So the CNN Homecoming Concert in Central Park isn't for TRUMP

No reinstatement today?
I’ve been busy since just before noon but I don’t see anything on the Google news.

That lady judge he appointed backed up a mask mandate. It’s like she was just teasing Trump that they didn’t convene to vote him back in office 9-0.

Man, he can’t get a break these days.

The number of White people in the U.S. fell for first time since 1790, according to new data from the 2020 Census

The first detailed race and ethnicity breakdown from the 2020 count shows a country that has become more multiracial and racially and ethnically diverse especially among those 18 and under.

British Anti-Vaxxers Try Storming BBC, Attack Wrong Building Entirely

It’s Wonkette but there’s a link there to the Washington Post story on it.

A mob of angry anti-vaccine protesters tried to shut down the British Broadcasting Corporation's news operations Monday, only to be thwarted by its leaders' complete ignorance about where in London the BBC actually is these days. The protesters tried to invade Television Centre in West London, although it hasn't housed the BBC since 2013.

The Beeb moved its operations to another building, Broadcasting House, five miles away, and the Television Centre building was remodeled to house upscale apartments, a private club, some restaurants, and, yes, some TV studios owned by the BBC, but which are rented out for morning news and daytime talk shows on ITV, a completely different network. Nonetheless, the protesters showed up at the old offices to condemn the BBC for "promoting" the vaccines as a reasonable public health effort.

As to why the anti-vaxxers went to the wrong location, we can only speculate that it was some sort of homeopathic protest aimed at influencing the BBC's coverage by barging into its former offices, creating a harmonic vibration that would bring the current BBC to its knees.

Or they could just be dipshits.

BREAKING to Fox News - Tesla's don't have tail pipes 😆😆😆



"Tesla wasn't invited to the White House event," Baier said, noting that Musk had complained in a tweet.

"Why was that?" the Fox News host asked. "Was it because Tesla is not unionized?"

"We were celebrating the other day the fact that we brought together labor leadership and the leadership of many of these employers of UAW," Buttigieg explained. "Now, what we are working on in our department and what we were announcing that day was tailpipe emissions standards."

"To their credit, an all-electric company like Tesla doesn't even have tailpipes and that's an exciting thing to see too," the secretary added.

Amid a covid resurgence, a restaurant is requiring masks again — and bracing for confrontation
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/01/dallas-restaurant-mask-rules/

“This whole thing with people not wanting to mask up, we’re tired of it,” Ellen’s CEO Joe Groves said. “You can have all the political opinions you want, but when you come into this restaurant and berate an 18-year-old hostess that we have in our offices, you’ve crossed the line, and I’m tired of it.”

“We care about keeping people safe and keeping people healthy, and there are far more people that agree with us than don’t,” Groves said. “It’s just a matter of how are we willing to tackle it.”
