Dozens of people were evacuated from their homes after a suspicious package was discovered in a residential street. A large police cordon was enforced on a Hull estate while the object was investigated by explosives experts. Officers warned people in the area to stay 400 metres away from where are it was found. People in the area said they had been told it appears to be a ‘homemade bomb’. Two bomb disposal crews from the Royal Logistic Corps army unit were seen arriving at the scene. After hours of investigations, the object was deemed not to be a threat. Residents claimed they had been told a ‘jerry can’ with a cable running from it had been discovered, the Hull Live reported. One witness told the paper ‘whether it’s real or not, it’s disgusting’, adding: ‘Whoever’s done it, whether it’s some sick joke or not, it’s horrible for everybody. ‘If it is real that’s really worrying – I’ve got kids. I want to know who’s done it.’ Chief inspector James Glansfield … [Read more...] about Homes evacuated and people warned to stay away over ‘homemade bomb’ fears

The Frenetic Basketball Nostalgia of Winning Time
The 1980s Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most dominant teams in sports. At a time when professional basketball was on its heels, the Lakers brought new excitement: Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, Jerry Buss and the glitzy Forum Club, and an up-tempo flow offense.

I Went to Disney World
Earlier this month, Walt Disney World began reopening, following almost four months of closure due to the pandemic. I flew to Orlando to experience the magic. The week I arrived, Florida had registered the highest single-day case count of any state thus far. In Orlando’s airport, I felt a vague sense that Floridians considered such statistics a source of secret pride, as if they had set a record for fattest alligator or ugliest serial killer or most senior citizens in a golf cart. The airport where I had started my day, in Connecticut, had required masks, and everyone wore them. Here in Florida, some passengers went totally unmasked, but most wore masks in a defiant fashion, either slung under their chin or with their nostrils gaping out over the top, sucking and spewing potentially viral particles with every breath. A friend who lives a couple of hours away in St. Petersburg likens this latter style to “wearing a condom that covers only the shaft.” Disney World is in Florida only … [Read more...] about I Went to Disney World
