Update – TECHNOLOGY NEWS

If U.S. President Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to close Twitter, the micro-blogging site can always relocate to Germany.

After Trump threatened to shut down Twitter for advising its users to fact-check his tweets, a senior German official suggested in a light-hearted tweet that the California-based company would be better off in Europe.

“This is an invitation to move to Germany!” Thomas Jarzombek, Berlin’s point person for the startup economy, tweeted on Thursday.

“Here you are free to criticize the government as well as to fight fake news. We have a great startup and tech ecosystem, your company would be a perfect fit and I will open any doors for you!”

Trump is expected to order a legal review after objecting to Twitter’s handling of tweets by the president that made unsubstantiated claims about fraud in mail-in voting. In a first, the company issued an advisory on Wednesday to check the facts on Trump’s tweets.

Jarzombek’s offer contrasts with Germany’s frequently testy relationship with U.S. social media giants, which face fines of up to 50 million euros ($55 million) if they fail to quickly remove hateful content from their sites.

But Europe’s largest economy is also keen to establish itself as a hub for tech entrepreneurship and Twitter Inc would be the ultimate catch.

These upcoming Air Jordan 1 Lows should resonate with all the sneakerheads out there, considering they are dressed in the OG “Varsity Red” colorway from 1985.

Taking cues from the Air Jordan 1 Hi 85 “Varsity Red” released back in February, the Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” features a black leather base with “Varsity Red” leather overlays dressing the toe cap, heel, lace guard and midsection. Elsewhere a red Jumpman insignia is spotlighted on the tongue, while a black ball-and-wings logo is found on the heel. This all sits atop a white midsole and red outsole.

The Air Jordan 1 Low “Varsity Red” is expected to release in the upcoming weeks at select Nike retailers and nike.com for $90. For more AJ1 Lows, check out the recently surfaced “Neon Orange” colorway.

Update – Who’d have thought it.

Conor McGregor welcomes Kim Kardashian to his family as he finds they’re ‘related and descendants of Scottish royalty’

BELIEVE it or not, Conor McGregor is a distant relative of Kim Kardashian 

The UFC superstar, 31 – who retired for a third time earlier this month– appeared to enjoy the news and tweeted his approval, saying: “Welcome to the family.”

Kardashian’s mum Kris Jenner has ancestry from Scotland and is related to outlaw and folk hero Robert Roy MacGregor — a huge figure and member of one of Scotland’s oldest clans.

The rebel and cattle thief died in 1734 aged 63, was part of the Jacobite rising of 1689 and took part in the Battle of Glen Shiel in 1719.

Nobleman MacGregor was depicted in the 1995 film Rob Roy, starring Liam Neeson.

According to the Daily Record, that gives the pair a link to legendary first King of Scots Kenneth MacAlpin.

Kardashian’s sister Kourtney named her daughter Penelope Scotland Disick in 2012 — an apparent acknowledgement to their heritage north of the Hadrian’s Wall.

CAN’T PICT YOUR FAMILY

The Kardashians are famously proud of their Armenian heritage on the paternal side and Kim, 38, condemned denials of the Armenian Genocide in 2016.

McGregor has spoken before about his ancestry — suggesting it makes him the Notorious we know him for today.

In 2016, he tweeted: “I am simply doing what my ancestors were doing long before me.”

McGregor hails from an Irish branch of the MacGregors and has spoken before of his pride in his heritage.

It’s something that is in me, it is something that my ancestors have done before me and I am simply carrying my family’s name with pride.Conor McGregor

He said in 2015: “My family originated from the Scottish highlands, they fought for their independence.

“It’s something that runs in my family’s history, I’ve become obsessed with that a little bit.

“It reiterates to me that I am on the correct path my family was on before me.

Update – Tacos, and nachos, and churros, oh my!

Nothing can stop Montrealers from getting their summertime snacks. Faced with the closure of dine-in service, El Gordo in Little Burgundy has converted into a cute little taco takeout window right on rue Notre-Dame ouest, just a few short blocks from the popular green banks of the Lachine Canal. The window is open every day of the week.

The “Tacos on the Street” counter opened in mid-May and the restaurant confirmed to MTL Blog that it will continue to serve customers even after dining rooms open in the Montreal area on June 22.

El Gordo plans to reopen its dining room, too, but hasn’t set a definitive date.

In the meantime, passersby can choose from a tasty selection of menu items.

In addition to mouthwatering tacos, the El Gordo window serves nachos, guacamole, and churros.

For $3, customers can also pick up a lemonade to complement their savoury meals. 

According to the latest Facebook post from the restaurant, takeout Corona and Modelo beers cost $6.

The window is open from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday, 2:00 p.m. to midnight Friday, 12:00 p.m. to midnight Saturday, and 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday.

It closes when it rains.

El Gordo isn’t the only Sud-Ouest institution to turn to summertime takeout service, either.

After customers scarf down their tacos and nachos, they can head west along the canal to the Riverside Bar, which has opened a special ice cream truck on a lawn on the north side of the waterway.

The bar itself is still closed (there’s no word yet on when bars can reopen), but the truck has become a popular hangout spot in a particularly beautiful stretch of the canal next to the ruins of the old Canada Malting plant.

The truck serves ice cream from Thursday to Sunday.

Get all the details on the El Gordo taco window below!

El Gordo Tacos On The Street
