From an msm.com article by Ashley R. Williams, in my own words. Feeling sorry for yourself? Aubrey Sauvie, twelve, was born with no arms below her elbows and a partially amputated left foot. She’s a black belt and she’s learning to play drums, prostheses fashioned by pros. First photo from CNN/Google images, second from GI:

Not liberal enough. Headline from nypost.com: “AOC, Bernie Sanders dubbed ‘sellouts’ by far-left group at NYC Jamaal Bowman rally for not being pro-Palestinian enough.” Were Samuel Beckett still living, he would have plenty of material for his Theater of the Absurd plays.

From NYP: “US Olympic and other teams will bring their own AC units to Paris, undercutting environmental plan.” Restrictions are for regular folks, not elites.

Drop in the bucket. Headline from newsmax.com: “79,000 DACA Recipients Had Arrest Records.” No problem.

More from the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. Photo by Andrés Kudacki/AP, posted at theguardian.com:

Four the fourth straight session of the Anti-Inflation Book Shop there were virtually no sales until the final few minutes. My thanks to Tania, who donated three hardcovers in Russian, and to the gentleman who bought Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling; and to the one who purchased box sets of The Godfather series and American Gangster (2007). Photo from GI:
