• I left NYC after 20 years so I could live near Disney World. Florida's been great despite some big drawbacks.
    www.businessinsider.com
    I can visit the Disney parks multiple times a week.I absolutely love visiting Disney World. Jenna Clark One great thing about living so close to Disney World is that I can go to the parks whenever I want, as long as reservations are available for annual passholders.I usually visit three or four times a week because the parks bring me so much happiness.I enjoy meeting the characters, so if I'm having a hard day and want to see Mickey Mouse or a princess, I don't have to commute very far. I frequently get to spend time with my friends at the parks.My Florida friends and I hang out in the parks a lot. Jenna Clark Most of the friends I made during my time in the Disney College Program in 2018 now live in Florida.Since moving, I've met with them to watch the parades, visit characters, and eat snacks in the parks.It's nice to go to the parks, enjoy each other's company, and not feel rushed during every experience. I can easily try the new, creative snacks Disney rolls out.Disney World has plenty of adorable, themed snacks. Jenna Clark The creative snacks are one of my favorite parts of visiting Disney World.I love trying the different cupcakes, brownies, and Mickey crisped-rice treats that celebrate holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Father's Day.I often enjoy the Mickey ice-cream sandwiches and bars, especially when the heat is unbearable. Most of the people I've met in Florida have been friendly.I love meeting Disney characters and interacting with staff members. Jenna Clark I was born and raised in New York City, so I was taught not to make eye contact or say hello to most people when walking on the street.One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Florida was how friendly many people were, especially the staff at Disney World.Whenever I pass by people at my apartment complex or in the parks, a wave or a "hello" is often involved.Though this initially felt strange, I've become more comfortable interacting with strangers. I can see glimpses of Magic Kingdom's fireworks from my apartment.When I moved to Florida, I was excited to learn I could see Disney's fireworks from my apartment. Jenna Clark I never thought I'd be able to see Magic Kingdom's fireworks from my apartment, but now I can.Though I don't have a complete view of the shows, I see at least a couple of magical fireworks each night. On the other hand, Florida has more intense storms than New York.I sheltered Disney World's Wilderness Lodge during Hurricane Ian. Jenna Clark I thought I knew what heavy rain was like living in New York, but I didn't realize how extreme tropical storms and hurricanes could be until I moved to Florida.Although New York has been hit directly by a handful of hurricanes in the past few years, Florida is the most hurricane-prone state in the US.The storms in Florida can get pretty extreme. When I had to evacuate my apartment complex and ride out Hurricane Ian, my first big Florida storm, I chose to stay at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.It was a frightening experience, but I thought the park employees did a great job ensuring guests were as comfortable as possible.Still, I try to stay on top of extreme weather warnings and upcoming storms more than ever now that I'm in Florida. The heat can be brutal, especially when waiting for outdoor attractions.I wear sunscreen more often now that I live in Florida. Jenna Clark Florida is known for its high temperatures and strong sun rays, so I apply sunscreen much more often than I did in New York.Many of the attractions and shows at the theme parks are outdoors, so if I forget my sunscreen, I get a harsh sunburn that lasts for several days. The tap water doesn't taste as good as it did in NYC.I don't think the Florida tap water tastes as good as the water in NYC. Jenna Clark After living in New York for about 20 years, I grew accustomed to the taste of tap water.Since I made drinking tap water a habit, I usually bring my reusable water bottles with me when I visit the theme parks.However, I find that Florida's tap water doesn't taste as great. I miss my family and often experience homesickness.My parents have visited Florida a few times, but I miss them when they're not here. Jenna Clark I moved to Florida with my sister but often miss my parents and family back in New York.It's hard knowing I can't take a 40-minute train ride to see my parents on the weekends like I did in college.It's nice when my parents do come to visit, though.This story was originally published on January 16, 2024, and most recently updated on December 23, 2024.

  • The Matt Gaetz ethics report, explained
    www.vox.com
    After much back-and-forth, the House Ethics Committee released a bombshell report about alleged sexual misconduct by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), stating that he broke multiple state laws and that hes previously paid a minor for sex. Gaetz has categorically denied the allegations and on Monday filed a lawsuit aimed at preventing the reports release. The review, which is the culmination of a years-long investigation, contains multiple allegations of wrongdoing, including that Gaetz spent tens of thousands paying women, and in at least one instance a 17-year-old, for sex or drugs, and that hes used illicit drugs like ecstasy and cocaine. Although the Ethics Committee concluded that Gaetz had not violated federal sex trafficking statutes, it found that the lawmaker had broken other state laws.The Committee concluded there was substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, acceptance of impermissible gifts, the provision of special favors and privileges, and obstruction of Congress, the report reads. There was some question about whether the report would be released, and substantial portions of it leaked before it was formally published. The Ethics Committee, a bipartisan panel that investigates wrongdoing by lawmakers, initially deadlocked when it came to releasing their results in the wake of Gaetzs resignation from Congress. Its uncommon for the panel to share its findings after a member is no longer in Congress, though its not unheard of. Gaetz abruptly resigned following his nomination to be President-elect Donald Trumps attorney general. After he withdrew from consideration for attorney general when it became clear that he wouldnt get sufficient Senate support, the Ethics panel ultimately voted to publicize the report. The report contains detailed documentation of the allegations it levies against Gaetz and is the product of contacting more than two dozen witnesses and reviewing 14,000 documents. Whether the report will lead to additional legal consequences or political ramifications for the bombastic former member of Congress is still an open question, however. Heres what you need to know about the report, and what may come next for Gaetz.What does the report say?The report centers on allegations of Gaetz paying women, and one teenage girl, for sex, his use of illegal drugs, and his acceptance of improper gifts. Commercial sex: The report alleges that Gaetz paid women for sex on numerous occasions between 2017 and 2020, and paid a 17-year-old girl for sex in 2017. In the course of its investigation, which included multiple interviews with women who said they had sexual encounters with Gaetz, the Ethics Committees report said there were at least 20 instances when he paid women for sexual activity or drugs. They found such payments were made on platforms including PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp, as well as via check and cash. When given an opportunity to explain the payments he made, Gaetz did not provide any information to the committee. Gaetz allegedly met many of these women via his friend Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole County tax attorney whos now serving 11 years in prison for multiple crimes, including underage sex trafficking and wire fraud. Greenberg connected with the women via a website called SeekingArrangement.com that aims to link older affluent men and younger women. Broadly, the report says there was evidence that women expected payment for their interactions with Gaetz and Greenberg, with the report citing explicit examples including one when a woman noted: I usually do $400 per meet. One of the people who Gaetz allegedly had a sexual encounter with was 17 years old at the time of their meet-up in July 2017, the report notes. He allegedly had sex with her at a party that month; she did not disclose that she was under 18 nor did he ask her age. The committee concluded that he was not aware that that person was a minor, though the report also notes that ignorance of a minors age doesnt shield an offending adult from being charged with statutory rape under Florida law. Gaetz has repeatedly denied that he paid women for sex and denied that he had sex with a minor. In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked, Gaetz previously wrote on X. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18.The panel determined that Gaetzs actions were a violation of Florida state laws addressing commercial sex and statutory rape. It also did not find that Gaetz had violated federal sex trafficking laws, claiming that he did transport women across state lines for commercial sex, but that there was no evidence those individuals were under 18 or that they had been induced by force, fraud, or coercion.Illegal drug use: Two women that the committee spoke with also testified to seeing Gaetz repeatedly engage in illegal drug use including that of ecstasy and cocaine, while additional evidence points to his regular use of cannabis. Gaetz has denied allegations of unlawful drug use. The committee found that these actions were a violation of Florida state laws, which bar the use of all three drugs for recreational purposes. Excessive gifts: The panel alleges that Gaetz also accepted gifts in excess of the $250 limit that Congress members are supposed to adhere to (but that lawmakers, in practice, arent always held to). This specifically included a trip to the Bahamas in 2018, during which Gaetz allegedly accepted a flight on a private plane as well as lodgings. Gaetz has denied these allegations, but failed to provide the committee with evidence that he paid for these services himself. The committee determined that his acceptance of these gifts was an ethical violation of the House Gift Rule. Obstruction of Congress: Gaetz did not voluntarily participate in an interview with the committee and also did not respond to a subpoena he faced for testimony. He provided some documents in response to the panels requests, but little relevant information, according to the report. Gaetz has repeatedly cited the lack of charges levied against him by the DOJ inquiry and argued that the Congressional investigation was targeted. The committee, however, stated that Gaetz was required by federal law to cooperate with a congressional investigation regardless of what the DOJ decided to do with its investigation, or how he may have felt about the House inquiry. Failing to answer the committees questions and being unresponsive to its subpoena constitutes obstruction of Congress, according to the report.Why is the Ethics Committee report coming out now?The Ethics Committee first began its investigation into Gaetz in 2021, but put it on pause once the Justice Department started its own investigation later that year. It took up its review once more after the DOJ inquiry ended in 2023. The department did not release any details about its findings or why it declined to continue its probe, though the New York Times reported that federal prosecutors were uncertain about their ability to make the case that Gaetz had broken federal law.The panel was scheduled to release its findings in mid-November, right around when Trump announced Gaetz as his AG pick. Gaetz stepped down from Congress swiftly following that announcement, a surprising move as Congress members who are nominated typically havent given up their jobs before getting confirmed. Gaetzs departure raised questions about whether the committee would still publish the report, with some Republicans arguing that it was no longer in its jurisdiction since the conservative was no longer a lawmaker. While Gaetz was still under consideration for AG, the committee deadlocked about releasing the report. After he withdrew from the role, the majority including at least one Republican member voted on December 10 to release the report. The Committee has typically not released its findings after losing jurisdiction in a matter, the report reads. However, there are a few prior instances where the Committee has determined that it was in the public interest to release its findings even after a Members resignation from Congress.Is the Ethics Committee investigation connected to the DOJs investigation?The two investigations arent connected in any legal way, though the Ethics Committee noted in its report that it tried to use some of the DOJs work in its investigation. DOJ pushed back on that effort and according to the committee, the DOJ failed to comply with a subpoena and FOIA request for information.The Committee hopes to continue to engage with DOJ on the broader issues raised by its failure to recognize the Committees unique mandate, the report states.The committee hoped to work with the DOJ in part because the two investigations covered many of the same allegations, primarily that Gaetz regularly paid women for sex, had sex with a minor, and transported women across state lines for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex.The DOJ investigation, which started in 2020 during Trumps previous term, had a more limited scope than the ethics investigation. Thats because the DOJ looks for proof that a federal crime was committed, while the ethics panel is concerned with as the report put it upholding the integrity of our government institutions. That is, an act can be deemed unethical without being a federal crime. Again, the DOJs investigation did not result in any federal charges against Gaetz and is no longer open. Will the ethics report have any legal repercussions?Although the federal government is no longer investigating Gaetz, the ethics report highlights several acts allegedly taken by Gaetz that lawmakers claim are state crimes. And that could lead to further legal entanglements for Gaetz, Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel for legal advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Vox. Of course, the committee no longer has jurisdiction over Mr. Gaetz, but I would venture to guess that there is some conduct that he engaged in that can and should be investigated by local law enforcement, dependent on state laws, statutes of limitations, and local willingness to launch an investigation, Sherman said. The ethics report finds that Gaetz violated Florida state law by having sex with the 17-year-old, paying for sex, and using illicit drugs. Florida law enforcement officials have yet to announce any investigations into Gaetz related to either allegation. The DOJ has also made no indication it intends to revisit the matter, and given Gaetz is a Trump ally who was once in line to lead that department, it seems unlikely that Trumps DOJ would reopen the case into Gaetz.Youve read 1 article in the last monthHere at Vox, we're unwavering in our commitment to covering the issues that matter most to you threats to democracy, immigration, reproductive rights, the environment, and the rising polarization across this country.Our mission is to provide clear, accessible journalism that empowers you to stay informed and engaged in shaping our world.

  • Christopher Nolans Next Film Is an Adaptation of Homers The Odyssey
    gizmodo.com
    The speculation can finally end. Universal took to social media Monday to give film fans everywhere a present: the first official description of Christopher Nolans next movie. Its called The Odyssey which, yes, is an adaptation of Homers poem. Christopher Nolans next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homers foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026, the statement read. Written by Homer centuries before the birth of Christ, The Odyssey is the follow-up to The Illiad. It follows Odysseus, a Greek hero who travels home after the Trojan War. A sprawling adventure featuring mythical creatures, battles and more, its a story that has been adapted in seemingly every medium in seemingly every era. But, coming from Nolan, you can be sure this will be the biggest, most faithful, and massive adaptation yet. Plus, its a far cry from previous rumors about the film, such as it being about helicopter or the one reported on by this website which was it was a period film about vampires. Hey, at least it is a period film. Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyongo star though theres no word on who is playing who. But lets speculate a bit. Were thinking and this is totally from colleague Sabina Graves that it would make sense to see Matt Damon as Odysseus, Holland as his son Telemachus, Hathaway as Penelope, Theron as Athena, Pattinson as Poseidon (or the Cyclops), Nyongo as Circe and Zendaya as Calypso. But, again, pure speculation.And whats the brand new IMAX film technology the studio is touting? Sounds exciting. But not as exciting as Nolan going for the biggest story of his entire career, and maybe his second Oscar. The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolans, opens July 17, 20216. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, whats next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

  • Dan Da Dans Dub Actors Are Feeling the Love
    gizmodo.com
    As 2024 comes to a close, Dan Da Dan has become the talk of the shonen town. From the chemistry of its two leads to its banger opening and offbeat style, Science Sarus adaptation of Yukinobu Tatsus supernatural romcom has captured hearts and minds of animation fans, whove been tuning in on a weekly basis to see what madness Momo Ayase and Okarun will get caught up in next. In early December, io9 spoke with Momo and Okaruns respective dub actors, Abby Trott and A.J. Beckles, who came to the material through different avenues. Beckles was already reading the manga prior to auditioning, while Trott only knew of it through the audition. They both became captivated, and were pretty shocked they booked the partsand how much the dub specifically has been singled out as great in its own right. Seeing some of the comments about how some people enjoy the dub, and have switched over to it, has been really cool, said Beckles. The sub v. dub war has existed since the dawn of time, but he said Dan Da Dan avoided getting looped in thanks to heavy marketing for its dub, and the actors having proper time to record. That isnt always the case with anime, and according to him, the shows better for it: without preconceived notions surrounding either the Japanese or English voices, viewers have been free to like whichever version they want. Gkids/Science Saru While audiences have sung the shows praises for months now, some viewers were thrown off by the first episodes second half, wherein both Momo and Okarun find themselves in peril by otherworldly beings. While Okarun gets chased around and possessed by the demonic Turbo Granny, Momo ends up in a more harrowing situation wherein shes kidnapped by aliens called the Serpo, who strip her down to her underwear and prepare to steal her reproductive organs. Its a pretty sudden tonal shift, not helped by there still being traces of comedy as the Serpo call said organs bananas.When asked, both actors readily acknowledged how unpleasant the scene could be to watch, and neither faulted anyone for jumping off the show because of it. For Trott, the scene is a key moment for her character, since thats when Momos psychokinetic powers emerge. Once she realizes what she can do, she immediately goes on the offensive, and several of the seasons big action beats have involved Momo getting a better handle on her abilitiesso to have her come into that power and immediately use it to kick the Serpos butts was satisfying. In that scene, were not saying the Serpoians are good, its quite the opposite. Theres a lot of dynamics to this anime, and definitely some hard parts to get through, said Trott. But the good outweighs those tough to watch moments.Beckles shared a similar sentiment, and pointed to how Momo using her grandmothers advice and getting a surprise assist from Turbo Granny as examples of how women support each other throughout the story. As a manga reader, he indicated things improve going forward, saying viewers would see, as the show continues, that it does take those moments more seriously. The two actors also highlighted Okaruns presence and healthy perspective on women, which lets the show contrast him with the more invasive Serpoians. Gkids/Science Saru After its fourth episode, Momo and Okaruns slow burn romance really begins to take shape. Their growing relationship is all the more notable since other shonen often have romance as an addition to their stories rather than the core. Tatsu famously revealed that while pitching Dan Da Dan, his editor Shihei Lin recommended he read shoujo (or young girl) manga, which puts focus on personal and romantic relationships. If Lin hadnt doled out the advice, the series might not be what it is now, and would likely lack the same impact and excitement around it. Audiences love a good love story, and they know when its not hitting. But because theyre so well-written and clearly definedand can never be normal around the other, especially in publicits hard not to root for Momo and Okarun.Even when the pair are caught up in some wild stuff, their feelings for one another inform nearly everything they do. Learning this was a love story didnt change either actors handling of the material, but Trott said the scene where Okarun and Momo bicker for the first time made it clear where things were headed. For Beckles, some of his favorite scenes for his character are when Okaruns just trying to figure out how to talk to a girl for the first time, or telling Momo how much he cares what she thinks. The dynamic between the leads is just as important in the booth. When it comes time to record, the actors both said they prefer when the others already come in first, since it allows them to feed off one another. Trott said she gets so much from her co-lead, especially since Okarun often provokes a certain response from Momo that makes her adjust her responses accordingly. The sames very much true for Beckles, who admitted the more intimate, romantic scenes would trip him up since Okarun tends to speak from his heart.Where Momos encounter with the Serpo helps trigger her psychic powers, Okaruns experience with Turbo Granny leaves him with a partial essence of the spirits powers, which let him transform into a faster, smoother, and more laid-back emo version of himself. As Beckles explained it, finding a default voice for Okarunwhich hed then use for when the characters more expressive or in his Turbo modetook several recording sessions. In those early episodes, Okarun was always screaming or whispering, and there was so much of it happening back-to-back-to-back to establish a baseline. Beckles credited voice director Alex von David for guiding him toward moments to make his voice more nerdy or more endearing. Alex has the overall vision, and he knows where Okaruns going. I really leaned on him on the points where it was difficult, but its good when its a challenge to try and do something the right way. One specific challenge he cited was episode fours goodbye scene between Okarun and Momo, which he called one of his most infuriating moments to record. Since he came into the booth first that day, it was hard to consider Okaruns thought process, how Trott would perform during her recording time, and the meaning behind each goodbye uttered. Once [Abby] recorded first the next day, he said, the puzzle pieces started to connect. I could play off her emotions, and it could build that way. I dont think we couldve gotten that endearing, childlike read without her See you later!'Gkids/Science Saru During our talk, Beckles and Trott shouted out several others thatve made Dan Da Dans adaptation a success. Along with the fans and von David, they gave glowing praise to their fellow dub actors Lisa Reimold (Aira) and Barbara Goodson (Turbo Granny), and their own characters respective Japanese performers, Natuski Hanae and Shion Wakayama. (Trott called Wakayamas Momo one of her favorite anime performances ever, and a perfect embodiment of Japans gyaru subculture.) Going on this journey has been a blast for them both, so its good well be hearing them again on Netflix and Crunchyroll with season two in July 2025. And while they couldnt say anything about whats to come, Beckles teased that where things left off is tame compared to where the show goes later. Want more io9 news?

  • True Star of Crocodile Dundee, Burt the Croc, Dies at 90
    gizmodo.com
    By Harri Weber Published December 23, 2024 | Comments (0) | Burt, the croc made famous by Crocodile Dundee. Photo: Crocosaurus Cove Darwin / Facebook Burt, best known as the bastard saltwater croc fromCrocodile Dundee, died over the weekend. Long live Burt. Along with a knife, thered be no Crocodile Dundee without crocodiles, and Burt both appeared in the 1986 film and also reportedly inspired the prop croc that nearly gobbled up unwitting reporter Sue Charlton (played by Linda Kozlowski) in one critical scene. Burt passed away peacefully at the Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, Australia, the herpetarium and aquarium wrote on Facebook, estimating that he lived well into his 90s. Named after the late actor Burt Reynolds and weighing in at roughly 1,500 pounds, Burt drives a central conflict in the Australian-American action-comedy flick. The croc rises from murky waters just as Charlton wades in for a cooling dip and a drink, when he (or rather, the prop purporting to be him) suddenly snatches the canteen around her neck with great, big, pointy teeth. In the nick of time, the voyeur Mick Dundee (played by Paul Hogan) leaps into frame and mercilessly deals Burt a deathblow with his iconic knife.The incident trauma-bonds the characters and concludes with an embrace. In Dundees arms, Charlton asks, is it dead? Dundee quips back, well if it isnt, Im gonna have a hell of a job skinning the bastard. Burts apparent on-screen disposition wasnt just fiction, according to the Crocosaurus Cove post. The aquarium described him as a fiery, fierce, and challenging croc who came to be a well-known ambassador for crocodile education. The site also called him a confirmed bacheloran attitude he made clear during his earlier years at a crocodile farm.Burt first arrived at the farm in the 1980s, after being captured from the Reynolds River in Australias Northern Territory, according to the social media post. The largest reptiles alive today, saltwater crocodiles are also native to Eastern India and Southeast Asia. Theyre not listed as endangered, though National Geographic notes that the species reputation as a man-eater puts pressure on the population. It stands to reason that this is due at least in part to films such as Crocodile Dundee, as experts have linked Steven Spielbergs Jaws (1975) to harmful outcomes for sharks. On Facebook, Crocosaurus Cove visitors shared their own colorful memories of Burt and wished the powerful reptile well in the great beyond.Hope the rivers are full of tasty fish where you are now, said one commenter warmly. Hope he WD be stuffed n not incinerated, offered another.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Isaac Schultz Published December 12, 2024 By Isaac Schultz Published December 11, 2024 By Isaac Schultz Published December 4, 2024 By Isaac Schultz Published November 30, 2024 By Matthew Gault Published November 27, 2024 By Isaac Schultz Published November 12, 2024

The project is located in Las Compuertas, Mendoza, Argentina, on a long, narrow site with privileged views of the mountains. In response to the client's desire to build a sustainable winery that would leave the smallest possible carbon footprint, the architects proposed a design based on recycled materials and disused elements, integrating them into a functional and aesthetically unique construction.Save this picture!Save this picture!The initial task was to identify reusable elements that could be sourced locally and in sufficient quantities. Reclaimed old rafters from a derelict adobe warehouse, discarded shipping containers, and oil drilling pipes, among other salvaged materials, were recovered and transformed into the skeleton and essence of the building.Save this picture!Save this picture!Oil borehole pipes formed the main columns of the structure, strategically arranged in a grid to support the roof of the central nave. These columns were constructed by connecting four tubbing pipes with intermittent sections of larger diameter pipes at the center. The old wooden rafters were then carefully dismantled and reinterpreted; with the pendentive now facing downward, they lend a modern and distinctive style to the roof. Surrounding the central nave, the shipping containers were utilized as enclosures, creating functional areas such as the wine shop, tasting rooms, warehouses, and offices. This modular design optimized space usage and upheld the principles of recycling throughout the project.Save this picture!The project's development was a continuous challenge, as materials had to be sourced from "chacaritas" or rescued from demolitions. As a result, the construction process was frequently interrupted, demanding on-the-go design adjustments and modifications to accommodate the available resources.Save this picture!Save this picture!Each recovered element narrates its unique history: the wood repurposed from the mezzanine of the old winery now serves as a partition within the containers. At the same time, aluminum panels from the former ceiling of the iconic Hotel Aconcagua have been reimagined as elegant cladding. Additionally, remnants of solid wood from the winery's construction have been cut into uniform strips, creating a warm and cohesive finish that fully envelops the tasting room.Save this picture!The final result is a winery that harmoniously combines the new and the old, with unique details that highlight the creative reuse of materials, responding efficiently to the functionality required by the winemaking process. The sustainable and collaborative approach between the studio and the client not only reduced the environmental footprint but also gave the project an authentic and coherent character with its surroundings.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officePublished on December 23, 2024Cite: "MAAL Wines / Mora Hughes Arquitectos" 23 Dec 2024.
