Esquire’s 2015 profile on Teller began with the journalist “trying to figure out if he’s a d***” during their conversation before determining a few paragraphs later that, despite his charm, he was “kind of a d***.” At the time, the actor — who was quickly rising to fame after the success of Whiplash and Divergent — issued a statement in response to the profile saying: “I don’t think there’s anything cool or entertaining about being a d*** or an asshole.” Over 10 years later, the 39-year-old actor told IndieWire at the Cannes Film Festival that the …

Column: NATO has stepped up. So why would the U.S. now step out?

Published by Sam Flores

President Trump is meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte next week as the president — once again — says he is weighing pulling the U.S. out of the 80-year-old alliance. During his first term, Trump threatened not to defend fellow members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization against Russian aggression if those nations did not spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense. Now, he is floating the idea of leaving NATO because of the reluctance from member countries to get involved in the Iran war and policing the Strait of Hormuz. “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself,” the president posted on social media. “The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us.” A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 66% of Americans want to end the conflict with Iran even if the goals the president outlined — including in his Wednesday address to the nation — are not met. Less than a third supported pushing forward. Maybe it’s the gas prices. Maybe it …

Investigators probe whether LaGuardia traffic control worker stepped away to use emergency phone before deadly crash

Investigators probe whether LaGuardia traffic control worker stepped away to use emergency phone before deadly crash

Published by Sam Flores

Federal authorities are reportedly investigating whether an air traffic controller at LaGuardia Airport was forced to leave their console to use an emergency landline in the moments leading up to a fatal collision between an Air Canada Express jet and a fire truck. The inquiry is one of several critical questions being pursued by the National Transportation Safety Board, The New York Times reports, as it attempts to reconstruct the events of March 22. The crash, which resulted in the deaths of two pilots, occurred when the aircraft struck a Port Authority vehicle as it was landing. The collision marked the first fatal incident at the Queens airport in more than 30 years. Sources familiar with the investigation told The NYT that officials were looking into whether the use of a “crash phone” — a dedicated landline often located at a distance from active workstations — affected the controller’s ability to monitor the runway during a pivotal window of time. The staffing of the tower has remained a central point of the investigation. Federal Aviation …

How a patient stepped out for a vape and foiled a suicide bomber at Leeds hospital | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Nathan Newby stepped outside a hospital for a vape and some fresh air on a winter night – but ended up talking down a suicide bomber after a simple act of kindness. This “extraordinary, ordinary man”, as a judge called him, is today being honoured with a George Medal, the UK’s second-highest civilian award for bravery. He spotted Mohammad Farooq looking upset and agitated outside St James’s Hospital in Leeds on 20 January 2023. He was there to commit mass murder at the entrance to the maternity wing, killing nurses and potentially patients too. “[He] seemed like he might want a chat or had some bad news, so I went over and asked how it were. And it just went from there really,” says Mr Newby. Farooq, a trainee nurse at the hospital, had a pressure cooker packed with 10kg of gunpowder in a bag and hoped to kill nurses by luring them outside with a bomb threat.

The moment I knew: He stepped out of the shower and into a robe – he looked pretty handsome | Australian lifestyle

Published by Sam Flores

We met in 1998, at a health and relationship course run back then by the Gay Men’s Health Centre in Melbourne. I saw David across the crowded room at a drinks session afterwards and slowly made my way around to talking with him. We were both in our mid-30s, and I’ve always gone for those tall skinny guys. We chatted easily and before he left I scribbled down my number. He rang a few weeks later on a Saturday night, apparently figuring I wouldn’t be home and that he’d just leave a message. When I picked up, I think he was a little thrown. He said something like: “Hi, um, hang on a sec, oh fuck, I’ve gotta turn the rice down!” And I thought, this is my sort of guy – Saturday night at home cooking rice, what’s not to love. Not long after that I had him over for dinner. I’d cooked a roast and he always tells the story that there were 17 different vegetables. There might have been seven or eight …

Kate Middleton’s ‘ultimatum’ to Prince William amid heartbreaking 2007 split – before Queen Elizabeth stepped in

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Princess of Wales gave Prince William an “ultimatum” shortly before their 2007 break-up, leading to an unprecedented intervention from the Queen, a new book has revealed.  In his new biography, William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, The Mirror‘s Royal Editor Russell Myers sheds light on the early relationship between the future King and Queen – and explores in detail the pivotal year where it all nearly came to an end.  Prior to their split, and four years into their relationship after meeting at St Andrews University, Kate gave William an “ultimatum”, telling him to commit to their future, or she would walk away.  In a passage from the new book serialised in the new book, Russell writes: “Catherine delivered an ultimatum to William. While she did not explicitly demand an engagement or even a promise of marriage, she did break free from the gentle and arguably submissive persona that had typified her relationship with the future king.” However, it was the late Queen Elizabeth II, having witnessed the damage caused by the breakdown of …

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk

This story was originally reported by Chabeli Carrazana of The 19th. Meet Chabeli and read more of their reporting on gender, politics and policy. A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half. Her mother had risked going into work to get just enough money for more diapers when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents stopped her car and took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16-year-old daughter and the baby — just barely 3 months old. With their mother gone, the teenager tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail. So they called Bri. For over a month and a half now, Bri, a mother of two in Minneapolis, has run an expansive donation network in the city, most of it to help other moms and families with children. Bri, who is breastfeeding her own infant, posted on her social media that in addition to groceries and diapers and wipes, she could also donate breastmilk to anyone who needed it. Bri is an …

Police appeal for ‘heroic’ witness who stepped in to help three women in Camden | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Police are appealing for a “heroic” witness to come forward after he stepped in to protect a group of women being harassed in northwest London. Officers were called to Camden High Street at 8am on 14 January following reports a man had attempted to rob and sexually assault a group of women. It was only when reviewing CCTV footage as part of their investigation that the unidentified man’s “heroic” role was revealed. Image: Pic: Met Police Sergeant Max Pennington, of the Metropolitan Police, said: “This man saw three women being subjected to attention from an intoxicated man that was clearly unwanted. “He could have kept on walking, but instead he repeatedly placed himself between the women and the man, putting his safety on the line to do so. “He didn’t just stop to help, he stayed until he knew the women were safe. He should be proud of his actions. “We want to thank him for his heroic actions but also believe he is a key witness who has important information which could assist with …
