Sweet mother, I cannot weave – slender Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl.

Donald Trump has come under fire from many people for suggesting American troops in Iraq stole money. Now one of those vets who actually handled the money, Corbin Reiff, is speaking out. Trump recent screw ups have begun to take their toll on his popularity and poll numbers.

You also need to know that Renee Elise Goldsberry is 45. (I would have guessed 35, and only that because I know her as Evangeline from One Life To Live and that was a while ago, so I had a frame of reference.) And the reason that’s relevant is: She gave a very emotional speech about how she, essentially, spent what the industry tells women are their Prime Acting Years trying to have children (she ultimately gave birth to one, and adopted one). In acknowledging that she got both the family AND the Tony for which she wished, she was expressing gratitude for her blessings, but also giving a poignant nod to the fact that women SHOULD be told that their prime career years are, in fact, ALL OF THEIR YEARS. Every last damn one of them. (To wit, Jayne Houdyshell, who won for featured role in a play, is 62.) We do not expire when we hit 30, or 35, or anything beyond it. We ripen. WORK.

Apparently Clinton wants to “get back into the spirit of 9/12.” Which, if anyone recalls, was a fucking terrible, frightening time to be anywhere in America where you weren’t one of the masses jacking off to war drums. I can’t believe anyone with a clue thinks it’s been long enough that this is a thing you can say without irony. What 19 year old intern contributed that line?

Igor Volsky, Deputy Director of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, spent much of yesterday calling out our lawmakers who claim to have thoughts and prayers for the Orlando victims but accepted money from the NRA. Ted Cruz’s tweet may have been the most hypocritical of all.

We blindfolded 15 homophobes and asked them to hit piñatas with a stick. The piñatas were actually deadly Asian giant hornet nests. What happens next will warm your heart.

If you don’t understand why people don’t like the big bang theory, once in an episode the cast was at a comic store browsing and a woman walked in, and one of the leads said “Is she lost?” and that was the joke.

Why is it in Germany you can’t go a hundred yards without appropriately seeing a marker where Jewish families were taken to their death, but in the South you can’t walk a hundred yards without seeing a monument to men who defended slavery? In America, racial tensions have never been repaired. Never even been addressed.

Are you KIDDING me

Not Famous Enough? Navajo Nation Loses Urban Outfitters Case

The largest tribe in the United States could not prove it was “famous” enough to win a trademark case against the hipster fashion giant.

The Navajo Nation lost two counts in a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Urban Outfitters because the tribe’s trademark is not “famous” enough, the court siding with the fashion giant’s argument that “Navajo” is a generic term for a style or design.

The Indigenous tribe—the largest in the United States—had to prove that the term “Navajo” is “widely recognized by the general consuming public of the United States” to move forward with the trademark dilution case, which few courts have been able to prove, said New Mexico’s District Judge Bruce Black on Friday.

No you don’t understand how frustrated I am that we always depicted the Apostles as old men, especially when it comes to during-Jesus-alive stuff.

They were probably late teens to early 20s, given the time and the description and some Biblical passages.

They were not ancient old men with long beards and wrinkles at the Last Supper.

They were young adult rebels with a cause.
