• Wendy’s says it will continue to offer its Frosty dessert for $1 through the end of the month.
• Her advertising was directed against McDonald’s and accused the competitor of breaking the ice cream machines.
• Wendy’s has previously criticized McDonald’s for using frozen beef, leading to a public feud.

The feud between Wendy’s and McDonald’s appears to be heating up again.

This week, Wendy’s took aim at its fast-food competitor by announcing that it would continue to serve its small $1 Frosty dairy dessert through the end of the month.

The Frosty “was the go-to sweet treat when fans had cravings while the other guys’ ice cream machines were offline – often for two to three hours at a time,” the chain wrote.

To promote the deal, Wendy’s said it has partnered with the website McBroken.com, which tracks whether the ice cream machine McFlurries makes breaks down at a customer’s local McDonald’s.

Without directly naming McDonald’s, Wendy’s said, “The craving for a sweet treat can strike at any time, but if fans plan to order from the others, they may want to avoid lunch or snack time…or really any time between 11 a.m..” .” and 3 p.m., when machines are most often unavailable, according to McBroken.com.”

It’s not the first battle the restaurant chains have waged.

In 2018, Wendy’s launched a national TV advertising campaign criticizing McDonald’s for using frozen beef patties in its hamburgers.

“The iceberg that sank the Titanic was also frozen,” the fast food outlet said in a Super Bowl commercial featuring McDonald’s beef.

McDonald’s then announced that it would make its quarter-pound burgers with fresh beef in U.S. stores.

This sparked a public backlash from Wendy’s.

“Hey @McDonalds, heard the news,” the rival posted on social media. “Happy #NationalFrozenFoodDay for all that frozen beef stuck in your cheeseburgers.”

Wendy’s and McDonald’s did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s requests for comment outside of normal business hours.

The Xbox September Update is here, bringing a host of new features and changes to the Xbox experience on PC, mobile and consoles.

The most important new feature is the ability to pre-download a game’s upcoming updates on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One. This means that on the day the update is released, you don’t have to go through a long download, but you can start taking action straight away.

This could be an absolute game changer, especially for live service games that often receive a lot of new content. Unfortunately, the feature is currently only supported in a few select titles. The latest Xbox Wire blog post lists Sea of ​​Thieves, Minecraft, And Cassette beasts below, but says to “expect many more titles to support it soon.”

If you want to try this feature, make sure your Xbox is up to date and then go to the My Games and Apps window. From there, click on “Manage” and “Updates”. This gives you an advance overview of all updates for your library that are available for download.

There are also changes to the Wishlist system, which will now notify you when a game you want is released, added to Xbox Game Pass, or available to try for free during a Free Play Day promotion. If you are not a fan of this change, please note that you can turn off these notifications in your notification settings.

The Xbox mobile app is also being revised. Features of the separate Xbox Game Pass app will be integrated, although this application will no longer be available for download in November. This means that with the Xbox app you can finally manage your Xbox Game Pass membership and browse the Xbox Game Pass catalog in one place.

Finally, Game Bar Compact Mode is now rolling out for PC gamers. This mode is specifically optimized for smaller displays and handhelds, which is good news if you own something like the Asus Rog Ally X.

Some improved game management features will also be available for the Xbox app on PC. This includes the ability to easily view and install add-ons, as well as some interface changes that make it easier to keep track of everything that’s installed. Considering how bad the Xbox app is on the platform, small improvements like this can only be a good thing.

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to fire a communications professor who wanted to keep his job after he was fired as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for producing pornographic films.

Joe Gow, who served as UW-La Crosse’s chancellor for nearly 17 years, argued last week that he should retain a teaching position on campus. But the university’s lawyers argued that he behaved unethically, violated the terms of his employment contract, damaged the university’s reputation and compromised its mission.

The regents met in closed session Friday morning before publicly voting to fire Gow. There was no public discussion before the board vote.

Gow said he is considering filing a lawsuit to keep his teaching job. He did not immediately respond to a message Friday morning.

Gow has been on paid leave from his faculty position since the regents fired him as chancellor in 2023, shortly after university leadership became aware of the videos posted on pornographic websites.

The case has drawn national attention both for the salaciousness of a high-ranking university official making and speaking publicly about pornographic films and for the questions it raises about free speech rights.

Gow argued that his videos and two e-books that he and his wife Carmen published about their experiences in adult films were protected by the First Amendment. The university’s attorney argued that Gow’s videos themselves were legal, but that they were not protected by his employment contract.

Zach Greenberg, an attorney with the free speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, called the regents’ decision “a major blow to academic freedom and the right to free expression.”

“FIRE has said time and time again: Public universities cannot sacrifice the First Amendment to protect their reputations,” Greenberg said. “We are disappointed that the UW has caved to donors and politicians by alienating a tenured professor.”

Republican lawmakers already view Wisconsin’s university system as a liberal incubator. Last year they forced the company to scale back its diversity initiatives. System President Jay Rothman has tried to avoid further angering conservatives as he seeks approval for an $855 million increase in the next state budget.

Gow’s hope of teaching in the classroom again was rejected by his department head, Linda Dickmeyer. She said that because Gow had not taught in 20 years, he would be assigned general education courses, but she declined to allow him to return to teaching in any capacity.

Gow was criticized in 2018 for inviting porn actress Nina Hartley to speak on campus. She received $5,000 from tuition fees for her performance. The university said he came up with the idea of ​​bringing her to campus after filming a pornographic video with her.

Gow and his wife’s e-books were written under the pseudonyms “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enhances Our Relationships” and “Married with Benefits – Our Real Adventures in the Adult Industry.” But they also star in a YouTube channel called “Sexy Healthy Cooking,” in which the couple cooks meals with porn actors.

Dame Maggie reprized her role in the two Downton Abbey films. In 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era, her character died from the illness she revealed at the end of the 2019 film.

Co-star Dame Harriet Walter said on BBC Radio 4’s PM program that she excelled in both comedy and drama.

“She was a real comedian, but I also saw her play some incredibly heartfelt, deep and sad roles, which is the breadth of an actress like her,” she said.

“If she had been just funny or just tragic, she wouldn’t have made quite the impression.”

Michelle Dockery, who played Dame Maggie’s on-screen granddaughter Lady Mary Crawley, told the BBC: “There was no one like Maggie.”

“I am very lucky to have met such an outsider. We will miss her very much and my thoughts are with her family.”

Lesley Nicol, who played Downton Abbey chef Mrs Patmore, told BBC Radio Ulster: “It’s a very close group of people so we’re all devastated to think they’re no longer there is.”

Downton Abbey creator and writer Julian Fellowes told Variety magazine., external she was “a joy to write for, subtle, complex, intelligent, funny and heartbreaking”.

Downton followed on from the success of the 2002 period drama Gosford Park, which earned Dame Maggie both Oscar and Bafta nominations for the role of the Dowager Countess of Trentham.

“I feel like I’m keeping my mom alive, and that’s what she taught me,” Lattanzi said. “You and I both suffered from different ailments, but we both wanted to help others who suffered from what we suffered. I’m similar to her in that way. And I don’t believe there is a greater purpose than being of service to and connecting with other living beings, whether human or animal.
