic protest anthem—after all, the song was originally written for Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee’s movie that features a black man being choked to death by the police. Public Enemy members Chuck D, Flavor Flav, and Jahi were joined by Black Thought, Questlove, Nas, Rapsody, and YG for the performance, and the lyrics were updated to reflect the current moment....

Frankel described the controversy as a “massive scandal” in a video posted on Instagram. She said celebrities have not “disassociated” from Balenciaga because of their commercial relationship with the company, hours before Kim Kardashian released a statement calling out the luxury brand. “From a business standpoint, I assume it’s because they either are paid by this brand [and] legally they’re not allowed to speak negatively about the brand if they want to get paid....

Betis are aiming to pay around £2.7 million for the Croatia international but Chelsea will likely look to make a profit with interest high in Italy. Costa not at Chelsea pre-season training camp Ex-Manchester City man Javi García is another target for Betis who are seeking to reinvest the €18 million that they will receive for Ceballos. AC Milan are also interested in re-signing their loanee from last season on a permanent basis, while Lazio are also thought to be keen on making a move....

Turnouts in American elections are routinely under 50 percent of eligible voters, especially in non-presidential contests like this one. Even after the trauma of the last year, no increase in voters is expected at the polls in November. In fact, the numbers could get worse. People are anxious, even in fear for their lives, and they still won’t vote. Why? The blame is often leveled at the two principal actors in this ritual of democracy–the politicians and the voters....

Just as proof that the nation hadn’t come into Sunday’s night game in Indianapolis off of a bout of amnesia, the Patriots had run just 25 times for 66 yards in the Tom Brady masterpiece of a win over Denver before the bye. They came back from the bye … and Jonas Gray, on the practice squad the first six weeks of the season, carried it 38 times by himself against the Colts in a 42-20 drubbing in which they never trailed....

Leaves find their way into vehicles’ hard-to-reach spots —getting caught under wipers, clogging air intakes and drain holes, and jamming up the sunroof. Wet leaves also contain tree sap, which is acidic and can damage the finish on a car’s paint so it’s best to avoid parking under trees —especially if you’re not driving much. “Anything that’s on your paint, you should clean it off right away and sometimes that’s not possible if you drive multiple cars and one is parked all the time,” said Rob Harper, the director of operations for Ziebart International, an automotive aftermarket company that specializes in refreshing exteriors....

Cooking oils, which often appear in processed foods, can be a problem for people with food allergies. Even refined (purified) cooking oils can contain small traces of allergens, and the product’s label doesn’t always make that clear. This article takes a closer look at the types of cooking oils that contain allergens. It also gives tips on what to look for when choosing an oil to cook with. Vegetable Oils in Food Preparation Vegetable oils are used to prepare many processed and pre-packaged foods....

The truth is, too many people still regard African-American studies primarily as a way to rediscover a lost cultural identity-or invent one that never quite existed. And while we can understand these impulses, those in our field must remember that we are scholars first, not polemicists. For our field to survive, we need to encourage a true proliferation of rigorous methodologies, rather than to seek ideological conformity. AfricanAmerican studies should be the home of free inquiry into the very complexity of being of African descent in the world, rather than a place where critical inquiry is drowned out by ethnic fundamentalism....

The singer released her highly anticipated seventh solo studio album at the end of July, featuring tracks like her comeback single “Break My Soul,” “America Has A Problem,” and “Alien Superstar.” Renaissance’s release sparked its fair share of drama, such as Kelis’ response to the interpolation of her song “Milkshake,” and the removal what was considered as an ableist slur from the song “Heated,” but it has proved a huge hit with fans and critics....

But be warned, if you’re not a cyberpunk, prepare to enter thus world slowly. Mondo’s cyberpunk universe derives from the work of science-fiction novelist William Gibson, whose best-selling books depict a bleak world controlled by multinational corporations, where the heroes rebel and turn technology to their own ends by crashing computer systems or finding exotic drugs. Mondo’s language is English but the meaning can be elusive. The first three issues of the slick quarterly roamed across cyber-lifestyle, with articles that ranged from artificial sex via computer to how to legally purchase drugs designed to make you smarter....

Netanyahu has famously poor relations with Democratic Presidents. His bullying personality and lack of deference to the United States left an aghast Bill Clinton exclaiming “Who’s the f***ing superpower here?” after their first meeting. His relationship with Barack Obama was even worse. Their first official meeting at the White House in May 2009 was, by all accounts, a disaster—and it went downhill from thereon. But unlike Netanyahu’s approach to Biden today, neither Obama nor Netanyahu actually wanted their relationship to turn sour....

As he was riding his bike in Cantwell, Alaska, the man, who police didn’t identify, said he saw the bear running towards him from 10-15 yards away. He got off of his bicycle and started yelling at the bear. “Just prior to the bear making contact, the victim fell to the ground and onto his back, covered his head and believes he kicked at the bear,” according to a description of the incident written by the Alaska Department of Public Safety....

On January 17, Moscow officials arrested Navalny, a Russia critic and prominent organizer of protests against Kremlin corruption, as he returned from Germany, where he spent time recovering from a poison attack. He claims that Putin was involved in the August attack but Russian officials have denied any involvement. In February, a Moscow court sentenced Navalny to three and a half years in a penal colony after he was found guilty of violating the probation terms of a 2014 money laundering conviction....

This decision puts politics over science, risks women’s lives and future fertility and creates a deadly new market for do-it-yourself abortions online and by mail. This is a disaster in the making for millions of women across America who can now be sold life-ending drugs and abandoned to whatever happens next. The Biden administration’s chemical abortion gambit also reveals a deep hypocrisy. Consider that on the same day news was breaking about the gutted health and safety standards for chemical abortion, the FDA also announced it was pulling the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because, out of 7 million people who had taken it, six had suffered blood clots and one person died....
