While President Donald Trump is trying to remove protections for transgender youth who want to use bathrooms that match their gender identities, Yelp is taking a step in the opposite direction to ensure the transgender community feels safe when deciding which businesses to patronize.
Over the next few weeks the popular ratings and review website plans to roll out business pages that will include information about whether establishments offer gender neutral bathrooms, Yelp announced on Friday. The site will also allow users to search for a business with gender neutral bathrooms on the premises.

The latest short film on the Machinima Prime channel plays out a classic gamer fantasy: What if I was the main character? The film is called Game World, and it follows an ordinary joe as he gets off the couch and jumps into the world of his favorite video game. Game World stars Joaquin Pastor as Monty, an extraordinary lazy couch potato who is determined to find a secret level in his favorite 8-bit dungeon crawler. When he successfully enters the secret code, a portal opens up in his living room, inviting him to enter the titular game world. The premise may first remind web series fans of Legend of Neil, which also sent a schlubby protagonist into a video game universe. If Game World were to become a full series, its closest comparison would be Ready Player One, the award-winning novel set within various classic video games. Creator Joe Miale...

You'll be waiting for combos at this compact multiplex in the N1 centre, which makes a meal of mixing food and ticket buying
• Check out our Google map and flickr group
• Tell us where to go next
On location: Tucked away on the upper level of Islington's N1 centre, it's unusually unobtrusive for a multiplex. Plenty of eateries nearby for a quick bite beforehand, including Wagamama and Chilango (for burritos, round the corner on Upper St), and plenty of pubs and bars for a tipple after. Near the tube and a great many buses, plus you can park for free nearby after 6.30pm on weekdays, 1.30pm on Saturdays, and all day Sunday. And there's no shortage of options should you wish to stock up on externally sourced contraband snacks, with a Sainsbury's, an M&S and even a Waitrose round the corner.
Crowd scene: Relatively young on the whole (that means 20s and 30s,...

Michael Moore has nominated Matt Damon as a candidate for the Us presidency
The big story
My fellow cine-fans: The 45th president of the United States of America. The Commander in Chief of the Us air force, army and navy. The new, new hope. Matt Damon.
At least, if Michael Moore had his way. The rambunctious documentary director tipped the Bourne franchise star for the 2012 Democratic ticket earlier this week, describing Damon's stance against Barack Obama's administration as "courageous".
"If you wanna win, the Republicans have certainly shown the way: that when you run someone who is popular, you win," Moore told firedoglake.com. "Sometimes even when you run an actor, you win. I only throw his name out there because I'd like us to start thinking that way ..."
