NYC pups in cute and creative costumes for annual Halloween Dog ParadeNew York City's annual Halloween Dog Parade almost didn't happen because of problems with insurance. But sponsors saved the fun event in which hundreds of canines compete in front of thousands of spectators. This year's festivities took place at the East River Park Amphitheater rather than its traditional home, Tompkins Square Park in the city's East Village neighborhood. Despite these shakeups, the dogs' outfits were just as adorable and imaginative as ever. (Michael Walsh/Yahoo News)

Elon Musk says tweet which cost him $20m was 'worth it'Elon Musk has said the tweet that cost him $20m (£15.5m) in fines by US Securities and Exchange Commissions was "worth it".

The tweets, which were found to have no basis according to regulators, caused market fluctuation and as a result, the SEC charged Musk for "misleading investors".

N.

The director of the Pyongyang Friendship Hospital -- which treated Warmbier -- slammed the claims as a "total distortion of the truth" in a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency late Saturday.

A Blue Ripple in Georgia?

A Blue Ripple in Georgia?Griffin, Ga. — "Life happens," Stacey Abrams instructs a small but boisterous crowd in a sun-drenched park south of Atlanta. In her campaign to be the first Democrat elected Georgia's governor since 1998, and America's first African-American female governor, she, even more than most Democrats, is depending on "low-propensity voters," prodding to the polls many who have rarely voted in midterm elections. Chatting on her campaign bus, she exudes Yale Law School and the University of Texas's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, fluent about issues and droll about her mother's reaction to "my trajectory of downward economic mobility" when she left the practice of law to enter politics, rising to be minority leader of the state house of representatives.

Viral clip of Donald Trump and his umbrella is a metaphor for his whole presidency

Posted: 28 Oct 2018 10:36 AM PDT

Viral clip of Donald Trump and his umbrella is a metaphor for his whole presidencyDonald Trump did more than just play the victim-blaming game after Saturday's horrific synagogue shooting. He also abandoned an umbrella as he climbed aboard Air Force One. In a clip that quickly went viral, Trump is seen walking up the stairs leading to his presidential jet, umbrella in hand. As he reaches the door, Trump's hand drops lower and lower until the umbrella is scraping the floor. Seconds later, he ditches it entirely and disappears into the plane. Unbelievable — Trump doesn't know how to close an umbrella, so inside of closing it and bringing it aboard Air Force One with him, he just dropped it outside the plane. pic.twitter.com/G5AtmPaRvz — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 27, 2018 SEE ALSO: Donald Trump's election was a 'traumatic experience' for many college students If video shares are any indication, the American public loves seeing Trump play the part of a buffoon. Probably because those moments offer a momentary distraction from the fact the he's still the U.S. president.  And so it went that this video surfaced and many in the Twitter peanut gallery seized on the most obvious angle for razzing the president: LOL Trump can't close an umbrella. Which, fair! He doesn't close that umbrella.  Tip: if you're gonna to join a cult try to find one where the leader knows how to close an umbrellaTrump today.When you can't figure it out, just drop it pic.twitter.com/Ksw1m8LtEr — ☇RiotWomenn☇ (@riotwomennn) October 27, 2018 But there's more going on here. See, this whole ditching of the umbrella is a metaphor. Right? Trump is TrumpThe plane is moneyThe umbrella is our well being https://t.co/JCkkrhS69v — amber ruffin (@ambermruffin) October 27, 2018 This umbrella is violence in the USA. Trump built it up, left it at the door, and then calmly just walked away from it while it does it's thing... https://t.co/AufsxLTXKt — Charlie McEwan (@CharMcew) October 27, 2018 Metaphor alert. Trump cannot close his umbrella as he boards his plane. Just leaves it there. An upturned, abandoned umbrella, rolling about in the wind. pic.twitter.com/4mOsSdfkz2 — SimonNRicketts (@SimonNRicketts) October 27, 2018 Personally, I look at this viral umbrella clip and see a perfect reflection of the man we've come to know since he settled into the Oval Office. Trump is in this for no one other than himself (and maybe his family, I guess). He plays to his base and riles progressives to maintain chaos. He proposes destructive policies with an eye toward lining his pockets.  He's not here to "own the libs" specifically, but doing so is useful sleight of hand. It keeps his voting base focused on the vague idea of an enemy at home, rather than the politicians who continue to grift their way around Washington's as-yet-undrained swamp. And now we have this umbrella. A useful tool in the moment as Trump holds it over his head to shield himself from the rain. Then, once he gets to the moment of boarding Air Force One, he drops the umbrella without any care or thought. It's just an umbrella, his defenders will no doubt scream. And they're right, it is. But the lack of regard shown in this one instance says so much about the man who was carrying that umbrella.  Sometimes things go viral because they're cute, or horrifying, or incredible, or in some other way highly noteworthy. And sometimes they just resonate with the moment. On a day when the nation and the world were focused on the horrors unfolding in Pittsburgh, Trump's stupid umbrella moment resonated. WATCH: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It's an inflatable Trump baby flying around London

Shooting triggers lockdowns, then locked arms in Pittsburgh communityThe gunshots that tore through a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday first triggered lockdowns in houses of worship across the city. Following the deadliest attack ever on the Jewish community in the United States, residents rushed to provide comfort, give blood, organize vigils and bring therapy dogs to a Jewish community center. The Tree of Life synagogue, where 11 people were killed by a gunman who burst into a morning service, is home to three congregations in Squirrel Hill, the heart of Pittsburgh's tight-knit Jewish community.

Recreational pot measure has high interest in North DakotaBISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Backers of legalizing marijuana in North Dakota have high hopes that voters will approve the drug's use for anyone old enough to drink alcohol. But they could be in for a bummer because opponents have spent far more money against the proposal. Critics say it would mean big problems for law enforcement and society. It comes as North Dakota still is setting up a medical marijuana system that voters approved by a wide margin two years ago.
