Wait, seven months? Last November, U.S. Park Police shot and killed Bijan Ghaisar after he lead them on a chase in his Jeep Cherokee. Seven(!) months later, investigators are returning to the crime scene to comb for clues. Doesn’t make any sense.
Dogs so woke. I can’t stand when people politicize their pets. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence on social media. But creating a social media account for a dog that barks at racism? Probably not the best way to spend one’s time, but what happens when your fans don’t agree that the thing you’re barking at is racism? That’s what two anonymous Twitter users found out recently when their digital dog barked at a news account of a black woman who was assaulting people, while yelling that she hates white people. Soooo woke.
Ask Mike Warren anything! Earlier today, senior writer Mike Warren did a Reddit AMA, taking questions from internet strangers. Do check it out.
Dorm buddies! A Democratic lawmaker is pushing for the government to fund dormitories for members of the House. What could go wrong? Just don’t forget your shower slippers!

You guys just don’t know anything about fashion! It’s just a jacket. In D.C., on a day when it’s nearly 90 degrees.
Is the EU banning memes? Potentially. As The Outline reports: “The decision came as part of the approval process for the innocuously named “Article 13,” which would require larger sites to scan all user uploads using content recognition technology in an attempt to flag any and all remotely copyrighted material in photos, text, music, videos, and more.” Memes can be overdone, sure, but this seems a little heavy handed.
Ximena Barreto is not sorry. The HHS official who has somehow kept her job after a series of inappropriate social media comments were discovered, has kept at it with the conspiracies. Why she was hired in the first place is puzzling. Why she wasn’t fired the first time is concerning. And why she still has a job today is a disgrace. Why can’t this administration hire normal people?
