Remains of the Day (06/30)

Instagram: Insane to think it's been 40 years since I bought the 12-inch import of "Cruel Summer"! Click through to see Keren and Sara watch the hilarious video after all this time.

Mehdi Hasan: 43 million Americans who were promised relief by an elected president just got screwed over by an unelected group of justices, half of whom were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote and benefited from a stolen seat. Yep. It’s all totally fine. Nothing to see here. In remarks on the court’s ruling that rejected the plan to clear $400 billion in debt, President Biden vowed to enact a relief program under a different law. 

Brian Sims: The question will be asked thousands of times today & for years going forward: How can a made up business with a made up scenario take a made up case all the way to the US Supreme Court? As a lawyer, former lawmaker and LGBTQ+ advocate the answer is: A corrupt Supreme Court!

Jimmy Destri: So this is what the original cover for Blondie's iconic "Parallel Lines" album looked like?

Saturday 'Stache: Manly Mecca 

AV Club: 'The Other Two' is over amid HR complaints. Yet another show I like that I started to quasi dread watching, a la "Younger,” “Better Things” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel." It's weird how that happens, because these shows have always been uneven but somehow they go from 70-30 good -- and highly enjoyable -- to 65-35, and suddenly that's just a bridge too far. (Finally watched finale and thought they largely stuck the landing, so am happy it ended on a good note.)

NYT Opinion: Are corporate Pride campaigns a representative of a genuine interest in diversity, inclusion and furthering the acceptance of LGBT identities, or is it rainbow washing -- an attempt at capturing the attention and business of a growing consumer demographic?

Joseph Lamour: I’m gay and I eat at Chick-fil-A. Should I feel ashamed?

WaPo: Lilli Vincenz, early activist in gay rights movement who curiously is neither trans nor a woman of color, dies at 85

Speedo Sunday: Is it even legal to walk around like that?
