Owners of shuttered LGBTQ nightclub plan to reopen in a church NIGHTLIFE When gay nightclub Town Danceboutique shuttered its doors last summer, its patrons packed in for one last sweaty, nostalgic dance party, mourning the closing as the loss of a mainstay for D.C.’s LGBTQ community.

Now, the owners are planning a resurrection for the beloved club: “Town2.0.” Its potential new home? A former Baptist church.

Social media speculated Tuesday after the Twitter account Eat DC noted the former nightclub’s owners had applied for a liquor license to open “Town2.0, LLC”

in a former church at 1001 North Capitol St. NE. Late Tuesday night, the former owners of Town Danceboutique confirmed the news on Twitter: “It’s true.

“After two full years of searching for a potential new space for a nightclub for the LGBTQ community, we are excited to confirm that we have found a space that has remarkable potential,” the statement from the nightclub read. “[A]nd while it is no small undertaking, we look forward to creating a brand new, dynamic nightlife experience for DC.” The church on North Capitol Street NE had been the home of St. Phillips Baptist Church since 1948, according to the church’s website. It sold the

church building in 2017 and has relocated to Temple Hills, Md. In its liquor license application with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration, Town’s owners requested occupancy for 524 people, with 125 seats outside and hours of operation from noon to 4 a.m.

Sunday through Thursday and until 5 a.m. on weekend nights.

After it first opened off U Street in 2007, Town became the largest entertainment venue in D.C. catering to the LGBTQ community. It ushered in an era of flourishing gay nightlife and gentrification in the neighborhood. The building was sold to a developer of upscale apartments. SAMANTHA SCHMIDT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Agency move may be illegal WASHINGTON A federal watchdog challenged the Trump administration’s authority to move two USDA science agencies out of Washington, in a report issued a few days after Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, praised the move for encouraging federal scientists to quit their jobs.

The plan to relocate the two agencies from the District to Kansas City may have run afoul of the 2018 appropriations act, according to a report released Monday from the USDA’s Office of Inspector General.

In August 2018, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue unveiled a plan to relocate the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Economic Research Service. Both agencies lease office space in the District.

USDA selected the Kansas City region as the new home for these agencies in June. About two-thirds of nearly 400 employees refused the reassignment and will lose their jobs.

In a speech Friday, Mulvaney seemed to celebrate the attrition. “It’s nearly impossible to fire a federal worker,” Mulvaney said. “I know that because a lot of them work for me, and I’ve tried. . . . By simply saying to people, ‘You know what, we’re

Relocation hits snag The landlord of one of the U.S. Department of Agriculture agencies set for relocation to Kansas City filed a formal protest of the move last month, according to a Washington Business Journal report. The landlord says it meets the government’s standards for a new office except for not being outside D.C., the Journal reported. The landlord wants to keep the agency in its building, according to the report. (EXPRESS)

parts of the agencies’ research that the administration views as inconvenient,” he said in a statement.

Congress questioned whether USDA has the legal authority to move the agencies. The department has this power, according to the inspector general’s investigation. But USDA also needs budgetary approval from Congress to fund the moves, the watchdog group said.

In the fall, USDA awarded a $340,000 contract to the accounting firm Ernst & Young to assist with the relocation. The 2018 omnibus spending bill required USDA to receive congressional approval before spending this money. “That prior approval did not appear to have been granted,” the inspector general report says.

Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., who requested the inspector general’s investigation in September 2018, exhorted USDA to follow the law. “The Secretary must follow the will of Congress and refrain from moving forward with the relocation,” they said in a joint statement Monday, “until Congress approves the use of funds for those purposes as directed by the fiscal year 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act.” In the report, the inspector general’s office advised USDA to seek approval from a congressional committee. USDA management refused to do so.

USA Today employees and others were evacuated amid fears of a shooting.

Gannett evacuated after a gun scare Police say report of an armed man was false, but praise response MCLEAN, VA. Employees at a building that houses Gannett headquarters in McLean were evacuated Wednesday after a report that a former employee showed up to the building with a handgun, police said.

After three hours, the building was cleared. Authorities said there was no evidence a crime occurred. “I’m very grateful to report this was a non-event,” Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said during a news conference.

Police responded about noon to a 911 call from inside the building reporting a former employee with a weapon at the building, home to USA Today and other businesses, at 7950 Jones Branch Drive in McLean outside Washington, Roessler said. The building was evacuated and a SWAT team was called.

Roessler said officers found a person of interest in another part of Fairfax County, but there was no indication the person committed a crime or was in the building at the time of the 911 call. Police did not release other information

about the person.

Roessler did not identify the company where the former employee might have worked.

He also said it was not a prank that involves calling police to respond to a fake emergency.

Roads around the building were closed for hours. Evacuated employees stood by the sides of roads checking their phones for updates. Alarms sounded inside the building as officers with rifles and armor patrolled.

Lucas Looney, an employee of Vision Point Systems, said the public address system began blaring around 12:20 p.m. with reports to leave the building.

Police set up a reunification center at the nearby McLean Hilton. Hundreds of employees were evacuated to the hotel, which opened its ballrooms and set up a snack table and giant screen to livestream news.

Roessler praised employees who responded appropriately as people around the country are “training themselves” in the wake of violent events.

“We need to look at this as a positive event,” he said. “Everybody in that building did the right thing.” JUSTIN JOUVENAL, LAUREL DEMKOVICH AND JUSTIN WM. MOYER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Studies seek answers on pot use in pregnancy HEALTH Pregnancy started out rough for Leslie Siu. Morning sickness and migraines had her reeling and barely able to function at a demanding New York marketing job, so like rising numbers of U.S. mothers-to-be, she turned to marijuana.

“I was finally able to get out from under my work desk,” said Siu, who later started her own pot company and says her daughter, now 4, is thriving.

There’s no proof that cannabis can relieve morning sickness, and mainstream medicine advises against its use in pregnancy because of studies suggesting it might cause premature birth, low birth weight and infant brain deficits. But the National Institute on Drug Abuse is pressing for more solid evidence. Many of those studies were in animals or complicated by marijuana users’

other habits and lifestyles.

With nearly $200,000 from the agency, University of Washington scientists in Seattle are seeking clearer answers in a new study investigating potential effects on infants’ brains. The agency is also providing funds to support two similar studies in other states.

In Seattle, they’re enrolling pregnant women during their first trimester who are already using marijuana for morning sickness. The use of other drugs, tobacco and alcohol isn’t allowed.

The research takes advantage of a booming trend. Recent data show the number of pregnant U.S. pot users has doubled since 2002, with 7% of pregnant women reporting recent use.

Study opponents contend that researchers are recruiting marijuana addicts, that paying participants encourages them to keep

Research into the rising trend draws critics worried about birth defects

using, that women aren’t being adequately informed of risks, and that babies will be harmed by being tested. Opponents also note that the federal government still considers pot an illegal drug.

“We should be encouraging women who are pregnant to not use marijuana instead of incentivizing them to continue,” said Pat Marmion, an OB-GYN in southern Washington state.

The criticism underscores the challenges of investigating how drugs of any kind affect pregnant women and their offspring.

“One of the big arguments about why this is unethical is that we already know the answers.

That is not true,” said Susan Weiss, who oversees outside research for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “We’re living in this very large social experiment and we need to learn from it.”

The new paint job appeared after neighbors reported the home was being used for short-term rentals and the homeowner was fined $4,000. Owner Kathryn Kidd told KABCTV she didn’t realize short-term rentals weren’t allowed, and she denies the redecoration is retaliation. (AP)

House Judiciary sues to force former White House counsel McGahn to testify

Police: Man assaulted boy over anthem SUPERIOR, MONT. A man is facing an assault charge after Montana authorities say he threw a 13-year-old boy to the ground at a rodeo because the teenager didn’t remove his hat when the national anthem was played.

The boy was taken to a hospital in Spokane, Wash., but details about his condition were not released. Court documents filed

by Mineral County Attorney Ellen Donohue said the boy was flown to the hospital for a possible concussion and fractured skull.

Curt James Brockway, 39, told a sheriff’s deputy that he asked the boy to remove his hat out of respect for the national anthem playing before the start of the county rodeo on Saturday, Donohue wrote in the document describing the alleged attack.

The boy cursed at Brockway in response, and the man grabbed him by the throat, “lifted him into the air and slammed the boy into the ground,” Donohue wrote.

A witness, Taylor Hennick, told the Missoulian she was at the rodeo on Saturday when she heard a “pop” and saw the boy on the ground, bleeding from his ears. The assailant justified his actions by saying the boy “was disrespecting the national anthem so he had every right to do that,” Hennick said.

Brockway, of Superior, Mont., made an initial court appearance Monday on a charge of assault on a minor. Prosecutors recommended his bail be set at $100,000. (AP)

Puerto Rico Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez has been sworn in as the island’s new governor, culminating weeks of political turmoil.

Vázquez took the oath of office early Wednesday evening at the Puerto Rican Supreme Court, which earlier in the day ruled that Pedro Pierluisi’s swearing-in last week was unconstitutional. The day’s events settle at least the dispute over who will lead the U.S. territory after its political establishment was knocked off balance by large protests.

The bombing during morning rush hour was one of the worst attacks in Kabul this year, and it again raised fears among Afghans about what will happen once the estimated 20,000 U.S. and NATO troops in their country go home.

Dayton, Ohio

El Paso, Texas

Grieving cities greet Trump POLITICS Aiming to play the traditional role of healer during national tragedy, President Trump paid visits Wednesday to two cities reeling from mass shootings that left 31 dead and dozens more wounded. But his divisive words preceded him, large protests greeted him and biting political attacks soon followed.

The president and first lady Melania Trump flew to El Paso late in the day after visiting the Dayton hospital where many of the victims of Sunday’s attack in that city were treated. The president was kept out of view of the reporters traveling with him, but White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said the couple met with hospital staff and first responders and spent time with wounded survivors and their families.

“Everybody received him very warmly. Everybody was very, very excited to see him,” she said.

But outside Miami Valley Hospital, in Dayton, at least 200 protesters gathered, blaming Trump’s incendiary rhetoric for inflaming political and racial tensions in the country and demanding action on gun control. There

were Trump supporters, as well.

Emotions are still raw in the aftermath of the early Sunday morning shooting rampage that left 10 dead, including the gunman, in the city’s popular Oregon entertainment district. Critics contend Trump’s own words have contributed to a combustible climate that has spawned violence in cities including El Paso, where another shooter killed 22 people over the weekend.

And the vitriol continued Wednesday. Trump spent part of his flight between Ohio and Texas airing his grievances on Twitter, berating Democratic lawmakers, a potential 2020 rival and the press.

“Watching Sleepy Joe Biden making a speech. Sooo Boring!” Trump tweeted. “The LameStream Media will die in the ratings and clicks with this guy.”

It was a remarkable splitscreen appearance for TV viewers, with White House images of handshakes and selfies juxtaposed with angry tweets.

Trump and the White House have forcefully disputed the idea that he bears some responsibility for the nation’s divisions. And

In between his protested visits to El Paso and Dayton, the president unleashes on his critics on Twitter

President Trump visits the El Paso Regional Communications center on Wednesday after meeting with people affected by the mass shooting.

Trump continued to do so as he left for the trip on Wednesday.

“My critics are political people,” Trump said, noting the apparent political leanings of the shooter in the Dayton killings.

He also claimed that he “brings people together.”

Some 85% of U.S. adults believe the tone and nature of political debate has become more negative, with a majority saying Trump has changed things for the worse, according to recent Pew Research Center polling.

In Dayton, raw anger and pain were on display as protesters

Texas Gov. Abbott said he’s not aware of any “red flags” in suspected El Paso gunman’s past

chanted “Ban those guns” and “Do something!” during Trump’s visit.

Holding a sign that said “Not Welcome Here,” Lynnell Graham said she thinks Trump’s response to the shootings has been insincere. “To me he comes off as fake,” she said.

Ohio Democratic lawmakers Sen. Sherrod Brown and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley, who’d expressed concern about the visit, said Trump had nonetheless hit the right notes Wednesday.

“I think the victims and the first responders were grateful

that the president ... came to Dayton,” Whaley said.

But afterward, the president tweeted that the press conference from Brown and Whaley was a “fraud,” accusing them of misrepresenting what took place.

In El Paso, where more protests awaited, Rep. Veronica Escobar, the Democratic congresswoman who represents the city, declined to meet with Trump. “I refuse to be a prop,” she said in an interview on CNN. Yet Raul Melendez, whose father-in-law, David Johnson, was killed in Saturday’s shooting, said the most appropriate thing Trump could do was to meet with relatives of the victims.

“It shows that he actually cares, if he talks to individual families,” said Melendez, who credits Johnson with helping his 9-year-old daughter survive the attack. Melendez, an Army veteran and the son of Mexican immigrants, said he holds only the shooter responsible for the attack.

“That person had the intent to hurt people, he already had it,” he said. “No one’s words would have triggered that.” ZEKE MILLER AND JILL COLVIN (AP)

GOP Senate in no rush to act POLITICS Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is resisting pressure to bring senators back from recess to address gun violence, despite wrenching calls to “do something” in the aftermath of back-to-back mass shootings.

Instead, the Republican leader is taking a more measured approach, as GOP senators are talking frequently among themselves, and with the White House, in the face of mounting criticism that Congress is failing to act.

President Trump is privately calling up senators — and he publicly said Wednesday that there’s “great appetite” for background checks legislation for firearms purchases — but McConnell knows those ideas have little Republican support.

In fact, the White House threatened to veto a Housepassed background checks bill earlier this year. Yet, as the nation reels from the frequency of shootings and their grave toll, McConnell’s unwillingness to confront the gun lobby or move more swiftly is coming under scrutiny.

“I can only do what I can do,” the president told reporters as he departed Washington for visits to Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, where 31 people were killed in two mass shootings over the weekend.

On Wednesday, Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown made a personal plea to Trump during his visit to “call on Sen. McConnell to bring the Senate back in session this week, to tell the Senate he wants the background checks bill that has already passed the House.”

House Democrats signed onto a letter urging McConnell to act immediately on the Housepassed legislation, which would require federal background checks for all firearms sales and transfers, including online and at gun shows. In Kentucky, where McConnell is recuperating from a weekend fall that left his shoulder fractured, activists have been demonstrating at his home and protesting at his downtown Louisville office.

“House Democrats are moving prayerfully and purposefully to advance action,” wrote Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a letter Wednesday to Democratic colleagues.

The Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jerry Nadler, DN.Y., may take action during the recess on so-called “red flag” legislation to allow removal of guns from those deemed a threat to themselves or others.

But none of it has moved the Republican Senate to act more urgently. McConnell’s office is declining comment, referring back to a short statement he issued late Monday saying he was tasking three GOP committee chairmen “to engage in bipartisan discussions of potential solutions.”

A ‘GUN SOCIETY’

Countries issue travel warnings to U.S. Uruguay and Venezuela have discouraged their citizens from traveling to the U.S., citing last weekend’s shootings as indicators of danger and a rise in hate crimes. The Japanese Consulate in Detroit released a statement Sunday calling the U.S. a “gun society” and urging Japanese nationals to stay alert. While some warnings have been politically motivated responses to the U.S. declaring other countries dangerous, in recent years Germany, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand have issued similar alerts about travel to the U.S. (TWP) U.S. immigration officials raid Miss. food processing plants, arresting 680 in largest workplace sting in a decade

Trump to meet with tech firms on ‘extremism’ TECHNOLOGY The White House will host top tech companies Friday to discuss the rise of violent online extremism, marking the Trump administration’s first major engagement on the issue days after a mass shooting in Texas left 22 people dead.

The gathering will include “senior administration officials along with representatives of a range of companies,” said White House spokesman Judd Deere in a statement. He did not name which companies would attend.

The White House effort follows an attack in El Paso that was announced on the anonymous message board 8chan in a manifesto decrying the “Hispanic invasion of Texas.” It was the third mass shooting this year that began with the posting of a gunman’s hateful screed on the site, which is currently offline following moves by two internet-services firms.

In response, Trump on Monday took aim at social media broadly, tasking the Justice Department to “work in partnership with local state and federal agencies, as well as social media companies, to develop tools that can detect mass shooters before they strike,” he said in a speech.

On Wednesday, Trump pledged to “do something about” online hate, but he maintained that his own rhetoric — including attacks on his political foes, immigrants and other groups — played no role in coarsening conversation online and spawning violence. CLAIRE PARKER (TWP)

Pakistan-India ties falter over Kashmir

your

ISLAMABAD The political crisis over the disputed territory of Kashmir escalated Wednesday when Pakistan said it would downgrade its diplomatic ties with India, expel the Indian ambassador and suspend bilateral trade with its rival.

I nd ia n authorities have clamped a complete shutdown on Muslim-majority Kashmir as the Hindu-led nationalist government in New Delhi scrapped the region’s statehood and special status, including the right to its own constitution.

As the security lockdown by Indian troops continued in Kashmir for a third day, hundreds of migrant workers began the long trek back to their villages in northern and eastern India.

The Kashmir region is divided between India and Pakistan, and is claimed by both. The two nuclear-armed neighbors have fought three wars, two of them over control of the mountainous region, since they won independence from the British in 1947.

people there oppose Indian rule.

The Indian government has shut off most communications, including internet, cellphone and landline networks, with Kashmir.

Thousands of additional troops were sent to the already heavily militarized region out of fear the government’s steps could spark unrest.

In response to India’s action, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told parliament that it will expel the Indian ambassador, and the Foreign Ministry later said India has been informed to withdraw the envoy.

The decision came at a meeting of Pakistan’s National Security Committee. MUNIR AHMED (AP)

Player blasts Ross’ role in Trump event

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Redskins facing first test The Redskins’ long-shot plan for making the playoffs this season is to rely on a much-improved defense to dominate.

Well, everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth, and the Browns’ offense will throw the first haymaker in the preseason opener tonight (NBC/NBCSW, 7:30). Let’s see if the Redskins can stop Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, running back Nick Chubb and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., while also figuring out how to handle

WASHINGTON POST AND AP PHOTOS

offensive question marks at quarterback and the left side of the offensive line. Here are five positions to watch:

Quarterbacks

Kicker

Slot cornerback

Left side OL

Special teams

Coach Jay Gruden plans to use three quarterbacks against the Browns, but Colt McCoy won’t be one of them as he’ll wait another week to play. McCoy, who is still rounding into shape after breaking his leg last season, left practice early on Monday for treatment.

Tonight, Gruden will mostly be looking for knowledge of the playbook and ball security. The game plan won’t be much like it will be for Week 1. Case Keenum, above, is still learning the system, and rookie Dwayne Haskins needs to get past NFL debut jitters. Fourthstringer Josh Woodrum will get some snaps, too.

Expect mostly handoffs and safe passes in a vanilla offense.

Dustin Hopkins, above, suffered a serious case of the doinks in training camp, once hitting the left and right uprights on consecutive kicks. But Hopkins also showed that strong leg we’ve seen over the past four years, often hitting 45- to 55-yard field goals. Hopkins is entering his fifth season, about the expiration date for Redskins kickers.

Predecessors Kai Forbath, Graham Gano and Shaun Suisham each lasted four seasons or less. Coach Norv Turner couldn’t cut Chip Lohmiller quick enough before the 1995 camp after seven seasons.

Translation: Kickers can be released suddenly without warning, so keep an eye on Hopkins.

The most exciting player in training camp is Jimmy Moreland, above.

The seventh-rounder out of JMU has been a ballhawk throughout camp and gained enough confidence to order others not to sub for him in a drill. Really, a seventh-rounder taking control? When you make plays every practice, you earn respect. Moreland may be the biggest surprise since undrafted free agent James Thrash scored on two kickoff returns in 1997 to launch a 12-year career. But let’s see what Moreland does in a real game. He jumps routes well so don’t be surprised to see him press veteran Fabian Moreau for time.

Trent Williams’ holdout aside, the Redskins are seeking the right combination of left tackle and guard. Aging veteran Donald Penn, above, seems to have the edge over Geron Christian at tackle, but the latter can earn the job with a big preseason. The same is true at guard, where rookie Wes Martin will try to unseat veteran Ereck Flowers, who has looked much better since moving over from tackle. Flowers showed surprising agility at guard during drills.

Still, the Redskins will be reluctant to pair Christian and Martin since they have a combined two games of experience.

Look for one veteran and one newbie to start.

The Redskins have never effectively replaced Brian Mitchell after his 2000 exit. And they may not do so this season either, because the best punt returner is probably Trey Quinn. However, the Redskins shouldn’t risk Quinn on special teams because he’s too valuable at slot receiver. Besides, plenty of receivers and defensive backs can return punts. Greg Stroman, above, is the top candidate, but he’s dinged up. Byron Marshall is more of a kick returner as the Redskins search for that, too. Overall, the team’s late-round picks will have special teams as their primary jobs as they try to find roles on offense or defense.

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick says in Instagram video he’s “still ready” for NFL return

Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, below right, is set to host President Trump supporters Friday in a Southampton, N.Y., mansion, where the price of admission ranges from $5,600 to $250,000. That caught the eye of Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills, below left, a vocal critic of the Trump administration who has protested during the national anthem to raise awareness of police brutality. Stills on Wednesday tweeted a photo of the mission statement for the nonprofit Ross Initiative for Sports Equality, questioning how the franchise owner could be committed both to eliminating racial discrimination and championing social justice reforms, as the group’s statement proclaims, and to be supporting Trump.

Transfers bring winning cultures

2019–2020 Season

Tickets on sale now!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Most seniors on Maryland’s football team have won just 15 games total over the past three years. They have been on a postseason team only once, a six-win campaign in 2016 that ended with a loss in the Quick Lane Bowl.

Then consider the Terrapins’ outside linebacker duo of Clemson transfer Shaq Smith and Ohio State transfer Keandre Jones. Neither has been part of a season with fewer than 11 wins. Smith went to the College Football Playoff all three years he was with the Tigers, and the team won the national title twice. Jones’ three seasons with the Buckeyes included a playoff appearance his freshman year and two Big Ten championships.

They joined a Maryland program that has not won more than seven games in a season since 2010. Coach Michael Locksley, fresh off three years at perennial title contender Alabama, has bolstered his 2019 squad by adding transfers such as these two. Even though Smith and Jones never had starting roles at their previous schools, Locksley

New head coach hopes players from elite teams can invigorate Maryland

Linebackers Keandre Jones, top, from Ohio State, and Shaq Smith, from Clemson, bring elite winning traditions with them to Maryland.

believes they will elevate his team because they have been around programs that win.

“Most definitely that is a real thing: a winning culture and a winning program,” Smith said.

In addition to Smith and Jones, Locksley added former Virginia Tech quarterback Josh Jackson, the favorite to win the starting job this season despite not practicing with the team in an official capacity until last week.

Sean Savoy, another Hokie transfer, will play as a slot receiver, and Tyler Mabry from Buffalo has joined the tight ends. All five are eligible to play this season.

Melt over the possibilities It’s nearly impossible to resist the allure of fried cheese on a bar menu, especially once you’ve had a drink or two. And not to knock the simple pleasure of a breaded mozzarella stick, but you can find more creative options than that. At these four D.C. restaurants, melted cheese is transformed into fritters, toast and more. ADELE CHAPIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Tequeños at Arepa Zone $7-$14; 1121 14th St. NW; Union Market, 1309 Fifth St. NE

Venezuela’s version of a cheese stick is a thing of beauty at Arepa Zone.

The fried bundles called tequeños consist of crispy dough encircling five stretchy, melty cheeses. Dunk them in the accompanying garliccilantro dipping sauce. Arepa Zone serves up five of these crispy snacks for $7 or a bucket of 20 bite-size tequeño “pops” for $14.

Everything you love about pasta carbonara — including the pecorino cheese — is reduced down to two bites at Officina. The three-level Italian culinary wonderland at The Wharf serves bucatini carbonara fritters in its lower-level cafe. Slide in during happy hour for a drink deal and complimentary snacks to go along with your fried carbonara.

At Indian eatery Bindaas, melted white cheddar is studded with snips of pepper and draped over toast for this offering on the Foggy Bottom location’s “Cutting Chai” happy hour menu (available Sundays through Fridays, 3-6 p.m. in the dining room and 3-7 p.m. at the bar). The fiery take on grilled cheese comes paired with gunpowder fries.

The fried mozzarella at this Italian American restaurant’s Navy Yard location definitely doesn’t skimp on the cheese. This is a huge, triangular hunk of mozzarella. There’s pecorino Romano and marinara sauce as an accent, but it’s really all about that golden fried crunch and the gooey, steaming hot cheese that pours out.

They have posters from Italian towns they’ve visited and a poster of Steve Tyler, too, from when he visited the restaurant.

Another thing I’d do is go to the E Street Cinema and see one of their more niche films. I like that they have more of the documentaries, and the artier things that don’t play in your usual AMC. I might go shopping at South Moon Under. It’s where I get a lot of my clothes. It’s got the kind of boho-type ’70s stuff that I find really cool.

Maybe after The Cellar Door, I’d play a Sofar Sounds show. They put shows in alternative venues and you don’t find out where you’re going to go until that day, so it’s exciting and mysterious. It’s a good way to find out about cool spots in D.C. I’ve played shows for them on rooftops, workspaces and weird art spaces.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

D.C. is now home to a water bar — a drinking establishment that serves water instead of alcohol. This concept seems to have originated in parts of California that have high concentrations of people with too much money and not enough resistance to flaky wellness claims. Clearly, I approach the subject with some East Coast skepticism, but I did my best to have an open mind when I visited Water Bar DC (2822 Georgia Ave. NW) last week.

Actually, I visited Water Bar DC four times over the past four weeks, but I managed to get in only twice. On my first visit, a few weeks after Groupon and Eventbrite listings for the place started popping up, no one answered the locked door. My knocking eventually attracted the attention of an employee of the adjacent business — The History of Cannabis Museum — who said Water Bar DC’s opening had been delayed, and suggested I come back in a week.

When I returned two weeks later — last Tuesday — it felt like I was trying to engage in behavior far more illicit than hydration. Call me a yuppie, but I was getting a sketchy vibe from the establishment’s sagging porch and blacked-out glass door. So I was surprised

when a friendly, sharply dressed woman emerged and introduced herself as Kim, the general manager. In her hands were two jars of water.

“I know we’re supposed to be open but we’re having trouble getting staffed up,” she said, handing me the water. “So here are some free samples.”

Kim instructed me to refrigerate the water overnight so that the floating ingredients — cucumber and mint in one, apples and cinnamon in the other — could infuse the water with flavor.

“How’d you like them?” Kim asked when I darkened her doorstep the next day.

“They were delicious,” I said, and I wasn’t just being polite.

The mint-cucumber water had a lovely lime tang, and the applecinnamon water had an interesting, complex flavor, perhaps due to the surprising addition of tarragon. “But I’m not sure they are worth $6,” I added.

Kim seemed unfazed by my criticism. “We aren’t selling water. We’re selling true hydration,” she said.

Kim then launched into a well-rehearsed speech on the health benefits of water infusions. Cucumber suppresses your appetite, so cucumber water is ideal for dieters, she said. Tarragon intensifies the effects of caffeine, so the apple-cinnamon water is good for brewing coffee in the

morning, she added. (I later researched these claims and didn’t find support for the tarragon one. As for cucumbers, they can suppress appetite, but that effect is due to their water and fiber content, so it would seem that eating them directly would work better than floating a few slices in water.)

This was my third visit to Water Bar DC, and I wondered if Kim realized that I was a reviewer, or if she just thought I was a major water enthusiast.

In any case, she finally let me into the bar.

Now, I’m no decorator — the unifying theme in my apartment might best be described as “cat hair” — but even I can tell Water Bar DC needs a design overhaul. From the black pleather couches to the shiny red chairs, the overall feel is that of a 1990s bachelor pad.

“Can I see the Beverly Hills 9OH2O?” I asked. I didn’t have the $100,000 to buy the limitededition release of this water, which comes in a diamondstudded bottle, but I wanted to

Pro tip: Check your expectations at the door — if it opens. get a picture of it.

“We don’t have that stocked, but we can certainly order one for you,” Kim said.

When I tried to order a less pricey imported water from the menu, Kim said they weren’t set up to accept credit cards yet.

So, last Thursday, I returned with cash and two friends.

Kim recommended we try the Aqua Carpatica from Romania. “It’s $25 because it’s the liter,” she said.

“That’s OK. We can all share it,” I replied.

Kim produced a tall, rectangular bottle and a stack of yellow Solo cups. She also gave us some unfiltered D.C. tap water, which I requested so that we could pit it against the Romanian water in a blind taste test.

“How do you cleanse your palate for a water tasting?” my

friend Neill asked.

No one knew, but we proceeded anyway. The result?

Of the three of us, only Neill correctly identified the bottled water. “This tastes like German tap water, sort of chlorinated,” he said. He slightly preferred the Romanian bottled water to the D.C. tap water, while my friend Sara and I thought the tap water tasted better. We all agreed that the Romanian water was not worth $25 — or even $13, which is what it costs to order a bottle online (shipping included).

Of course, ridiculous markups are common at regular bars too, but what people are really buying is atmosphere — and the opportunity to hang out somewhere other than one’s underwear-strewn apartment. So, I think Water Bar DC could succeed, but they’ll need to hire an interior designer first. They may also want to relocate to California.

“Lawn” at the National Building Museum will be the site of a free screening of “The Goonies” on Aug. 29.

An insider’s guide to movies Free summer flicks are playing at these 5 cool indoor spots

AARP’s movie screening at National Building Museum’s ‘Lawn’

With so many scenic spots around town, it’s natural that D.C. would be saturated with outdoor movie series each summer. Sure, the thought of seeing your favorite film with the glowing sunset and majestic monuments as your backdrop sounds good in theory.

But it’s a whole different ballgame once you actually go. Show up late to the movie? Good luck finding a spot where you can see or hear anything. Then there’s the heat, and let’s be honest, D.C. isn’t exactly pleasant in August. Why go through the grief when you can see movies for free in a cool room without pesky mosquitoes and the distracting sounds of the outside world? Throughout August, some of the city’s most interesting movie screenings are happening indoors at places you wouldn’t expect — music venues, cafes and even a museum exhibit. They might not offer supreme cityscape views, but they do provide a communal, hassle-free and unconventional experience that rivals their outdoor counterparts. Here are five places where you can catch a film — comfortably — for free this month. STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

The National Building Museum’s new installation offers a taste of the outdoors … from indoors. A sprawling yard sits inside the museum’s Great Hall, complete with hammocks, lawn chairs and faux grass, offering all the essentials of summer in a cool 70-degree room. The best time to hang at “Lawn” is during the museum’s Thursday night movie screenings, which are normally not free, but the lineup does include a free showing of “The Goonies” on Aug. 29 sponsored by AARP’s D.C. chapter. “We’re hoping that during the hot summer, people will be more inclined to see movies at the ‘Lawn,’ since we joke that it’s always the perfect the temperature in here,” says Jamee Telford, vice president for visitor experience at the museum.

On Thursday nights, when the plush chairs and couches are rearranged to face the projection screen, lights are dimmed and curtains close off the entrance, the intimate second level of Mount Vernon Triangle’s A Baked Joint could pass for a cozy living room. “We really wanted it to feel like you’re coming to your friend’s house to watch a movie,” says Tessa Velazquez, who co-owns the cafe with her brother and parents. She and her brother select the movies, a mix of Hollywood favorites such as “Finding Nemo,” “Legally Blonde” and “Point Break.” If you’re hungry, shell out for the crispy, homemade Sicilian-style pizza. “Growing up, it was a very special night in our house when my mom would make a homemade pizza, have friends over and watch a movie,” Velazquez says.

“It’s nice to see this happen at Joint.”

“Can I Kick It?” explores the synergy between hip-hop and martial arts every month at Songbyrd’s subterranean music venue. Arts collective Shaolin Jazz — which launched “Can I Kick It?” in 2013 — screens a wide selection of action, anime and classic blaxploitation films while DJ 2-Tone Jones scores each movie live with his own hip-hop soundtrack. “The goal is to make the music make sense for whatever people see on the screen,” 2-Tone says. “In the same way most movies are scored, the music is supposed to further bring out a certain emotion, and we try to do that as best as possible.” That means even if you’ve seen movies like “The Matrix” and “The Karate Kid” more times than you can count, an LL Cool J or Notorious B.I.G. track added to the mix can breathe new life into a favorite.

Black Cat’s new upstairs Red Room is much smaller than its previous incarnation downstairs. But it is a secluded, no-frills space where you can watch a movie free of background chatter or outside distractions. Throughout the summer, the venue is showing every film in the “Harry Potter” series in order, ending with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” on Sept. 5. There aren’t any happy hour deals (remember this being no-frills?) but Black Cat will have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic house-made butterbeer available for purchase. “Plus, anyone who comes in costume gets entered into a raffle for a pair of tickets to a show,” says Black Cat publicist Maegan Wood.

Coming soon: “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” (Thu.), “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (Aug. 15), “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” (Aug. 22), “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” (Aug. 29)

Before heading down to Smoke & Barrel’s cool basement on a Monday night, heed this warning: You might be a little freaked out by what you’ll see. Monday nights are when the Washington Psychotronic Film Society sets up shop to screen some of the most bizarre, obscure and campy indie films ever made. “Something that’s ‘psychotronic’ makes you go ‘wow,’ or ‘hmm’ or ‘ah,’ whether good or bad,” group president Carl Cephas says. “It’s like a mental explosion in your head.” The society — which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year — usually relies on wordof-mouth recommendations and Facebook groups to find movies to show, such as the kitschy 2000 sci-fi film “The Strange Case of Señor Computer,” 1977 horror story “Death Game” and 1998 action flick “L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies: Return to Savage Beach.”

The weekly screenings draw a dedicated bunch, though newcomers are happily greeted into the fold with an offering of homemade cookies. Get there early for the pre-show screenings (featuring music videos and other short-form programming) and the happy hour specials that include select $5 draft beers and half-price barbecue nachos. Those who donate money to the group are entered into a raffle at the end of the night, when Cephas hands out board games and other prizes.

“We have a big basement, almost like a clubhouse, where we invite our friends to come over, watch movies and party,” Cephas says.

Coming soon: “Hollywood Shuffle” (Thu.), “Big Daddy” (Aug. 15), “Jurassic Park” (Aug. 22) and “Easy A” (Aug. 29)

Sherniyan di Sarkar, a bhangra team based in Columbus, Ohio, will compete at Raniyaan di Raunaq.

Bhangra’s big step forward The nation’s first all-women’s competition shakes up the dance circuit’s status quo DANCE Sonali Dadoo was just a student in high school when her bhangra team received crushing feedback from a panel of judges in 2012. She hoped things would change, but six years later, at another competition, her team received nearly the exact same comments. “The judges explicitly asked, ‘Why did you bring girls to the competition?’ ” Dadoo says. “They were just perplexed by this idea. They were like, ‘You should have just brought males.’ ” Bhangra, a centuries-old Punjabi folk dance, was originally performed by men to celebrate the spring harvest. Since then, it’s evolved into a competitive sport on the global level (and an upbeat style of pop music), complete with its own host of

academies, coaches, teams and competitions. Even with that growth, and a rapidly expanding female presence, many see the form as still inherently masculine.

“Traditionally, when you think about good bhangra dancing, it’s always characterized by the men in the circuit: being big and athletic,” says Navneet Pandher, a member of the all-women D.C. Bhangra Crew (DCBC). As a result, the judging criteria at competitions emphasize those traits, leading to comments like the ones Dadoo’s team received.

But Pandher, along with the rest of DCBC, are out to break that male-dominated system.

That’s why DCBC is hosting Raniyaan di Raunaq, the first all-women’s bhangra competition in the U.S., at the Schlesinger

Center in Alexandria on Saturday. The event aims to address “the fact that our women have not been highlighted, showcased or supported in the way men’s teams have been,” says Asha Thanki, one of the competition’s creative chairs. “This is meant to be an affinity space, an empowering space.”

For the bhangra circuit — where all-women teams compete for token slots at competitions, at which both they and co-ed teams are scrutinized by majority-male panels and might only have access to male coaches or managers — Raniyaan di Raunaq is something of a revolution. All nine competing teams, which are coming from across the U.S. and Canada, and the three exhibition teams are composed entirely of women or those who identify as transgender or nonbinary or are from similarly marginalized groups (the organizers prefer the term “all-womxn”). So are the

competition’s executive board, judging panel and the support staffs for each team.

“This is the first time that every female who is even remotely associated with bhangra finally has a time to shine,” says Dadoo, who is co-captain of one of the competing teams, First Class Bhangra Girls.

Men are allowed to volunteer as day-of staff but, in essence, when the members of DCBC set out to create an “all-women’s competition,” they meant at every single level of the event’s production and execution. They want to foster the “best experience possible for dancers as dancers and women as women,” says operations chair Saranga Arora.

The judges’ rubric was crafted according to the competition’s vision for dancers expressing themselves, and their interpretation of bhangra, to the fullest onstage. “Everybody should be the best of themselves and

every team should bring their own identity,” says Neha Batra, one of the six judges. Batra, a bhangra dancer with over 10 years of experience, notes that this is the “first tangible step” she’s seen in the effort to assert the expansive female presence in bhangra, to show it’s not just for the boys.

And that’s exactly what DCBC intends Raniyaan di Raunaq to be: a first step.

“One women’s bhangra competition isn’t going to undo many generations’ worth of inequality,” says Pandher, who also serves as the event’s judging and registration chair. “But we’re hoping our competition will lead to productive conversation and plant the seeds of change.”

A million words to joke about COMEDY Nearly four years have passed since Ismo decided to leave the comforts of his native Finland and take a crack at the U.S. comedy scene. He quickly found a home on the stand-up circuit, booking his fair share of gigs.

And the comic became a viral sensation after his January 2018 set on “Conan,” which has generated more than 70 million views on Facebook.

Coming to comprehend the American lifestyle, however, has been more difficult for the Los Angeles resident. One source of bewilderment: the arbitrary etiquette of when to tip.

“In Finland, there’s no tipping — everybody just has a good salary anyway,” Ismo says. “How do you know who to tip and who not to tip? It’s crazy, the logic. Then I ask locals and they don’t even know. What about delis when there’s no waiter? Nobody can explain tipping, and I’ve been trying to ask for three years.”

Ismo, 40, wields that outsider perspective onstage with an endearing sense of bemusement.

In his “Conan” set, for example, he playfully posited that “ass” is the most complicated word in the English language. “Sometimes, if you add ‘ass’ to something, it can actually reverse the meaning of the original word,” he joked.

“Like, ‘bad’ is bad, but ‘badass’ is good. But not always. Like, ‘dumbass’ is still dumb. How could you know?”

Although Ismo recalls picking

up a fondness for wordplay and parody from the pages of Mad magazine, which he read as a youth in the Finnish city of Jyväskylä, his early exposure to stand-up was limited to the comedy club bookends on episodes of “Seinfeld.” It wasn’t until he was a physics and chemistry student at the University of Jyväskylä that he was introduced to live stand-up at the campus bar.

Ismo was 23 when he first stepped onstage at the bar in 2002. He promptly became a student of stand-up, dissecting VHS tapes of specials from Eddie Murphy and Eddie Izzard and scouring Finnish record stores for whatever comedy albums he could find.

Within 18 months, he was booking gigs across Finland. Ismo then tried his hand at Englishlanguage stand-up with a trip to the United Kingdom in 2005, and further raised his profile by performing at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007 and 2008.

He eventually made his American stand-up debut in 2014, when he won the Funniest Person in the World contest hosted by Hollywood’s Laugh Factory. At the time, he was in the midst of writing and starring in his own Finnish sitcom, titled “Ismo.”

But he didn’t hesitate when a newfound wealth of connections and contacts presented the opportunity for a move stateside, though it meant ending his series after just 16 episodes.

JON PREMOSCH AND GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

After a bold move from Finland, Ismo has U.S. audiences laughing their asses off

“ S ay i ng no wou ld h ave sounded ridiculous,” says Ismo, who moved to L.A. in December 2015. “That would have been a thing I would have regretted my whole life.”

Living in the U.S. has helped Ismo further master the craft of performing stand-up in a second language. And it’s been all the more challenging for a comic whose material is largely a witty dissection of dialect, even if his adaptation to life abroad has turned into a treasure trove of jokes.

“Crafting the order of the words to reveal the joke in the best way, that can be difficult,” Ismo says. “English has, like, a

million words — way more words than any other language. I don’t know all of the subtle double meanings of stuff, or there’s lots of synonyms for a word and I have to choose the right one. …

Often I do have to ask people, ‘Why is this not working? Why are people not getting this?’

“But timing and rhythm, that’s always been really natural to me with comedy,” he adds. “Luckily, that’s kind of the same in both languages.”

Ismo is now sharpening his material in hopes of taping a special or recording an album.

He relishes hitting the road with his act, which he will bring to the Arlington Drafthouse this

weekend, earnestly noting that “there’s so many states I’ve never been to yet.” More television is on his to-do list, as well.

All the while, Ismo faces the distinctive pressure of feeling like “the whole Finland is watching what I do here.”

“When you start thinking about it,” he says, “it’s kind of crazy that you can come from a small country with a completely different language and still do all this — and hopefully more.”

Reenrolling for extra credit The meta ‘BH90210’ makes for a smooth return to Beverly Hills

FX delves into ‘Impeachment’ proceedings

FOX

TV REVIEW As midlife crises go, you could do a lot worse than Fox’s “BH90210,” a clever and intentionally cheesy reunion of the original cast of the 1990s high school drama “Beverly Hills, 90210.” They’ve engineered it in a way that lessens the burden of full commitment — theirs or ours.

Managing to be both light and cynical, “BH90210” — a six-episode miniseries that premiered Wednesday — brings back Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley and Ian Ziering (everyone but Luke Perry, who died five months ago). They play exaggerated versions of themselves — which is to say, actors who happened to hit it big on an enjoyably mediocre TV series three decades ago and have had to cope with that fact ever since.

The show opens on the slightly pathetic scene of a “90210” fan convention in Las Vegas, where six of the actors have been lured to appear on a panel Q&A, each quietly dealing with a fresh personal setback: Jennie is working on her third divorce; Tori, once a reality show queen, has run out of reality that’s worth showing; Jason just lost a gig directing a superhero TV show because he punched its mouthy young star; Brian is a slightly bored

Most of the original “Beverly Hills, 90210” gang is back — and this time, they’re actually old enough to drink.

stay-at-home dad married to a superstar pop singer; Gabrielle, head of the actors union, just became a grandmother but is rather belatedly realizing she might be a lesbian; Ian and his trophy wife are hawking a workout guide with little success.

Shannen, still the cast member no one else likes, beams into the convention hall Q&A via an Instagram stream from India, where she is selflessly rescuing baby Bengal tigers and generally saving the planet.

None of the above tongue-incheekiness is exactly true, but it does give the actors — who now range in age from 46 to 58 — a playful chance to riff on their celebrity personas and post“90210” epilogues.

The first episode, in fact, verges on one of the smartest portrayals of midlife ennui we’re likely to see this year. Even if none of the “90210” actors spend their nights on a park bench (fictionally or otherwise), a viewer can at least take a moment to appreciate that their career trajectories aren’t quite what they once imagined.

“BH90210” easily locates a tone of self-mockery; if it could somehow remain in the slightly dour, don’t-remind-me mood of this first episode, it might get to a deeper, more profound place than it ever intended: a metacommentary on fame, age and nostalgia. Instead, shenanigans break out, the dialogue heads for the ham (to go with the cheese),

and the gang winds up spending a night in jail.

The ensuing media attention gives Tori the bright idea to approach Fox with a can’t-miss pitch for a reboot of “Beverly Hills, 90210”; the network enthusiastically agrees, if and only if the rest of the cast — including the elusive Shannen — will come aboard.

The conceit of “BH90210,” then, is to keep viewers guessing whether this project will come together or not.

“What is it that one guy said — ‘You can’t go home again’?”

Jennie asks Tori.

“What guy?” Tori asks.

“I don’t know,” Jennie says. “I only went to a fake high school.”

The Disney remakes just keep on comin’

The upcoming Disney+ streaming service will eventually feature reboots of “Home Alone,” “Night at the Museum,” “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Cheaper by the Dozen,” Disney president Bob Iger announced Tuesday. Iger referred to the projects as being “reimagined” versions during a conference call with investors, without clarifying if they will be movies or series. Disney+ launches Nov. 12. (EXPRESS)

Fox to air 2019 Emmys without a host

THR: Wesley Snipes, Leslie Jones, Kiki Layne join “Coming to America” sequel

TELEVISION FX has ordered a third chapter of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” series, about the 1998 impeachment of President Bill Clinton — with Monica Lewinsky as one of the show’s producers.

The network said Tuesday that the limited series, titled “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” will star Beanie Feldstein (“Booksmart”) as Lewinsky, the White House intern who had an affair with Clinton in the mid1990s. Sarah Paulson will play Linda Tripp, the civil servant who secretly recorded phone calls in which Lewinsky described her relationship with the president.

“Impeachment,” based on Jeffrey Toobin’s 1999 book, “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President,” and a script written by Sarah Burgess, aims to tell the Clinton scandal saga from the perspective of the women at the center of it.

Online criticism quickly followed FX’s announcement of the series, with some Twitter users complaining that the network’s intended premiere date of Sept. 27, 2020, could affect the final stretch of the presidential campaign.

“I believe very, very strongly in what we’re making,” FX chairman John Landgraf said at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif. “I don’t believe it’s going to determine who’s the next president of the United States.” H.S.

“Imagine for a second that you are Mexican/Hispanic.

And you feel that since Saturday, there is a target on your back.

And then you hear Tucker Carlson saying this.” @ELPANYLASAL, criticizing Carlson,

above, who described the rise of white supremacy in the U.S. as a “hoax” and “not a real problem in America” three days after the El Paso shooting.

“Absolutely losing it over the hangry Pokémon, I love him.”

“If someone is endangering your physical, mental or emotional health, it’s OK to cut them out of your life.

Really. Even if that person is family.”

@INKYDOJIKKO, admiring Morpeko, the Pokemon who

has a “full belly” mode and a “hangry” mode. Morpeko was introduced Wednesday when a trailer for the new games Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield dropped. The games, which will be released Nov. 15 for Nintendo Switch, also introduce new rival Team Yell and a host of other new Pokémon. According to the game’s official website, Morpeko is “always hungry, no matter how much it eats” and “when experiencing prolonged hunger, the balance of hormones within Morpeko’s body changes.” Same, Morpeko, same.

@A_JOYFULNOISE, responding to a viral “Ask Polly” letter in The Cut from a woman with a severe mushroom allergy who’s upset that her in-laws refuse to stop putting mushrooms or “mushroom powder” in every dish they serve.

“Seriously. Go to the library.

It’s a delight.” @CHRISSYTEIGEN, evangelizing after

her first visit to a public library in 23 years. Twitter users spent Wednesday weighing in on the joys of libraries and the ethics of punching down after one woman mocked a breathless post about free books, saying, “Someone I follow on Instagram thinks she discovered the library.” Twitter users noted that many people genuinely don’t know about all the many services libraries offer.

DIFFICULT

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Something new piques your interest, but you may not be feeling quite brave enough to give it a try — at least not yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your reactions to the day’s developments may border on the overdramatic, but you have good reason to be sensitive about certain things in flux.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Don’t let anyone tell you what you should do today; if you assess a situation correctly, you’ll know what you must do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may be tempted to venture further out of your comfort zone than usual today; is it the promise of a tangible reward that moves you so?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re waiting for a change that is not likely to come. Do what you can to make things happen for yourself.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Those who don’t know you all that well mustn’t be allowed to call the shots for you today. Dangers increase as you relinquish control.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re likely to reach an important personal milestone today. Others will join you in a group effort — if you present your case just right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone close to you may see through the rhetoric and discover your true motives in a certain tricky situation.

TODAY: A drier breeze from the west lowers the humidity just a bit and lowers our storm chances as well, although an isolated shower or storm remains possible. Highs head for the upper 80s to near 90 with partly sunny skies and moderate humidity. An isolated shower or storm risk continues tonight with lows in the upper 60s.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re eager to enjoy something to the fullest, but you may not be willing to pay the price that is being asked.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may be affected by something that happens to someone else today. Your own reaction reveals a great deal about you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Something you must get done tomorrow can be started today. Indeed, the sooner you get the preliminaries out of the way, the better for everyone.

QUESTS

Reality TV pitch taken to new extremes

Channing is overthinking social media Channing Tatum is taking a break from social media, the actor announced on Instagram on Wednesday.

“I haven’t felt creative on social in the last couple years now,” the 39-year-old actor wrote. Tatum, who has 17.4 million followers on Instagram, also wrote that if and when he returns to social media, “I want to have a direction or a clear point of view of why I’m on here and what I’m putting out there.” (EXPRESS)

Nicolas Cage has admitted to buying a series of properties as part of a personal search for the Holy Grail. In an interview with The New York Times Magazine that published online Wednesday, Cage compared the search to his “National Treasure” films. “[Following mythology] put me on a search around different areas, mostly in England, but also some places in the States,” he said. “What I ultimately found is: What is the Grail but Earth itself?” The 55-year-old actor also talked about a dinosaur skull that he spent $276,000 on, and later had to return because it had been illegally obtained. “I never got my money back. So that stank,” Cage said. (EXPRESS)
