First press release I received re newcomer Britney: “At 16, Britney Spears enjoys being a girl.” (Image by Matthew Rettenmund)

Today, via Zoom, Britney Spears finally spoke out directly about her controversial conservatorship. I am not a fan of hers — I've never found her compelling on any level. In person, she was very nice, and I later had a weird business meeting with her that, in light of her current situation, is now much darker than I originally thought.

All that said, in spite of her gushing that she is happy on IG, Spears made it clear she lied and that she is desperately unhappy, and wants the conservatorship to end. In fact, she wants to sue her family.

She does not sound well to me, but she certainly sounds high-functioning and intelligent and articulate about her situation; she was not ranting.

I think the #FreeBritney movement — which has seemed like unhinged stans at times — has a lot of which to be proud, because they were right.

Britney's full statement to the court:

BREAKING: @AndrewYang CONCEDES NYC MAYORAL PRIMARY.

Says he’s a numbers guy and can’t win based on the returns thus far. Yang says he’ll help whoever the nominee is. pic.twitter.com/n9SYwHm5Pi

I was one of the people who, as recently as a few weeks ago, assumed Andrew Yang's name recognition and most Americans' passion for rich people meant he would win the Dem primary and go on to become NYC's next mayor.

Nope.

Yang has conceded. Looking like Eric Adams has the most #1 votes. We'll see what happens once the ranked-choice votes are fully counted. I went for Garcia (#1) and Wiley (#2). Looks like both women did very well.

Miley Cyrus has a Pride special — Stand by You — streaming on Peacock from June 25 that will include many queertastic performances, including covers of ABBA (“Dancing Queen”), Cher (“Believe”), Cyndi Lauper (“True Colors”), Pat Benatar (“We Belong”) and Madonna (“Express Yourself”/“Music”/“Like a Prayer”).

Watch her saucy teaser:

I just wanna take a quick moment to say that I'm gay.

With those words, Carl Nassib, a defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, became the first active member of the NFL to come out as gay.

He also said he wishes coming out was not important, but acknowledged that it is, saying that visibility and representation are paramount. He ended his short speech by pledging $100,000 to the Trevor Project.

Watch and listen to history being made:

Gr8erDays on IG's Mantique of the Day is yet another Tarzan, this one 83-year-old Ron Ely.

Ely has had a terrible last few years, but in his glory days, he was a specimen, and one of the sweetest of the many, many Tarzans.
