Music critic Anthony Fantano replied to Cruz, 'Do you know any jobs where

Tottenham Football Club has been blasted for trying to get fans to go vegan for their match against Chelsea this month. The north London side also want supporters to cycle or take public transport to the ground - despite some living hundreds of miles away. The scheme, which will be launched on September 19, is part of a bid to hold the world's first zero carbon football match. A Tottenham spokesperson said that meat options would still be available on the menu, with the vegan options available being extended for the match. But it has been met with fury by fans and farmers, who pointed out the huge carbon footprint the club creates travelling across the world for matches.

President Joe Biden's administration sent an urgent funding request to Congress for billions of dollars to pay for the resettlement of Afghan refugees and to address natural disaster damage. The White House asked for $6.4 billion to pay for relocation of tens of thousands of refugees as well as $24 billion in disaster relief - $14 billion in aid to respond to natural disasters that occurred before Hurricane Ida (such as the Western wildfires) and then $10 billion specifically for Hurricane Ida relief as well.  The request for more funding for Afghanistan refugees will likely spark political controversy given that some Democrats and many Republicans have criticized Biden handling of the evacuation.   President Joe Biden's administration asked for billions of dollars to pay for the resettlement of Afghan refugees and to address natural disaster damage - above, Biden huts a woman in New Jersey who was impacted by Hurricane Ida A family evacuated from Kabul, Afghanistan, arrive at

Police are seeking a 23-year-old man who allegedly shot and killed a father of two, and injured five others at a Kansas nightclub that he had been kicked out of early Tuesday. Wichita police identified the suspect in the shooting as Keshawn Dawson, who they said had been involved in a 'disturbance' that became 'physical' at the Enigma Club & Lounge in downtown Wichita, and was subsequently escorted out of the building. A short time later, at around 12.38am, police said Dawson allegedly returned with a semi-automatic handgun, and began shooting through the glass doors and windows at the front of the club, killing 34-year-old Preston Spencer of Wichita, and injuring five women.  After he opened fire, Dawson then left in dark-colored vehicle which was being driven by another individual, Wichita Police Capt. Jason Stephens said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.  Police are still seeking his whereabouts, he said, and were investigating whether there was any relatio

New York City actor Michael K. Williams' final social media post implored fans not to cry for him just six days before he was found dead in his Brooklyn penthouse - as it's revealed the pain of starring in Body Brokers; a movie about a crooked drug treatment center - his final film - pushed him to try therapy for the first time.  The Wire star, who has had his own battle with drugs in the past, was found dead on Monday from a suspected heroin overdose. In a tragic foreshadowing of his death, last week the 54-year-old posted on Instagram a video of Tracy Morgan telling fans 'Don't cry for me. OK', after his near fatal 2014 limousine crash.  In the video, Morgan said: 'I had a misfortunate accident. Don't cry for me. Cry for all the others, man.' This comes just less than seven months since the beloved actor said he started therapy for the first time after being deeply affected by his role in Body Brokers - his final film - which delves into the shady unde
