TWITTER: Porn legend Dave Savage died of a stroke on June 19. Shocking! I see him in my feed constantly in spite of his retiring three years ago.

HUFFINGTON POST: Historically unpopular president Donald J. Trump spewed a bunch of bullshit instead of making the country’s 250th something for everyone to celebrate. We’ll pop the corks in November instead.

“Everyone is talking about America’s 250th birthday, and we’re throwing our hat in the ring with the sexiest actors who turn 50 this year!

“America turned 200 in 1976, and apparently the occasion called for a very handsome delivery. Now that the USA is the big 2-5-0, we’re celebrating with a look at the sexiest actors crossing the five-decade mark this year.

“These Bicentennial Boys, as we’re calling them, have spent decades making movies and television roughly 250x sexier with their nude and shirtless performances. From Hamish Linklater’s actual taint shot in The Boys to Joe Manganiello’s muscular booty in True Blood and Magic Mike XXL, what’s not to celebrate? Got to go. I’ve got red, white, and blue balls.

“For the full list (and uncensored scenes), head here!”
