St. Louis restaurant trolls burglars after failed break-in

Published Sun, 22 Dec 2024 09:37:35 GMT

UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. – Restaurant burglars came up empty in University City and end up getting punked in a new video on social media.Surveillance video shows three suspects breaking the front door glass of Diego’s Cantina just before 12:30 a.m. on March 14, hopping over the bar, and rifling through everything in an apparent search for cash.The restaurant’s owners are now using that surveillance video to send a message right back to the criminals, adding a few touches of their own, including music from the song, “Notorious Thugs,” and super-sarcastic captions like, “Nope – we don’t keep cash in our drawer.” The video highlights $2 the burglars left behind on the floor with the caption, “Oh wait, you missed $2.” Top story: St. Louis car wash customers upset over monthly bills “$2 fell out. I guess it was leftover tips from someone or some extra change. It was just on the ground,” said Natasha Kwan, who owns the restaurant with her husband. “They didn’t even see it.

On the new episode of “South Park,” which aired Wednesday night, Cartman and Kenny decide to renovate and reopen a historic Colorado restaurant – “a place where people from all over Colorado would come and see!” Cartman gushes.The plot sounds a lot like what’s happening in the real lives of the show’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who purchased famed eatertainment venue Casa Bonita in 2021 and are on the precipice of its grand reopening in May.The episode, however, isn’t about Casa Bonita. Instead, Cartman has the genius idea to reimagine the place he and his mom have been living for several seasons now: The Coney Island Hotdog stand, based not so subtly on the sausage-and-bun-shaped Coney Island Boardwalk restaurant in Bailey.Last year, Stone and Parker told The Denver Post they had considered saving the Coney Island Boardwalk the same way they did Casa Bonita, but “we just can’t take on another broken restaurant project right now.”Still, that didn’t stop the duo from living...

Important Conversations about Sex and Intimacy with Simone Farschi, Founder of The Pleasure Plus

Published Sun, 22 Dec 2024 09:37:35 GMT

In recent years, there has been an increase in societal conversations about sex education, gender expression and norms, body positivity, and consent. The internet and social media have democratized access to resources about topics previously considered taboo and inappropriate. This access has allowed individuals to educate themselves and learn from the experiences of others, opening up conversations about these issues. Younger generations have also played a significant role in driving these conversations forward as they are often more open and accepting of diverse gender and sexual identities.Despite the progress, an authentic and elevated conversation around sex education can still be challenging for many people due to prevailing norms and stigmas.

To this point, there is a growing movement of holistic sex and in...
