Mice with that? Man arrested after rodents released into McDonald’s in pro-Palestinian protest

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:04 GMT

LONDON — A man has been arrested in Birmingham, England, for allegedly releasing live mice into a number of McDonald’s restaurants in what is said be a pro-Palestinian protest. The 32-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday night after videos of the stunt went viral on social media. Footage released on TikTok shows boxes full of mice painted red, green, black, and white being released into a branch of the fast-food outlet, to the clear alarm of customers. The video included a graphic calling for a “targeted boycott” of McDonald’s, which along fellow large corporations including Starbucks and Disney+ has donated meals and other items to the Israeli military during its operations in Gaza.In the clip, the person behind the prank then runs out of the restaurant and can be heard saying “Free Palestine,” “Boycott Israel,” and “F*** Israel.”The original video is no longer available on TikTok, but has been widely shared elsewhere on the internet.West Midlands Police said Wednesday...

German antisemitism: Robert Habeck jabs Muslim groups, threatens deportations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:04 GMT

Germany’s Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck criticized Muslim groups while expressing concern over rising antisemitism in Germany and calling for tough consequences for people committing antisemitic acts.“Antisemitism is not to be tolerated in any form,” Habeck said Wednesday evening in a speech posted on X. “The extent of the Islamist demonstrations in Berlin and other cities in Germany is unacceptable and requires a tough political response.”Antisemitic acts — such as burning the Israeli flag — are a crime, Habeck said, and those committing them will have to face the consequences. “Anyone who is German will have to answer for it in court. If you’re not German, you also risk your residency status,” Habeck said in the video, which by Thursday morning had racked up more than 4.2 million views. “Anyone who doesn’t have a residence permit provides a reason to be deported.”Habeck, from Germany’s Green party, also called out German Muslim associations for failing...

Frosty Start

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:04 GMT

In what’s the coldest start of the season for many of us, we wake to subfreezing temps that are fairly widespread across the region. That help a heavy frost develop overnight on some of those car windshields, so allow for a few extra minutes to warm up the car/scrape the windshield before heading off to work or school this morning. After the chilly start, the recovery this afternoon is modest, but nice, as highs head for the mid to upper 40s with sunny skies winning out. The breeze is fairly light too, 5-15mph. We’ll catch another frosty start early tomorrow, although not quite as cold, with temps near freezing for many. Tomorrow, the bounce back in temps is more pronounced with highs in the mid to upper 50s. More clouds mix in and the breeze does get gusty, pushing to 20-30mph out of the southwest. Temps nudge toward 60 over the weekend with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a mainly dry forecast. Clocks go back 1hr on Sunday too.

Lexus LC500 is ready for a “L”uxury “C”onvertible refresh

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:36:04 GMT

Although sales continue to improve in the convertible market, Lexus has seen some ups and downs with the LC500 since existence. As goodcarbadcar.net outlines, since July 2017 to June 2023, or 72 months worth of data, Lexus has delivered 11,216 convertibles to consumers; or roughly 156 per month on average… This puts Lexus on notice for sure as a fork in the road is present; Has the time come to refresh the LC or eliminate it?For Toyota’s upscale brand, Lexus is known for delivering luxury and plush vehicles to the market, but sometimes fleet vehicles go too long without a refresh; and in this case, the LC500 is ready for just that. Although a potent 5.0 Liter V8 engine with 471 horsepower is present and fun to drive, the interior could use some updating as we notice similarities to our 2020 LC500 tester. Similar to a Lexus NX350 F-sport that I owned in 2016, the interior infotainment is dated and still has the center console touchpad. This confirms Lexus is either ready to eliminate...
