A young man who fled yesterday's terrorist attacks with a pint of beer in hand has become something of an internet hero.

In a single, Sunday morning tweet, Donald Trump stooped to the level of perennial Veep loser, Jonah Ryan.
Armando Iannucci, creator of the hit HBO series and a U.K. native, took to Twitter after 45 directed a misleading tweet at the Mayor of London in the aftermath of Saturday evening's terror attacks. Iannucci's sage advice? "Sit the shit down and shut the shit up."

System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian joined the Prophets of Rage in Germany on Saturday for a cover of "Like A Stone."
It was a tribute to Chris Cornell, who fronted both the song and the band associated with it — Audioslave — on their self-titled 2002 debut. The supergroup matched the Soundgarden lead singer up with three former members of Rage Against the Machine: Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk.

Republicans seem a bit investigation-shy these days, don't they? Well, as you might remember from election season, that wasn't always the case. During Bill Clinton's administration, House Republicans even called for an inquiry into Socks, the First Cat.

My Instagram group chat with my two best friends was popping off this week. “Lmao at Chris liking this,” my friend Colin said to me. I opened the DM to find a photo @emrata, or model Emily Ratajkowski, had posted of herself on a boat with her butt looking good. See above for the post. Apparently Colin was going through @emrata’s feed, and because Instagram lists which of your friends has liked a photo, he saw my boyfriend Chris’ handle.

Saturday's horrific terror attacks in London — the U.K.'s second in two weeks — won't derail the planned One Love Manchester benefit concert set up after the first attack two weeks ago. Quite the contrary, in fact.
