QUEERTY: Brian Jordan Alvarez of Will & Grace was a stripper and has a bangin' body, and yet ... people he says hi to on Grindr keep reporting him as a fake profile because they can't imagine him being on there.
FORBES: Trump's rally was officially a bust, attracting a bit more than 6,000 people, not the 19,000 + 10,000 overflow the venue was prepared for, and nowhere near the reported 1 million who ordered free tickets. Was a TikTok prank to blame? Because even if nearly a million TikTokers falsely ordered tickets, it's not like Team Trump was cutting people off from continuing to order — so in theory, even though the expectation game was a disaster, the actual number of bodies who showed up should be unaffected by that.
Also fun to note: Six Trump staffers tested positive for the coronavirus before the event even happened.

TWITTER: At his rally, Trump said he was intentionally slowing down testing because with more testing, you get more positives for the coronavirus. His defenders say he was TOTES KIDDING. Because joshin' about 115,000+ dead Americans is OBVI normal.

MLIVE: This was my local mall growing up! Thirty years ago, it would have been outrageous to call a Black shopper the N-word, and would have been an invitation to a beat-down. Now, it's suicide. There is controversy as to whether the white man actually said the N-word, but that is what the man who posted the video is claiming, saying it was muttered into the phone under a mask. The two Black men involved have been IDed and police want to speak to them, but Macy's is claiming it was totally unprovoked.
