- Who's on the cover of the Rolling Stone? My man Lin-Manuel Miranda. Good article, too.
- The Q&A is even better. Quote about Trump's wall that bears repeating: “It's such a malignant form of a very common American electoral disease, which is, 'Point at the newest people here and say they're the reason you're broke.' That's as old as time itself. That's 'Irish Need Not Apply.'”
Oh yeah. Looks like Lin will also be in the Mary Poppins sequel. Feed the birds, bro.- And talk about worlds colliding: One of my favorite writers on my favorite musical.
- Ken Griffey Jr. talks about the best play he ever made. I remember this one; I saw it on TV.
- Speaking of: June 2 is a big day for the Mariners: 1) day we signed Junior in '87; 2) day he retired in 2010; 3) Randy's no-no in '90; and, this year, the biggest comeback in M's history.
- Documentarian Robert B. Weide responds to Ronan Farrow's demand for journalistic accountability w/Woody Allen by asking some pretty tough, straightforward questions of Ronan Farrow.
- Can't believe this story isn't bigger: At Trump University, sales people were encouraged to separate people from their money. Think of it as academic subprime mortgage loans. One confidential instruction read, “Let them know you've found an answer to their problems.” *Cough*
- At least John Oliver is on it.
- Must read of the week: Frank Rich on the parallels between Trump now and Reagan in the spring of 1980. Before everything went to hell.
