#StrangersThings #IceCream #Baskin-Robbins  is launching several “Stranger Things”-inspired ice cream flavors and sweet treats in June. Season 3 of the Netflix show will be released on July 4. The two new flavors the Canton, Massachusetts-based chain is unveiling are Eleven’s Heaven, waffle cone-flavored ice cream with chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces and a chocolate-icing-flavored ribbon, and Upside Down Pralines, chocolate ice cream with praline pecans and a chocolate-caramel flavored ribbon. For those unfamiliar, Eleven is the name of one of the key characters on "Stranger Things," and the Upside Down is an alternate dimension. Baskin-Robbins and Netflix are also partnering to create a Scoops Ahoy ice-cream truck, a reference to the ice cream parlor that's on the show. It will serve fans on the West Coast in June. Baskin-Robbins' other "Stranger Things" tie-ins include: Upside Down Sundae — a sundae made with Upside Down Praline

#Uber #RudeRiders #Ban #Lowratedcustomers Uber riders with a habit of being rude to drivers or otherwise acting like a jerk could soon find themselves barred from using the service. Starting Wednesday, riders with a rating from drivers that's "significantly below average" could lose their ability to ride, the ride-sharing company said. "Respect is a two-way street, and so is accountability," Kate Parker, head of safety brand and initiatives at Uber, said in a blog post explaining the new policy. "Drivers have long been expected to meet a minimum rating threshold which can vary city to city. While we expect only a small number of riders to ultimately be impacted by ratings-based deactivations, it's the right thing to do.   Low-rated customers won't get the boot immediately. First, Uber will provide tips on how to improve their ratings, such as by being polite, not leaving trash in the vehicle and refraining from asking drivers to exceed spe

#JussieSmollett #ChicagoPolice #Documents #Courtrecords  Just over two months after prosecutors dropped the charges against Jussie Smollett, a controversial move that angered Chicago's police department, that department has released hundreds of pages of records pertaining to the comprehensive case investigators had developed against the Empire actor. The document dump Thursday, which had been set in motion with a court order last week, offers a fuller depiction of the twisting path that led from Smollett's report of a hate crime to his arrest for allegedly faking that report. Among the new details that came to light with the release is the fact that Smollett has an arrest record — a previous arrest and conviction — though the document does not clarify for what, exactly. The actor's legal team did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment Thursday. In general, though, the heap of booking materials, arrest reports, and other official forms reveal li

#NBA #NBAFinals #Warriors #Raptors The Toronto Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors 131-128 on Nov. 29, 2018 and then again 113-93 on Dec. 12, 2018 to complete the regular-season sweep.

It's the fifth-straight finals appearance for Golden State and the first ever for Toronto.

#BrookeLynHytes #Rupaul #RuPaulsDragRace #SilkyNutmegGanache #AKeriaChanelDavenport #YvieOddly 4th: Silky Nutmeg Ganache METTIE OSTROWSKI FOR EW Aside from what certain fans might think (Silky’s larger-than-life personality hasn’t exactly received the warmest welcome from some viewers), RuPaul — and Drag Race — are clearly in love with the four-course meal of extra-extra-extra personality and glitz this beauty queen has served since episode 1. That being said, it’s likely that Silky’s made-for-TV attitude is what kept her around for so long, as her runway looks haven’t been (and the judges have said as much) up to par with what the other girls have produced — even girls like Ra’Jah O’Hara and Scarlet Envy, who went home many weeks before Silky cemented a spot in the finale. For all the ways Silky has rubbed America wrong this season, it’s important to remember we’re simply watching a minuscule portion of a complete stranger’s life unfold via brief, heavily
