C'mon now, you don't need to join a club to take a nap. Just watch me, jeez...
They’re looking for rest wherever they can get it. Frazzled Gen Z and millennial (30-somethings, basically) New Yorkers are flocking to a new kind of weekend meetup - one where the only requirement is kicking off your shoes, stretching out on a blanket and doing… absolutely nothing.
To combat today’s hustle culture, burned-out twenty and thirtysomethings are taking adult gap years, napping in movie theaters on their lunch breaks and crying in bizarre places throughout the city just to get through the day. To further relieve them of their daily stress, Brooklyn Reiki practitioner and sound bath facilitator Maaliyah Symoné, 31, created Club Rest Stop, a free “rest club” to force drained city dwellers to unplug and quiet their minds for a bit.
For two peaceful hours on a hot Sunday in late June, 40 participants mingled, meditated, listened to the sound baths, practiced breathing exercises, and - perhaps most unusually for New York - lay silently together without feeling an ounce of guilt in Central Park.
I guess none of them have couches in their living rooms or in their lanais like I do. I could teach 'em a thing or two about snoozing in the afternoon. Fuck - I've turned it in to a friggin' science. Juss' sayin'...
Love them puppies - this is one seriously happy dog...
A miracle puppy who spent five excruciating days buried beneath the earthquake rubble in Venezuela was rescued on Monday, showering her rescuers with affection once she was finally freed. Emotional footage captured the moment a search and rescue team from El Salvador was able to save the dog named Giselle on Monday in Caraballeda, a city in hard-hit La Guaira state.
Giselle was left trapped when twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes hit just 39 seconds apart on Wednesday evening last week, leaving more than 1,900 people dead including at least three Americans.
The dog’s heartwarming first reaction as she was pulled from the ruins was to lick her rescuer and profusely wag her tail before she was given water and checked for injuries. If that doesn't touch your heart even the least little bit, you're already dead. Check your pulse...

And they have the balls to call this a 'religion'?
The protesters wear Guy Fawkes masks, made famous by the graphic novel and film V for Vendetta, to protect their identities and symbolize anti-establishment sentiment.
Scientology's concept of "Thetans" is what the group considers to be a spiritual being that constitutes a person's identity. In Scientology, a thetan is the fundamental immortal spiritual being that constitutes an individual's true self. Coined by founder L. Ron Hubbard, the term distinguishes the human soul from traditional religious concepts, and refers to a being that is aware of being aware.
A thetan is not the mind or the brain; rather, it uses the body and mind as tools and communication centers. Scientologists believe it is possible for a thetan to separate from the physical body while still alive, retaining full perception and consciousness.
Similar to Eastern traditions, thetans are believed to have lived countless past lives and take on new physical forms through a process called "assumption".

You ate them with your fingers? Why you sonova...
Yet another reason to avoid crowds - especially with the usual suspects. Chaos erupted at a wedding after a man allegedly opened fire when a groomsman was told to stop eating meatballs with his hands - leaving two guests shot as the bride watched in horror. Thomas Redrick Williams, 41, allegedly opened fire at a banquet hall, leaving two guests with gunshot wounds - and a bride distraught on her 'special day'.
Officers arrived at a shopping center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on June 20 to find a woman shot in the arm and leg and a man with a gunshot wound to the back of the neck. Both victims were rushed to a nearby hospital.
The bride’s cousin told officers from her hospital bed that she had spotted a groomsman eating meatballs with his bare hands in the kitchen.
When she asked him to use a plate instead of his hands, he punched her in the face. The woman’s brother-in-law stepped in to defend her, and moments later she heard gunshots ring out.
The woman told police she believed the shooter was not the groomsman himself, but an associate of his. As officers arrived, the bride handed one of them a key fob and told police she had watched the brawl through a service window and heard a shot ring out.
She said she then saw a man she knew as “Boog” emerge from the kitchen carrying a gun. Venue security cameras caught a man in dark clothing leaving with what appeared to be a firearm - the bride in pursuit - before he fled on foot.

Quick thinking and bold action makes them different - we owe them a lot...
Quick-thinking Virginia first responders formed a human chain to rescue a driver who was trapped in a sinking car after crashing into a pond, dramatic video shows.Fairfax County cops and firefighters waded through a Chantilly pond Sunday afternoon to pull the woman from her sinking silver vehicle, according to police bodycam of the rescue shared online.
“It’s going down,” a cop shouted before three officers quickly removed their vests to avoid being pulled down by the water and jumped into the pond. The officers made their way to the car, pulled the driver out, and instructed those standing on a grassy bank to start forming a chain.
Those in the water were then pulled to safety — and the woman was treated for minor injuries, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department said. It’s unclear why she drove into the pond and the cause of the crash is being probed.
This rescue is a testament to the teamwork, training, and dedication our first responders bring every day.
Then - and now. Please...
A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes
-
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim
A movement regained and regarded both the same
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you
-
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed
Between the picture of time behind the face of need, need, ah
-
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you (Oh)
-
Coins and crosses
Never know their fruitless worth
Cords are broken
Locked inside the mother Earth
They won't hide, oh, they won't tell you
Watching the world
Watching all of the world
Watching us go by
-
And you and I climb over the sea to the valley
And you and I reached out for reasons to call
-
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid
As a movement regained and regarded both the same
All complete in the sight
Of seeds of life with you...

The only reason for starting out with this is to get your day started in a different direction. I am - I admit - a bit of a music snob.
There's virtually nothing I know of that's been created and/or presented as new music in the last 20+ years that interests me in the slightest. This song in particular? No reason really, except we spent a god-awful amount of time gettin' high and listenin' to stuff like this back in the day. No more, no less. Just great memories...

Budweiser wants to buy you a beer in celebration of America's 250th birthday.
The beer brand said consumers 21 and up can visit us.budweiser.com/americatab, enter their information, and if verified they'll receive a $6 digital gift card to purchase a beer on Budweiser to celebrate the Fourth of July and America's semiquincentennial.
Consumers should act fast, however, as the offer is only on the table until the $150,000 tab runs out.
"For years, Budweiser has shown up for the moments that bring Americans together. This summer, as America celebrates its 250th birthday, we wanted to do more than mark an anniversary; we wanted to honor the people who make those moments possible," said Todd Allen, SVP of marketing for Budweiser at Anheuser-Busch, in a news release.
"Covering America's tab is our way of turning gratitude into action: to thank the hardworking people who've made Budweiser part of everyday life, and to give them a chance to share a beer, reconnect and celebrate the resilience and spirit that have defined this country for generations," Allen said.

The cable news ratings for the week of June 15 are in, and the numbers for CNN, MS NOW, and Fox News are mostly down big-time since this week last year.
The daily World Cup matches may be to blame for the decline in cable news viewership, as FS1, which is airing the games, won the week in cable news primetime viewership.

Ya know, I like to think I'm a fairly bright, somewhat insightful kinda guy, but
this one's got me a bit flumoxxed. What is it, exactly, that these flits are proud of?
I'll be at the bar if you can come up with an answer that'll make sense...
