The Fourth of July weekend is upon us and it’s already turning out to be terrible. First we learned that Betsy Ross was not so much a patriotic seamstress as she was a racist plagiarist. And now, We the People, the American taxpayers, are going to be left footing the bill for an obscene MAGA rally, complete with the finest Sherman tanks your 1957 dollars can buy. And I’ll tell you what we will not be doing. We will not be making PBS.org’s recipe for a red white and blue potato salad, which combines an unholy trinity of ingredients–blueberries, onions and mayonnaise. (Vomit.) In other horrible news, the Fyre (festival) is spreading. Cardi B. lost a copyright battle for a term she likened to a cold pigeon. Everyone’s getting diarrhea from Crypto. And restaurants around the country are introducing “not hungry girlfriend” menus.
