Dancing video of star Democrat lights up Twitter
WASHINGTON — An attempt to discredit new US congresswoman and leftist poster child Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a video of her dancing as a student backfired spectacularly, triggering eye rolls and a barrage of whimsical memes. The 30-second clip of a younger Ocasio-Cortez, now 29, strutting her stuff on the roof of a building quickly went viral on social media — but the troll attempt fell flat, with users rushing to praise rather than shame her. "Well, @AOC is officially done. She'll never recover from the world seeing her... (watches video) ...dancing adorably and having fun with her friends in high school?" tweeted the comedian Patton Oswalt, tongue-in-cheek. The edited clip that began circulating widely shows an upbeat Ocasio-Cortez twirling and hamming it up for the...

For him, teaching a new generation is a matter of survival for the tradition."I don't want Lakhon Khol ... to go extinct," Sun Rithy told Reuters. Lakhon Khol was...

Record $3.1 million paid in New Year's tuna auction
TOKYO — A Japanese sushi entrepreneur paid a record $3.1 million for a giant tuna Saturday as Tokyo's new fish market, which replaced the world-famous Tsukiji late last year, held its first pre-dawn New Year's auction. Bidding stopped at a whopping 333.6 million yen for the enormous 278-kilogram (612-pound) fish — an endangered species — that was caught off Japan's northern coast. Self-styled "Tuna King" Kiyoshi Kimura paid the top price, which doubled the previous record of 155 million yen also paid by him in 2013. "It's the best tuna.
