Nauseous with an Aching Head and Heart. Also, Norovirus.

Yesterday, we found out about a Norovirus outbreak at the RNC - first reported amongst the California delegation, and soon after a dozen convention staffers. And yes, last night the Republican National Convention nominated Donald J. Trump as their nominee. Remember when we were joking that Trump was a false flag for Hillary? Remember when we were joking about Trump at all?


So while there’s a lot I could write about yesterday, let us remember that there is more out there than just carnival dirge playing in Cleveland.

  • Snapchat acquired Bitstrips, the maker of Bitmoji and illustrator of my nightmares, for $100 million.

  • Unilever, the soap company, purchased Dollar Shave Club, the company that sends you Dorco razors in the mail once a month, for $1B.

  • Twitter “permanently” suspended professional conservative troll Milo Yiannopoulis for rallied his followers to attack Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones with racist/misogynist garbage. After the entire twitter sphere was like UM HEY, TWITTER, HOW ‘BOUT WE SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN, they did? Kind of? We’ll see if it sticks.

Honestly, it’s hard to find anything that isn’t RNC-related, to my mental self-care detriment. So instead, we saw Ghostbusters last night and I’ve decided I’m going to be Kate McKinnon for the rest of my life.

So here’s a gif of Teddy. Gird your loins, darlings, because this week is entering the home stretch.
