Porn performer Connor Kline–also known as Brice Banyan, depending on which site he appears on–is dealing with the difficult aftermath of removing a gigantic tattoo across his back. Kline rose to prominence in part because of the “Born This Way” tattoo. The ink made him easily identifiable and helped him build a large, excited fan base. His career took a much-justified nosedive, however, when he declared he would never have sex with a black man. Because it’s all about the...

The Fed’s beige book, a collection...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed Britain closer to a no-deal exit from the European Union on Monday, insisting he will not hold Brexit talks with EU leaders unless the bloc lifts its refusal to reopen the existing divorce deal - notably backstop. "My assumption is that we can get a new deal, we are aiming for a new deal," he said during a visit to the Faslane naval base in Scotland. Johnson said the EU must drop a "backstop" intended...

2019 seems to be a good year for new theatres opening in London; continuing that trend is the brand-new Troubadour Theatre in White City. Home to two performance spaces, Peter Pan is playing in the larger, 1,200 capacity theatre; vast, boxy, and featuring exposed rigging, it more closely resembles a miniature arena than a traditional theatre space. Although this production is large in scale, at times it felt a little bit swallowed up by the cavernous space in which its...

Go...
