Snake leaps out of toilet, bites man, still receives its own free health care
Police in Germany say divine intervention saved a speeding driver from a ticket, after a pigeon photobombed a traffic camera at just the right moment. Viersen police said “the Holy Ghost must have had a plan” to help the driver. Just as the radar clocked his speed and the camera flashed, the pigeon flew in front of the car, obscuring the driver’s face and concealing the evidence. Police said “thanks to the feathered guardian angel,” the driver was spared a fine of 105 euros ($117) but should take it as “a sign from above” to slow down. (AP)
Traffic was disrupted in Pullman, Wash., last week when boxes holding thousands of bees fell off a truck. The MoscowPullman Daily News reported the boxes fell off a Washington State University truck Thursday. Pullman police took a call on the accident around 7:30 a.m. Police Chief Gary Jenkins said an officer at the scene described thousands of bees buzzing through the air while university employees picked up the boxes. The WSU entomology department has a breeding program and lab to study and protect bee populations. (AP)
Authorities say a ball python slithered out of a toilet and bit a South Florida man on the arm. Coral Springs police spokesman Chris Swinson said the man was treated at the scene after the 4-foot snake bit him when he lifted the toilet seat Sunday morning. The snake is nonvenomous. Swinson said the snake didn’t belong to the man and it was unclear how it got into the apartment. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports the snake was taken to a veterinarian’s office. It was being treated for a scale infection. (AP)

page three ‘Change agent’ takes the lead MUSEUMS Lonnie G. Bunch III — the dynamic founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture — has been appointed secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, becoming the first African American leader in its 173-year history. Bunch’s nomination was approved Tuesday morning by the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents. He succeeds David J. Skorton, who announced his resignation in December and whose last day is June 15. Considered a giant in the museum field, Bunch, 66, becomes the 14th secretary of the quasifederal institution, responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget that supports 19 museums, nine research centers and the National Zoo. He is the first Smithsonian director to ascend to the secretary’s post in 74 years, and starts his new job June 16. Bunch said Monday that he was “a tad stunned” by the appointment.

the appointment, Bunch said that being the first African American in the post “will open doors for others.” Before Bunch became director of the African American museum in 2005, he also worked at the National Air and Space Museum and at the National Museum of American History. David Rubenstein, chairman of the Board of Regents, said that Bunch’s reputation among his colleagues, his fundraising skills both in Congress and with private donors, and his experience at three museums separated him from the pack. The success of the African American museum, the newest Smithsonian museum, was another important factor. “He has achieved one of the most impressive accomplishments at the Smithsonian in decades, building the African American museum from scratch,” Rubenstein said. Board of Regents Vice Chairman Steve Case said that Bunch’s inside knowledge of the complex institution means he is poised to be “the change agent” to execute its recently adopted five-year plan.

THE DISTRICT
Police deal with spate of weekend violence
TRANSPORTATION Metro’s 15-week shutdown of six Yellow and Blue line stations began in earnest Tuesday morning, with reports of varying degrees of pain. As many commuters found themselves watching full shuttles pass them by — and then found themselves on buses inching through traffic — some said their commutes had grown by far more than the 30 minutes Metro estimated the shutdown would add. There were a handful of reports of shuttle drivers getting lost, including one from a reporter for a Defense Department news outlet about a bus that was supposed to go from Huntington to the Pentagon station. It somehow ended up in Anacostia, according to a DoD News reporter. And there was the general realization that it’s going to be a very long summer. “Buckle up, we’re in for a frustrating summer,” tweeted Paula Kostiuk, who had what must have been one of the day’s longest commutes. Heeding Metro’s advice to plan for an additional 30 minutes, she got up early and left home at 7:45 a.m. She knew it would take longer than the usual 45 minutes from the Eisenhower Avenue station to Dupont Circle, but Kostiuk said in an email that she was expecting it to take maybe an hour and 15 minutes.

Varying degrees of pain felt on the first workday of a 15-week shutdown
Commuters board a bus at Braddock Road on the first workday of Metro’s 15-week shutdown of six Virginia stations.
But the shuttle ride to Crystal City took an hour. “It seemed to take forever,” she wrote. After getting off the shuttle to take the Blue Line and then her usual transfer to the Red Line, she got to work two hours after she set out. Around 8 a.m. outside the closed Braddock Road station, free shuttle buses came every five minutes or so, as Metro promised. But Jennifer Dollinger stood in a line of commuters for 20 minutes, watching as four mostly full buses took on the few passengers they could and then drove away. She said she’d wanted to come see how things went before looking at other options. But she said, “I’m mentally prepared for this to not go smoothly.” She said later by email that things went as well as she expected. Her usual 45-minute
commute to her job near the Archives station took an hour and 35 minutes. Bradley Rawls stood in the same line and waited 20 minutes, trying to be forgiving of Metro. He could live with the delays, he said, “as long as they do the work they promised.” But after his usual 35-minute commute to Gallery Place took an hour and 20 minutes, he emailed that Metro’s 30-minute estimate “appears to be very optimistic.” Metro spokeswoman Sherri Ly, however, said that “while there were some challenges with a small number of shuttle buses, the vast majority ran on schedule — approximately every five minutes or less during the morning rush hour. As anticipated, there were some hiccups as we fine-tune our operations
and customers get accustomed to the different travel options.” For some, the pain was relative. One seemingly cursed woman said as she waited for a train at Crystal City that it had taken her a half-hour to get there by shuttle from Braddock Road. It was better than last summer, when she lived along the Red Line during the closure of the Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland stations for platform repairs. Some days she spent an hour on the shuttle, said the woman, who said she is a federal worker and didn’t want to be named. And yes, she said, she lived through the Red Line closures only to move to Alexandria just before this shutdown. “I didn’t know it was going to happen until after I moved,” she said.

A 36-year-old man was fatally shot early Tuesday in the Barry Farm neighborhood of Southeast D.C., according to D.C. police. The shooting occurred just hours after five people, including a child, were wounded in a shooting near the Barry Farm Recreation Center on Monday. The incident was the latest in a spate of gunfire and other violence over the Memorial Day weekend that killed three people, including a 15-year-old boy in Congress Heights. In all, at least 20 people were shot in the District between Saturday and just after midnight Tuesday. One man was stabbed to death. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The EPA is requiring states in the bay’s watershed to fully implement a “pollution diet” for the Chesapeake by 2025. (AP)

THE DISTRICT The D.C. Council on Tuesday added millions to subsidize the city’s only public hospital and identified a new funding resource to repair the city’s deteriorated public housing stock with the final passage of a $15.5 billion budget for the next fiscal year. The budget yielded mixed results for Mayor Muriel Bowser, who saw a partial victory in her push for a new Banneker High School campus but could not stop lawmakers from cutting other top priorities, including a workforce housing fund and free fares on Circulator buses. In the end, the 13 members voted unanimously to approve the spending plan. The $15.5 billion budget dictates the city’s spending for the year starting Oct. 1. Local lawmakers have discretion over about $8.6 billion in the local portion of the budget, and made final amendments on Tuesday. The remainder of the budget is Medicaid and other federal money distributed according to formula. The council approved a $22.1 million operating subsidy for the city-owned United Medical Center in Southeast. City officials

want to close the hospital, which has been beset by financial trouble and operational lapses. Earlier this month, lawmakers cut the subsidy to $15 million, far short of the $40 million sought by Bowser, which hospital officials said they needed to stay afloat and avoid staff and service reductions. Lawmakers approved a transfer of $49 million from the reserves of the Washington Convention and Sports Authority to fix public housing, among other things — despite opposition from the city’s independent chief financial officer. The council also voted Tuesday to move the 2020 local and presidential primary election date to the first Tuesday of June instead of the third Tuesday. FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

High court backs part of Indiana abortion law Justices signal greater openness to states’ recent restrictions
5.7%
A $110M SALE
Firm buys SI to use brand outside print GETTY IMAGES
COURTS The Supreme Court signaled Tuesday it is more open to state restrictions on abortion, upholding an Indiana law supported by abortion opponents that regulates the disposal of fetal remains. At the same time, the justices declined to take on an issue closer to the core of abortion rights, rejecting the state’s appeal of a lower court ruling that blocked a ban on abortion based on the gender, race or disability of a fetus. Both provisions were contained in a law signed by Vice President Mike Pence in 2016 when he was Indiana’s governor. The court’s action keeps it out of an election-year review of the Indiana law amid a flurry of new state laws that go to the very heart of abortion rights. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey this month signed a law that would ban virtually all abortions, even in cases of incest and rape, and subject doctors who perform them to criminal prosecution. That law has yet to take effect and is being challenged in court. Other states have passed laws that would outlaw abortion once a fetal heartbeat has been detected, typically around six weeks of gestation. The high court is expected to hear at least one abortion-related
Two liberal justices dissented in a ruling on the disposal of fetal remains.
No clinics in Missouri? Missouri’s only abortion clinic could close by the end of the week because the state is threatening not to renew its license, which expires Friday, Planned Parenthood officials said.

case in its term that begins in October and ends in June 2020. In February, the justices blocked a Louisiana law that regulates abortion clinics, pending a full review. On Tuesday, with two liberal justices dissenting, the court allowed Indiana to enforce a requirement that abortion clinics
either bury or cremate fetal remains following an abortion, reversing a ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court that had blocked it. The justices said in an unsigned opinion that the case does not involve limits on abortion rights. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Ginsburg said in a short solo opinion that she believes the issue does implicate a woman’s right to have an abortion “without undue interference from the state.” Pence commended the court for “upholding a portion of Indiana law that safeguards the sanctity of human life by requiring that remains of aborted babies be treated with respect and dignity,” his spokeswoman said in a statement.

Last summer, China issued a travel warning for the U.S., telling its citizens to beware of shootings, robberies and high costs for medical care.

Bezos pledges to give half her $36B to charity BUSINESS MacKenzie Bezos has committed to giving away at least half her estimated $36 billion fortune to charity, joining more than 200 megadonors intent on using their billions to “help address society’s most pressing problems” and promote a culture of philanthropy. Bezos, a novelist and one of the original forces behind Amazon, announced that she has joined the Giving Pledge, a global initiative whose roster includes Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg and Robert F. Smith. The move comes just months after she finalized her divorce from Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos, who owns Express and The Washington Post. “My approach to philanthropy will continue to be thoughtful,” she wrote in a letter Tuesday. “It will take time and effort and care. But I won’t wait. And I will keep at it until the safe is empty.” MacKenzie Bezos didn’t specify how she would distribute the $18 billion earmarked through the Giving Pledge. Her philanthropy to date has focused on marriage equality, transitional housing for homeless families, and college scholarships for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors. In 2013, she founded Bystander Revolution, an anti-bullying organization, for which she is the executive director. RACHEL SIEGEL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

‘Unusual’ string of twisters
More than a quarter of these key members of Congress wouldn’t say when they were asked
For an 11th straight day, at least eight tornados were recorded in U.S.
It is difficult to know the reasons offices did not respond — some refuse to respond to surveylike requests, while others may have just been too busy. Beyond simply responding to the questions, 80% of Democrats said they read the entire report, compared with 48% of Republicans. Among the 65 offices that provided answers, only three lawmakers said they did not read the full report. Sen. Christopher A. Coons, DDel., of the Judiciary Committee did not read the entire report himself, according to spokesman Sean Colt, who said Coons read key portions and “was briefed extensively by staff and legal experts on the full report.” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., read the executive summaries of Volumes I and II and most of the redacted Mueller report but not the entire document, according to a spokesman. And Rep. Denny Heck, DWash., is “still finishing up” reading the report, according to his office, though a spokesman said he has read the executive summaries.
Committee members responded to queries on how their offices consumed the report The Post asked the offices of the 92 members of the House and Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees whether the lawmakers read the redacted Mueller report in its entirety.

Data: Ramadan brings a spike in Facebook use RELIGION The Muslim holy month of Ramadan, with its long days of fasting and prayer meant to draw worshippers closer to God and away from worldly distractions, is being reshaped by technology. People in the Middle East spend close to 58 million more hours on Facebook during Ramadan and watch more YouTube videos — everything from beauty tips and recipes to sports and TV dramas — than any other time of the year. “Consumption and time spent on our platforms does indeed increase,” said Ramez Shehadi, Facebook’s managing director for the Middle East and North Africa. People stay up a lot more at night during Ramadan and have more downtime — especially before iftar, the evening meal that breaks the daylong fast. Many also work shorter hours. All that translates to 5% more time spent on Facebook’s platforms, or what is nearly 58 million more hours, Shehadi said. Iftar evening meals are a major social affair during Ramadan, ranging from lavish spreads at home to decadent five-star hotel buffets. This translates into an 18% spike in searches for beauty tips on YouTube, compared to the rest of the year. Also, according to Google maps, trips to malls increase by more than 20% in the last weeks of Ramadan in preparation for the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which ends the holy month. AYA BATRAWY (AP)

WEATHER A swarm of tornadoes so tightly packed that one may have crossed the path carved by another tore across Indiana and Ohio on Monday night, smashing homes, blowing out windows and ending the school year early for some students because of damage to buildings. One person was killed and at least 130 were injured. The storms were among 55 twisters that forecasters said may have touched down Monday across eight states. The past couple of weeks have seen unusually high tornado activity in the U.S., with no immediate end to the pattern in sight. Storm reports posted online by the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center showed that 14 suspected tornadoes touched down in Indiana, 12 in Colorado and nine in Ohio. Seven were reported in Iowa, five in Nebraska, four in Illinois and three in Minnesota, with one in Idaho. Monday marked the recordtying 11th straight day with at least eight tornadoes in the U.S., said Patrick Marsh, a Storm Prediction Center meteorologist. The last such stretch was in 1980. “We’re getting big counts on a lot of these days, and that is certainly unusual,” Marsh said. The winds peeled away roofs, knocked houses off their foundations, toppled trees, brought down power lines and churned

POLITICS Rep. Justin Amash broke ranks with fellow Republicans when he said special counsel Robert Mueller’s report shows that President Trump took actions that “meet the threshold for impeachment,” arguing that the stark partisan divide over the findings was because “few members of Congress have read the report.” While it’s common for politicians to draw very different conclusions from the same set of facts, the Michigan congressman’s suggestion in several tweetstorms this past week is bolder — that most lawmakers simply ignored Mueller’s report. So how many lawmakers actually read the entire 448-page redacted report released April 18? A Washington Post canvass of House and Senate members on the relevant committees — the Judiciary and Intelligence committees in both chambers — found most saying they have read the publicly released report in its entirety, but over 3 in 10 declined to respond to five yesor-no questions after repeated contact attempts, offered unclear answers or said they have not read the full report.

up so much debris that it was visible on radar. Highway crews had to use snowplows to clear an Ohio interstate. “I just got down on all fours and covered my head with my hands,” said Francis Dutmers, who with his wife headed for the basement of their home in Vandalia, about 10 miles outside Dayton, Ohio, when the storm hit with a
“very loud roar” Monday night. In Celina, Ohio, 81-year-old Melvin Dale Hannah was killed when a parked car was blown into his house, Mayor Jeffrey Hazel said Tuesday. “There’s areas that truly look like a war zone,” he said. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency in three hard-hit counties, allowing
the state to suspend normal purchasing procedures and quickly provide supplies like water and generators. A tornado with winds up to 140 mph struck near Trotwood, Ohio, a community of about 24,500 people 8 miles outside Dayton. “If I didn’t move quick enough, what could have happened?” said Erica Bohannon of Trotwood, who hid in a closet with her son and their dog. She emerged to find herself looking at the sky. Their roof was gone. Just before midnight, about 40 minutes after that tornado cut through, the National Weather Service tweeted that another one was crossing its path. Only a few minor injuries were reported in Dayton. Fire Chief Jeffrey Payne called that “pretty miraculous,” attributing it to people heeding early warnings. Sirens went off ahead of the storm. Outbreaks of 50 or more tornadoes are not uncommon, having happened 63 times in U.S. history, with three instances of more than 100 twisters, Marsh said. But Monday’s swarm was unusual because it happened over a particularly wide geographic area and came amid an especially active stretch, he said. As for why it’s happening, Marsh said high pressure over the Southeast and an unusually cold trough over the Rockies are forcing warm, moist air into the central U.S., triggering repeated severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. And neither system is showing signs of moving, he said. ANGIE WANG AND JOHN MINCHILLO (AP)

Study: Women perform better in warm offices Women have a new weapon they can use to make their case against the chilly office conditions many experience each summer. A new study shows women tend to perform better on certain skills when the temperature is a little warmer, making them more productive, while men tend to perform better when the temperature is a bit cooler. In a paper released last Wednesday by the journal PLOS One, researchers at the University of Southern California and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center reported that in experiments, test scores on verbal and math skills improved for women by 15% as the temperatures rose, and were better for men when they dropped. Researcher and co-author Tom Chang said the explanation for the difference isn’t entirely clear, but some research suggests the effect may be biological, or based on size. Chang acknowledges that it’s also unclear whether the same productivity effects would be seen in a workplace environment as in the student participants, but suggests the results are still a reminder that employers should be more mindful that indoor temperatures aren’t just about making employees comfortable, but about making them more productive, too.

Maryland football player Jordan McNair died last June after a grueling workout.
TWITTER VIDEO
Kuznetsov denies ever using drugs
BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST
Today marks one year since Jordan McNair ran at the direction of his coaches, a year since he left the field under duress, a year since officials failed to promptly diagnose and treat him for heatstroke, a year since he was taken from Maryland’s campus by ambulance. He died 15 days later. Now the football coach is different, the athletic training staff is different, and the structure of the school’s sports medicine model will be different. Change is good, and there has been much of it. But a year later, the question remains: Do you, parents of Maryland, trust the people who run your flagship university with the lives of your children? Without rehashing the ways the university failed McNair, and there were many, it’s fair to continue to scrutinize the school’s handling of not only the events of May 29, 2018, but of the fallout. Beginning June 15, 2018 — a day after Damon Evans, then
the acting athletic director, first addressed McNair’s death — reporters at The Washington Post began requesting communiques among Maryland officials regarding the May 29 workout. That’s our job: explain to the public how officials acted in a crisis so that those who failed can be held accountable. Maryland is a public institution, and such conversations are required to be available to the public through the Maryland Public Information Act. It’s been more than 11 months since that original request. We don’t have all the answers. The university released roughly 800 pages of emails, and it has made public two reports: one on the events of May 29 and the athletic training practices, another on the culture of the football program. But there were shenanigans along the way that should make the public suspicious. What we know is that the university elected to withhold 69 pages of Evans emails. A school attorney wrote that “the University finds that the disclosure of
BARBARA HADDOCK TAYLOR (THE BALTIMORE SUN VIA AP)
Maryland tragedy: We’re still waiting for better answers
these materials, even in part, would be contrary to the public interest because disclosure would inhibit free and frank debate and discussion within the University, would chill governmental decision-making, and would impair the integrity of the University’s decisionmaking process.” I’ll add: and could expose potentially egregious errors in judgment by several parties, many of whom are still employed in important jobs in the athletic department. Last June, when he was promoted to athletic director, Evans spoke about his past, troubled enough that he lost his job at Georgia. “What you have to do is you have to get back and you have
to learn,” he said then. “You have to grow. The journey is about growth.” How is Maryland growing from this tragedy? A new football coach, Mike Locksley, is a step. The new sports medicine system will be another. But we can’t stop asking for more detailed answers. To do otherwise would fail McNair’s memory, as well as the school’s current and future athletes. A year after Jordan McNair went down, the University of Maryland is hiding behind the letter of the law rather than embracing the chance to lead. So st we wonder, still: Can we entrust our children to these people?
Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov said in a statement he has “never” done drugs after a video showing him sitting next to two lines of a white powdery substance surfaced Monday on Twitter. Kuznetsov is not shown interacting with the powder. In a statement to Russian outlet Sport-Express, Kuznetsov said the video is from a year ago in Las Vegas, where the Capitals won the Stanley Cup. He said he visited a friend’s hotel room and left upon seeing women he didn’t know and “an unclear substance on the table.” A Capitals spokesman said Monday the team was aware of the video and gathering more facts. Kuznetsov recorded 21 goals and 51 assists in 76 games this season. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

down the ice with his lid still on the ice is a rare sight in the NHL, which put in a grandfathered helmet rule in 1979 and recently did the same with visors. With the Stanley Cup on the line, safety wasn’t really on Krug’s mind. “I was battling with their guy in front, got up without a helmet and wasn’t too happy about it,” Krug said. “Just came down the ice and had a chance to make a hockey hit. And it turned out to be a good one. So it was big.” Minutes after an emotional comeback victory, Krug was glad he got a haircut a few days ago.
Told of the planned rule change to make players go to the bench, Krug said simply, “Then I’ll go to the bench.” “It’s a great rule,” he said. “I agree with it.” Some players may resist the rule change, which has already been instituted in the American Hockey League. “I’m not sure,” said Radko Gudas, the NHL Players Association representative for the Philadelphia Flyers. “If guys feel comfortable playing without a helmet, why wouldn’t he?”

BLUES AT BRUINS | GAME 2: 8 TONIGHT, NBCSN
STANLEY CUP FINAL Torey Krug worried afterward that his pregnant wife would not really like him flying down the ice and delivering a bone-jarring hit without a helmet on. There wasn’t anything he could do about it now. Krug provided a signature moment of the Bruins’ 4-2 victory over the Blues in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday. After getting his helmet ripped off in a tussle with David Perron, he raced 150 feet down the ice seconds later and absolutely drilled Robert Thomas with an open-ice body check. Krug stared down St. Louis goaltender Jordan Binnington, then quietly skated away. The hit fired up the bench and the Boston crowd, but it could be the last time a play like that happens. NHL general managers have endorsed a proposal that would require a player without a helmet to go to the bench. The NHL Board of Governors has not yet voted on it. Krug’s old-school look flying

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK
Staples is still pushing boundaries
GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
Morrissey vs. the OGs The rocker tries — and fails — to punch above his weight on a new covers album
ALBUM REVIEW Morrissey delivers a dozen covers on his album “California Son,” which reimagines works by such masters as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon as well as more obscure musicians. It’s a bold move by the controversial former Smiths singer, a sonic faceoff against some of music’s giants. It deserves to be taken song by song and scored like a boxing bout over 12 rounds. Who’s ready to rumble? The album, which came out Friday, kicks off with Morrissey’s take on Jobriath’s ’70s gem “Morning Starship,” and the so-called Pope of Mope nicely keeps its trippy vibe but modernizes the sound. It’s a good opening choice, and credit to Morrissey for introducing
Jobriath to a new generation. 1-0 to Morrissey. But Mitchell’s twangy, rich “Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow” is next, and Morrissey can’t lay a glove on the original, so it’s 1-1. He does better with Dylan’s “Only a Pawn in Their Game,” with the Englishman giving the folk tune a slight Celtic feel but failing to match Dylan’s sarcastic bite. Morrissey goes down 1-2. He then painfully fails to connect on his cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie’s “Suffer the Little Children,” turning the original’s spiky mania into a lounge song — 1-3. He does better with Phil Ochs’ “Days of Decision,” his voice glorious, to make it 2-3. He also surprisingly gets a point with Roy Orbison’s “It’s Over,” matching the American
icon’s tenderness and even upping the heartbreak to bring the score to 3-3. B u t M o r - ‘California Son’ r issey is no Morrissey match when it comes to The Fifth Dimension’s “Wedding Bell Blues.” The original is lush and heartfelt; Morrissey’s is camp, and now we’re at 3-4. He seems to have completely misunderstood Burt Bacharach’s “Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets.” When Dionne Warwick sang this track, it was a soaring ballad; when Morrissey does, it’s a small pop ditty. Updated score: 3-5. Actually, make that 3-6 — he also doesn’t
do enough with Gary Puckett’s “Lady Willpower.” Morrissey is in trouble, but he might pull this off if he finishes strong. Unfortunately, the next one is Simon’s “When You Close Your Eyes.” Simon sings in service of the song; Morrissey is posing in front of it. That makes the score 3-7. And his cover of Tim Hardin’s “Lenny’s Tune” lacks the original’s haunting sadness — 3-8. The folly of the project is truly laid bare when Morrissey tackles Melanie’s “Some Say (I Got Devil).” The original is eerie and complex, an irresistible feminist anthem. While Morrissey croons hard, this was never the song for him. Final score: 3-9 — an easy decision. MARK KENNEDY (AP)
Time hasn’t dampened the urgency in Mavis Staples’ voice. Now 79, the legend has one clear enemy on “We Get By,” her terrific album released Friday: the status quo. These songs were written by Ben Harper, and the union is fruitful and moving. The standout is “Stronger,” a rocking track on which Staples’ voice stretches and soars. “Don’t need a house on the hill / Don’t need my face on a dollar bill,” she sings. That’s an idea — Staples may not need her face on our money, but it’s the least we can do to thank her. George Washington has had a long run. Who’s down with Staples on the $ $1? M.K.

Netflix addresses restrictive abortion law
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos has weighed in on Georgia’s anti-abortion law, telling Variety that the streamer will “rethink our entire investment in Georgia” should the legislation stand up in court. The highly restrictive bill was signed into law May 7 and is set to go into effect Jan. 1. “Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there, while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to,” Sarandos said.

entertainment HBO’s campaign trail documentary manages to already feel outdated FILM REVIEW Quick, before his presidential ambitions vaporize completely, let’s rewind to a happier point in the ascension story of Beto O’Rourke, the Kennedy-toothed former congressman from El Paso who came close to unseating the incumbent Republican senator, Ted Cruz, in the 2018 midterms — which would have been something. It was something, as filmmaker David Modigliani’s admiring HBO documentary “Running With Beto” attempts to portray. The film, which premiered
Tuesday, intimately follows O’Rourke’s earnest, grassroots campaign as it gains momentum over several months, riding shotgun with the candidate and his closest aides as he road-trips to all 254 Texas counties and speaks passionately to small crowds. O’Rourke’s luck improves, the universe loosens and the hopedfor mojo bursts through. The crowds get larger; an excitement takes hold; the national media develops a crush. Though the events seen in “Running With Beto” are barely a year old, the film can’t help but feel outdated and already archival. Whatever passion the 46-year-old stirred in his home state (and beyond) has since morphed this spring into a

rises above a desire to be a fly on the wall, on the off chance that it will witness history. Oddly, “Running With Beto” is most compelling when O’Rourke isn’t
in it. In moving portraits of some of his die-hard supporters, the film finally becomes the soaring ode to grassroots politics that it desires to be. If O’Rourke were part of the millennial generation, the boundless optimism seen in “Running With Beto” (and running with him still) would sound much more melodious, because if you’re a millennial, selling out ceases to be any sort of character flaw. This is the Instagram crowd, which was taught from birth to sense their inherent gifts and seize their own destinies, with no limit to self-branding opportunities. At its heart, “Running With Beto” wants to be a movie about Pete Buttigieg. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“The truth is that her followers aren’t her customers. Understanding who will actually buy from you and what they will buy is a key business lesson.” @BAYDIANGIRL, tweeting about Instagram influencer Arii’s claim that she
had to shut down her online clothing brand because she couldn’t sell 36 shirts. Twitter users turned the moment into a business class, arguing that Arii — who has 2.6 million followers — needs to increase her advertising and build a more genuine connection with her fans if she wants to sell products.
“Does the dog talk to its owner to make sure the patty isn’t salted?” @SUPERSETGREG, tweeting about a viral restaurant order that Twitter user @annaesilman shared Monday night. The order that came in to an unnamed “fancy” New York restaurant asks for one beef burger with no bread, cheese, salt, pepper, onion, lettuce, bacon or pickles. The ticket asks that the patty be cooked medium rare and be “absolutely plain,” noting in two separate places that “this is for a dog.”
