According to Donald Trump, idiot billionaire and face of YouTube’s popular Annoying Orange, Mexican immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally “have lots of problems” and they’re “bringing those problems to us.” He has publicly claimed that the only things undocumented immigrants have to offer the U.S. are drugs and rape, but privately Trump knows better: they can also construct shiny new hotels, like the one they’re building for Trump in Washington, D.C.

Many of us suffered a devastating blow this morning when we learned that beloved sandwich savant and Subway black card holder Jared Fogle had his home raided as part of a child porn investigation. Apparently, however, this news shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise: Back in college, Jared’s original claim to fame was loaning his classmates all the porn they could handle.

Dayna Evans · 07/06/15 03:10PM
Foo Fighters frontman, guitar guy, and defender of ye mighty chalice of the shred Dave Rock ’n Grohl took a tumble last month in Sweden that caused him to break his leg and get some surgery. We’ve all been there, some of us while working restaurant jobs or not having millions of dollars to ease the unfortunate toll we must bear at the hands of the pricey American medical system. But when a 20th-anniversary Foo Fighters concert is scheduled, a 20th-anniversary Foo Fighters concert must go on, whether Dave Grohl is in Grave Danger or not.

Leah Finnegan · 07/06/15 03:00PMThere’s nothing like a man who can dance. A man who can move his body in time. A man who can tap his toes on the sidewalk and belt out a ballad! I love men like this. Consequently I have dated many gay men.
Churlish Theatergoer Tries to Plug iPhone Into Broadway Set
Jay Hathaway · 07/06/15 02:45PM
Most people attend a Broadway show with the understanding that cellphones aren’t allowed, you should turn them off, and you won’t need them for the next couple of hours. Most, but not all. Not the guy who tried to plug his iPhone into the set (which is located on the actual stage, to which the entire audience is directing its attention) just before a recent performance of Hand to God.

On the Confederate flag controversy: “Now come all these self-righteous liberals from cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Washington, doing what the Charleston shooter failed to do — sowing division and discord where none exist.”—Marc Thiessen, a white Republican who grew up in Manhattan and works in Washington.
What the Hell Is Going on With Seamless
Gabrielle Bluestone · 07/06/15 02:30PM
Seamless, the once-simple and reliable food delivery app, has undergone an unwanted and ill-advised redesign. Archived orders? Gone. A user-friendly interface? L-O-L. A functioning website? Depends on how you define “functioning.” Fare thee well, Seamless and burn in hell: you’ve ruined a good thing for absolutely no reason.

Max Read · 07/06/15 01:52PM
Thomas Piketty, the French economist and author of Capital in the 21st Century (reviewed here by A Dog), has given an searing interview about the European debt crisis to the German newspaper Die Zeit. (Hamilton Nolan has written it up here.) Unfortunately, the only English translation, an unofficial one posted to Medium by Gavin Schalliol, has since been taken down.
