GAY FLESHBOT (WORK UNFRIENDLY): This gay-porn actor resembles Nick Jonas, so this GIF (it's not safe for work unless you are a pimp) allows you to imagine you're watching Nick's salad get tossed.

WAPO: Meghan McCain, who capitalizes on her dead dad's memory on a minute-by-minute basis, was mad that presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar had the audacity to share a story about her personal interaction with McCain at Trump's inauguration. (She said McCain was reciting the names of dictators.) Klobuchar has every right to bring up McCain, a (FLAWED) public figure, no matter what his daughter has to say about it.

HUFF POST: A long, informative new piece on how Don't Ask, Don't Tell was defeated — and it looks like a lot of credit goes to Sen. Harry Reid:
After the meeting, Reid stayed behind to talk to the president one on one. The Senate majority leader had never been a vocal champion of LGBT rights, but throughout the 2000s, as he grew closer to the party’s activist base, his politics on social issues had been swinging left. It had also become personal: Reid had a niece who was a lesbian, he would later tell reporters. Her coming out had just the kind of political effect pioneering gay rights activist Harvey Milk had promised it would decades ago.

TOWLEROAD: Pete Buttigieg slams Trump for “slander against veterans” in telegraphing his intention to pardon accused and convicted war criminals:
There is no question, I think, to any reasonable observer that the president found a way to falsify a disabled status, taking advantage of his privileged status in order to avoid serving. You have somebody who thinks it’s all right to let somebody go in his place into a deadly war and is willing to pretend to be disabled in order to do it. That is an assault on the honor of this country.

TWITTER: Airmen on the U.S.S. Wasp were caught wearing Trump-themed MAKE AIRCREW GREAT AGAIN patches.
I had to check to make sure this was real. Verdict: Yes, these airmen really are wearing patches that say "Make Aircrew Great Again" with an image depicting Trump in the center.
