• There was a big effort yesterday to express outrage about a guy on Survivor who outed another guy as transgendered. Come on. The show is taped and edited and packaged. It's not like he blurted it out on live TV. This was all calculated.
• An officer in Georgia was fired after walking up and kicking a handcuffed African-American who was on the ground in the head. (Video) Edit: Link fixed.

• Canada took the first steps yesterday to legalize weed. For the whole country.

• Does Trump ever see son Barron?
• I'll admit, I don't know what "currency manipulator" means. At least I'm not the only one: 
  
• A loyal reader sent me a link to TMZ obtaining pictures of the Official Liberally Lean Girl on the beach in Hawaii. 
• Pretty big fire to an extension of the Bellagio hotel in Vegas last night. (Video)
• The U.S. screwed up yesterday and killed 18 friendly Syrian soldiers who were fighting ISIS.
