Answer: ‘Grizzly II,’ a bonkers unfinished ‘80s monster movie filmed in Hungary that you’ve almost certainly never seen. It took crooks, Clooney, rock stars, Laura Dern, Charlie Sheen, and some fearless filmmakers to get it made. After decades in obscurity, it’s finally being resurrected for the world to see. But how? And why?

Like most pallid cosmic horrors from MA, Kennedy will just bide his time until once again the stars are right.

Federal prosecutors are preparing to charge longtime GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy in connection with efforts to influence the U.S. government on behalf of foreign interests, according to people familiar with the matter, a result of a sprawling, years-long investigation that involved a figure who helped raise millions for Donald Trump’s election and the Republican Party. Broidy is under scrutiny for his alleged role in a campaign to persuade high-level Trump administration officials to drop an investigation of Malaysian government corruption, as well as for his attempt to push for the extradition of an outspoken Chinese dissident back to his home country, according to the people, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. He has been in discussions with the Justice Department and could ultimately reach a plea deal, they said.

In a blow for progressives, Democratic Rep. Richard Neal fended off a primary challenge from Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse in Massachusetts’ 1st congressional district. Neal, the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means committee, came out on top after a tightly contested and closely watched primary. The race was marked by unsubstantiated allegations of sexual impropriety against Morse, bitter generational infighting, and major spending by Justice Democrats, the progressive group that helped elect Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez two years ago.

Eight of Louisiana's 15 hurricane-related deaths are linked to carbon monoxide poisoning from portable generators. As of Tuesday, many thousands of households in the state are still without power.

A Kenosha business owner is accusing President Donald Trump of using his destroyed store for political gain. Tom Gram’s century-old camera shop burned to the ground a week ago during the unrest in Uptown Kenosha. Gram said he declined President Trump’s request to be a part of his tour of damage Tuesday in Kenosha. Instead, a former owner of the shop was invited and he praised the president’s efforts.

The agency order would impose criminal penalties on landlords who violate the ban.

San Francisco’s Muni Metro light-rail system, which shut down abruptly last week after a short reopening, is expected to remain closed through the end of the year as extensive repairs are made, officials said Tuesday. Muni shut down the light-rail system, which had been closed for five months during the coronavirus pandemic, after two faulty parts that connect overhead wires broke last week and an employee in the transportation management center tested positive for the coronavirus and other staff were quarantined. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency transit director Julie Kirschbaum announced the prolonged suspension to the agency’s Board of Directors during a meeting on Tuesday. The back-to-back break of parts raised concerns that more parts would fail and leave customers stuck in the subway during COVID-19. Officials also said it makes sense to do the repairs now while ridership is low.

Some of the largest real estate investors are walking away from debt on bad property deals, even as they raise billions of dollars for new opportunities borne of the pandemic.

Overnight, Hurricane Laura made landfall as a Category 4 storm, slamming into parts of Louisiana and Texas with 150 mph winds and a powerful storm surge. While the impact so far does not appear to have been as bad as anticipated, the damage is still severe and widespread, especially in the Lake Charles area. Below are some of the early photographs from the hard-hit Gulf Coast, the day after Laura passed through.

New York City has reached the largest settlement recorded over an inmate’s death at the Rikers Island jail complex, agreeing to pay $5.9 million to the family of a 27-year-old transgender woman who died there last year while in solitary confinement. Layleen Polanco was found unresponsive in her cell in June 2019 after having an epileptic seizure. Her death prompted protest marches to draw attention to the discrimination transgender people say they often face in the criminal justice system. Her case also spurred Mayor Bill de Blasio to call for an end to solitary confinement in city jails altogether. The settlement, which is still being finalized, resolves a federal civil rights lawsuit brought by Ms. Polanco’s family in August 2019. Still, her sister, Melania Brown, said in an interview on Monday that it was “just the beginning of justice.” “I have no faith in the city, I have no faith in anything that they do, besides them paying people out, that’s all they do,” she said. “That’s their way of saying sorry. I do hope this settlement makes a powerful statement that Black trans lives do matter and that we need a change moving forward.”

Twitter said Monday it will begin displaying warning labels on shared posts that contain misleading or doctored videos after facing complaints that it failed to do enough to limit the spread of deceptive clips targeting Joe Biden's campaign. Key context: The social network in recent days has slapped labels on tweets by prominent Republican officials that contained deceptively edited or altered videos, including posts by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, White House social media director Dan Scavino and the reelection campaign for President Donald Trump.

A Florida man who called himself “the Antifa hunter” as he waged an online campaign to terrorize and harass those who opposed his white supremacist ideology was sentenced on Monday to more than three years in prison. Daniel McMahon, 32, of Brandon, Florida, pleaded guilty in April to using social media to threaten a Black activist to deter the man from running for office in Charlottesville, Virginia. McMahon also admitted that he threatened to sexually assault the young autistic daughter of a North Carolina woman who protested against white nationalists. A federal judge in Virginia sentenced McMahon to three years and five months in prison. McMahon declined an opportunity to make a public statement beforehand, but he heard from his victims during the hearing, which was conducted remotely by video conference. In a written statement read aloud by a court employee, the North Carolina woman said McMahon methodically “cultivated a culture of fear and chaos” in her community of anti-racist activists.

“All these kids we are seeing in the streets, the MK Ultra, it only takes like an hour. They have it down to an art. They have it down to a science. They will fragment your mind into 100 pieces, and each piece is separated with a disassociated wall of amnesia so they can program each piece. The programming is in you. “When you see Hillary or the Queen wearing purple, that’s end of the world programming. If they’re wearing green, it means this. If they put out something verbatim like on Twitter, it activates the code, so maybe assassination codes, so maybe other codes. “All these teachers are doing it in daycare, they’re doing elementary, junior high, high school. Churches are doing it. “Now with all these guys in the streets, this is why they can’t be reasoned with,. You can’t reason with someone that’s been mind controlled. Do you notice the guys in the streets with the umbrellas? Those are their handlers. That activates the programming. “What that does, the umbrella reminds them and activates the violence programming, saying that, ‘If you don’t get violent, we will activate the tormenting spirits that we have placed in you to torment you until you do.'” –  Mark Taylor, QAnon nutbag and  self-proclaimed “prophet.”

Rittenhouse is being charged as an adult with six criminal counts: first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18. The first five are felonies; the weapon possession charge is a misdemeanor. While Rittenhouse’s attorneys will likely combat the various homicide charges by claiming self-defense, NBC News reported on Monday that Rittenhouse’s attorneys are planning to fight the possession charge by arguing that Rittenhouse was acting as part of a “well-regulated militia” under the Second Amendment. According to the report, Rittenhouse’s attorney John Pierce–who previously represented President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page–is likely to argue that Wisconsin’s ban on firearms possession by persons under 18 violates the U.S. Constitution because a 17-year-old minor has the same Second Amendment rights as an adult.

The 28-year-old man who pulled a gun on another customer at Walmart in July during an argument over face masks is no longer facing charges. Court records show that the State Attorney's Office didn't file charges against Vincent Bruce Scavetta, saying that although there was probable cause to arrest him, the current evidence doesn't prove all the "legally required elements" of the crime he's accused of and isn't sufficient enough to support a criminal prosecution. Scavetta was arrested in early July for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and improper display of a firearm for pulling a gun on a shopper and his daughter after the shopper said Scavetta should be wearing a mask, according to investigators. The incident had been caught on surveillance video.

Lift It Down, by the leader of the fictional Children of the New Dawn, is out October 30

Marco Perez was thrilled to hear the news ahead of Monday evening’s dinner rush inside his 5-year-old AdaPris Pizza Buffet in Cullman County. For the first time since March, when strict State Health Orders went into effect, Perez is given the go-ahead to reopen the self-serve buffet in his restaurant. “That is good news,” said Perez, when informed that hidden on Page 11 of the state’s revised “Safer at Home” Health Order that was issued on Thursday is a tiny nugget that will make buffet fans – but especially, their owners -- rejoice: Effective 5 p.m. Monday, all buffets, salad bars and self-serve drink stations are OK to reopen as long as there is an employee present whose duties include ensuring that six-feet of separation exists among customers. In addition, that employee will also be charged with providing hand sanitizer and will encourage patrons to apply it before using the buffet, salad bar or self-serve drink station.

A strange phenomenon has emerged near Amazon.com Inc. delivery stations and Whole Foods stores in the Chicago suburbs: smartphones dangling from trees. Contract delivery drivers are putting them there to get a jump on rivals seeking orders, according to people familiar with the matter. Someone places several devices in a tree located close to the station where deliveries originate. Drivers in on the plot then sync their own phones with the ones in the tree and wait nearby for an order pickup. The reason for the odd placement, according to experts and people with direct knowledge of Amazon’s operations, is to take advantage of the handsets’ proximity to the station, combined with software that constantly monitors Amazon’s dispatch network, to get a split-second jump on competing drivers. That drivers resort to such extreme methods is emblematic of the ferocious competition for work in a pandemic-ravaged U.S. economy suffering from double-digit unemployment. Much the way milliseconds can mean millions to hedge funds using robotraders, a smartphone perched in a tree can be the key to getting a $15 delivery route before someone else. Drivers have been posting photos and videos on social-media chat rooms to try to figure out what technology is being used to receive orders faster than those lacking the advantage. Some have complained to Amazon that unscrupulous drivers have found a way to rig the company’s delivery dispatch system.

On a sweltering summer afternoon in West Texas, a cryptocurrency miner backed by billionaire Peter Thiel powered down its data-processing centers for about 30 minutes. During that short window, the company made money not from Bitcoin, but from selling electricity. On hot days without wind, the company, Layer1, can sell its contracted power supplies back into the grid for a profit. Recently, when power prices in Texas topped $200 a megawatt-hour, Layer1 reaped returns of more than 700%, according to its founder and chief executive officer, Alexander Liegl. At night, as power prices drop to zero or lower due to the oversupply of wind energy, it can throttle up operations as much as the circuit boards can handle. When that happens, “we’re getting paid to produce Bitcoins,” Liegl said.The strategy is part of a trend that's revolutionizing how big electricity users interact with the grid. Instead of just passively consuming, tech giants and others are adjusting their operations hour by hour to access the cheapest, and in some cases cleanest, power. The move isn’t just profitable — it’s key to using more renewable energy. Currently, grids rely on natural gas and other fossil fuels to ramp up when demand peaks. When big users adjust consumption, wind and solar can handle more of the load.
