Fitness influencer banned from flight for attempting to board ‘naked’ amid record-breaking heatwave
Edda Elisa, a fetching fitness influencer from Germany, was denied entry on a Lufthansa flight after a gate agent allegedly accused her of being “naked” as a “catastrophic” heatwave plagues Europe.
Elisa is fetching, but time and place do matter.
The gate agent is maintaining standards for public behavior, and Lufthansa should back her up.
Let’s be honest.
Be the person your dog thinks you are.
That’s my advice for people, and for countries. This is America’s 250th anniversary. Everybody else is saying something about it, so I thought I should. I’ve got nothing profound, just a bunch of little thoughts.
If you haven’t seen this, then you live like a normal person in the real world.
I have no interest in women’s basketball, but this incident is fascinating to watch. I didn’t do a deep dive, but nobody is providing a convincing explanation.
I had an exchange student from Brazil. Every couple of weeks when we had some free time, he would describe to the class some aspect of life in Brazil.
Britain braces for hottest June day on record
She seems nice. Probably a druid or some other kind of pagan.
The article says that it may hit 38o C in England this week. For countries that landed a man on the moon, that’s about 100o F.
Sparky wants to play Juneteenth Charadethes.
Do we have to say it like that?
“Yup”
Sparky explains that for Juneteenth Charadethes, you have to act out a notable Black character. Sparky went first.
The way he was licking his chops, I had a pretty good idea.
On Morning Edition, NPR was talking about Juneteenth. It’s a big deal. They predicted that highway traffic may be reduced because everybody is off for the federal holiday. I was going to go to Aldi today, I should check if they have reduced hours.
Since Sparky is half Black, I wanted to do something special, but NPR was vague on the Juneteenth traditions. Breakfast in bed is always welcome and appropriate, so I went with that.
Here is my Gay Pride contribution.
When staging Verdi’s opera, Il Trovatore, in Los Angeles, it makes so much sense to get the ripped gay guys for The Anvil Chorus.
The RSVP online is a big improvement. Along with the response tab, there are additional tabs for the registry, travel arrangements and the couple’s backstory.
Is it typical for a wedding invitation to offer guidance on proper attire?
Activists Try to Remove 2,000 Beagles from Wisconsin Research Facility
On Saturday, April 18, at 8:52 am, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately 1000 activists converging on Ridglan Farms in the town of Blue Mounds.
This looks like a war zone. I adore beagles, but these chaotic people are violent thugs. If they had succeeded, they weren’t going to flee the scene with a beagle under each arm. The beagles would have been released into the wild to be eaten by coyotes or face some other grim death.
