I have no idea where this .gif comes from, or what the context might be, but it certainly seems genuine

From the comments section (thanks!):

This was from a 2013 short film called “The Abramovic Method”. It is the product of a retreat that Lady Gaga and Marina Abramovic took to upstate New York, during which Gaga was schooled in the Abramovic Method in order to heighten her awareness of her “physical and mental experience in the present moment.” In it, Gaga sings while lying on the ground, sits in a brook with Abramovic, nakedly walks through a field, nakedly hugs a giant crystal, and nakedly holds a stick in the woods. It was meant to help promote Abramovic’s Kickstarter campaign to raise $600,000 to create an institute.

Jeff Sessions said in a statement that “states do not regulate interstate commerce – the federal government does”

Sessions’ point is accurate, but almost totally irrelevant to the law. While internet content providers (like Google or Twitter or even me) operate interstate and internationally, intent access providers (like Time-Warner and Comcast), while they may be giant international companies, operate locally as access providers, and frequently have virtual monopolies.

In reality, the California law probably doesn’t go far enough. Since Comcast and Time-Warner also provide internet content, they should probably be forbidden from controlling access at all, just as Microsoft was once forbidden to make their browser a critical component of Windows. Without net neutrality, Time-Warner or Comcast can, in theory, provide decent access speed only to their own content and block or stall everything else. While Time-Warner has been relatively transparent and fair so far (with some exceptions), Comcast has been caught many times blocking unfriendly content, and then lying about it.

The guys in my golf league thought I was nuts about a month ago when I believed the Brewers could catch the Cubs and win the division. Well, to be honest, I’m not sure I really believed it either, but somehow I was right. They won today to clinch the division, having won 28 times in their last 38 games, including eleven wins in the last thirteen games.

Although their success was a team effort, it’s worth noting that Christian Yelich batted .488 in those last thirteen games. By the way, Yelich got three hits and knocked in the first Brewer run today, but had no homers and no additional RBI, so his triple crown chase came up a hair short.

The Brewers starter, Jhoulys Chacin, held the powerful Cubs to a single hit on their home turf at the “friendly confines.” Chacin is a true journeyman in the literal sense of the word – five teams in the last five years – but Milwaukee seems to agree with him. He went 15-8, marking his only 15-win season in ten years in the majors.

By amassing the best record in the league, the Brewers have also clinched the home field advantage throughout the NL playoffs.

Charles Aznavour, daring and adored French singer and composer, dies at 94 (WaPo)

Alternate Obit from The Guardian

I had no idea he was still alive.

“Mr. Aznavour was one of the last surviving links to the mid-20th-century golden age of the ‘chanson française,’ a song tradition blending street-wise, poetic lyrics and accessible melodies.”

She really has a beautiful shape. I suppose I’m a sexist, but I would rather look at this woman (almost) naked than, let’s say, Wayne Gretzky.

Although Gordie Howe did look kinda cute in the buff.

Not a player! She is the host for HC Spartak a KHL team in Moscow. She is also I believe a 2 time fitness champion. Her Instagram is well worth checking out!!!

P.S. Never trust the New York Post!
