Strippers discuss dancing for LA Clippers guard when he broke quarantine; Baker Mayfield didn't delete it quite fast enough; Blade Runner 2049 masks
(Incidentally, Atlanta's mayor is "Mayor Bottoms") LA Times:
Working the day shift from 3 to 9 p.m., Aries said she danced last week for Williams, a regular at the club who has a dish named after him: the “Louwill Lemon Pepper BBQ wings.”
After placing an order with the Magic City kitchen, the high-scoring Clippers guard ambled around the club, Aries said, and she was one of a few dancers who performed for him, keeping a six-foot distance.
“He tipped very well,” she said.

Prisoners once again escape from an Oklahoma jail by climbing down a rope made out of bedsheets
INMATE ESCAPE: Oklahoma City Police are assisting in searching for an inmate who escaped the county jail.— Christine Stanwood (@KOCOChristine) July 31, 2020
You can see the cloth rope from the top of the building & busted out window. | @koconews pic.twitter.com/A7tcOAGQbh
It's not even the first time this has happened:
The 13-story jail opened in 1991 west of downtown Oklahoma City and was billed as escape proof. It was not. Two months after opening, two inmates in the same week broke the block windows in their cells and used bedsheets to scale down the side of the jail undetected. Others followed.This time, one of the men, a murder defendant, was arrested several hours later. The other man, a rape defendant, fell from the rope, broke his leg, and was found "laying in the grass" a short distance away.
There's plenty of fingerpointing:
The escape also brought a renewal of the animosity between County Commissioner Kevin Calvey and the sheriff.
Calvey again blamed the sheriff for problems at the jail.
"Sheriff Taylor had the responsibility to maintain the jail, including the windows through which the inmates escaped, and Taylor failed," the commissioner said. "The legacy of Taylor's mismanagement is more fully being exposed now, and the trust management is fixing the problems as they come to light."
In response, the sheriff said, "These escapees had to cut through ... grates, and no one at the jail noticed, so how is that my fault? They hoarded bedsheets for their escape, and were free for more than an hour and Jail Trust administration didn’t even know until outside law enforcement notified them, that’s not my fault.

Charming story about three friends who adopted a wolf puppy
From a longer post:
instead of chasing squirrels when she slipped the leash, she broke the leash and killed a fucking deer once. One time we locked her in the finished and air-conditioned basement when we left for the day, because it was ten degrees cooler down there...she completely Houdini'd a steel gate, chewed the basement door in half, ripped two legs off of the dining room table upstairs out of spite, and then went to sleep watching reruns of Wishbone on TV...in the fucking basement! And I mean, who could fucking blame her--it was ten degrees cooler down there! We always brought her with us to the beach after that...just like she planned.
However despite her faults, she was also genuinely very sweet, wickedly intelligent even by dog standards, loyal and protective, gentle when she needed to be (around cats or kids), quite vocal, and highly affectionate.

from experience: if you treat your fictional M/F friendships the way they treat M/M friendships in war movies, with that kind of casual, physical, intense camaraderie, & deliberately base your character relationships on that, people will almost never misinterpret it & it's magic https://t.co/vwNF2rAXqX— Nicole Kornher-Stace (@wirewalking) July 30, 2020

"Alleged Oahu Crime Boss’ Nightclub Was A Popular Place For Political Fundraisers"
in recent years, before the nightclub was closed down, records show, some of Hawaii’s most recognizable politicians — including Hawaii Gov. David Ige, state Sen. Donna Mercado Kim and former Honolulu City Councilman Trevor Ozawa — used the club to hold lucrative political fundraisers.
...
M Nightclub’s status as a dangerous place was well known.
...
Just a few months later, in December 2016, Ozawa would again have dealings with [the alleged crime boss], this time over Christmas tree lights that he had strung up in a public park to honor his son, ... who had died in a car accident that occurred the year before.
[The alleged crime boss] is now accused by federal prosecutors of orchestrating the murder of [his son]’s friend...who was in the vehicle with him at the time of the crash and who [the alleged crime boss] incorrectly believed was behind the wheel at the time.
"Taylor Swift Remains Silent as Fans Doxx and Harass Music Critic Over ‘Folklore’ Review"
"the 8.0 numerical score that accompanied [Pitchfork's] review—a metric determined not by the reviewer, but from multiple staffers’ ratings—threatened to drag down the album’s aggregated Metacritic score."
The Federalist pivots to the problem is Trump; QAnon is big business for Etsy; Ned Stark was the perfect politician for the Trump era

What's the necessity for the Retro Hugos again...?
It's not as if these titles don't already dominate discourse making it difficult for us newbies to ever achieve 'classic' status.
Because I'm tired of racists and bigots.
The thing that bums me out about the retro Hugos is that they're a great opportunity to highlight and celebrate work that didn't originally get the recognition it deserved (like oh say due to racism and misogyny) but instead we're not doing that.— Annalee (@LeeFlower) July 30, 2020
