LAKEWOOD, Colo. — A popular Colorado landmark has filed for bankruptcy amid the crippling COVID-19 crises. Casa Bonita has filed for Chapter 11 protection.

The documents did not specify the exact amount of debt the company owes. However, the filing states that the company’s noncontingent liquated debts are below $7.5 million. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing offers a business time to reorganize their debts, not necessarily close for good. Casa Bonita has been closed during the pandemic, but recently announced that they would be reopening soon. No additional details were provided. CASA BONITA: The definitive guide to C...

Travis Barker is done keeping it PG while talking about girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian. In a recent photo he shared of himself playing the drums, the Blink-182 member included a very NSFW caption that was definitely about the reality star. “All day I dream about sex w/ you,” the drummer wrote. He also tagged Kardashian in the post, proving that subtlety isn’t his strong suit. While nothing could’ve prepared us for Barker’s unexpected and steamy caption, the 45-year-old drummer has made it very clear in recent weeks that his relationship with the Poosh founder is serious. On April 9, for example, People reported that the musician was photographed with a “Kourtney” tattoo located above his left nipple. It’s also likely that this is not the only tattoo that Barker has gotten in Kardashian’s h
Read MoreAmanda Northrop/VoxThe goal to protect 30 percent of the Earth is more arbitrary than you might think. Right now, in the conservation movement, a lot of people are fixated on a single number: 30. The US and more than 50 other countries have pledged to conserve 30 percent of their land and water by 2030 as a means to help thwart the biodiversity crisis. Biodiversity tends to increase with the area of land or water conserved, yet just 16 percent of global land is in protected areas today (in the US, it’s closer to 12 percent), according to the World Database on Protected Areas. Intact ecosystems also play a major role in mitigating climate change. As conservationists have recognized the importance of protecting rich ecosystems before they’re bulldozed, drained, deforested, or abandoned, “30

"Have you ever seen anybody that is so full of crap?" Trump said of Fauci, according to the Post, which cited an attendee at the event.

The star eventually won the show in a tense final, beating her ‘Circle girlfriend’ to the £100,000 prize fund by appearing as paratrooper Felix. However, despite playing an incredible game, she told Metro.co.uk that there was a point she was very tempted to go home over the deception. ‘That day that Scott [Nanna Dot] came, I thought this won’t be worth it for how I’m feeling mentally,’ she said. ‘But there’s also a psychiatrist on call, she’s a lovely woman. She always talks to you and she puts it into perspective. ‘Because when you’re in there, you start to overthin
Read MoreTucker Carlson is repeatedly using his platform to downplay white supremacy and violence, critics say
Summary List PlacementIn the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot, America's conservative movement faced a reckoning. Rep. Liz Cheney, a leading voice on the GOP's moderate wing, called on Republicans to "make clear that we aren't the party of white supremacy." She pushed her party to reject the ideology espoused by some of the Donald Trump supporters who had attacked the seat of US democracy. Yet on Fox News' top-rated show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the host went on to take a very different approach. Carlson has sought to downplay the threat from white nationalism, while also, say critics, continuing to push white nationalist narratives about migration and liberal elites. In comments on his show last week Carlson appeared to endorse the white nationalist Great Replacement conspiracy ...

Summary List PlacementAfter an awkward exchange of letters between Apple and two Senators, the tech giant said Sunday that it would send an exec to an antitrust hearing scheduled for later this month. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Mike Lee wrote to Apple CEO Tim Cook Friday, after the company reportedly refused to make anyone available for a hearing on competition in mobile-app stores. "A little more than two weeks before the planned hearing, Apple abruptly declared that it would not provide any witness," the senators wrote. "Apple's sudden change in course to refuse to provide a witness to testify ... is unacceptable." Apple said in a letter Sunday there had been a mistake, and that it had only been trying to ask for different dates. Read more: Clubhouse cofounder Paul Davison had another h...
