Chicago's Best Detroit-Style Pizzas
Link
When Paulie Gee's made its way to Chicago in 2016, it didn't just bring the Neapolitan-style pies the Brooklyn pizzeria is known for. Owner Derrick Tung also introduced Detroit-style 'Logan Squares' to the menu, and what a good decision that turned out to be. The best-selling U.S. Pizza Cup Winner is a sweet-salty-crunchy medley of charred pepperoni cups, bacon jam, ricotta, and hot honey. As the name implies, it took home the top prize at the 2018 U.S. Pizza Cup (we won't disagree with that decision). A gluten-free version is so ridiculous that many won't be able to tell the difference and surpasses gluten-free options in the Motor City, especially the version from that popular chain.

On a spirited Saturday, the Newport Jazz Festival defies labels
Other sets, too, fell squarely inside the jazz firmament. Trumpeter Terence Blanchard (whom McBride called a 'big brother') led his band through an atmospheric set on the Quad Stage inside the Fort Adams walls, drawing on his long track record as a composer for film and television. The young British saxophonist Nubya Garcia brought her big, Sonny Rollins-inspired tone and songs from her second album, 'Odyssey,' to the main stage. And the wonderfully inventive drummer Marcus Gilmore led a band in tribute to his late grandfather, the Boston-born Advertisement That ad-hoc band featured a quartet of ringers, led by alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett and supported by two Berklee College of Music faculty members, the pianist Danilo Pérez and bassist John Patitucci.

Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festival But the congenial crowd also heard plenty of sounds that stretched the boundaries of 'traditional' jazz. There was experimental chill-out music, Quiet Storm-style neo-soul, a banging DJ set from a descendant of jazz royalty, and a 75-minute finale from headliner Janelle Monáe that was heavy on the funk. Perhaps the most welcome surprise came from the Fleck, Castañeda, Sánchez Trio, which combined the virtuosic banjo playing of the restless bluegrass mainstay Béla Fleck with the superb drummer Antonio Sánchez, and the Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda. Castañeda was a revelation. Attacking his instrument with flair and aggression, he's surely been called 'the Jimi Hendrix of the harp' elsewhere. The group call themselves the BEATrio, Sánchez explained, after their respective first-name initials. McBride and Newport Festivals Foundation executive director Jay Sweet have taken plenty of steps to acknowledge the listening habits of the younger cohort of their Newport fan base. Some in attendance seemed eager to see the mononymous Willow, the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Anchoring the last set on the Quad Stage, she and her ferocious, mostly women band tapped into '90s nostalgia and the singer's vocal range and dexterity on her latest tracks, including 'home' (co-written with Jon Batiste) and 'symptom of life.' Willow performs on Saturday at the Newport Jazz Festival. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport Jazz Festiva Wearing headphones, the young British rap/R&B singer Samm Henshaw acknowledged that he hadn't performed live in a while. 'So you're all very scary to me right now,' he joked before teeing up some new songs with the crowd-pleasing 'How Does It Feel?,' his 2018 breakthrough. Other relative newcomers included KNOWER, an experimental mashup led by a punky frontwoman (Genevieve Artadi) and a drummer (Louis Cole) who drives the band from drum-and-bass to prog metal, and Rich Ruth, the full-band project of Nashvillean multi-instrumentalist Michael Ruth. Their unusual blend, including xylophone, violin, and baritone sax, resulted in an impressionistic, spacey-slash-spiritual sound that hit a sweet spot around midday. Advertisement The jazz royalty previously mentioned was Flying Lotus, the alter ego of DJ-producer Steven Ellison, who is the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane. FlyLo, as he's known, alternated between deafening video-game glitchery and rump-shaking classics (P-Funk, Kool & the Gang, an isolated guitar rhythm that sounded like KC and the Sunshine Band) at the Fort Stage. 'I don't know if you can tell,' he boomed from atop his perch. 'I'm trying to get you all to dance.' Flying Lotus, the grandnephew of Alice Coltrane, appears at the Fort Stage of the Newport Jazz Festival on Saturday. Rich Fury/Courtesy of the Newport JAzz It worked for him. Monáe, in the day's final slot on the main stage, had to work hard to keep the crowd from streaming toward the lines for the buses and water ferries. Fronting a dapper big band, she leaned into her defiant persona (on recent tracks 'Float' and 'Champagne [expletive]') before shouting out musical greats, from Prince, Nina Simone, and Miles Davis, to Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Bits of reggae, electronica, and James Brown surfaced in her music before an inevitable encore of 'Tightrope,' her biggest hit. Fitting for the setting, she wrapped up with 'Come Alive (War of the Roses),' a song that borrows from the Cab Calloway, call-and-response era of big band jazz. 'Categorize me, I defy every label,' she'd rapped earlier in the set, on 'Q.U.E.E.N.' They could have used that as the day's tagline.

Lighting the Future: Why Gobo Projectors Are the Unexpected Stars of Outdoor Branding in 2025
Let's get one thing straight: in a world where everything is plastered on screens—from our wrists to our refrigerators—it's kind of wild that the coolest branding tool in 2025 isn't a screen at all. It's light. Specifically, gobo projectors. Yeah, I know—sounds like some sci-fi gadget Tony Stark would casually build in his garage. But trust me, these projection powerhouses are very real, very stylish, and making waves in everything from outdoor advertising to AI-driven public art. Once the domain of haunted houses and dusty theaters, gobo projectors are having a serious glow-up. They're now lighting up smart cities, festivals, eco-resorts—even the sides of entire skyscrapers. And if you're a brand trying to make an impact without building another flashy LED screen, gobo tech is the unsung hero you didn't know you needed. Let's break down the best of the best—and spoiler alert: the number one pick comes from a rising company that's absolutely crushing it right now, Innaya Store. You ever walk past a building at night and see a glowing logo so crisp it looks Photoshopped onto the wall? That was probably the HD1200. This beast of a projector is turning the game on its head—and it's no wonder people are calling it the top gobo projector of the year. It's got the kind of brightness that makes your brand visible from across the street—or across the parking lot, even if it's raining sideways. With over 4,000 lumens, interchangeable lenses, and IP65 waterproofing (translation: weather-proof beast), the HD1200 is built for serious outdoor domination. Whether you're launching a luxury car or hosting a music festival in the woods, this is the projector that makes people pull out their phones and say, 'Wait— how'd they do that ?' Honestly, if you're trying to be unforgettable, this is your move. And yes, I may have used it at my cousin's wedding. No regrets. Think of this one as your go-to SUV. It's tough, it's dependable, and while it doesn't scream for attention like the HD1200, it'll get the job done without breaking a sweat. Made with die-cast aluminum and built for long-term installs, this one's perfect for parks, festivals, and permanent installations where you just want something to work—rain or shine, night after night. Bonus: the passive cooling system means no noisy fans. Which, if you've ever tried to project next to a yoga retreat or a TED-style talk in a forest, matters . This one is huge . Literally. The GOLUX Plus 1000 can project up to 300 meters—which is basically the size of your average skyscraper or, say, a small moon (okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point). Perfect for stadiums, government buildings, or any place where subtlety isn't part of the vibe, this projector is pure spectacle. That said, it's bulky, power-hungry, and best reserved for big-budget operations. Definitely not the one you toss in the backseat for a pop-up market. Now here's one for the tree huggers and the budget watchers. The EcoBright is solar-powered, silent, and perfect for eco-resorts, smart trails, or any brand that wants to go green and glow bright. I've personally seen it used to project wayfinding signs on a national park trail at dusk—no wires, no emissions, just clean, beautiful light. Let's just say this one gets bonus points for being both sustainable and functional. It's basically the Prius of gobo projectors (if the Prius looked this cool). Here's where things get fun. The FX Series adds motion to your visuals—spinning logos, dancing arrows, animated patterns. It's not the brightest in the lineup, but it knows how to make an entrance. I saw this used to project a rotating galaxy onto a tree canopy at a night market, and I swear it made the churros taste better. For close-range activations, immersive pop-ups, and anything experiential, this is a rock-solid choice. Let's face it—people are over static billboards and 2D signage. We want interaction. We want experiences. We want to be wowed. Gobo projectors offer: Low energy use (especially with LED or solar models) (especially with LED or solar models) Easy setup and programming and programming Surprising versatility —walls, sidewalks, trees, tents, you name it —walls, sidewalks, trees, tents, you name it Major Instagram appeal And unlike LED walls, you don't need a permit, a forklift, and a team of five to get started. In an era where digital ads get blocked and attention spans are shorter than a TikTok soundbite, a glowing logo on a sidewalk just works . We're living in a time when the line between digital and physical is practically non-existent. And brands that win are the ones that create moments worth remembering. Whether it's projecting a logo onto a mountainside, lighting up a trail with real-time quotes, or turning a storefront into an interactive art piece, gobo projectors are quietly becoming one of the most powerful outdoor tools of the decade. And leading that charge? You guessed it: Innaya Store. With innovations like the HD1200 and EcoBright 50W, they're not just selling hardware—they're selling possibility. So if you're ready to light up your brand, literally—this is your sign. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Sydney Sweeney Is A Registered Republican
Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican. A viral post on X by the user @time222smoke first claimed that the actor was a registered member of the party. According to publicly available voter registration records that BuzzFeed viewed, Sydney has been registered to the Republican Party of Florida since June 2024. The news comes after Sydney faced backlash for her "great jeans" American Eagle ad, in which she said, "Genes are passed down from parent to offspring, often determining traits like eye color, personality, and even hair color. My jeans are blue." White House communications manager Steven Cheung subsequently called criticism that the ad acted as a right-wing signal for whiteness "dense liberal thinking" and 'cancel culture run amok.' Sydney previously faced criticism in 2022 for posting a series of photos from a "surprise hoedown" she'd thrown for her mother's birthday, in which guests wore MAGA-style hats and one was spotted seemingly wearing a "Blue Lives Matter" shirt. In response, Sydney said at the time, "An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions." BuzzFeed has reached out to representatives for Sydney for comment.
