Zoo to shutter its naked mole-rat cam Live streams of otters and orangutans to end. The panda cam stays.

THE DISTRICT Say goodbye to the National Zoo’s live Web camera that has shown every move of the naked molerat, a pinkish looking rodent with buck teeth, tiny eyes, wrinkled feet and little hair. However, don’t panic — the popular panda cameras stay. Because the software isn’t supported anymore for some of its older cameras, including the ones on the naked mole-rat — the view on those animals and a few others will go dark on Monday. So no more live viewing of the naked mole-rat, the orangutan, the Asian small clawed otters — a family of 11 — the clouded leopards, and the fishing cats. (They tap the water with their paw and then dive in to catch fish.) In a statement, the zoo said, “We’re sorry to announce that the software running some of our older cameras will no longer be supported and must be

taken offline.” Zoo officials went on: “Please note [yes, they put that part in bold]: Panda cam, lion cam and elephant cam are not affected and will stream without interruption.” Managing its cam program is a challenge for the zoo. It has to decide which animals are interesting enough to warrant a 24/7 public cam, plus find the funding to keep up with ever-changing — and costly — technology. “You wouldn’t put a live cam
on a sloth,” said Pamela BakerMason, a spokeswoman for the zoo. “But a naked mole-rat is actually quite busy and moves around a lot. And flamingos are fun to watch, too.” Currently, the zoo has 10 cams on 10 different species, and the equipment ranges in age from being 7 to 12 years old, according to zoo officials. The first animal cams went up in 1996 of rhinos. There are no longer rhinos at the zoo. DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Last May, he appeared on MTV’s show “Catfish” — a reality show that tracks down people who dupe online love interests. Coleman, who was 19 at the time, had claimed to be a music producer with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. label and hired a woman in Philadelphia he met on Twitter to book security and limos for his “press events.” The woman did this, but when it came time to pay for these luxuries, Coleman disappeared and she was left with the unpaid bills. The show teamed with the woman to track down Kidd Cole. Police issued a warrant for his arrest Tuesday, and he was arrested Wednesday morning at his Southeast D.C. home. PERRY STEIN

7000 Series set to launch on Red Line Get ready, Red Line passengers. Metro’s new 7000 Series is coming to you on Monday, June 8th. The new train, which boasts improved safety features and a brand new design, will make its first departure on the Red Line from Shady Grove station on June 8th at 7 a.m.
Metro is always striving to improve service for residents and visitors to the National Capital region. For many of our riders, Metro’s 11,500 bus stops provide critical access to employment, entertainment, shopping and housing in neighborhoods where rail is not an option. The Better Bus initiative is working to improve ontime performance and reliability, while reducing crowding and connecting new communities where the demand for transit is high. In fact, starting on June 21, nearly 50 bus routes in the District, Maryland and Virginia will undergo some adjustments or add new service. Metrobus riders can find out more about the upcoming changes at wmata.com/betterbus. One success story from Metro’s Better Bus initiative is the K9 Route in Montgomery County, MD. This limited-stop bus service was introduced on December 31, 2012 to provide faster and more reliable service along New Hampshire Avenue. Last month, the K9 achieved the milestone of carrying its half-millionth passenger. The K9 tapped into pent-up demand for transit service, and the overwhelming success of this route is now serving as a model for other areas throughout the region where additional service can improve the travel experience for riders and draw new passengers to buses.
Just as Metro’s first 7000 Series train remains in service on the Blue Line, this new train will remain on the Red Line in the coming months. Take a ride, and tell us what you think of the #newtrain.
Metro is Out and About Metro will be out in the community this summer, encouraging new riders to give Metrorail and Metrobus a try, providing service information and maps, gathering customer input, offering safety tips and promoting job opportunities with Metro. Come out and join us at a June event. Just look for Metro’s mobile outreach booth. You won’t be able to miss us!
June 4, 11, 18 and 25
As for the K9 bus route, the future is bright. Metro is working with the jurisdictions on dedicated bus lanes and traffic signal priority, as well as real-time bus arrival screens and fully accessible bus stops. As more features are added to the route, we hope this service can evolve to meet Montgomery County’s vision of bus rapid transit service for its residents.

Afghan security forces Wednesday patrol the area near the guesthouse that was attacked Tuesday night.
Afghan forces repel a new guesthouse attack A six-hour gun battle in the capital leaves 4 Taliban militants dead KABUL, AFGHANISTAN An all-night siege in an upscale neighborhood of the Afghan capital, Kabul, ended in the early hours of Wednesday morning with the deaths of four heavily armed Taliban attackers. No civilians or security personnel were injured or killed, an Afghan official said. The the six-hour assault began late Tuesday, with heavy explosions accompanying sporadic
automatic rifle fire, and was focused on the Rabbani Guesthouse, which is favored by foreigners because the area is in the heart of the diplomatic district and home to many foreign firms. The attack came amid intensified fighting across many parts of Afghanistan, following the start in late April of the annual Taliban warm weather offensive. A Taliban attack on a guesthouse in another part of Kabul earlier this month left 14 people dead, including nine foreigners. Wednesday’s siege ended after 5 a.m. in a sustained barrage of automatic weapons fire and a
series of huge explosions. P resident Ashraf Ghani praised the quick response of security forces, which he said had prevented civilian casualties. Kabul’s police chief Gen. Abdul Rahman Rahimi said that four attackers were involved and that all had been killed “before reaching their target.” The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on a recognized Twitter account. They referred to the target as “belonging to the occupiers,” reiterating the insurgents’ message that foreign installations are targets in the Afghan capital. LYNNE O’DONNELL (AP)

nation+world WASHINGTON New federal rules designed to better protect small streams, tributaries and wetlands — and the drinking water of 117 million Americans — are being criticized by Republicans and farm groups as going too far. The White House says the rules, issued Wednesday, will clarify for landowners which waterways must be protected against pollution and development. But House Speaker John Boehner declared they will send “landowners, small businesses, farmers, and manufacturers
on the road to a regulatory and economic hell.” The rules, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, explain which smaller waterways fall under federal protection after two Supreme Court rulings left the reach of the Clean Water Act uncertain. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said the waters affected would be only those with a “direct and significant” connection to larger bodies of water downstream that are already protected.

Volunteers search for missing persons Wednesday in San Marcos, Texas.
Death toll climbs to 19 after storms WIMBERLEY, TEXAS The death toll from a barrage of storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma climbed to 19 on Wednesday, with more than a dozen others missing, and another round of rain threatened to complicate the cleanup in hard-hit Houston. The forecast was for 2 to 3 more inches of rain in the Houston area, a day after flooding triggered by nearly a foot of rain in a matter of hours swamped neighborhoods and highways and stranded hundreds of motorists. Crews resumed the search for 11 people missing and presumed dead after the swollen Blanco River surged through Wimberley, between San Antonio and Austin. Authorities in Houston confirmed two more stormrelated deaths Wednesday, for
a total of six. In all, at least 15 deaths were reported in Texas and four in Oklahoma. Authorities, meanwhile, defended their telephone and inperson warnings to residents ahead of the bad weather but conceded the difficulty in reaching tourists and said a messaging system in Houston is awaiting improvements. The flooding in Houston affected virtually every part of the city. Firefighters carried out more than 500 water rescues, most involving stranded motorists. At least 2,500 vehicles were abandoned by drivers, and anywhere from 800 to 1,400 homes were damaged, officials said. Thousands of homes were also damaged or destroyed in the central Texas corridor that includes Wimberley. PAUL J. WEBER AND JUAN A. LOZANO (AP)

Nebraska overrides veto to abolish death penalty
Study: Everest’s glaciers at risk of disappearing
Nebraska abolished the death penalty Wednesday in a landmark vote to override Gov. Pete Ricketts’ veto of the ban. Backed by an unusual coalition of conservatives who oppose capital punishment, senators in the one-house Legislature voted 30-19 to override Ricketts, a Republican who supports the death penalty. Nebraska joins 18 other states and D.C. in banning the punishment and is the first traditionally conservative state to eliminate it since 1973. The state lost its ability to execute inmates in December 2013, when one of the three lethal injection drugs required by state law expired. (AP)

nation+world Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced Wednesday a stunning indictment of more than a dozen people accused of being involved in FIFA corruption.
WASHINGTONPOST.COM THE FIX
How can U.S. charge people in Europe?
FIFA officials indicted Justice Department charges top soccer authorities with $150M in corruption SOCCER The U.S. government launched a corruption attack on soccer’s global governing body Wednesday, pulling FIFA executives out of a luxury Zurich hotel to face racketeering charges and raiding regional offices in Miami. Swiss officials also invaded FIFA headquarters, seizing records and computers to investigate whether the decisions to award World Cups to Russia and Qatar were rigged. For many, the arrest of seven top officials at FIFA was a long time coming. The world may love the beautiful game more than any other, but the sport’s main administrative organization is widely perceived as being bloated and rapacious. Here’s what you need to know about FIFA’s enormous power and its terrible reputation.
What are the allegations? The Justice Department unsealed a 47-count indictment charging the world soccer figures
— including seven who were in Switzerland ahead of Friday’s scheduled election for FIFA president — with racketeering, bribery, money laundering and fraud totaling more than $150 million. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said deep-rooted corruption in the governing body allowed members and related firms to collect millions of dollars through bribery and kickbacks “year after year, tournament after tournament.” Lynch said the investigation found that one FIFA official received $10 million in bribes.
How does FIFA make money? The advent of television and marketing rights coupled with the global obsession with soccer all spurred FIFA’s evolution into a multibillion-dollar industry. FIFA gets to be the guardian of world soccer on trust, and has to do very little to see its own coffers swell. This setup is a breeding ground for the “rampant, systemic and deep-rooted” corruption cited by
record on workers’ rights.
What is FIFA? In 1904, the Federation Internationale de Football Association was founded by a group of French people seeking to form an umbrella organization for the sport’s various national bodies. Its mission throughout has been to help support the development of the game and organize international competitions. FIFA also gives guidance on the rules and management of the sport. (TWP)
U.S. authorities Wednesday, as well as what fuels the elaborate networks of patronage that link the sport’s top administrators with officials in national soccer associations. Allegations of bribery still surround FIFA’s decision to award Russia and Qatar the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, respectively. The Qatar bid, in particular, drew a furious backlash, with critics pointing to the tiny Persian Gulf emirate’s appalling
Islamic State suicide attacks kill 17 troops in Iraq’s Anbar province, where city of Ramadi is
Will FIFA change? Probably not, at least if it’s left to its own devices. FIFA has already indicated that the status of Russia and Qatar’s World Cup bids are not in question. Last year, it issued a report clearing itself of any wrongdoing in the bidding process, though a lawyer who was part of the investigation subsequently claimed that the report “contains numerous ... erroneous representations.”
What’s next? Saying that “organized international soccer needs a new start,” Kelly T. Currie, acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, stressed in a statement that “this indictment is not the final chapter in our investigation.” In addition to those charged, the indictment refers to 25 unnamed conspirators. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)
There are few secrets so poorly kept that billions of people know them, but FIFA’s sketchy practices were one of them. Leave it to the soccer-indifferent Yanks to finally point out that the emperor’s clothes appear to be stolen. But it’s worth explaining how the United States can flag a criminal conspiracy involving a foreign organization and then have people arrested in Europe. The idea of the U.S. as the world’s police is rarely so literal. To understand how the United States was able to flex its legal muscle across the Atlantic, we spoke with Jessica Tillipman, assistant dean and lecturer at the George Washington University Law School. “You have U.S. statutes where there are extraterritorial provisions that can reach foreign citizens if they violate certain laws,” Tillipman said. For most of those laws, there has to be “a jurisdictional hook,” she explained, an aspect of the crime that took place within the United States’ jurisdiction. In the case of the FIFA charges, the alleged crimes include wire fraud. Prof. Jennifer Arlen of the New York University School of Law said the need for jurisdiction in that case is fairly rigid. “With wire fraud, one needs a wire that originates in the U.S.,” Arlen said. “This means that most of the acts of bribery that occurred [within FIFA] over the years would not be covered.

Denard Span entered Wednesday’s game hitting .322 this year.
THREE POINTERS
Strasburg not alone Stephen Strasburg is 3-5 with a 6.50 ERA — not exactly an ideal start. But the Nationals’ righthander isn’t the only Cy Young hopeful who’s had a rough first two months of the season.
How the Nats got hot Bryce Harper is only one of the reasons Washington’s gone 20-6 since late April 1. Span’s sudden power surge
4. Desmond limiting errors
Everyone has noticed Harper’s dominance at the plate — he’s hit .467 with 12 home runs and 27 RBIs since May 6. Overlooked, though, has been Denard Span. The leadoff hitter has five home runs in 29 games this year — matching his total from last year, when he played 147 games. Span, who is on pace for 18 home runs, has never hit more than eight in a single season in his career. In 13 games from May 11 through Tuesday, he’s hit .370 with nine multi-hit games.
Shortstop Ian Desmond can be sloppy, as he showed with a key ninth-inning error in Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the Cubs, but he has reduced those miscues as of late. Desmond committed nine errors in his first 20 games, with the Nationals going 1-7 in contests in which he had at least one. But in the 26 games since, he has committed four errors.
Catcher Wilson Ramos has played 37 of the Nationals’ first 46 games.
2. Rebounding from bad starts
3. Ramos staying healthy
The Nationals’ solid stable of starters hasn’t put up two poor performances in back-to-back games. For example, a day after Stephen Strasburg allowed six runs (five earned) and was pulled in the fourth inning, Gio Gonzalez had a strong outing, allowing just one run in 61/3 innings Sunday.
The Nationals have reaped the benefits of a healthy Wilson Ramos. The often-injured catcher had a 19-game hitting streak snapped last week. He’s played in 37 of Washington’s first 46 games, providing stability in the lineup and giving the pitching staff consistency behind the plate.
Nats’ Bryce Harper leads NL players in All-Star Game voting
ANDREW HARNIK (AP)
NATIONALS Following a sixth consecutive loss on April 27, things looked dire for the preseason World Series favorite Nationals. A day later, a fuse was lit. After falling behind 10-2 in the fourth inning, the Nationals rallied to defeat the Braves 13-12 on April 28. Heading into Wednesday’s game against the Cubs, the Nationals won 20 of their past 26 games to stand atop the NL East. “We had a tough start, but we’ve turned it around and have played well ever since,” closer Drew Storen said. “We show up to the clubhouse, the same people every day. We’re having fun and just going out and doing our thing. We’re not worried about what happened yesterday and whatnot. We’re focused on the task at hand.” Here are five reasons — other than Bryce Harper — the Nationals have found success over the past month:
ANDREW HARNIK (AP)
JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)
3 Craig Kimbrel 11 saves, 5.29 ERA
The closer had a 1.27 ERA from 2012 to 2014 with the Braves, but he hasn’t been nearly as dominant in his first season in San Diego.
2 Corey Kluber 2-5, 3.49 ERA
The reigning AL Cy Young winner has started to turn things around after having four straight starts with at least five runs allowed.
1 Clayton Kershaw 3-3, 3.86 ERA
5. Bench providing power Michael A. Taylor, Tyler Moore and Dan Uggla are batting under .225, but each has contributed at least one key home run during the team’s hot streak. Taylor hit a ninth-inning grand slam in a 9-6 win over Arizona on May 13. Moore hit a solo homer in a 3-2 win over the Yankees last week. And Uggla’s threerun, ninth-inning blast against the Braves on April 29 is what started this whole turnaround.
When you’ve won three of the past four NL Cy Youngs, you’re held to a higher standard. The Dodgers’ ace already has as many losses as he had all of last season.

NBA Taking his magnificent game to a higher level, LeBron James sent the Cavaliers into the finals for the second time in franchise history on Tuesday night with a 118-88 romp over the Hawks, who couldn’t stop the four-time league MVP and were swept. Driven by the chance to end the city’s half-century-old championship drought, James was brilliant from start to finish. He averaged 30.3 points, 11 rebounds and 9.3 assists, the first player in postseason history to put up that statistical line. He’s
never been better in the playoffs. In the East, one team stands above all the others — the one with James, who will appear in his fifth consecutive finals after going four times in a row with Miami. He came back to Ohio to win a title for his home region, where second place has been as good as it gets since the Browns ruled the NFL in 1964. There has been heartbreak in the years since — as the Indians lost two World Series, the Browns were denied in three AFC championship games by Denver’s John Elway

Redskins cut Chester, Porter Release of veterans saves more than $6M against the salary cap NFL The Redskins released right guard Chris Chester and cornerback Tracy Porter, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. Chester, who was entering his 10th season, had started every game for Washington in the past four seasons. He struggled last season but survived the first round of cost-saving cuts earlier
this offseason. Chester took all of the first-team snaps in Tuesday’s first offseason practice session. However, Washington now appears set to move forward with 2014 third-round pick Spencer Long at right guard. Cutting Chester saves $4 million against this year’s salary cap. The Redskins still have to absorb the $800,000 guaranteed portion of his salary. Porter had signed a two-year, $6 million deal with Washington last offseason. But he battled hamstring and shoulder injuries and wound up appearing in only

three games. Porter, who coach Jay Gruden said had missed Tuesday’s practice because his flight on Monday evening got canceled, was deemed expendable because of the emergence of 2014 fourth-rounder Bashaud Breeland, and 2015 freeagent addition Chris Culliver. Third-year pro David Amerson and 13th-year veteran DeAngelo Hall also remain in the mix. Rele a si ng P or ter s aves $2.2 million against the cap this season. Washington still is on the hook for a $1 million dead cap hit. MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Adrian Peterson, left, has spent the past five months sending vague messages about his desire or lack thereof to remain with the Vikings. Coach Mike Zimmer cut right to the chase Wednesday when asked about the situation surrounding his star running back. “He’s really got two choices. He can either play for us or he cannot play,” Zimmer said on the second day of optional practices that Peterson skipped. “He’s not going to play for anybody else, and that’s just the way it’s going to be.” (AP)

WIZARDS For a couple weeks this spring, Paul Pierce was Washington’s trash-talking, big shot-making darling. He emerged as a fan favorite with his clutch moments in the playoffs and world-class trolling on the side. By its conclusion, Pierce’s first year with the Wizards was an unmitigated success, on and off the floor. In his 17th NBA season, Pierce provided a versatile shot creator the Wizards were lacking and infused swagger throughout the roster. He instantly became a team leader, serving as a guide
particularly for the team’s young core of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. “I learned a lot from him this year whether he told me something or I just picked it up,” Porter said. “And it’s going to stick with me throughout my NBA career, what to expect in the NBA and how to be a professional.” Now the question is whether Pierce’s theatrics as a Wizard will be a one-year act. “A lot of it has to do with my family. I’ll talk to my wife, my kids, my mother,” Pierce said after Washington’s season-ending Game 6 loss to Atlanta. “Just see how my body feels, how it responds now that I got some time off.” Pierce, who turns 38 in October, has a player option for $5.5 million
The Wizards’ Paul Pierce averaged 11.9 points and 4.0 rebounds in 73 regular-season games this year.
Tayler Hill‘s game-high 18 points leads Mystics to 89-63 win over Lynx in WNBA preseason
next season and has until the end of June to decide whether to opt in. Retirement is an option but so is joining another club and, according to an NBA.com report, “many around the league believe” he will opt out and sign with the Clippers. Pierce is from Los Angeles and joining the Clippers would mean a reunion with coach Doc Rivers. The two were together for nine seasons with the Celtics and won the 2008 title. “Who wouldn’t want to have a Hall of Fame guy back on this team?” Wall said. “He meant so much to us. Just his leadership, his work ethic, being a mentor, talking to us, and giving us those words of encouragement and that extra grit and fight.”

I’m happy. I’m having fun,” said the 39-year-old Rodriguez, who sat out last season while serving a drug suspension. (AP)

Strange Nats stuff for the Newseum
against the Florida Marlins. One problem: They had jersey issues. Big ones. The letters on their jerseys read “Natinals,” sprouting a cottage industry of T-shirts mocking yet embracing the error. Uniform company Majestic Athletic eventually apologized for the error, but how did no one from the team notice that the two most famous players were wearing typo-emblazoned jerseys?
The Nationals are celebrating their 10th season with an exhibit at the Newseum later this summer, though why tourists would be interested in random ballpark equipment is unclear. Here are some of the odder moments in Nats history that we’d like to see at the Pennsylvania Avenue museum when “Nats at 10” opens on July 31. CLINTON YATES AND SCOTT ALLEN (THE WASHINGTON POST) The Strasburger For the 2012 home opener, the team released an absurd sandwich into the world, ostensibly designed to cash in on the popularity of Stephen Strasburg. Designed to feed eight people and pricing out at nearly $60, it was gigantic, a dietary disaster and utterly pointless. But
Mike Morse’s fake grand slam When Mike Morse hit a grand slam back in September 2012, something very weird happened. The shot was ruled a single, then a grand slam, and, for some reason, the umpires made Morse pantomime a home run swing. We’re not sure how the museum would display this, but they could put the bat he used on view.

Ah, the King. In that 2009 season, we were treated to a gem of a clubhouse tradition. For player of the game honors, a team member had to wear a silver, plastic Elvis Presley wig for postgame interviews. It was fun for a while, the kind of thing a plucky squad did to keep things light. After all, they were the worst team in the National League that year.
Before the days of a fully uniformed mascot dancing around to “Uptown Funk,” there was Screech, the lovable mascot who had trouble moving quickly and occasionally wore his hat backward. His belly was large, and he was in charge. In an act of crass body-shaming, the team slimmed him down and covered up his bird legs for reasons we’ll never understand.

Chuck Palahniuk
AUTHOR, ‘FIGHT CLUB’ CREATOR, GUY YOU SHOULD TALK TO AT PARTIES
Why did you decide to bring back Tyler Durden? I didn’t realize people would be asking me about this single book for the rest of my life. So why not break it open and turn it into the kind of thing [H. P.] Lovecraft or Stephen King would do, write a whole mythology around it so it bridges lots of different projects. In your short-story prequel to “Fight Club,” the main character is writing something described as “a vivid pornography of other people’s misery … [that] would validate the tedious, timorous lives of bank clerks and shopkeepers.” Is that writer you? Well, like him, so much of my process is talking to people and hearing their confessions. You go to parties and there’s that moment when someone’s had one drink too many and they feel safe. If you offer a small embarrassing story from your life, they will tell you a similar anecdote. And people tend to be competitive. They will ramp it up and suddenly they will be trying to dominate one another with the extreme humiliation
or upsetting nature of their own story, and that’s when they tell the stories that really matter. I call it crowd seeding, like cloud seeding. You throw out the idea you want people to develop and you put all the different stories together and suddenly you have a book. In the short story, you place Tyler Durden into a seemingly Victorian-era past, and in “Fight Club 2” comic book, Durden’s spirit takes root in a modern-day child. Are you projecting Durden into the past and into the future at the same time? Exactly. That will be part of this big mythology the comic book will set out to create. That Tyler wasn’t just an aberration for one man during one small period of his life. He is actually a meme, an entity of his own that has occurred across time, always steering people towards this one large goal that we’ll find out. What goal is that? The goal of Project Mayhem in the movie and the book is to give people trials and quests
ALLEN AMATO
After being shot in the head, mayhem-maker Tyler Durden seemed fairly dead at the end of Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel “Fight Club” and the 1999 movie by the same name. As of this week, Durden has risen again. He appears in Palahniuk’s shortstory collection, “Make Something Up: Stories You Can’t Unread” and stars in a new comic book series, “Fight Club 2.” We caught up with Palahniuk ahead of Thursday’s book talk at Sixth & I to find out what’s behind the resurrection and what Durden’s future may hold. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)
and challenges that help them to discover their own brilliance, courage or skill. To make them more aware of what they were capable of doing in the world. But like so many empowering organizations, by the time it gets to the comic, it becomes about empowering the organization, instead of the member. And the members have become more like slaves, perpetuating this
“[Tyler Durden] is actually a meme, an entity of his own that has occurred across time, always steering people towards this one large goal that we’ll find out.”
very large thing that will lead to disaster. Why did you decide to write “Fight Club 2” as a comic book? A friend of mine, a writer called Chelsea Cain, invited me to a dinner party with Brian Bendis and Matt Fraction, two of the biggest names in comics. Chelsea and the two of them just hammered on me all through dinner saying how I should write a comic and what a thrill it would be. What other forms might the “Fight Club” mythology take? The original “Fight Club” might become a musical. David Fincher has been working on this for years — he was the director of the movie and he has convinced Trent Reznor to do the score for a “Fight Club” rock opera.

For something more local, Granville Moore’s (1238 H St. NE; Wed., 6 p.m., $33) is hosting an all-you-can-eat mussels event that features several Flying Dog drafts, priced at $5-$7 per pour.

THE STEELDRIVERS Take me to ChurchKey
Savor is the kind of event Washington craft beer fans dream about. The beer and food festival features breweries that are rarely, if ever, represented in the D.C. market, with many of the beers poured by the brewers themselves. Unfortunately, Savor sells out almost instantly, and this year’s event — at the National Building Museum on June 5 and 6 — is no different. Thankfully, the week leading up to Savor is almost as impressive as the event itself. On Monday, many of Savor’s 74 participating breweries start descending on Washington for tap takeovers and events across the area. Here’s just a small sample of the weeklong beer madness. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Plenty to Savor
ChurchKey (1337 14th St. NW) always has something special on tap. During Savor week, the venerable beer bar could probably start charging customers rent. Lucky for you, there are no admission fees for the bar’s prime events, including the D.C. debuts of St. Louis’ 4 Hands Brewing Company (10 rare drafts) on Monday at 6 p.m. and Asheville, N.C.’s lauded Wicked Weed Brewing (20 hoppy ales, sours and barrelaged brews) on Wednesday at 4 p.m. On Tuesday at 4 p.m., Michigan’s Jolly Pumpkin hosts a Sourfest, bringing the debuts of its Rojzilla and La Roja du Kriek. On June 4 at 4 p.m., Florida breweries Cigar City (famed for the immensely drinkable Jai Alai IPA) and Funky Buddha will team up to tap 25 drafts.
A beer and … Not all of the Savor-related events are just about trying beers you’ve never had before. At dcbeer.com’s third Craft of Comedy showcase, the Big Hunt (1345 Connecticut St. NW; Mon., 7 p.m., free) will host sets from local comedians and drafts from five breweries, including D.C.’s own 3 Stars and Atlas. On June 6, you can drink beer on a boat aboard the all-inclusive Devils Backbone Brews Cruise (departs from 1 Cameron St., Alexandria; June 6, 11 a.m.2 p.m., $60). And on June 4, Lagunitas is serving up hops in an unusual manner. The California- and Chicago-based brewery will have a vaporizer set up at Smoke and Barrel (2471 18th St. NW; June 4, 5 p.m., free) so patrons can vape hops while getting buzzed on eight of its dankest drafts.

Spinning beats and beets Get a taste of the Sweetlife Festival with these made-up, artist-minded salads Kendrick Lamar isn’t just headlining this weekend’s Sweetlife Festival. The rapper inspired Sweetgreen, the local chain behind the two-day Merriweather Post Pavilion event, to create a seasonal salad in his honor: the cheekily named Beets Don’t Kale My Vibe. Given the music festival’s food focus, we decided to take that idea and run with it. Using Sweetgreen’s menu as a base, we’ve picked four other can’t-miss Sweetlife acts and crafted leafy green dishes that capture their spirit. DEAN ESSNER (FOR EXPRESS) Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; Sat. & Sun., noon, $175-$350 (two-day pass), $97.50-$225 (single-day ticket).

Shredded kale, local apples, spicy broccoli, spicy quinoa, citrus shrimp, Sriracha

Organic baby spinach, honey-glazed pecans, roasted sweet potatoes, raw corn, roasted organic tofu, fresh lime squeeze
The Dancing With My Salad
EDM relies on the art of tension and release, so we’ve structured Sunday night headliner Calvin Harris’ salad accordingly. Most of its parts are subdued and palatable, like the mesclun and toasted almonds. But then, just like one of Harris’ big bass drops, the salad gets wonky and wild. Four different kinds of cheese? Now that’s a party.
Bleachers, the solo project from fun.’s Jack Antonoff, is primo summer pop music: big, sweeping choruses, goofy electronic flourishes and just the slightest twinge of melancholy. As such, we’ve given the Antonoff-led band (performing on Saturday) a sweet, light salad that tastes like a warm day in the sun.
English-bred pop star Charli XCX (performing Sunday) makes delectable, catchy music with bite. Last year’s “Sucker” was full of instantly lovable songs that walked the tightrope between edgy, pissed-off punk and bubblegum pop. Therefore, her salad mixes the spicy (Sriracha, spicy quinoa, spicy broccoli) with the sweet (local apples, citrus shrimp) for a dish that should appeal to a wide audience.
Chopped romaine, caramelized onions, tomatoes, roasted chicken, bacon, blue cheese dressing
Billy Idol is a rock star through and through, which is why we crafted the “White Wedding” singer’s dish around some of the meatand-potatoes basics for salads: romaine, bacon, chicken and blue cheese dressing. It’s a delicious combo that also plays it safe, just like the decision to throw Idol on Saturday’s Sweetlife bill as the festival’s obligatory legacy act.

I squawked at the $22 price tag too. But then I bit into this burger and realized just how special it is. From the culinary prowess of Frank Ruta comes this succulent Angus beef burger topped with truffle cheese, mayonnaise and fried duck egg on a house-made brioche bun. The menu includes four other burger variations from Ruta, who was well-known for the dish at his now-shuttered Palena in Cleveland Park. Others come topped with bacon and onion confit or griddled mortadella with onion jam. HOLLEY SIMMONS (EXPRESS)

OPEN HOUSE:
According to the movies, God really does not want you to live in California. The Golden State has been the site of many a cinematic disaster — including in this week’s “San Andreas” — which really makes you wonder how many filmmakers actually enjoy living there. ‘GODZILLA’: In the 2014 remake, a certain giant lizard comes to San Francisco and destroys it, possibly because the real estate prices there are infuriating.
an island for prisoners. Which … doesn’t California already have one of those?
‘INDEPENDENCE DAY’: Cities worldwide take a hit when aliens invade Earth, including Los Angeles. Which means we lose most of our celebrities, causing tabloids to go under. So it’s kind of worth it.
so well, the powerful idiots that be decide to open Jurassic Park: San Diego. It is a roaring success, as long as you measure it in “people eaten.”

A new start for Lisa Lampanelli The Queen of Mean is in the midst of some major transformations COMEDY Lisa Lampanelli is notorious for her insults. But the Queen of Mean is turning over a new, bleachblond leaf. She just rewrote her one-woman show, “Fat Girl Interrupted,” as a play meant to help those with body image issues. “I’ve met maybe one woman in my whole 53 years who actually likes the way she looks, and that’s a shame,” says Lampanelli, who had a transformative weight loss after undergoing gastric-sleeve surgery and changing her eating habits. Lampanelli hopes to premiere “Fat Girls Interrupted” offBroadway next fall. Meanwhile, her new special, “Back to the Drawing Board,” airs on Epix on June 26, and her “Leaner Meaner” stand-up tour hits D.C. on Friday.

that I’m 19 years old again because of getting a divorce and working on myself a lot. I’m going through the kind of things that a kid goes through, like just starting to figure out self-love and physical transformation. Your haircut is really edgy. Yeah, it is so cool! It’s like a cosmic do-over in my life. But the reason I got it cut in the first place was so stupid. It was because my husband made me mad one day and I was like, I’m totally getting all my hair cut off, because he loves long hair. So, I go home and he says, “Wow, your hair looks so cute.” And I’m like, “Oh great. I can’t even piss off the guy I want to piss off.” I hate asking accomplished women about their weight, but … It’s a major topic! Has losing the weight affected your dating life? The thing is, I’m not dating because we just got a divorce in December, so I want to figure myself out before dating somebody. Also, I’m going through menopause, so I’m not the least bit interested in sex. I’m probably in the best condition that I’ve been in my life. Nothing seems to be missing. MIRIAM BERG (FOR EXPRESS)

Who the heck is … Louis Weeks?
HHHHH “STUNNINGLY INNOVATIVE” — DC Metro Theater Arts
“ASTONISHING...
It’s tough to classify Louis Weeks. The Baltimore-born, D.C.-based singer-producer listened to classical music as a kid, and you can hear those spacious elements on his second album, “haha,” out Tuesday. The new LP, which he’ll celebrate at the Howard Theatre on Thursday, marks a sharp creative turn for the 26-year-old Weeks: Where last year’s “shift/away” was decidedly mid-tempo and electronic, “haha” is bigger and brighter. For this record, Weeks blended his computerized sound with live instrumentation from guitarist Noah Berman, percussionist Matt Honor and woodwind musician Ethan Helm. “Everything was very precise [on ‘shift/away’],” Weeks says. “I think a lot of the freeness in ‘haha’ relates to getting off the grid a little bit, and allowing some of the performances to breathe.” MARCUS J. MOORE (FOR EXPRESS)
A YOUTHFUL PRANK BURSTING WITH THEATRICAL MISCHIEF AND LITERARY FLAIR” —The Washington Post
“A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT OF THEATER!” — BroadwayWorld
Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW; Thu., 8 p.m., $12-$15. During the day, Weeks works as a staff composer at Clean Cuts, a production company in Baltimore, where he’s created music for Starz and the Golf Channel. “It’s because of that job that my style is a blend of songwriting, composing and production,” he says. “It’s all kind of mixed together, because during the day, I have to wear all those hats in order to get a piece out in 10 hours.”
Not just pushing buttons Weeks’ new record feels improvised, with a hollow resonance “shift/away” just didn’t have.
“Fire,” the album’s lead single, carries a large, pop-infused stomp. “I write a song and use the computer to deconstruct and reconstruct it,” Weeks says. “I’m not approaching it from a genre standpoint. I don’t think of myself as a pop musician, electronic dance musician or folk musician. It’s kind of all over the place.”
All together now Weeks admits that “shift/away” was a downtrodden affair. “A lot of the songs grapple with the idea of being alone,” he says. In contrast, “ ‘haha’ is very much
about coming together. It’s me taking a … much more open view of what my music can be.”
THE TONY AWARD-WINNING PLAY BY TOM STOPPARD DIRECTED BY AARON POSNER
No laughing matter So, why is the album named “haha”? “I wanted a word that indicated two halves, but still indicated a cohesiveness,” Weeks says. “The record is also about the joys and difficulties of trying to articulate the world around you. When you write ‘haha,’ you’re trying to express something that is inexpressible. In that moment, your feelings have reached the limits of language, and you’re free.”

weekendpass
A
“Geek” is our word now. So is “nerd.” We’ve reclaimed B them, made them our own, and we take pride in them.
is for anime
Fans of Japanese animation can find their people here. They’ll either be at a screening of “Sailor Moon” or “Princess Jellyfish” episodes or at Anime Anonymous: Meeting of the Binge Watchers.
is for business
And Awesome Con is the place where D.C.’s geek flag flies highest and nerd pride reaches its pinnacle. Forget the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — THIS is Nerd Prom. Dress as a Dalek for the WHCD and you’ll get turned away at the door. At Awesome Con, you’re the coolest kid in the room. There’s so much to do and see and gawk at, we’ve made an alphabetical list to help you navigate the convention center. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS); ILLUSTRATIONS BY CHRIS DANGER (FOR EXPRESS)
Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Fri.-Sun., $31.73-$79.32. Kids under 10 free; VIP tickets, photo and autograph sessions extra; awesome-con.com.
The creators of Superman got totally screwed. Make sure that doesn’t happen to you with a series of talks aimed at those getting into the comics business, covering topics like intellectual property, censorship and publishing contracts.
C
is for cosplay
The art of dressing up like beloved characters — or variations thereof — has gone mainstream. Learn how to start or how to up your game, or compete in individual, group and kids contests.
D
is for Don’t blink. Blink and you’re dead.
It’s a family reunion as Alex Kingston and Arthur Darvill
(who played daughter and father, respectively, on “Doctor Who,” even though she’s older; it makes sense within the series) appear. Catch their separate panels on Saturday or pony up for a photo op or autograph. The Weeping Angels will not be appearing. Probably.
E
is for exercise
Superman doesn’t get ALL his strength from the Earth’s yellow sun; that guy is a beast at the gym. A panel called Geek Fitness: Embracing Your Inner Superhero covers getting in shape the nerdly way.
L
F
is for “Lord of the Rings”
is for feminism
An industry that spent a long part of its history essentially saying “You have Wonder Woman. What else do you want?” is now changing for the better (not that Wonder Woman isn’t awesome). Panels include discussions of sexism, creating great female characters and how to deal with cosplay harassment.
G
is for gaming
A whole chunk of the con, now in its third year, is dedicated to
Actors John RhysDavies (Gimli) and Sean Astin (Sam) are attending, for a Q&A session on “Lord of the Rings” and for autographs and photos. Just don’t ask Astin to carry anything. He’s done enough.
gaming — like, an entire side of the center. There’s all-day gaming (digital and analog) every day, plus playtests, demos and tournaments.
H
is for horror
Scare up some … well, scares with screenings from The Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival. There are shorts, features and a post-screening Q&A session with “Exists” director Eduardo Sanchez and writer Jamie Nash.
I
is for “I repeated the computer, Fred.”
“Galaxy Quest” may be the finest sci-fi movie ever made, and now you can discuss it with the highly intelligent people who think so, too, at “Galaxy Quest”: The Panel.
J
is for Joss
The patron saint of geekdom, Joss Whedon is perfect in every way. Which is why he shows up a lot on the schedule of events (though not in person). There’s the Marvel and the Whedonverse Collide panel, the star-studded “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Q&A and a panel focusing solely on Buffy’s buddies.
K
is for Kirk (and Klingon)
vaj ghu’vam, ‘e’ Doj laD SoH laH. ‘e’, umqu’ ghot chay’ le’! qar, SoH ghoS. vaj ‘e’ ghaH DoHmoHjaj wa’ ‘ejyo’ HoD James T. Kirk (William Shatner), nargh ghaH cha’ tlhIH ja’chuq, ben law’ photos legh je pongDaj ghItlh ghaytan SoH.
M
is for money
Not for spending, though you can certainly do that. For getting. Learn about crowdfunding, using social media to build your business, and turning that knitting addiction (or whatever your hobby is) into cash.
N
is for nostalgia
Sci-fi usually looks ahead, but sci-fi fiends often like to look back. Your childhood (assuming it took place in the ’80s or ’90s) comes alive with Q&As featuring stars of the animated “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” four actual Power Rangers (black, red, yellow and blue) and Ralph Macchio, best known for “Dancing With the Stars.” And some movie about taekwondo or something. All are available for photos and autographs.
O
is for Oliver Queen
No, Stephen Amell isn’t coming and he’s not bringing his salmon ladder with him. But there is a session called Arrow: My Aim is True, and we’re pretty sure the ladder will come up.
P
is for Pinkie Pie
Bronies and whatever the female equivalent of a Brony is have a panel all to themselves, where they can talk with writers and artists from “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” and “Friends Forever.”
Q
tsunami, a discussion of Marvel’s work versus that of DC, and Q&As about films like “Starship Troopers” and “Clerks.”
is for quickie
Not THAT kind of quickie. Unless you want to; we’re not judging. Seven separate sessions of Sci-Fi Speed Dating happen throughout the con, including two for LGBTQ people. Find the Robin to your Batman, the Oliver to your Felicity Smoak, the Tara to your Willow.
V
is for voices
A bunch of esteemed voice actors are stepping out of the studio and into the light, including all four Ninja Turtles (you can get photos with each Turtle individually or as a group). On Saturday they’ll all get together for “Twisted Toonz!!,” based on the YouTube hit.
R

We said goodbye to one of the most human of souls this year when Leonard Nimoy died at 83. On Saturday, this sci-fi community will gather to remember a man who lived long and prospered.
S
is for Sulu
The hand that steers the Enterprise is the hand that rules the world. Shake that hand (or at least lunge for it desperately) at George Takei’s Sunday panel, or at his autograph and photo sessions.
T
is for technology
Fake, real and somewhere in between — multiple panels cover the tech of sci-fi. Energy at the Movies will feature STEM
experts from the U.S. Department of Energy; a panel on colonization of exoplanets will discuss how to get there and who we’ll oppress when we make it; and there are workshops on digital painting and coloring.
U
is for “Ultron,” age of
Now that comics have leaped to the big screen in a big way, there are a lot of opportunities to discuss the phenomenon. There’s a session on surviving the summer blockbuster
W is for WWE

X
is for Xander
Except Xander won’t be there. But other Sunnydale Survivors (well, they didn’t all survive. Technically.) will be: James Marsters, Emma Caulfield and
Amber Benson will appear, both for a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Q&A and for autographs and photos.
Y
is for youth
Pass down the proud geek culture with three days of kids activities. You’ve got crafts. You’ve got magic shows. You’ve got lightsaber training. You’ve got a colony of 3-foot-tall, juice box-fueled Batmen running around.
Z
is for zombies
Fast, slow, TV, movies; you could spend all con going after braaaaaaaainnnns with panel discussions about the meaning of zombies in contemporary culture, a lesson about readiness if when the zombie apocalypse strikes, and a screening of the first four episodes of the anime series “Is This a Zombie?”

Pulp quasi-fiction TELEVISION As NBC’s new drama “Aquarius” makes clear, “Mad Men” isn’t the only show that can blend 1960s fact with fiction. This pulpy series delves into Charles Manson lore, and is offering all 13 episodes for online binge watchers beginning Friday. (The show has its broadcast premiere tonight at 9 p.m.; you’re free to watch it in weekly increments on TV.) Set in the 1967 and ’68, “Aquarius” is a cleverly imagined and handsomely realized tale of an old-school police force feeling the rumblings of several social tremors: the youth counter-culture, the anti-war and black militant movements and a hint of gay rights. David Duchovny stars as L.A. homicide detective Sam Hodiak, who gets a frantic phone call from a former lover, Grace (Michaela McManus), the wife of an attorney (Brian F. O’Byrne). Grace begs Hodiak to find her

runaway daughter, Emma (Emma Dumont), minus publicity that would harm her husband’s career. Hodiak enlists the help of undercover cop Brian Shafe (Grey Damon). It doesn’t take them long to find Manson’s commune, where Emma has tripped out and been sexually initiated into the Family. “Aquarius” creator John McNamara has envisioned Manson, played by Gethin Anthony, as both a tyrant and delusional buffoon. It’s to Anthony’s credit that he discovers and portrays a
believable Manson underneath all the quasi-religious claptrap. As Hodiak, Duchovny is obviously enjoying himself; the role gives him plenty of opportunity to drop in wry comments and asides, but it also has a darker, noir-ish edge to it that draws on the actor’s other strengths. It’s a cooked-up story from top to bottom, but a smidgen of fact and attention to period details blend nicely with make-believe, making for a tasty ’60s cocktail. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The month’s best music
verbatim
Rich Homie Quan, ‘If You Ever Think I Will Stop Goin’ In Ask RR Royal Rich’ As a rapper, Quan has the most delicious rasp since Jeezy; as a singer pretending to be a rapper, he puts out a heartsick melody that is only one step behind Future’s, three steps behind Drake’s. The race is on.
Banditos, ‘Banditos’
Snoop Dogg, ‘Bush’
Not to be confused with that lethal motorcycle gang that’s been making headlines, this jittery, jangling Southern rock band promises to remain “still sober after all these beers.” Believe it at your own risk. Part rock-n-roll, part Texas swing, Banditos sounds just right for a rowdy bar that needs to get on its feet.
From his duets with Willie Nelson to his half-baked reggae songbook, the Dogg is a dabbler. But if Snoop’s previous funk larks (“Let’s Get Blown” c. 2004; “Sexual Eruption” c. 2007) foreshadowed this delightfully croony new album, we can only hope that this album foreshadows the rest of his career.

@FLOWERBONES_ isn’t satisfied with the explanation Lilly Pulitzer gave
after a New York Magazine tour of its headquarters turned up bodyshaming images. One features drawings with the text, “Just another day of fat, white, and hideous … You should probably just kill yourself.” The brand said the images were in an employee’s personal space.

“Your move, Kap.” THE STAFF AT TMZ.COM leave it up to Colin Kaepernick to appropriately apologize for an insensitive post. In the wake of the deadly flooding rocking Houston, the 49ers quarterback shared an Instagram photo Tuesday of a dozen cars submerged in water with the caption, “I warned you the #7stormsComing !!! #Houston.” He apologized, but the Houston mayor’s office said if he is truly sorry, he should donate to relief efforts.

DIFFICULT
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll have good reason to stand up for yourself — and for someone else who doesn’t realize that certain dangers are getting close. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your own ideals may come under attack from someone who really doesn’t know what you’re all about. He or she will know very soon! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Routine affairs allow you to take a far less aggressive stance than expected. Save your energy for something just around the corner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re trying to keep certain things from coming to light, but the very effort is actually making others more curious.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You know how to keep a secret, but that’s not where the difficulty lies. The question is, should you? A decision must be made.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are expecting much, but the signs are not giving up any information about what may be approaching. Be patient.
TODAY: Winds look like they’ll have a more westerly component. That should lower the humidity just a bit, which should in turn lower afternoon shower and storm chances to around 30 percent. That chance of showers and storms extends into the evening, with clearing skies possible overnight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re going to have to push your own agenda a little more aggressively if you want to expand your following. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Certain mistakes are unavoidable, but you can minimize their impact by focusing on one big thing you’re doing right.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You
must be willing to let another shine more brightly. If this means you have to remain in the shadows, so be it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The feedback you receive must be carefully interpreted, or you’re likely to find yourself heading in the wrong direction very soon.
