Stormy Daniels on Twitter has the air of a very smart cat batting off a series of very dumb mice, who come at her under the delusion that the relationship is reversed.
“Scank,” one man tweeted at her on Friday. He has 94 followers and a bio that lists him as “Soldier for the Constitution.”
“The correct spelling is ‘skank,’?” Daniels replied promptly.
“Actually, ‘skanky whore,’?” another mouse leaped in, attempting to aid his brethren in the attack.
I admit, it IS fun to read her Twitter feed
For Stormy Daniels, swatting away Twitter trolls is a work of art

A suspected drug dealer's bowels have won out over Essex cops after he was released from custody by resisting the urge to poo for 46 days.
Lamarr Chambers, 24, was arrested in the UK town of Harlow, in Essex, on 17 January for failing to stop his car and on suspicion of intent to supply Class A drugs, which cops believed he had swallowed.
A court granted police the right to hold him until he passed the drugs – but Chambers decided to do some holding of his own.
*snip*
Eventually, after almost seven weeks of self-enforced constipation, Chambers was released on bail and sent straight to hospital in a police car with a medical professional at his side.
How in TF can you avoid defecating for 46 days?!!

Have voters changed their minds about Brexit?
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-43336351However, is there any reason to believe the outcome might be different if the issue were to be put to voters once again?
After all, the result in June 2016 was relatively close - Leave won by 52% to 48% - so not many people would have to change their minds to produce a different verdict.
Polls that ask people how they would vote now in response to the question that appeared on the ballot paper in June 2016 have, in fact, been relatively few and far between.
But those that have been conducted suggest there may have been a small swing in favour of Remain.

A woman who said she was injured by a drag queen’s breast is suing the Hamburger Mary’s restaurant in Tampa, records show.
In a civil complaint filed last month in Hillsborough County, Neldin Molina of Denver said she went to the restaurant May 30, 2015, for a friend’s birthday, unaware that there would be a performance. Hamburger Mary’s, a chain with several Florida locations, including one on Church Street in Orlando, is known for its drag shows.
During the show, Molina said a performer grabbed her head and “wiggle[d] her breast against” Molina’s face and head “at least 8 times.” Molina said the performer then “violently” pounded her head against the performer’s chest “up to 9 times.”
Molina said she later suffered “excruciating cervical pain and uncontrollable headaches.”

A Miami Beach nightclub has been shut down after a stunt involving a live horse prompted widespread outcry.
Multiple videos surfaced on social media showing a white horse, carrying a man and a scantily clad woman on its back, being led onto the crowded dance floor at Mokai Lounge, before falling and bucking off the woman. The incident appears to have happened either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
The horse has been “inspected and deemed to be healthy and safe,” according to Miami Beach Police, but that didn’t stop the City of Miami Beach from revoking Mokai’s business license, citing “possible animal cruelty and a hazard to public safety” in a statement released Friday.
“I was disgusted and offended that any legitimate businessperson would think this was an appropriate action to take,” City Manager Jimmy Morales said in the statement. “This activity was not permitted, and as soon as we became aware, I immediately instructed staff to act swiftly in remedying this situation.”

Quick tutorial on posting Twitter links from a phone
If you post a mobile Twitter link, it will NOT embed, meaning readers will only see the link and no content. See the mobile Twitter link below for an example:
https://mobile.twitter.com/TomHall/status/972162720144310273/video/1
Now, you have to perform minor surgery on the link to get it to embed. Delete the word "mobile" and the period immediately following that word. It will now embed correctly as shown below:

Young people traveling all over Europe, really common?
During my European trip, I constantly see young people (under 25 mostly) in my hostel, in the airports, in the buses, on the trains and trams, and on the streets with backpacks and other luggage. I always knew people camped and backpacked across Europe but now I see it constantly.
Did you and/or your friends do this too?
