An emergency room that’s a mirror.

The state where Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates made fortunes might have progressive social policies, but its resistance to an income tax is similar to conservative states. That might change.

Hollywood faces fallout as new Epstein files impact celebrity careers, with talent agencies losing clients and business deals paused amid revelations.

Kim Jong Un re-elected as general secretary of North Korea's Workers' Party, with state media praising his leadership and military advances over the past five years.

Katie Gaudreau reacted as Team USA men's hockey members honored her late brother following the team's gold medal win over Canada in the Olympics.

The family of an armed North Carolina man killed at Mar-a-Lago early Sunday calls the incident "mind-blowing," describing him as quiet and afraid of guns.

Team USA was outplayed for much of Sunday’s gold medal game, but they still found a way to capture their first Olympic gold in 46 years.

With his gangster image, Colón ruffled the feathers of the musical establishment, but thrilled millions of fans as he displayed the raw rhythmic possibility of salsa

Willie Colón, who has died in New York at the age of 75, was many things: master blaster of Nuyorican salsa; Puerto Rican superstar; actor in Mexican soap operas; an activist and, later, a reactionary in New York politics. These are just a few of the myriad accomplishments of a musician who always seemed to be in a hurry to move on, make new music and get into a spat with a fellow salsero or political opponent. Colón was an energy source, a musician as loud and vibrant – and sometimes infuriating – as the city he lived and died in.

While to Nuyoricans – Puerto Ricans living in New York – Colón was a legend, to many Anglo New Yorkers he barely registered, perhaps noted by a few for playing with David Byrne during the singer’s adventures in Latin American music. He was nominated for 10 Grammys but never troubled the US Top 40, yet across much of Latin America he was arguably the most celebrated brass player of the past six decades, winning the Latin Grammys’ musical excellence award in 2004. Colón was to salsa what Elvis Presley was to rock’n’roll – the fearless teenager whose loose, fast, rough interpretation of the music he heard on the streets helped create a genre that grew into the dominant Latin dance music.

Ties to the disgraced financier run deep through the academic world, documents released by the DoJ show

Major institutions of higher education in the US are reckoning with the latest release of the Epstein files after discovering the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with board members, professors and administrators on campuses across the country.

In some cases, professors have been placed under review, research centers closed or conferences canceled. Students and staff have responded in different ways, including petitions, open letters and campus forums.

The popular film-logging app is spurring cinephiles to linger through the credits and jot down their thoughts right away

I completely turn my phone off when I go to the movies. Not just on silent – all the way off. I say this not because I think that I’m better than you, or that by doing so the ghost of Billy Wilder will come back to shake my hand. I consider it one of life’s little luxuries: for at least an hour and 45 minutes, I am entirely unreachable. I keep my phone off for the duration of the credits, too. It feels decadent to stay put as my fellow moviegoers slowly filter out, illuminated only by rolling text.

And, lately, the glow of the Letterboxd app.

The rampaging, defending national champion Gators have taken over the top spot in the SEC.

• England tour to feature three Tests and three ODIs

• ODIs will be at smaller grounds due to SA20 bookings

England’s planned Twenty20 series in South Africa next January has been scrapped owing to a clash with the domestic SA20 tournament in the latest indication of the growing primacy of franchise cricket.

The Guardian revealed earlier this month that the white-ball leg of England’s tour was under threat as a result of a scheduling clash with SA20, which was due to run from 9 January until 14 February 2027.

New York City was brought to a standstill Monday morning after a monster bomb cyclone dumped double-digit snow totals throughout the area — with much more expected throughout the day.

• Dutchman steps down for personal reasons

• Caribbean island only has population of 150,000

Dick Advocaat led Curaçao to their first World Cup but will not be charge of the team at the tournament itself after resigning from the head coach’s post for personal reasons.

It is believed Advocaat had stood down because of his daughter’s health. “I’ve always said family is above football. So this is a self-evident decision,” the 78-year-old is reported as saying. “But of course that doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to miss Curaçao, the people there and my colleagues very much.”

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been accused of charging taxpayers for massages while he was serving as a trade envoy for the UK — as British cops continue to probe allegations he shared confidential trade docs with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In not editing out Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson’s shouted tics, Bafta have allowed their successful diversity drive to be overshadowed

• Backlash mounts to Bafta N-word controversy as Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce criticise outburst

Bafta’s error was big on Sunday night - but it was in the editing, or the lack of. No one could have stopped John Davidson - who has Tourette syndrome - yelling out the N-word while two black actors, Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo, were presenting a prize. But given that they did use the two-hour time delay to judiciously remove Akinola Davies Jr’s shout of “Free Palestine!” and Alan Cumming’s comparison of the themes of Zootropolis 2 (“Lies, corrupt leaders, poisoning and persecution of a race”) to contemporary America, it seems a perverse decision not to remove an appalling slur, yelled involuntarily, from the TV broadcast.
