We as a nation need to come together to legalize taking cash that falls off a truck

Chicago police investigators have cracked the case: A 4- to 5-foot alligator is living in a lagoon at one of the city’s most popular parks. Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said Tuesday that investigators went to Humboldt Park Lagoon on the city’s West Side and confirmed that the unusual resident is there, as reported on social media.

Officials couldn’t say how the creature got there, but said that alligator traps are being placed around the lagoon in hopes the animal will swim into one and be safely removed. (AP)

A Maine couple has bought a Harrisville, R.I., farmhouse that inspired the 2013 horror movie “The Conjuring.” Cory Heinzen tells the Sun Journal he’s heard doors opening, footsteps and knocks. The previous owners said the 1736 farmhouse was indeed haunted — by trespassers hoping to get a glimpse.

Heinzen said he became interested in the paranormal while bivouacking at a Civil War battlefield and hearing screams and cannons. He and his wife bought the home last month and hope to open it to visitors and investigators later this year. (AP)

Drivers on Atlanta’s perimeter highway were bombarded by flying money after a door swung open on an armored truck.

WSB Radio reports the rain of cash prompted a dozen or more drivers to pull over on I-285. A video shows people spilling out of their cars to scoop up the bills. Amazingly, no one was hurt. When police arrived, the opportunists had driven off.

Dunwoody Police Sgt. Robert Parsons said taking the money off the road is a crime. They’re investigating how much is missing. Parsons says they’re going to need the cash back. (AP)

A pizzeria with a purpose

DINING Melody Stein grew up in restaurants. Not only did her parents own and operate a Chinese eatery in San Francisco, but the family — all of them foodies — also constantly went out to eat. Stein still remembers the excitement of sampling Japanese, Vietnamese and French food for the first time.

When she reached college age, she wanted to attend the California Culinary Academy.

That’s when her deafness almost defeated her dreams. “[The Academy] called my mom and said we can’t accept her application because she’s deaf,” Stein, 45, signed via an interpreter. “What if they were in the kitchen trying to yell, ‘Out of the way!’ with hot soup? They viewed me as a liability.”

It took her about 20 years, but Stein proved them wrong. Today, she co-owns and runs Mozzeria, a Neapolitan-style pizzeria in San Francisco, with her husband, Russ Stein, 47, who is also deaf.

But it’s not just a pizza joint.

suffer what Melody did, the couple employ only deaf individuals to run their pizzeria.

Now, the Steins’ pizzeria-witha-purpose is coming to Washington. Bolstered by an investment of several million dollars from the Communication Service for the Deaf Social Venture Fund, Mozzeria will open a second restaurant at 1300 H St. NE in spring 2020.

Their new restaurant will sit just seven blocks from the first deaf-run Starbucks signing store,

which opened in October 2018.

Russ Stein signed in a recent interview that the H Street location is especially meaningful because it is near Gallaudet University, the world-renowned school for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Both of the Steins attended Gallaudet, which is where they met.

“It’s been a longtime dream to see a deaf-owned restaurant in Washington, D.C.,” Russ Stein signed through an interpreter.

The couple wants to expand to even more cities. No matter how

far afield they range, though, one thing will remain constant: all deaf employees, all the time.

Russ Stein said the hiring policy actually gives Mozzeria a competitive advantage.

“We’re good at making sure our customer experience is a good one because we’re excellent at reading their body language,” he said. “There’s nothing more powerful than seeing that customer smile after eating that pizza.” HANNAH NATANSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

July 4 drains D.C. fund

expressline

This year’s “Salute to America” celebration included military flyovers.

MANDEL NGAN (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

THE DISTRICT President Trump’s overhauled Fourth of July celebration cost the D.C. government $1.7 million, an amount that — combined with police expenses for demonstrations through the weekend — has bankrupted a special fund used to protect the nation’s capital from terrorist threats and provide security at events such as rallies and state funerals.

In a letter to the president Tuesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, warned that the fund has now been depleted and is estimated to be running a $6 million deficit by Sept. 30. The mayor also noted that the account was never reimbursed for $7.3 million in expenses from Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

Bowser requested that the White House commit to fully reimbursing the fund.

“We ask for your help with ensuring the residents of the District of Columbia are not asked to cover millions of dollars of federal expenses and are able to maintain our high standards of protection for federal events,” she wrote. President Trump asked the Pentagon to marshal a wide array of military hardware, including tanks and fighter jets, for his Fourth of July address.

White House officials did not respond to requests for comment.

Chris Rodriguez, director of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, said in an interview that the estimated costs for July 4 were six times as much as in years past and were likely to grow as the city continues to tally expenses. The president’s new Independence Day celebration, called “A Salute to America,” included a speech by Trump at the Lincoln Memorial, flyovers by military aircraft and

That event also drew a large

counter-protest, and hundreds of police officers worked to prevent violence between the two sides.

The District’s Emergency Planning and Security Fund is filled by federal money that reimburses the city for its unique public safety costs as the nation’s capital. Those include providing security at presidential inaugurations, visits by foreign dignitaries and the massive rallies that periodically come to the District.

While it once carried large balances from year to year, in the Trump era the fund has dwindled. It was never repaid more than $7 million of the $27.3 million in costs the city incurred during the 2017 inauguration, city officials said.

By contrast, the Obama administration reimbursed $8.9 million in overruns for the 2013 inauguration, which also went over budget, federal records show.

White House officials have said that the District agreed to use unspent money in the emergency fund to pay for inaugural costs, an assertion denied by the Bowser administration.

Congress and the White House have been placing less money in the account each year than the city is spending — in fiscal 2017, for example, $14.9 million was added to the fund, while $24.4 million was spent.

Bowser said in her letter to Trump that the December funeral of former President George H.W. Bush had also contributed to the fund’s depletion.

Last month, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D, the District’s nonvoting representative in Congress, and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., urged Senate and House appropriations leaders to put an additional $6 million into the emergency fund. PETER JAMISON

VIRGINIA Former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder kissed a 20-year-old student at Virginia Commonwealth University without her consent, according to an investigation conducted by an outside attorney hired by the school.

The investigation found Wilder responsible for “non-consensual sexual contact” but cleared him of three other allegations made by the woman: sexual exploitation, sex or gender-based discrimination and retaliation.

The student, Sydney Black, filed a formal complaint with VCU in December 2018, and several months later the university hired a civil rights law attorney.

Black, now 22, has said Wilder, 88, kissed her and made overtures including suggestions that she could live at his house and accompany him on foreign travel. He also offered to pay for law school, she said.

She got to know the nation’s first elected African American governor in 2017, while she worked as an office assistant at the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at VCU, where he is a distinguished professor. Black has said that after she rebuffed his advances, Wilder told her there was no longer funding for her position.

Wilder on Wednesday did not return requests for comment.

Black’s mother, Margo Stokes, said she would like Wilder to resign from the university.

Fierce council debate ends with narrow vote on $215 million program THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council approved a sole-source contract Tuesday for the Greek gaming company Intralot to manage a lucrative online sports betting and lottery program in the nation’s capital.

The contentious 7-to-5 vote came after a majority of the

council’s 13 members expressed concerns about the $215 million, five-year deal, which became mired in an ethics scandal involving its champion, council member Jack Evans, D-Ward 2.

But several lawmakers ultimately voted yes despite earlier qualms about Evans’ involvement and the council’s decision to suspend competitive bidding rules, paving the way for Intralot’s monopoly on sports wagers placed on phones and computers.

WAYNE PARRY (AP)

City OKs contract for sports betting D.C. residents and visitors could begin placing bets as early as this fall.

Most of the contract would benefit local subcontractors without an extensive record in the sports gambling industry, several with political connections.

Opponents said the proposal

Inmate who sued her Virginia prison over alleged poor medical treatment dies of terminal illness

was deeply flawed.

“This stinks,” said council member Elissa Silverman, I-At Large. “Given all the ethics clouds over this building and this contract, we need to hit pause.”

But Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said the subcontractors who stand to profit from the deal should not be a concern because they were not selected by the District government.

District residents and visitors may be able to legally place sports wagers at arenas and local businesses as early as this fall.

Intralot would manage the mobile app, which is expected to go live in early 2020 and, proponents and analysts say, become the most popular way to bet.

Revenue projections for legalized sports betting have fallen short of expectations in other states that have legalized the activity. FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Witness presented to defend Fairfax Va. lieutenant governor offers evidence to deny sexual assault allegation VIRGINIA A lawyer for Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, D, has told a prosecutor that a witness was present and can corroborate that Fairfax’s sexual encounter with Meredith Watson at Duke University in 2000 was consensual.

Fairfax lawyer Barry J. Pollack has written to a prosecutor in Durham, N.C., to say that the witness — whom he did not identify — backs up Fairfax’s claim that Watson’s charge against him is “demonstrably false.�

Watson has said Fairfax sexually assaulted her when they were undergraduates at Duke.

She is one of two women to come forward with accusations of sexual assault against Fairfax.

He denies both.

Fairfax has said both encounters were consensual and offered to work with law enforcement officials in investigations.

Both women have said they want to testify before the Virginia General Assembly, where Republicans have called for hearings. But Democrats have said they think the matter should be left to law enforcement.

STEVE HELBER (AP)

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Two women have accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault and seek a public hearing.

Watson’s attorney, Nancy Erika Smith, said Fairfax was changing his story “and now for the first time he implicates his buddy as a participant.� She renewed her call for a public hearing. “If Justin Fairfax wants the truth to come out, this secret witness should testify under oath, in public, along with Mr. Fairfax, both his victims and their witnesses,� Smith said in a written statement. “Fairfax continues to fight a public hearing tooth and nail. That says it all.�

Fairfax had been widely viewed as a possible future governor until the accusations came to light in February.

dcrider DC RIDER | KERY MURAKAMI

The ‘WMATA tax’: Transfer fee policy doesn’t help equally rides to and from rail, but as of July 1, those with a pass, such as a monthly plan with unlimited rail trips, now also get unlimited Metrobus rides. Those taking other bus lines, such as Montgomery County Transit Service or Fairfax Connector, still have to pay.

Critics question the fairness of giving free transfers only to those who can afford the upfront cost of buying a pass.

For many, like Thompson, that won’t bring much relief.

According to Metro’s fare calculator, linking free transfers to buying passes appears to primarily help those with long train rides. For example, a rider who has to commute by bus and train back and forth between Vienna and Capitol South would normally pay $75 a week in fares, factoring in Metro’s 50-cent discount for bus transfers.

However, beginning July 1, those buying unlimited rail rides with a $58 weekly pass began saving about $17 by getting unlimited free bus rides.

But because Thompson takes shorter trips, he’d get a $38 weekly short-trip pass, also with unlimited train and now bus rides, meaning he’d save just $4 a week.

To be sure, those paying the most in fares for longer rides will save the most. But, Thompson said, he needs help too. He’s already scrimping as much on transportation as he can.

On his way home on the Metroway that day, he didn’t budge as the Crystal City station came and went. The bus costs the same regardless of how far he goes, so he stayed on

Metrobus gets barely passing grade in report

KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

On a recent afternoon, Ronald Thompson Jr. was headed home to Anacostia from his job at a car rental business in Potomac Yards, where he drives vehicles to and from a maintenance shop.

Thompson is one Metro rider for whom paying fares can be a struggle. He has about $1,000 left to pay off after a fall landed him in the emergency room with a concussion.

He’s also saving up to attend Northern Virginia Community College in the fall, and he’d like to get his cellphone fixed.

So, after having just spent $2 to get on a Metroway bus to the Pentagon City station, it hurt to have to pull out his SmarTrip card again to pay another $2.25 for the train ride home.

It’s all one trip, he said, but unlike many other major transit systems in the U.S., Metro makes people who have to transfer from a bus to a train — or the other way around — pay twice. Although Metro does give a 50-cent discount when switching between buses and trains, about $22.50 of the roughly $42 that Thompson pays each week to travel to and from work goes to transfers.

The “WMATA tax,” as Thompson calls it, hits hardest for lower-income people for whom paying once is difficult enough. Partial relief came last week, when Metro took a step toward making Metrobus transfers free for riders who buy rail passes.

Pass holders previously had to pay separately for Metrobus

Ronald Thompson Jr., who commutes from Anacostia to Potomac Yards, says Metro’s policy of charging for transfers is unfair to low-income riders.

as it crawled through traffic for another 10 minutes to the Pentagon City station, where the train ride would be shorter.

“It’s just a little cheaper this way,” he said.

Thompson could save more under Metro’s program if he could afford a monthly pass.

The price depends on the distance of the train ride. According to the Metro calculator, he’d pay only $99 monthly, saving $71 over paying for individual trips. The catch is he doesn’t usually have $99 lying around.

That’s the problem with giving discounts through passes, said Ben Fried, a spokesman for TransitCenter, a New York nonprofit that studies public transportation. “It stands to reason that lower-income riders will be less likely to pay the

larger upfront cost of an unlimited pass,” he said.

David Alpert, president of Greater Greater Washington, said linking transfers to passes falls short of making all transfers free, as the civic group has called for. The group has noted that New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston and Los Angeles’ transit systems do not charge for transfers, and others, including Philadelphia and Chicago, have larger transfer discounts. Philadelphia charges $1 for transfers, a $1.50 discount from its regular $2.50 fare. Chicago charges only 25 cents for transfers.

“But,” Alpert said, “it’s a start.”

TRANSIT Despite efforts to improve bus service in D.C. to make it a more attractive option, it continues to be slow and unreliable. A report card released Wednesday gives Metrobus a grade of D — barely passing.

“Transit is really in crisis,” said Cheryl Cort, policy director at the Coalition for Smarter Growth, which co-sponsored the report along with the MetroHero commuter app. “The speed and reliability of the bus just continues to decline.”

Metrobus’ grade was pulled down by some of its best-known problems: Buses are commonly stuck in traffic gridlock, they aren’t properly spaced and they are chronically late.

The good news is the system is getting some overdue attention. New and planned dedicated bus lanes should help, and area leaders are coming together to craft a regional service plan with recommended reforms and improvements.

The study analyzed May Metrobus data from 34 routes in the District’s nine highest-ridership corridors. On average, only 60% of buses were on schedule. Similarly, the scheduled headways — the space between buses serving a bus stop — were respected only 64% of the time. More than half of the routes — 18 — got a failing grade. Five received a D; 10 got a C; and one, the A7, in the Anacostia corridor, earned a B. LUZ LAZO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SAIT SERKAN GURBUZ (AP)

LONDON Britain’s ambassador to the United States resigned Wednesday after being branded a fool and made a diplomatic nobody

by President Trump following the leak of the envoy’s unflattering opinions about the U.S. administration.

Storm clouds gathered over the trans-Atlantic relationship as veteran diplomat Kim Darroch said he could no longer do his job in Washington after Trump cut off all contact with the representative of one of America’s closest allies.

The break in relations followed a British newspaper’s publication Sunday of leaked documents that revealed the ambassador’s dim view of Trump’s administration, which Darroch described as dysfunctional, inept and chaotic.

“The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like,” Darroch said in his resignation letter. He had been due to leave his post at the end of the year.

In the leaked documents, he called the Trump administration’s policy toward Iran “incoherent,” said the president might be indebted to “dodgy Russians” and raised doubts about whether the White House “will ever look competent.”

Darroch resigns amid uproar after calling the White House inept

Ambassador Kim Darroch said he can no longer carry out his job effectively.

Prime Minister Theresa May and other British politicians praised Darroch, condemned the leak — and criticized Trump’s intemperate comments, if only implicitly. Pointedly, however, Boris Johnson, considered the front-runner to replace May as prime minister, did not defend the ambassador after Trump’s tirade.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Johnson’s rival for the post, said Wednesday it was “absolutely essential that when our diplomats do their job all over the world ... we defend them.”

Darroch’s forthright, unfiltered views on the U.S. administration — meant for a limited

audience and discreet review — appeared in the leaked documents published by Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

Darroch had served as Britain’s envoy to Washington since 2016; the leaked cables covered a period from 2017 to recent weeks.

British officials are hunting for the culprit behind the leak, which was both an embarrassment to May’s government and a major breach of diplomatic security.

It’s unclear whether May will have time to name a replacement before she leaves office later this month. DANICA KIRKA AND JILL LAWLESS (AP)

A structure built to confine radioactive dust from the nuclear reactor at the center of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster was formally unveiled Wednesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy inaugurated the “new safe confinement” shelter that spans the remains of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant’s Reactor No. 4. The enclosure took nine years to complete and cost about $2.5 billion in all. Officials have described the reactor enclosure as the largest moveable land-based structure ever built, with a span of 843 feet and a weight of over 40,000 tons. Reactor No. 4 at the plant in what was then Soviet Ukraine exploded and burned on April 26, 1986, spewing radioactive dust across Europe in the world’s worst nuclear accident. (AP)

nation+world Labor head: My office intervened so financier wouldn’t avoid jail time POLITICS Embattled Labor Secretary Alex Acosta on Wednesday defended his role in brokering a decade-old plea deal for financier Jeffrey Epstein, saying federal prosecutors staged a rare intervention in a state case to make sure Epstein served a sentence and registered as a sex offender.

“We wanted to see Epstein go to jail,” Acosta said. “He needed to go to jail.”

Acosta, in a meeting with reporters at the Labor Department, maintained that when he was U.S. attorney in Miami, his

office “proceeded appropriately” in striking a plea deal in 2008 with Epstein. Acosta declined to say whether he has any regrets about how he handled the case.

“There is a value to a short guilty plea because letting him walk — letting what the state attorney was ready to do go forward — would have been absolutely awful,” he said.

As the top federal prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida at the time, Acosta authorized a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein that has been widely criticized as excessively lenient.

Epstein signed a non-prosecution agreement with federal authorities and pleaded guilty in state court to felony solicitation of underage girls. During

Alex Acosta speaks Wednesday during a meeting with reporters at the Labor Department.

his 13-month sentence in a Palm Beach, Fla., jail, Epstein was allowed to work out of his office six days a week.

A federal judge this year ruled that prosecutors violated the rights of the victims by failing to notify them of an agreement not to bring federal charges.

President Trump pushed Acosta to hold the news conference to defend himself and is, for now, not inclined to fire the labor secretary, according to senior administration officials.

Acosta, confirmed to his Cabinet post in April 2017, has come under a fresh round of scrutiny after federal prosecutors in New York charged Epstein on Monday and alleged he had abused dozens of girls at his Manhattan and Palm Beach homes while enlisting his victims to bring him others. SEUNG

House panel to vote on subpoenas for Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions and others in Russia probe

NEW YORK A new accuser of Jeffrey Epstein said Wednesday that the wealthy financier raped her in his New York mansion when she was 15.

Jennifer Araoz filed court papers seeking information from Epstein in preparation for suing him, and she aired her allegations on NBC’s “Today” show, though she said she hasn’t discussed them with authorities. The 32-year-old makeup artist told “Today” she never went to police because she feared retribution from the well-connected Epstein.

“What hurts me even more so is that if I wasn’t afraid to come forward sooner, then maybe he wouldn’t have done it to other girls,” Araoz said. “I feel really guilty to this day.”

The new allegation comes two days after federal prosecutors in New York charged Epstein with abusing dozens of underage girls in New York and Palm Beach, Fla., in the early 2000s.

Epstein, a 66-year-old with friends in very high places, pleaded not guilty Monday to sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. He has not been charged with assaulting Araoz, but her account contradicts his defense attorneys’ contention that Epstein never used violence or coerced anyone who gave him massages.

“She was a child — a child on welfare, with no father, who was groomed, recruited and preyed upon,” said one of Araoz’s lawyers, Kimberly Lerner.

Skull called earliest sign of humans out of Africa Scientists suggest fossil found in Greece in ’70s is at least 210K years old SCIENCE Scientists say they’ve identified the earliest sign of our species outside Africa, a chunk of skull recovered from a cave in southern Greece.

It is estimated to be at least 210,000 years old, making it 16,000 or more years older than an upper jawbone from Israel that was reported last year. It shows our species began leaving Africa much earlier than previously thought, researchers reported Wednesday.

The travelers to Greece evidently left no descendants alive today. Other research has established that the exodus from Africa that led to our worldwide spread didn’t happen until more than 100,000 years later. The new work is the latest sign of earlier, dead-end exits from the continent where Homo sapiens evolved.

The fossil, from the rear of a skull, was actually found decades ago — excavated in the late 1970s from the Apidima Cave in the southern Peloponnese region of Greece and later kept in a University of Athens museum.

“Not a lot of attention was paid to it,” said Katerina Harvati of the University of Tuebingen in Germany, who was invited to study the fossil.

KATERINA HARVATI (UNIVERSITY OF TUEBINGEN VIA AP)

This image shows the partial cranium fossil, top, with a piece of rock still attached, and its digital reconstruction from a posterior view, middle, and a side view, bottom.

Harvati and others report the results of their analysis in the journal Nature. To establish the age, they analyzed bits of bone from the fossil. To identify what species it came from, the researchers compared a virtual reconstruction to the shapes of fossils from known species.

Eric Delson of Lehman College in New York, who didn’t participate in the study, said the discovery was somewhat surprising but that southeastern Europe “makes a lot of sense” for a finding that old. Now the question is what happened to these people, he said. Did Neanderthals outcompete them?

But some other scientists are not convinced the fossil’s reported age and identification are correct.

Ian Tattersall of the American Museum of Natural History in New York called the case for identifying the fossil as H. sapiens “pretty shaky.” Its shape is suggestive, but it lacks features that would make the identification firmer, he said in an email.

In response, Harvati said the back of the skull is very useful for differentiating H. sapiens from Neanderthals and other related species, and that several lines of evidence support the identification.

At a press conference, Harvati said it’s not clear whether scientists will be able to recover DNA or proteins from the fossil to confirm its identity. MALCOLM

Stocks rally as Fed signals cut to interest rates ECONOMY Chairman Jerome Powell signaled Wednesday that the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates late this month for the first time in a decade in light of a weakening global economy and rising trade tensions.

Delivering the central bank’s report to Congress, Powell said that since Fed officials met last month, “uncertainties around trade tensions and concerns about the strength of the global economy continue to weigh on the U.S. economic outlook.”

Powell’s remarks triggered a stock market rally, with the Dow Jones industrial average up nearly 100 points in latemorning trading.

Economists suggested that Powell’s message made a quarterpoint rate cut a virtual certainty at the Fed’s meeting this month, with many forecasting further rate cuts to come.

Many investors have put the odds of a rate cut this month at 100%. The Fed’s benchmark rate stands in a range of 2.25% to 2.5% after the central bank raised rates four times last year — action that incited public attacks on the Fed from President Trump.

Trump, who is counting on a strong economy for his reelection campaign, has called the Fed his biggest threat.

He contends that the central bank made a huge mistake by tightening credit last year and should be cutting rates now.

WIZARDS INTRO

FIFA pays women $4 million for winning the World Cup while men get $38 million.

It’s bigger than soccer ‘Equal pay!’ continues to be a rallying cry during U.S. women’s championship parade WORLD CUP The Canyon of Heroes parade for the United States World Cupwinning women’s soccer team, felt like a celebration of the female athlete. From the outset down at Battery Park to the ticketed ceremony at City Hall, this appreciation for female humanity felt like an American habit entrenched by now, in part because it followed upon the similar World Cup ticker-tape parade of 2015.

“They inspired us with incredible skill and flawless teamwork,” New York’s first lady, Chirlane McCray, said at the ceremony.

“And they showed us that playing like a girl is to be unbeatable.”

She closed with the day’s familiar chant, “USA! Equal pay!”

The team sealed its second consecutive tournament win by beating the Netherlands 2-0 on Sunday. It will get $4 million for winning the World Cup from

FIFA, the international soccer governing body. The men’s French team got $38 million for winning last year.

The U.S. women’s team has sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for gender and pay discrimination. The federation will give the women bonuses about five times smaller than what the men would have earned for winning the World Cup. At City Hall, Megan Rapinoe, the veteran co-captain and Golden Ball winner, took the lectern and proclaimed the team “just so bada--.” She said, “We have pink hair and purple hair.

We have tattoos and dreadlocks.

We got white girls and black girls and everything in between.

Straight girls, and gay girls!”

The City Hall audience roared.

Bill tackles unequal pay A bill introduced by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Tuesday would withhold federal funds related to hosting the 2026 World Cup until the U.S. Soccer Federation agrees to compensate its women’s and men’s teams equally. “The clear unequitable pay between the U.S. men’s and women’s soccer teams is unacceptable,” Manchin said in a statement.

Rapinoe’s hairdo for president.

A mother, Mia Rodriguez, wore a Mia Hamm jersey, an homage to a star from the breakthrough 1999 U.S. women’s team. Her 10-year-old daughter, Julissa, wore an Alex Morgan jersey.

There they were, the generations. Mia Rodriguez idolized Hamm, played high school soccer in New Jersey and competed against eventual U.S. team

member Carli Lloyd. “I played against her and didn’t know it,” Rodriguez said.

Now she feels her daughter’s world expanding. “Changed,” she said of the eras. “And it’s amazing. It’s better. Us women are kind of coming out on top here. It’s a big deal. It’s a different time. … Now, for her, it gets better and better. It gets easier and easier.”

When the head of U.S. Soccer, Carlos Cordeiro, took the lectern, he mispronounced Rapinoe’s surname. “We hear you, we believe in you, and we’re committed to doing right by you,” Cordeiro said. “… We believe that all female athletes deserve fair and equitable pay. And together I believe that we can get this done.

Because as this team has taught us, being great isn’t just how you play on the field, it’s about what you stand for off the field.”

That year, his last healthy season, the 5-foot-9 guard averaged 28.9 points and led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals. Thomas, who signed a one-year, veterans minimum deal with the Wizards on Wednesday, says he is finally back to normal.

“I’m feeling great. I’m back to feeling like my old self,” Thomas said on Tuesday. “I’ve been healthy for a while. This is the first summer in two years where I can really work on my body and work on my game.

Team boasts 4 reliable starting pitchers with no clear choice for 5th NATIONALS Two days before the All-Star break, the Nationals sent their fifth starter, Austin Voth, to Class AA Harrisburg to make room for ace Max Scherzer, returning from paternity leave.

After an impressive season debut last month, Voth struggled in his next two outings. So the move prompted a question: Will Voth come back?

“It’s definitely something that we’re talking about,” manager Dave Martinez said Saturday.

For all the strides the Nationals made to end the first

half 47-42 and atop the National League wild-card standings, the spot seems far from settled.

The Nationals have one of the best and highest-paid rotations in baseball, with Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Patrick Corbin and Aníbal Sánchez.

Yet the instability beyond the top four has been costly. Since May 27, the Nationals have won 24 games and lost 10, and five of the defeats were started by the fifth spot in the rotation.

If Martinez and the Nationals decide Voth is not the long-term solution, they’re back to square one. The original candidate for the spot, Jeremy Hellickson, was moved to the 60-day injured list last week.

Hellickson’s replacement,

Erick Fedde, looked strong in his first four starts, compiling 20 innings and a 2.70 ERA, but then command problems derailed him. The Nationals optioned him in late June to Class AAA Fresno.

Another potential successor, Kyle McGowin, allowed five runs in four innings to baseball’s second-worst offense, the Marlins.

Without a move, it appears what Martinez said after Voth’s first worrisome start will hold true as the second half starts Friday in Philadelphia.

“He’s our fifth starter, and he’s here,” Martinez said then.

“We’re going to try to get him going and keep him going.”

The Unexpected Stage Company began a decade ago with, well, an unexpected stage. Rachel Stroud-Goodrich and Christopher Goodrich were driving their restless newborn, Mayzie, through Seneca Creek State Park when they came upon a jarring sight. “There’s a little stage in the middle of the woods,” Rachel recalls. “We were really intrigued by it, so we said, ‘We should do a show here.’ ” Soon after, the couple launched their company with a production there of the play “A Phoenix Too Frequent.” Unexpected Stage has since developed into a staple of the Montgomery County theater community, putting on productions that strive to find “bits of humanity that are underrepresented,” Christopher says. Starting Thursday, the company will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a run of Samuel D. Hunter’s 1999-set drama “The Few” (River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 6301 River Road, Bethesda; through Aug. 4, $10-$29.50). On their ideal day in the D.C. area, the Damascus, Md., residents would be joined by daughters Penelope, 5, Leilah, 8, and Mayzie, who is about to turn 10 herself.

Christopher: I would wake up completely refreshed — that does not happen often since we have the three girls. It would be a fall day, the wind is blowing, there’s no humidity. Rachel and I, and Charlie Chaplin and Sharon Olds, who is a poet, would stroll down the C&O Canal in Frederick. We might have croissants in our hands, and we’re talking about poetry and art and humor and timing and love.

Rachel: I’d then head with Chris and the girls toward D.C. On the way down there, we’re definitely going to stop by Founding Farmers in Potomac.

They have so much great food, but we usually get beignets as appetizers, and oftentimes completely fill up on those.

Rachel: Then we’d go downtown to the museums. I heard that the dinosaur exhibit

is back at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and I would absolutely love to explore that.

Christopher: We would eat lunch at the Good Stuff Eatery on Capitol Hill. I would get a burger and the toasted marshmallow milkshake.

Christopher: From there, I’d go and sit on Einstein’s lap at

Christopher: Then Rachel and I would get playfully frisky with each other. That’s the dream.

Rachel: Oh lord.

Rachel: For a late afternoon meal on the way back, we’d have to stop in Rockville at Mykonos Grill, which is the best Greek restaurant. We’d get one of everything.

Christopher: The atmosphere there is amazing. You feel like you’re on Santorini island.

Rachel: As we head back into Damascus toward the end of the day, we’d all go to the Rock Hill Orchard. They have their own creamery, so we would get the wonderful homemade ice cream and wander around the orchard. We also can feed the baby cows — it’s awesome.

Christopher: After that, the whole family would gather in our backyard and we’d make s’mores. Actually, the girls would make s’mores for us as we sat. Then, after we put them to bed, the grandparents arrive and we head down to The Birchmere to see a late-night concert from Dar Williams.

If we could make the day 36 hours, we could get back home and it wouldn’t be too late, so we could get some rest and then again strive for the “waking up refreshed” idea.

Rachel: I’m onboard with that!

A Texas-size character STAGE Comb through Jayne Atkinson’s IMDb page and you would be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled upon the résumé of a uniquely qualified presidential candidate. Who else in the congested 2020 field can say they’ve served as a Homeland Security official (“24”), the secretary of state (“House of Cards”) and the vice president of the United States (“Madam Secretary”)?

So it comes as no surprise that Atkinson would gravitate to the role of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards in the play “Ann,” which begins a monthlong run at Arena Stage on Thursday.

While Richards died in 2006 at age 73, Atkinson sees the feisty feminist’s spirit alive and well in modern politics, particularly when she turns an eye to the race for the Democratic nomination for president.

“It was so interesting to me watching that second Democratic debate [last month], and how Kamala Harris came out swinging,” Atkinson says of the California senator, who confronted former Vice President Joe Biden about his record on racial issues. “That’s straight-up Ann Richards.”

“Ann” provides an intimate depiction of Richards, the glass ceiling-shattering Democrat who served as governor in deep red Texas from 1991 to 1995. Emmy winner Holland Taylor wrote and originally starred in the onewoman play, which premiered at the Kennedy Center in 2011 before a 2013 run on Broadway.

Atkinson took on the role at the WAM Theatre in Lenox, Mass., last fall before signing on for this new iteration, a co-production of Arena Stage and the Dallas Theater Center, where the show will debut in October.

“It’s an insane thing to do a

one-woman show,” Atkinson says.

“What kind of ego does a person have to have? Well, I’ll claim it, but it’s because, as [Richards] says, I know life isn’t fair. … I sort of see it as my civic duty to put myself in the line of fire onstage — which I love so much, but it’s much more up close and personal [than TV] — and have people hear her again.”

The play explores Richards’ progressive worldview while depicting her life balancing duties as a public servant and mother of four. In the midst of the #MeToo movement and a surge in female representation in Congress, Atkinson relished the idea of revisiting Richards’ legacy in a town where “everybody and their mother and brother from both sides of the aisle probably will be coming to see this show.”

“Watching a woman juggle hearth, home, government and relationships in office is a wonderful example to see right now,” Atkinson says. “The women’s movement is re-energized and bringing us back to the stage, where we should’ve been all that time ago when she was fighting.”

“I sort of see it as my civic duty to put myself in the line of fire onstage ... and have people hear her again.”

JAYNE ATKINSON, star of the play “Ann,” on keeping alive the wit and wisdom of the late Ann Richards

Although Atkinson acknowledges she isn’t perceived as a comedic actor, she jumped at the opportunity to channel Richards’ famously wry sense of humor. To help pin down Richards’ mannerisms and Texas twang, the 60-year-old actress went down a YouTube rabbit hole of interviews and speeches — most notably, the politician’s address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention that included the iconic quip, “Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did.

She just did it backwards and in high heels.”

“You get on into the Texas

accent, and you just lay it out and you say things without a smile that are really funny, which she would do all the time,” Atkinson says. “I’m a funny woman, and nobody ever gets to see that because I play all of these hard-ass be-otches — I say that with pride.”

The role already has left a lasting impression on Atkinson, who says she’s partially basing her next TV character, a lawyer in the NBC drama series “Bluff City Law,” on Richards.

While recent musical biopics “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Rocketman” aren’t exactly works one would expect to discuss alongside “Ann,” Atkinson draws parallels. Richards, in her mind, was a different breed of rock star — but one just as worthy of a retrospective.

“I think her voice is so important now for a whole new generation of people who don’t know who she was,” Atkinson says. “I love that, like Queen and Elton John, now we have Ann Richards.”

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

I’m standing in a little booth that’s wrapped in a panoramic picture of a sun-baked field, as head-level speakers blare the rapid-fire directions of a drill sergeant.

“WHAT YOU GONNA SAY I didn’t hear you open your mouth say it louder SAY IT LOUDER what you supposed to say GIVE ME GREETINGS we didn’t teach you that, right? LOCK YOUR BODY, RECRUIT!!”

I stumble out, disoriented.

“Is this what basic training is really like?” I ask a middleaged man in a U.S. Marine Corps T-shirt. “One hundred percent,” he says. “Except it’s a lot hotter,” his friend chimes in.

We are in the comfortably air-conditioned National Museum of the Marine Corps, just outside Quantico, Va. — far from the punishing heat of Parris Island, S.C., where many Marine recruits report to duty and are transformed from soft civilians into an elite fighting force. We’re also 36 miles from D.C., and I’m here to see if the museum is worth the trip.

Funded by the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, the museum delivers its message with all the subtlety of a drill sergeant: When America has difficult, dangerous and dirty work to

do, the Marines get the job done. Every conflict from the Revolutionary War to the war in Afghanistan is presented from the perspective of ground troops — which is to say, people who are immersed in the fog of war. The more objective view of historians is largely missing.

For instance, an introduction to the Korean War exhibit features a set made to look like a 1950s elementary school classroom. There are no mannequins, so you’re left to imagine the teacher, who speaks to you, and her class, via a recorded soundtrack. It becomes clear that the school is in the midst of a “duck and cover” drill, and the teacher is taking the opportunity to explain to her students why America must fight in Korea to make the world safe for democracy.

“The Cold War turned hot in the first fight between communism and freedom,” she says.

Simply restating the overheated rhetoric of a bygone era seems counter to the mission of a history museum. What I’d like to know is whether American authorities overestimated the cohesiveness of various international communist movements after World War II and responded in ways that shaped the world into the image of their own paranoia. But when I looked for wall text that might provide larger context, all I found was this simplistic

BEN CLAASSEN III (FOR EXPRESS)

Marine layer: A look at warriors that skips the core

summary: “For three bloody years the United States and its allies battled against North Korea and China. At stake was the freedom of the Republic of Korea.” The tidy narrative concludes: “The ravaged Republic of Korea survived and later flourished.”

So … we won?

This oversimplification is a disservice to future Marines.

How can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past if we don’t understand — or even acknowledge — them?

What the museum focuses on instead are the miserable conditions Marines have endured and the powerful sense of duty and camaraderie that kept them going. This is largely done through lifesize reproductions of battlefields featuring real military equipment and realistic mannequins. In the Korean War exhibit, visitors enter a chilly room and listen to a (simulated) recording of Marines trying to help a wounded (and seemingly doomed) colleague

Pro tip: Be prepared for immersive, realistic battlefield simulations.

— a vignette taken from 1950, when a group of Marines successfully defended the Toktong Pass supply route while enduring subzero temperatures.

Even more powerful is the immersive room in the Vietnam exhibit, where visitors walk through a real helicopter into a hot, humid space representing the 1968 siege of Khe Sanh.

On the soundtrack, the pinging of bullets on metal is followed by a disembodied voice that recounts the heroics of a helicopter crew member named Ernesto Gomez, who sprinted through enemy gunfire to rescue an injured Marine.

After I left the jungle, I came upon a cluster of people who, I suspect, represent the museum’s main audience: retired Marines. They were viewing one of the museum’s most

impressive artifacts: the flag raised over Iwo Jima in that famous, Pulitzer-prize winning photo by Joe Rosenthal.

“Hey Korea, is this bringing back memories?” a docent said to an elderly visitor, a Korean war veteran, who nodded in response. “I’m sorry,” the docent — another vet — replied with a chuckle.

For civilians like me, the immersive exhibits did get across the suffering and tenacity of noble Marines, but they didn’t do a good job explaining the larger context of the conflicts — practically a recipe for pacifism. I, in any case, left the Marine Corps Museum wishing the U.S. government would lean more on diplomacy than might.

“Thank you for your service,” I said to a wheelchairusing veteran on my way out.

After my visit, I meant it more than ever, and I just as sincerely hoped his sacrifice was for a worthy cause.

Animals … in person!

Animal lovers who are deprived of an animal are liable to behave erratically when one comes into sight: lunging at a neighbor’s border collie to smother it with belly rubs, or lurking by a stranger’s front door because there’s a cute cat keeping watch. Thankfully, there are plenty of spots around D.C. where farm animals, exotic animals and take-them-home-today animals are awaiting hugs and more. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Kid around at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

On any given day, a handful of the 30ish cats who reside at Crumbs & Whiskers (3211 O St. NW) luxuriate in a fluffy, pastel-colored window bed that’s appropriately royal. The bow tie-clad animals stretch periodically, their sharp eyes fixed on Georgetown passersby. They enjoy peoplewatching, and the people, presumably, enjoy watching them. Elsewhere in the District’s original cat cafe, attention-craving felines — who are all available for adoption — stalk about the airy, two-story space, eyeing potential laps. Visitors pay for an hour or so of cuddle time, or can opt for a 7½-hour pass, which is popular among students who prefer to study in the company of a feline. (Co-working is $54, or $36 for students; a 70-minute visit goes for $22, while a 15-minute drop-in costs $9.) “We’re providing all our cats with a comfortable, enriching environment that gives them exposure to potential adopters and helps get them socialized,” says store manager Jack McDaniel, pausing as a white cat with striking green eyes is delivered to him in a wicker basket. A few minutes later, McDaniel laughs as the cat smacks its tail across his face mid-sentence and then leaps to the floor, facing off with a jet-black feline named Moose.

You could do goat yoga at the 25-acre Little Goat Farm at the Lake in Prince William County (8954 Burwell Road, Nokesville, Va.), nimbly stretching in front of a serene lake. Or you could exercise your cuddle bone. There are nearly two dozen baby goats, and visitors can attend regularly scheduled snuggle sessions. “I tell people that baby goats are loosely a combination of a real baby and a puppy,” owner Susanne Marsh says. “But puppies pee and make a mess, and they bite, and you don’t get that with a goat.

They’re very innocent creatures, especially when they’re sucking on a bottle and you’re holding them in your lap.” The kids weigh anywhere from 1 to 5 pounds, and Marsh says they’re affectionate: “They find a little nook or cranny and snuggle right in, and they’ll give you little kisses — it’s very sweet.” Count on a farmer popping in, too, to ask if anyone cares to join him for his rounds around the property. Tear yourself away from the baby goats, and you’ll meet the resident chickens, alpacas and llamas — full-grown, but still endearing. There’s a reservation system on the farm’s website, and prices range from $20 to $35 depending on day, time and type of activity (such as bottle-feeding, snuggling or yoga).

weekendpass Nearly every Saturday morning in the spring and summer, a group of rescue dogs join sightseeing humans for a walk. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue’s $30, 2-mile guided tour of the Mall, which is booked through Airbnb’s “experiences” tool, provides exercise and attention to canines awaiting adoption, and the chance to walk (and pet) a dog to eager humans. “The guests are everybody — they’re people who are coming here internationally for a visit; they’re locals who just want to hang out with dogs,” says Stephany Smith, Lucky Dog’s director of development. “We’re getting repeat guests, and some want to do private bookings.” The tour guides always warn walkers that the dogs have just been pulled out of high-kill shelters, so they may be shy or unsure how to behave on a leash. “But they just love being outside, and getting love and pets from the guests walking them,” Smith says.

Bottle-feed a kangaroo at Roos2U

More than 300 rescued farm animals live at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary, a 430-acre property in western Montgomery County (15200 Mount Nebo Road, Poolesville, Md.). All were neglected, abused or abandoned, “and they get to live here for the rest of their lives,” director Terry Cummings says. Visitors go wild for Evie, a three-legged Nigerian dwarf goat who had a leg amputated after she was trampled by an emu.

Her owners planned to euthanize her, but the veterinarian overseeing her care contacted Cummings and arranged for Evie to relocate to the sanctuary, where she enjoys being held and snacking on vegan gummy bears. Another crowd favorite is Remi, a blind, 6-month-old calf who’s being housed in the sanctuary’s special-needs area. “She’s very sweet, and she loves people,” Cummings says. To visit, contact Poplar Spring about a week in advance to arrange a guided tour; there’s a recommended donation of $5 per person. If you’re eager to impress, bring fruit for the resident pigs.

Spread the love at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary

On a recent Sunday, Cassidy Jagger strapped what appeared to be an empty backpack onto a young woman’s chest, issuing several instructions: Use a secure, firm hold, but don’t squish the contents; no loud noises. The woman gasped as a fuzzy gray head suddenly shot out of the bag. Clara, an 8-month-old wallaby, wanted to say hello. Jagger owns Roos2U, an educational outreach facility in Germantown, Md., that’s home to more than 20 wallabies and red kangaroos (Roos2U’s address is provided upon booking). A variety of packages let visitors interact with the marsupials, such as the $160 “Koffee with a Kangaroo” — a 90-minute hangout during which guests can feed the animals treats and bottles of milk.

“They’re incredibly unique and amazing animals,” Jagger says.

“And intelligent and affectionate.”

A dozen Girl Scouts recently took part in the facility’s “Meet the Mob” tour ($180 per group), greeting and feeding every animal. Within 15 minutes, an adult voice could be heard over the chatter: “No, sweetie, we can’t get a kangaroo.”

FESTIVALS For black punk musicians, New York’s Afropunk is the crème de la crème of festivals, and four years ago, guitarist Von Phoenix was gunning for his shot on the big stage. Phoenix and his band, Howling Star, hosted a show in their hometown of Atlanta to garner votes for Afropunk’s Battle of the Bands. The lineup featured rock bands of color, and the competition was so wellreceived by attendees that it was evident to Phoenix: Atlanta was in dire need of its own version of Afropunk.

“Four years ago, there definitely wasn’t a lot of diversity in Atlanta’s rock scene,” says Phoenix, who is a co-founder of Punk Black, an Atlanta-based collective championing punk musicians — and other creatives — of color. “There’s still a general rock scene in Atlanta right now, but I feel like one of the main scenes for rock music in Atlanta is Punk Black.”

Phoenix and the core Punk Black team organize roughly 25 events a year, most of them concerts promoting rock acts of color. This includes a festival series that’s set to make its debut in D.C. on Saturday at The Pinch.

nation’s capital — home to some of punk’s most celebrated acts — was a no-brainer, according to Phoenix.

“D.C. has always had a really cool punk scene, and a lot of the bands that we’ve worked with that we’ve brought down to Atlanta — like Throwdown Syndicate — have told us that

we should throw a show in D.C.,” says Phoenix, who anticipates Punk Black’s D.C. festival to be an annual event.

Throwdown Syndicate is one of eight bands playing Saturday’s show at The Pinch. All of them are rooted in rock — and feature musicians of color — but each act has a distinct style.

“Even though Punk Black is growing, we try to stick to our guns of developing artists and making sure we’re about community,” Phoenix says. “That’s something I’m pretty proud of.”

Song to mosh to: “Liquify the Music”

Throwdown Syndicate’s groovy metal music sounds like a rallying cry, a protest to denounce government corruption and society’s ills. The D.C. band’s songs, such as the hard-driving “King of K.I.N.G.S.,” unabashedly call out these abuses of power and serve as a call to action for listeners.

Eat the Cake Band packs a whole lot of soul into its musical stylings.

The members of this all-female act out of Baltimore know how to rock, but they switch things up a bit by adding buoyant raps and melodic hooks to the mix. Listen to “Liquify the Music” and you’ll see how they achieve this feat effortlessly.

Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park — in the late ’90s and early 2000s, practically every third song you heard on the radio was by one of those bands. And you can hear their influence on rap-metal outfit Eight Inner Gates. The Newport News, Va.based band’s cathartic doom metal and nimble rhymes shine on “Break Bonds,” from its eponymous 2017 EP.

Can ‘Love Island’ stay afloat?

TELEVISION Adele has paused her concerts to talk about it. Three members of Parliament have admitted to binge-watching it. Singers Ricky Martin, Liam Gallagher and Stormzy regularly tweet about it.

This common obsession is “Love Island.” The series, originally known as “Celebrity Love Island” when it aired in the mid2000s, was rebooted a few years ago and has since captured the hearts of fans in Britain and globally. On the surface, it’s just another reality dating show, bringing male and female contestants known as “Islanders” into a tropical villa to couple up.

But “Love Island,” which debuted its U.S. edition this week on CBS, is more extreme and interactive than your average reality TV show. The premise is supposedly about finding love, but much of the show is based on humiliating the Islanders for our entertainment. Will the series, which has been dogged with controversy in Britain, become a favorite in the United States as well?

The current season of “Love Island” is averaging 4.2 million TV viewers in Britain, according to ITV, the network airing the show, with an additional 1.4 million viewers watching on non-TV devices. That means more than 8% of the country is watching.

Clothing is optional on the U.S. version of “Love Island,” much like the British show it’s based on.

‘Men in Black’ actor Rip Torn dies at age 88

CBS

The wildly popular but controversial U.K. show has moved stateside

“It is extremely easy and entertaining watching,” says Edward Morris, a fan from London who has watched every season.

“It is an escapism from what is a pretty depressing time: Brexit, austerity, Trump, to name a few.”

But “Love Island” has a dark side. Two former Islanders, Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon, committed suicide after appearing on the show. ITV now mandates that Islanders attend at least eight therapy sessions after filming and provides “proactive” post-show contact with the Islanders for at least 14 months.

Chloe Crowhurst, who was cast on “Love Island” at 22, says she lost sight of herself in the aftermath, which can involve a lot of alcohol-driven nights out making

“Reality shows have become very regimented. …

‘Love Island’ really blows that apart.”

DAVID EILENBERG, executive producer of the U.S. version of “Love Island,” which airs on CBS

public appearances.

“It got to this point where I was thinking, ‘This isn’t even me.

What am I actually doing, going out five nights a week and partying? This is not fun. This is not what life’s meant to be about,’ ” says Crowhurst, who’s now 24.

On the surface, there are a lot

of reasons the show has been successful. The compressed, reallife format is part of its appeal.

“Love Island” airs five nights a week, with each episode airing only a day after it’s filmed, so there’s a sense of immediacy.

The stakes feel higher because viewers know the footage hasn’t been sitting around in a studio’s editing bay for months. Similarly, the U.S. version is set to air five nights per week for five weeks.

“Reality shows have become very regimented, and therefore the experience of certain shows has become very predictable,” says David Eilenberg, an executive producer on the CBS series. “ ‘Love Island’ really blows that apart.”

Beyoncé gives the world what it wants

Beyoncé dropped a new song from Disney’s live-action remake of “The Lion King” on Tuesday. Titled “Spirit,” Beyoncé’s character, Nala, performs the song in the film. The pop star also co-wrote the song. The track is part of a Beyoncé-produced album called “The Lion King: The Gift” that will be released July 19 — the same day the movie hits theaters — as a companion to the main “Lion King” soundtrack. (AP)

Lisa Vanderpump leaving “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”

Nicole Kidman to produce series “Crime Farm” for HBO Max

1931-2019 Rip Torn, the free-spirited Texan who overcame his quirky name to become a distinguished actor in television, theater and movies, such as “Men in Black,” has died. He was 88.

Torn died Tuesday afternoon at his home with his wife, Amy Wright, and daughters Katie Torn and Angelica Page by his side, according to his publicist.

No cause of death was given.

His work on stage and screen spanned seven decades, ranging from an early career of dark roles to iconic comedic performances later in life.

After acclaimed appearances in “Cross Creek,” “Sweet Bird of Youth” and other dramas, Torn turned to comedy to capture an Emmy as a bombastic, ethically challenged television producer in “The Larry Sanders Show.”

Torn also played Agent Zed in the first two “Men in Black,” movies.

Born Elmore Rual Torn, the actor adopted the name Rip in his boyhood, following the tradition of his father and uncle.

It was the subject of endless ridicule during his early days as a stage actor in New York.

He refused to change it, eventually overcoming the jokes with a series of powerful performances that led to his being regarded, along with Marlon Brando, Paul Newman and James Dean, as actors of a postwar generation who brought tense realism to their craft. BOB THOMAS (AP)

@MADISON_JOURDAN, discussing a Tuesday post from the social media account Humans of New York. An unidentified man from Montreal claimed to photographer Brandon Stanton that a few years ago, he’d “set a guy on fire.” Disturbed readers urged Stanton to remove the post; others alerted the Montreal police, who said they had no record of such a crime.

“It’s like my best friends are changing schools.” @MRBOBBYBONES, reacting to the news Tuesday that the hit ’90s comedy “Friends” would be leaving Netflix in 2020. The news comes just a few weeks after the streaming service revealed it had lost the rights to “The Office,” another beloved comedy staple. “Friends” will move to HBO Max, the streaming service for WarnerMedia. Though many fans were dismayed, others hoped the loss would encourage Netflix to focus on original content.

President Trump’s golf resort in Doral, Fla., being the site of a golf tournament hosted by strip club Shadow Cabaret. Though Trump himself isn’t involved with the event, many were taken aback by the description promising participants will have their own “caddy girl.”

@TEAMUPCARDIFF, tweeting about “Breaking Bad” stars Aaron Paul, left, and Bryan Cranston’s new mezcal brand, Dos Hombres. The pair had been teasing the collaboration since June, though their cryptic Instagram posts of donkeys walking through the desert had fans thinking a “Breaking Bad” movie was imminent. Instead, fans can cop a bottle of the alcoholic beverage for $58.

“I went out and bought a JUUL just now, entirely because of this tweet.” @LAKEELYSIA, joking about Rep. Joyce Beatty’s promotional tweet for My Life My Quit, a service to help teens quit vaping. The Ohio Democrat penned a tweet that said vaping isn’t “fleek or fire” and teens didn’t need to smoke “fat clouds to be radical.” The onslaught of slang and hefty emoji use had many calling the tweet “embarrassing.”

DIFFICULT

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may be acting in a seemingly random fashion as far as other people are concerned, but there’s nothing “random” going on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A smile and a laugh, delivered at the right time, can work wonders today. There’s no reason to take yourself too seriously.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may make a few unforced errors today, but, in the end, you’ll be recognized for good work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may have to arrange and rearrange things many times today as you work out the kinks in a schedule.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Like your Libra neighbor, you’re going to have to make the best of a situation that is not of your making.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will find yourself doing things that impress others, though that is by no means your intention. You’ll take it when it happens, however.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’re going to set the tone today for many who come after you. Take care that you’re not so idiosyncratic that you cannot be imitated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Don’t shy away from the bigger issues that others are wanting to discuss today.

You will want to get them behind you if you can, too.

Forecast

By Capital Weather Gang

POOCH CAFE | PAUL GILLIGAN

87 | 74 TODAY: We’ll revert to partly cloudy and very humid conditions.

Highs will reach the upper-80s to near 90 again but feel more like the mid-90s with the humidity. A cold front will move in, with a good chance of showers and storms late afternoon into evening. Strong to severe storms may continue to move through during the evening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) It’s

a good day to take care of business in the usual way — at least for a while. You may come to a point that demands some improvisation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll get some good news from someone you had your doubts about — and before the day is out, you’ll come to realize you had been entirely wrong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t

make the mistake of putting on the back burner something that has been crying out for your attention for some time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can accomplish more than has been assigned to you today — but only if someone close to you has your back, for there is some danger involved.

The Spanish singer and father of Enrique Iglesias refused to have a DNA test. The man, Javier Sánchez, says his mother gave birth to him in 1975 exactly nine months after she met Julio Iglesias at a party. (AP)

It’s squats.’ The whole game is everyone’s getting surgery,” he said. Pratt’s wife, Heidi Montag, once detailed getting 10 plastic surgery procedures for a People cover story in 2010. (EXPRESS)

Chris Hemsworth confessed in an interview with GQ published Wednesday that he once used his wife’s $400 luxury La Mer face lotion all over his body. “My shoulders were sunburnt one time and I lathered up my shoulders with some La Mer products, not realizing how expensive they were,” the actor said. “[My wife] wasn’t really that impressed.

It smells so delicious, I wanted to eat it.”
