A swarm of bees caused a brief commotion in New York’s Times Square on Tuesday after they made their home atop a hot dog stand. The NYPD’s beekeepers unit responded to the scene and safely removed the bees. WABC-TV showed thousands of bees crowding the top of the vendor’s umbrella as a beekeeper sucked them into a hose. In a tweet, the NYPD said that “no tourist was harmed and no bee was left behind.” (AP)
The New Hanover, N.C., sheriff’s office thought it had found 13 pounds of fentanyl (worth $2 million on the street) in a home along with other drugs and paraphernalia. A field test indicated it was the opioid, justifying many charges against the suspects. Most of the charges evaporated when a state lab concluded it wasn’t fentanyl. The sheriff’s office sent the powder to a private lab; the results arrived this week. It was $8 worth of sugar. (AP)

Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema had no love for La Vie, the latest spot from the Social Restaurant Group.
La Vie? Non, merci.
On Wednesday, Washington Post dining critic Tom Sietsema published a rare zero-star review, titled, “La Vie on the Wharf is so bad I’m only writing about it as a warning.” Here are some of his most scathing criticisms of the new Mediterranean restaurant. TOM SIETSEMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)
Ambiance issues
The seafood is ... fishy
Taste test
“Combine Las Vegas with a Carnival cruise, and you have an idea of what to expect,” Sietsema wrote of the decor, which includes a bar backed with “portholes” with an underwater view of a rooftop swimming pool.
Sietsema wrote that the ceviche he received resembled the dish “in name only.” “Dry and crumbly, the halibut flecked with minced yellow peppers at La Vie seems to be auditioning for the role of a space meal. (Just add water.)”
“Was the pale green puree under the vapid zucchini tortellini meant to taste like nothing?” the critic wrote, wondering whether the cooks are even tasting their work. One roast chicken entree tasted as if a “cup of hot oil” had been poured over it.
Failing the basics
Not-so-sweet sweets
Sietsema’s kicker
The critic found some of the menu’s basic items lacking: “The cheddar on my hamburger appeared to have been applied straight from the fridge. Unmelted, the cheese was stiff, cool to the touch.”
Sietsema also disliked La Vie’s desserts, writing that Denny’s makes a superior molten chocolate cake. “Coconut sorbet should not smack of frozen candle wax. Crepes should not remind you of leather.”
“The likelihood of your joining the Clean Plate Club here is as good as Omarosa Manigault Newman getting invited to a Christmas party at the White House. La Vie? Pardon my French, but non merci.”

Raccoons take public transit, too The National Mall and Memorial Parks service spotted a raccoon hitching a ride on the D.C. Circulator. The park service shared a photo of the furry passenger via Facebook on Sunday, adding that “spotting wildlife is not guaranteed” on the Circulator. The creature soon became known as “Bus Raccoon” on social media. “Bus Raccoon” is of questionable relation to D.C.’s other wellknown raccoon, “Trash Raccoon,” who rose to fame in February of 2017 for hanging onto the back of a trash truck.

BALTIMORE The gunshot that killed a Baltimore detective one day before he was to testify in front of a grand jury investigating dirty cops was likely self-inflicted, leaders of an independent review board announced Wednesday. The panel’s unanimous decision is the latest twist in a real-life whodunit that has captivated Baltimore for 10 months. When 43-year-old Detective Sean Suiter was found Nov. 15, dying from a bullet wound to the skull, police and the state medical examiner’s office called his on-duty death a homicide. Authorities launched a massive manhunt. But from the start, there was widespread skepticism about the police narrative suggesting Suiter approached a suspicious man in a vacant West Baltimore lot, got into a struggle and was shot with his own gun. Nobody was ever charged in his death. Now, in their 207-page final report, the seven-member independent review board says all the evidence they’ve reviewed “simply does not support anyone other than Detective Suiter

himself firing the fatal shot.” Among the evidence: The gun barrel was in contact with Suiter’s Suiter head when the fatal shot was fired. Nobody else’s DNA was found on his weapon. Blood spatter was found inside the right-handed detective’s right shirt cuff, indicating his hand and arm were in a high position when the shot was fired. They also say the autopsy
revealed no defensive wounds to support the police narrative that he had struggled with an assailant. “The community should not fear that a ‘cop killer’ is on the loose,” the report states. The broad findings suggesting Suiter took his own life were first announced earlier this week by a lawyer for the detective’s widow. A lawyer for Nicole Suiter said Monday she was “shocked by their determination and very upset.” DAVID McFADDEN (AP)

local D.C. has seen 37 days above 90 degrees — with 15 in August alone REGION At times in June and July, it almost felt as if we might end up having a cooler summer than we’ve become accustomed to. Or at least not a really hot one. We did see a spike of extreme heat after Independence Day, but that’s typical, and it wasn’t as bad as some heat waves that time of year. Then August hit — which has pushed the number of 90-degree
days this summer into abovenormal territory. We’ve now piled up 37 such days this year, exceeding the 1981-2010 average of 36. Including Wednesday, D.C. has now seen 15 days at or above 90 in August alone, the most of any month this summer. We should end with 17. The normal is 10. As we saw during a few blissful days last weekend, August is not July. It often sends us a taste or two of autumn, as the first cold fronts with some power start reaching us. But those tastes have been fleeting, and we’re ending

From here until the end of the heat season, Washington tends to pick up about three to four more such days. We should easily do that this year. Although the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast might get a brief break in intense heat heading into the weekend, a ridge of high pressure is expected to expand again early next week. This should mean more 90s for many. IAN LIVINGSTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO
PAUL J. WIEDEFELD
Metro riders react to brighter station lighting Metro Reasons
Improved lighting continuously ranks among Metro customers’ top priorities, and is especially critical for people with low-vision or other disabilities. So when we started thinking about how to improve safety and the customer experience through the Back2Good program, one of our goals was to make stations cleaner and brighter. If you recently traveled through Union Station, Farragut West, McPherson Square, Federal Triangle or Metro Center’s lower level, you may have noticed these stations are significantly brighter than in the past. That’s because we recently launched a multiyear project to completely replace the trackbed lighting at all 48 underground stations with new, energy efficient LED light fixtures. This will help make stations brighter and safer, reduce energy consumption and save Metro money in the long-term. The five completed stations are at least twice as bright as before, with most stations four to six times brighter. In fact, McPherson Square received the most significant improvement, with the station now eight times brighter than it was last month. We’re working to complete upgrades at 15 additional locations over the next year, and keep rolling to complete all 48 stations quickly and efficiently.
@MetroReasons One side of Foggy Bottom has new LED lighting; the other does not. The contrast is striking.
Curtis Roberts @RefractiveComm New @wmata wall lighting lightens the mood topside and lower trackside. Good improvement!
Alex Block McPherson Square (WMATA photo)
Daniel Newman @CreativeNewman The last couple weeks of @wmata Blue/Orange/ Silver shutdown were painful, but there’s cell service in the tunnel now and the stations are clean and better lit. That feels like progress.
✔ Lowered the tracks through Rhode Island Ave Station to improve accessibility and ensure level boarding for all customers
Casey Cook @caseycook25 Somebody turned on ALL the lights at my metro stop.
RIDER UPDATE
Next week marks the end of Metro’s major summer trackwork season, with all six lines returning to normal service. Thank you for your patience as we completed major safety and reliability projects over the past two months. ✔ Conducted structural repair work (including concrete replacement) at Metro’s oldest outdoor station
@alex_block I think these are new LED lights at McPherson Sq. Excellent illumination, and warm color light too.
✔ Rebuilt track infrastructure at the tightest curve in the Metrorail system ✔ Significantly upgraded lighting at four downtown stations

Royal wedding outfits will be put on display
Police in riot gear fire toward university students protesting Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega in Managua in May.
Report from U.N. details repression in Nicaragua Ortega’s government cited for closed trials, torture, illegal arrests NICARAGUA A United Nations report released Wednesday on four months of unrest in Nicaragua describes a comprehensive effort of repression by the government that extends from the streets to the courts. The report by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights calls on the government of President Daniel Ortega to immediately halt the persecution of protesters and disarm the masked civilians who have been responsible for many of the killings and arbitrary detentions.
More than 300 people have been killed since mid-April, when retirees and students first marched to protest cuts to Nicaragua’s social security benefits decreed by Ortega. Neighboring Costa Rica has been flooded with thousands of requests for asylum by people fleeing Nicaragua. The report describes illegal arrests, torture and closed trials. Doctors, professors and judges who have spoken out or protested have been dismissed from their jobs to discourage people from participating in or supporting the protests. “The level of persecution is such that many of those who have participated in the protests, defended the rights of the protesters, or simply expressed dissenting opinion, have been forced to
hide, have left Nicaragua or are trying to do so,” according to the U.N. report. Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the U.N. human rights chief, urged the international community to take “concrete action to prevent the current crisis in Nicaragua from descending into deeper social and political turmoil.” “There are currently no conditions for the free and safe exercise of the rights to freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly and association,” the U.N. report said. Ortega’s government dismissed the report as baseless and relying on anti-government media accounts. It denied accusations of excessive use of force against protesters.
The outfits Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wore at their wedding are to go on public display later this year at the ceremony’s venue, Windsor Castle. Royal fashion fans will be able to get a close look at the bride’s silk Givenchy wedding dress and 16foot veil, as well as the diamond-and-platinum tiara loaned to Meghan by Queen Elizabeth II. There will also be a copy of the frock-coat uniform of the Blues and Royals regiment that Harry wore. The exhibition will be at Windsor Castle from Oct. 26 to Jan. 6, and at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, Scotland, from June 14 to Oct. 6, 2019. (AP)

Trump touts Maria response After report of 3,000 storm deaths, he says U.S. did ‘a fantastic job’

POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday defended his administration’s response to a devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico last year, despite a study released this week that said there was a spike in deaths on the island in the six months that followed. “I think we did a fantastic job,” Trump said, responding to a question from a reporter at the White House. He called the emergency on the island “by far the most difficult” of the areas of the U.S. and its territories ravaged by a series of hurricanes. “It’s hard to get things on the island,” Trump said, comparing the situation to response efforts in Texas and Florida, which also suffered significant damage. The president’s remarks came a day after a sweeping new report from George Washington University found that there were an estimated 2,975 excess deaths on the island after Maria made landfall in September 2017. The Puerto Rican government embraced the findings as the official death toll, ranking Maria among

Trump and his administration had been heavily criticized for not responding to the crisis in Puerto Rico as thoroughly as they did to the disasters caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma in the continental U.S. As he had in the wake of the storms last year, Trump emphasized the magnitude of the challenge Wednesday, calling the back-to-back hurricanes “the likes of which we have never seen before,” and sought to shift blame onto Puerto Rico, citing the U.S. territory’s debt and infrastructure problems as contributing to the crisis. “When the hurricane came, people said, ‘What are we going to do about the electrical?’ That wasn’t really the hurricane. It was before the hurricane,” Trump said. “We’ve put a lot of money and a lot of effort into Puerto Rico.” He said Gov. Ricardo Rossello was “happy with the job we’ve done.” At a news conference Tuesday, Rossello accepted the GWU report, which found that his administration was largely unprepared for the magnitude of the storm, and acknowledged he had “made mistakes.” DAVID NAKAMURA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTONPOST.COM SPEAKING OF SCIENCE
Study: Laziness helps species avoid extinction No one is questioning whether leaving the couch to go for a walk or run or to lift heavy objects would personally do you some good. But all that exercise may be a shortsighted game of checkers in an evolutionary chess match that’s been going on for eons. A scientific paper this month in the Journal of Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences has found evidence that species that exert less energy on average have a better shot in the circle of life. Luke Strotz, a postdoctoral researcher at Kansas University’s Biodiversity Institute, and his colleagues spent years studying the fossils of gastropods and bivalves. They compiled a database of some 46,000 specimens from nearly 300 species and found that higher basal metabolic rates (the amount of energy an organism expends while at rest) “were a reliable predictor of extinction likelihood.” While the reasons remain a mystery, Strotz hypothesized that maybe animals developed a high metabolic rate because they had a high mortality rate — and needed to mature quickly and reproduce young before they died from predation. He says his research — and similar studies — can help conservationists understand which animals are most likely to go extinct because of climate change. CLEVE R. WOOTSON JR.

nation+world White House counsel has been point person for Russia investigation POLITICS White House counsel Don McGahn, who has maintained a front-row seat in Trump administration controversies and accomplishments, will be leaving in the fall after the expected Senate confirmation vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump said Wednesday. The departure of Trump’s top lawyer in the West Wing will
create a vacancy in an office that has been closely involved in the c o n f l i c t o ve r special counsel McGahn Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. McGahn’s exit also continues the churn of staffers as the administration sets records for turnover. Unlike some less-amiable administration separations, Trump praised McGahn on Twitter, saying that he had “worked with Don for a long time and truly appreciate his service!” McGahn’s
departure had been expected as the White House enters the fall elections and looks to win confirmation for Kavanaugh, the president’s second opportunity to place his imprint on the Supreme Court. But McGahn’s time has also been marked by tumult as he has been the main point of contact inside the White House for the Russia investigation led by Mueller. McGahn, who has met with investigators at least three times for many hours, threatened to resign last year if Trump continued to press for Mueller’s removal. KEN THOMAS AND ZEKE MILLER (AP)

Red tide roils Florida
Lifeguard Mariano Martinez wears a mask to fight the stench at Lido Beach.
CHRIS O’MEARA (AP)
SIESTA KEY, FLA. Even as she sat under the brilliant Florida sun, her toes covered in sugar-white sand, Alex McShane wasn’t enjoying her summer vacation. Florida’s worst red tide in more than a decade had turned the aqua-blue surf to a rusty dull brown. And then there were the lifeguards. They were wearing gas masks. With no mask of her own, McShane, 24, coughed, and the stench was giving her a headache — telltale symptoms of the monster algal bloom spanning the southern Gulf Coast. It is killing untold numbers of marine animals, from Bradenton to Naples. As the outbreak nears the year mark with no sign of easing, it’s no longer a threat to just marine life. Business owners in the hardest-hit counties report they have lost nearly $90 million and have laid off about 300 workers because of the red tide and a separate freshwater algal bloom in the state’s largest lake. Together, the two blooms have caused a sharp drop in tourism. A pair of toxic algal blooms striking the state at the same time is rare and, in this case, especially lethal. A red tide is a natural phenomenon that develops miles offshore before making its way to the coast, where it feeds on a variety of pollutants. It’s unclear whether climate change and pollution from humans have made this particular outbreak even worse. But scientists have found that the algae thrive in warmer waters and increased carbon dioxide levels. August has been brutal for Sarasota County, where McShane sat on the beach at Siesta Key. In the second week of the month — one of the worst of the red-tide bloom — small-business revenue fell by as much as 50 percent,

according to a survey by the local convention and visitors bureau. At the Hub restaurant, a short walk from the beach, manager Tim Wong tried to be positive. “If it’s going to hit, this is the best time, because it’s the slow season for us,” he said. “It could be gone tomorrow — you never know.”
But others worry that the painful slow season, which stretches from August to November, will be tough to endure. “I’m prepared for the slow season, but this is scary,” Tom Kouvatsos said last week after yet another breakfast and lunch with hardly any diners at his Village Cafe. “This is just
two weeks. What if it stays for two months? How can I carry my kitchen staff for two months?” The longest red tide on record is a 30-month marathon of misery that started in 1994. State officials say the economic impact, compiled from surveys that have circulated for only a few weeks, is expected to worsen as the outbreak continues. McShane, who traveled from Ellicott City, Md., with her parents for a weeklong visit, scanned the nearly deserted beach, which reeked. “Gosh, should we be out here?” she wondered. “I definitely wouldn’t go in the water. This is as close as I’m getting.” Ten miles away at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, Gretchen Lovewell and her crew responded to an emergency call. They drove to Manasota Key Beach, an hour drive south, where a baby dolphin was spotted on the edge of the surf. The calf was dead, but its carcass could yield valuable tissue samples that would add to the understanding of how the toxin kills. The red tide’s poisonous algae is a variety called Karenia brevis that is native to the Gulf of Mexico. It breaks out every year, and its neurotoxin disorients and paralyzes marine life. In her nine years at Mote, Lovewell has never seen animals die on this scale. More than 2,000 tons of dead marine animals have been removed from the coasts of the five hardest-hit counties, according to cleanup reports. The baby dolphin was the 13th recovered. “It definitely takes a toll on you, dealing with so much death,” Lovewell said. “When this is all said and done, I’m going to have to go into a room and scream and cry a little.” DARRYL FEARS AND
POLITICS Racism immediately became an issue in the Florida governor’s race on Wednesday as both nominees made predictions: The Democrat said voters aren’t looking for a bigot, while the Republican said voters shouldn’t “monkey this up” by choosing his African-American opponent. Hours after their primary victories, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum and Rep. Ron DeSantis, above, made it clear the race is going to be nasty. Asked if he’s afraid of President Trump’s support for DeSantis, Gillum told CNN: “I actually believe that Florida and its rich diversity are going to be looking for a governor who’s going to bring us together, not divide us. Not misogynist, not racist, not bigots.” On Fox News, DeSantis called Gillum an “articulate” candidate, but said “the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting this state.” The Florida Democratic Party immediately decried DeSantis’ comment as racist. The DeSantis campaign said that his comments were directed at Gillum’s policies, not the candidate himself. DeSantis came from behind with the help of Trump to beat Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. The Bernie Sanders backed-Gillum upset a field of five that included ex-U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham. BRENDAN

BIG SWINGS AT QB
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
Last chance to impress The Redskins expect to play only second- and third-stringers in their preseason finale at Baltimore tonight
(7:30, NBCSWA). For the backups, it’s a final opportunity to make lasting impressions ahead of Saturday’s 4 p.m.

keeping an extra tight end or quarterback. Here are five players to watch tonight.
Kevin Hogan
Samaje Perine
Cam Sims
Geron Christian
Robert Griffin III
Redskins quarterback
Redskins running back
Redskins wide receiver
Redskins tackle
Ravens quarterback
The Redskins swapped sixth-round picks with the Browns this spring to acquire the third-year passer from Cleveland, but he’s a long shot to make the roster. Hogan looked terrific against Denver with two late touchdown passes, but he’s probably auditioning for a job elsewhere. The Redskins will likely let him play the whole game, and a solid effort would make him a tough cut. But they’ll likely cut him unless backup Colt McCoy’s sore hand doesn’t improve by Saturday. The Redskins figure to pass often tonight to learn more about fringe receivers.
The Redskins need to keep two players among backs Rob Kelley, Kapri Bibbs and Perine. Teams like to hold on to players they draft, and Perine was taken in the fourth round last year. He wound up leading the team in rushing with 603 yards, but he averaged only 3.4 per carry and had just one TD. Kelley is better on special teams, and Bibbs has the best hands of the bunch. Perine was supposed to be a wrecking ball, but he’s been pestered by injuries, including a sprained ankle this preseason. Perine has to prove he’s healthy and powerful. Otherwise, he’ll be gone.
He’s the biggest surprise of camp, looking better in the red zone than former firstround pick Josh Doctson. Sims, an undrafted rookie from Alabama, missed last week with a thigh injury after impressive games against the Patriots and Jets. He grabbed a touchdown between two New York defenders that was negated by a penalty. The Redskins love Sims’ athleticism and his 6-foot-5 frame, which lets quarterback Alex Smith throw him 50-50 balls. Sims probably doesn’t need a breakout game to make the club, but one could save him from the scout team.
The third-round pick this spring has been a huge disappointment so far. His value is supposedly as a tackle who can play either side, but so far he looks like a confused rookie. The Redskins need Christian to be left tackle Trent Williams’ backup. However, look for Ty Nsekhe to move back to the left side and Christian to work on the right. Christian is better at pass protection and really needs to be quicker on run blocks. A season spent bulking up in the weight room and learning the scheme will help him, but whether he is Williams’ successor is debatable.
A rookie wonder for the Redskins in 2012, Griffin is now battling for the third spot with Baltimore. The Ravens drafted Lamar Jackson in the first round to be the heir to starter Joe Flacco. That leaves RGIII as a long shot to make the team, and his preseason hasn’t made him indispensable. Griffin can still run, but his decisions in the pocket look no better than in his Redskins days. Griffin said playing his old team isn’t personal, and sticking with Baltimore is his biggest worry. If he’s released, this could be his NFL exit. He’s 28 and teams tend to prefer younger and cheaper options.

My D.C. dream day
I like getting together with friends across the District and finding a fun brunch to go to. We just did A Rake’s Progress and that was really fun. A Rake’s Progress has whimsical storytelling that accompanies every meal. What’s really cool is you’re drinking local wine at brunch. So on top of getting this locally made, amazing brunch food, you’re drinking Early Mountain Vineyards rosé and Thibaut-Janisson sparkling, which are some of my favorite Virginia wines, throughout your meal.

AJ Dronkers has always been the guy with the restaurant and bar recommendations — so much so that he made it his job. Dronkers is the associate publisher at Edible D.C., a quarterly magazine all about food and drink in and around the District, part of a network of Edible publications across the country. Dronkers, 32, has put his wine and spirits know-how to the test this year, heading up the first local distillery guide in the magazine’s four-year history and creating a local wine guide for this fall’s issue, coming out Sept. 15. “It was born out of a love for local distilleries and local bartenders and mixologists that have been getting national recognition for our bar scene,” Dronkers says. You’ll want to take notes on his dream day: True to form, he’s got hacks for making your D.C. eating and drinking experience better. After sweating it out at SoulCycle, my dream is to find a farmers market. What I love about the D.C. region is, especially in summer, there’s a farmers market almost every day of the week. I’d probably leaf through a cookbook the night before and flag a couple recipes I want to try so I know what I’m looking for. Mountain
View Farm is definitely one of my favorite [vendors] for produce, and they always have tons of fresh herbs. I just grabbed a bunch of purple basil and fresh chives, because I was making a mascarpone, chive, wasabi spread to go with a tomato salad. I love to do a little prep work just so it’s easy for dinner later.
I love going out to Virginia wine country. One of my hacks is going a little more than 45 minutes out. Almost everyone is going to the usual-suspect wineries that are 30 to 45 minutes out. Once you go about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes out, you start to hit Purcellville and some of those areas that are quieter. I love Otium Cellars, I love going to RdV Vineyards. There’s some really cute wineries if you’re willing to drive just a little farther. You come back late afternoon, early evening, and you start to mobilize for dinner. I really am all about simple cooking, like not overwhelming. There’s lots of ways to make a really simple, fresh meal without it feeling like you’re slaving away in the kitchen. We’ll tell everyone to bring drinks and maybe some appetizers and we’ll amass on some rooftop. I’m a little bit of a freak when it comes to social games. I love to play charades, and I have a crazy box of games. There’s another version of charades called reverse charades, where there’s one guesser and everyone else acts. Usually I’ll try to sneak that on the group. We usually barhop or end up dancing. We love Trade. They always have DJs, outdoor space until like 11 p.m. and drag performances during the week. It’s one we consider our go-to. (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE / FOR EXPRESS)

Check out this stacked lineup More than 100 authors and just shy of 11 hours. The logistical challenge of the National Book Festival is clear even to those who prefer words to numbers: There’s just no way to see it all. That’s the downside to the Library of Congress’ annual event, now in its 18th year, which again boasts an impressive mix of veteran authors and newcomers across an array of genres. “It’s a really spectacular lineup,” says the festival’s literary director, Marie Arana, who kicked off the planning process way back in December. “It’s a lot of work to pull it off, but as soon as the festival happens, everybody wants to do it again because it’s such a happy thing.” And dizzying. If you’re overwhelmed, consider bookmarking these six sessions on Saturday. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Sat., 9 a.m.-7:30 p.m., free.
If you’re a Marvel nut: Roxane Gay 4:10-4:40 p.m.
When Gay appeared at last year’s festival to promote her memoir “Hunger,” the line snaked through a holding room, with hundreds of people hoping to make the cut to see her. Expect the same this year. “Roxane is fantastic,” Arana says, noting that Gay is “back in a completely different identity.” She’ll be discussing “Black Panther: World of Wakanda,” a short-lived comic-book spinoff series tied to Marvel’s “Black Panther” comics. Gay collaborated with Ta-Nehisi Coates and Yona Harvey on the six issues of the 2016-17 project, which recently won an Eisner Award for best limited series. “She’s so candid, and she just tells it like it is,” Arana says. “I think people swarm to see her because they’re always going to be surprised by what Roxane says.”
If you follow Reese Witherspoon’s book club: Celeste Ng 6:45-7:30 p.m.
Ng’s “Little Fires Everywhere” has spread like, well, wildfire. The novel, her follow-up to “Everything I Never Told You,” was named one of the best books of 2017 by more than 25 publications, and Witherspoon and Kerry Washington are turning it into a limited series for Hulu. “It was obvious to have Celeste,” Arana says. “It’s an absolutely beautiful book. It’s very humane and I think that’s the reason it’s connected with a lot of people. This has been a great step forward for her, and the public has responded.”
If you’re gripped by the border crisis: Francisco Cantu 5:45-6:35 p.m.
Cantu spent four years, from 2008 to 2012, as an agent for the U.S. Border Patrol in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. In “The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches From the Border,” published in February, he recounts the violence he saw on both sides — and why he had to abandon the patrol. “He has written a really extraordinary book,” Arana says. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen the border so intimately told from the [perspective] of the American side, or as deeply and proudly beautiful. Cantu describes the gradual awareness of his human conscience, as someone who himself is of Mexican origin, and being in this very tough business and realizing he had to leave it.”
THURSDAY | 08.30.2018 | EXPRESS | 25
weekendpass If you like your authors to be very just: Sonia Sotomayor 11:25 a.m.-12:25 p.m.
The U.S. Supreme Court justice is appearing at the festival just days before the release of her new children’s books, “Turning Pages: My Life Story” and “The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor” (an adaptation of her 2013 memoir “My Beloved World” that’s geared for middle schoolers). But more advanced readers will likely enjoy hearing her speak, too. “Word is the justice is a free spirit,” Arana says, noting that Sotomayor and Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden have previously met. “So we know from the very mouth of the librarian herself that the justice is likely to be surprising and unanticipated and fun. I think she has a very happy, childish spirit, and if we get a room full of children in the main stage, that’s probably going to bring that out in her.”
If you’re interested in race and politics: James McBride 3:00-3:45 p.m.
How’s this for a festival-worthy pedigree: McBride’s debut novel, 2002’s “Miracle at St. Anna,” was turned into a movie directed by Spike Lee, and his memoir “The Color of Water” is required reading in many high schools and universities. In it, he describes growing up as one of 12 black kids raised by a white, Jewish mother. The writer-musician’s latest offering, 2017’s “FiveCarat Soul,” is an eclectic collection of short stories. One explores the fatal shooting of an unarmed teen; another follows the life of a toy train set that once belonged to an escaped slave. “We’re really lucky to have him,” Arana says of McBride. “He’s coming with these short, sharp, very observational stories, and since he’s deep into working on a new book, he’s only doing one or two appearances this year.”
If you want to feel better about your youth: Tara Westover Noon-12:45 p.m.
The first time Westover set foot in a classroom, she was 17. Now, she has a Ph.D. from Cambridge and is the author of the best-selling memoir “Educated,” a riveting retelling of growing up in a survivalist family in rural Idaho. “It’s a new look at an American experience we haven’t seen very often,” Arana says. “It’s a religious universe that is very much unto itself. What fascinates us about stories like this is that it’s like someone being born into a world that we know, but they don’t. They’re learning about this outside world that they’ve been forbidden to go into, and Tara’s book really hits a nerve.”

Faction of Fools performed “The Cherry Orchard” in the commedia dell’arte style this past spring.
On the way to the show THEATER COMPANIES LIFT THE CURTAIN ON UPCOMING PLAYS AT PAGE-TO-STAGE
For 17 years, the Kennedy Center’s Page-to-Stage festival has brought the area nothing but drama … and comedies and musicals. The three-day celebration showcases new productions from more than 60 local companies: Some are almost fully formed, ready for the curtain to rise; others are just taking their first steps onto the stage; and a few are just beginning to find their words. The public has access to it all, as well as interactive workshops, Q&As and “script karaoke,” where groups can put their own spin on words from new works. Here, three of the area’s smaller theater companies discuss the shows they’ll be bringing to the festival — and what they’ve got in store for their fall seasons. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Sat.-Mon., various times, free.
Faction of Fools Millennium Stage South, Sat., 2:30 p.m.
What they do: Faction of Fools, based out of the Eastman Studio Theatre at Gallaudet University, specializes in commedia dell’arte, an Italian form of comedy. But it’s not all belly laughs — the company has presented commedia dell’arte productions of dramatic works like “Romeo and Juliet” and Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard.” In adding the dell’arte style — which often includes masked actors and broad physical comedy — even tragedies become darkly funny. “We’re looking for what these plays teach us about commedia dell’arte, and reflectively what commedia dell’arte teaches us about these plays,” artistic director Paul Reisman says. What you’ll see at Page-toStage: A workshop of “The Great Commedia Hotel Murder Mystery,” which Reisman is still writing. The 1940s-set comedy is “equal parts
Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes and ‘Clue’ and all of our favorite whodunits all rolled into one,” Reisman says. Some of the scenes will be built before the audience’s eyes: “We’ll work a scene several ways to give the audience an opportunity of seeing not only the specific material, but our process as a company,” Reisman says. You won’t get the full story, though: Reisman says there will be “live redacting” of important plot points. “We want to make sure there are still plenty of twists and turns for folks come 2019,” when it premieres. What’s up next: Before “The Great Commedia Hotel Murder Mystery” debuts next spring, Faction of Fools will mount Shakespeare’s “Henry V” in October and a workshop of “Bravo, Zan Angelo!,” based on the children’s book by Niki Daly, in January.
THURSDAY | 08.30.2018 | EXPRESS | 27
weekendpass The Welders Rehearsal Room 1, Mon., 5 p.m., recommended for ages 13 and up
TERESA CASTRACANE
What they do: “We are an artist-based company that cycles through a group of people, then passes the company onto a new group,” says Hannah Hessel Ratner, the company’s lead producing playwright and author of “In This Hope: A Pericles Project,” one of three works from The Welders that will appear at Page-to-Stage. The company, which stages shows in various venues like the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre and Atlas Performing Arts Center, is on its second group of playwrights; in 2020 a new group of six will take charge.
The Welders’ comedy “Switch,” performed in the spring, took a body-swap story and threw in a gender-fluid friend.
What you’ll see at Page-to-Stage: Pieces of the final three plays of the company’s theatrical season, including a workshop for one part of “In This Hope” (the play will be produced in full in November). “First, we have [audience members] write a memory of someone they love,” Hessel Ratner says. “Then
we’re going to invite them to come up to a large map and place a dot on whatever place they associate with that person.” The activity ties in to themes in Hessel Ratner’s take on Shakespeare’s “Pericles, Prince of Tyre,” in which the title character travels to a bunch of places and then reunites with his family. Bashful attendees need not worry: “We’re not going to make anyone stand up in front of anybody and tell their story,” Hessel Ratner says. What’s up next: After “In This Hope,” The Welders will produce the last two plays of their Shakespeare-focused season: next spring’s “LadyM” by Rachel Hynes, in which the three witches from “Macbeth” cast a spell intended to help them understand elements of womanhood; and Annalisa Dias’ “The Earth, That Is Sufficient,” an exploration of the history of the world as told by Lucy the Australopithecus, in the fall of 2019.
Best Medicine Rep Chinese Lounge, Mon., 4 p.m., recommended for adults only
What you’ll see at Page-toStage: A limited production of Morogiello’s comedy “Die, Mr. Darcy, Die!,” about a woman obsessed with the heartthrob of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” especially the wet-shirted version made famous by Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC miniseries. “She realizes that no man she’s been dating can ever possibly live up to him, so she decides to give up on men,” Morogiello says. Nine actors play 50 different roles (and, yes, someone has to stand in for Firth), but with limited space and no wings in the Kennedy Center’s Chinese Lounge, “people won’t be moving around,” Morogiello
says. “When they’re [supposed to be] onstage, they’ll stand; when they’re offstage, they’ll sit.” Stage directions will also be read out loud so the audience gets a better idea of what’s going on. What’s up next: “Mr. Darcy” isn’t expected to take the Best Medicine stage until at least the company’s 2019-20 season. The next season starts in September with Morogiello’s “Engaging Shaw,” about the courtship between George Bernard Shaw and Charlotte Payne-Townshend, then continues in November with the company’s first musical, “The Crater Sisters’ Christmas Special.” Rounding out the current season: the Voltaire-related screwball comedy “Philosophus” in January; and, in April, “Play Date,” about one fateful afternoon when kids get together to play Legos and the adults “are hanging out in the kitchen, getting drunk and having affairs,” Morogiello says.
KANEA MACDONALD
What they do: Best Medicine — as in “laughter is the …” — is dedicated to performing new comedies in its intimate, 45-seat theater at Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg, Md. “We are micro,” artistic director John Morogiello says. “We are a craft brewer for comedies.”
In March, Best Medicine Rep went back to school with its satire “The Texas Homecoming Revolution of 1995.”

The queens of brunch Every Weekend, drag queens reign supreme in D.C., hosting brunches across the city where you can belt out Beyonce — with a Queen Bey impersonator — while forking a pile of pancakes. During the glitter-adorned affairs, which are growing in popularity thanks to TV shows like “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the queens channel celebrities with spot-on lip-syncing and sky-high heels while patrons howl, clap and eat their hangovers away. “As long as we put a smile on people’s faces, we have done our jobs as entertainers,” says Jerry VanHook, aka Shi-Queeta-Lee, who has been performing drag in D.C. for more than 20 years. Want to taste a drag brunch? Here are four options.
From left, Delila B Lee, Naveah Carter, Riley Knoxx, Shi-Queeta-Lee, Capri Bloomingdale, Marcus B. Lee and Pontianna Ivan regularly perform at Shi-QueetaLee’s (bottom center) drag brunch at Chateau Remix.
Whitney GucciGoo is the standout performer at the long-running drag brunch at Perry’s Restaurant.
Sunday drag brunch at Perry’s Restaurant 1811 Columbia Road NW; Sundays, 10 a.m.-noon & 1-3 p.m., $25.95 (must reserve via email or phone).
This sunny, second-story Adams Morgan spot takes credit for hosting the city’s longest-running drag brunch, a fixture since 1991. During a recent visit, the well-maintained buffet included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, mac and cheese, Belgian waffles and fried chicken nuggets. Four queens flitted and flirted throughout the dining room, channeling Top 40 divas along with some unusual characters, like Queen Padme Amidala from “Star Wars.” Whitney GucciGoo was a standout, split-jumping in the air like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader without batting a single false eyelash.

Drag brunch at Nellie’s Sports Bar
Shi-Queeta-Lee performs to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” during a brunch at Chateau Remix last month.
900 U St. NW; Saturdays & Sundays, 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m. & 1-3:30 p.m., $45.21 (must buy online in advance).
Straight girls love Nellie’s, and brunch is no exception. Bachelorette parties and birthday crews flock to the gay pub armed with flashy sashes and matching T-shirts. Upon arrival, guests are shepherded to the roof and treated to their first mimosa or bloody mary. During a recent visit, host Chanel Devereaux instructed attendees to reprimand late arrivals with a saucy greeting, so don’t be tardy. Chanel and her revolving cast of sequined sisters made up for the buffet’s endless but unremarkable dishes by sparkling in an interactive show with raunchy humor and a captivated audience.

3439 Benning Road NE; Saturdays & Sundays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., $47.29 (must buy online in advance).
1250 Connecticut Ave. NW; Sun., then Saturdays starting Sept. 8, 11 a.m. free (reservations recommended).
One of the District’s best-known drag doyennes, ShiQueeta-Lee hosted Nellie’s Sports Bar’s drag brunch for years before launching her own cabaret program in February. Boasting the city’s largest cast of celebrity impersonators — seven queens and one king — the group has performed lip-sync tributes to pop and R&B artists such as Tina Turner, Cardi B, SZA and Erykah Badu. The troupe performs on an elevated stage, so everyone has a good view. During a recent visit, the two buffet stations — stocked with breakfast and lunch goodies — included make-your-own pasta bowls and hot waffles.
This weekly revue, which launched in June and moves from Sundays to Saturdays on Sept. 8, is arguably the biggest bargain on the D.C. drag scene: Admission is free, the food is a la carte, and unlimited mimosas and build-your-own bloody marys are only $15. The menu is eclectic, expansive and reasonably priced. On a recent visit, host Ba’Naka and her team of showgirls shimmied and shook to a slew of hits by pop stars including Beyonce, Britney Spears and Whitney Houston. The humor was mostly family-friendly, save for the occasional offhand comment. One bruncher even brought her baby.

All paths lead to the music of old
Andrea DeSanti and the rest of Larksong travel light. The sevenperson group — of which DeSanti is a founding member — doesn’t have microphones or amplifiers or even instruments. All that’s needed are voices. The a cappella group will sing four or five times each day during its 20th year at Ren Fest, both onstage and on the pathways that wind through Revel Grove. “The pathways are great [because] you can be up close and personal,” DeSanti says. But “there’s always the challenge not only of the audience hearing, but you hearing yourself.” The group copes by relying on its louder, more upbeat songs while on the paths, but “if we’re in a quiet nook, we’ll do some of our slower pieces.” With a repertoire of around 300 songs, they have plenty to choose from. The group, which will perform on Monday as well as the weekends of Sept. 22 and Oct. 20, specializes in madrigals, which can be a tricky interweaving of melody and harmony, point and counterpoint. “It’s complicated to listen to,” DeSanti says. “A lot of times we’re not all singing the same words or the same melody; you have to pay attention. If you’ve had seven beers, it might not interest you as much.” Even those who are interested

can ask some interesting questions. “We had somebody once come up and say, ‘Gee, how can you sing all of this without music?’ ” she says. “We do have music. We just don’t play instruments.”

The recorder is more than the bane of parents with elementary school children. “It’s not just a toy,” says HelenJean Talbott, director of the five-member Consort Anon, which will perform at Ren Fest on the weekends of Sept. 15 and 22. “This is a musical instrument for which there is a tremendous amount of repertoire written.” Part of that repertoire comes from King Henry VIII, the featured monarch of the festival and a talented composer. “We especially try to include some of the music that he wrote,” Talbott says. Consort Anon features recorders of various sizes (the smallest, the sopranino, is a bit smaller than the one you tortured your parents with), percussion instruments like tambourines and finger cymbals, and a stringed instrument called a hurdy-gurdy. Like most of Ren Fest’s musical groups, Consort Anon plays both onstage and among the people. While Talbott says performing onstage is nice because festivalgoers tend to be more attentive, “the interaction between us and the people attending is even greater when we’re on the pathways” on the festival grounds, she says. “We figure we are providing the atmosphere for their enjoyment.”

There is almost always music in the air at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. More than 30 groups provide a variety of period music — from sacred hymns to bawdy drinking songs — throughout the entirety of the event. While the tunes may be simply background music to some attendees, to the musicians playing it’s a true passion. Here, three groups talk about why they do what they do and why you should take some time to stop and hear the music. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
Piper Jones Band
of Piper Jones Band, he’s got plenty of eyes on him. The group — which also features bouzouki player Frances Cunningham and rotating percussionists — will play five shows every day of the Renaissance Festival: three at the Lyric Stage, one at the White Hart Tavern and one at the Boar’s Head Tavern. When performing at the taverns, “we try to play our fastest, most danceable stuff,” Jones says. “We’re really all about people being moved to move their bodies. It doesn’t count if you tell them to clap along. I think that’s
cheating.” The clapping and stomping and impromptu post-beers jigging are important parts of Ren Fest, Jones says, but he gets something more out of the band’s performances. “What we want is a place to do our thing as beautifully as we can,” he says. “At Maryland Ren Fest, we can do that.” 1821 Crownsville Road, Annapolis; Sat.-Mon., then weekends through Oct. 21, 10 a.m.-7 p.m., $19-$26 ($8-$11 for kids 7-15, $40-$150 for passes).

Marvel Studios 10th Anniversary Film Festival Celebrate a decade of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies by seeing all of them — in Imax. This eight-day festival is hitting a number of local screens, including the Regal Majestic in Silver Spring, a bunch of AMCs and the UdvarHazy Center of the Air and Space Museum (times and prices vary; check websites for details). Thursday through Monday, you can see all 20 films in release order, with four screened per day, ending with July’s “Ant-Man and The Wasp.” If that’s too much for you, Tuesday’s program is four origin stories (including the one that started it all, 2008’s “Iron Man”), and Wednesday’s theme is “Team-Ups.” The festival ends Sept. 6 with “Iron Man” and “The Avengers,” the films that got the most votes in a recent online fan poll.
Stanley Kubrick: The Irony of Feeling
‘On the Town’
What’s the one thing film nerds love? Um, other than films. Talking about films! Author Robert Kolker is lecturing on the work of Stanley Kubrick, specifically on how to find the emotional resonance lurking beneath the surface of the director’s films. The talk will be accompanied by clips from Kubrick’s classics. Afterward, Kolker will sign copies of his book “The Extraordinary Image,” or you can swing by the table and ask him what the final scenes of “2001” mean. National Gallery of
You know that episode of “The Simpsons” where Bart and Milhouse sing “Springfield, Springfield!” Like many of the show’s best jokes, it’s an allusion to something else. In this case it’s “On the Town,” a classic 1949 screen musical starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Jules Munshin. (So you’ve heard of two of the three of them — that’s not bad.) They’re sailors with one day of shore leave, which they use to sing and dance all over New York. And this is before Uber, so it’s even more impressive. AFI Silver, 8633

Maren Morris: For her 2015 debut single, “My Church,” Maren Morris wrote a nostalgic ode to cruising the highway with the windows rolled down and the music cranked. The Grammy-winning song was born in the country music tradition with its bluesy drawl, but her 2016 debut album, “Hero,” dabbled in catchy Top-40 styles. Her biggest hit? That would be “The Middle,” a glossy electro-pop track made with producer Zedd. It explains why she’s opening Friday for One Direction’s Niall Horan at Jiffy Lube Live.

Artists working during this turbulent period in the continent’s history turned against beauty in order to express the meaning and vitality of their day-to-day existence, through April 28; “Maren Hassinger: The Spirit of Things”: An exhibition of works, videos and photographs by the New York-based artist, who uses wire rope, newspapers, plastic bags and other found materials for her art. Her videos address aspects of identity such as race and gender. Photographs of the artist’s performance art and site-specific interventions focus on L.A.-based projects that involved other artists, dancers and friends from the 1970s, prior to Hassinger living in New York and Baltimore.

Is it time for Louis C.K. to drop the mic? COMEDY Louis C.K.’s return to stand-up came and went, in the form of a 15-minute surprise set that only about a hundred people witnessed. The comic had been publicly silent since he admitted in November that five women’s allegations of sexual misconduct against him — including his masturbating in front of them — “are true.” “I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want,” C.K. said in response to a New York Times investigation. “I will now step back and take a long time to listen.” On Sunday, he performed an unscheduled set at the Comedy Cellar, a New York comedy institution. Cellar owner Noam Dworman says he only found out the next morning via text messages from his employees. But he did watch a tape of the set and says that when the host announced C.K., the audience broke out into “sustained applause,” with some folks “giving a little bit extra,” as if to show they “wanted to hear what he had to say.”
C.K. did new material but didn’t address his past misdeeds and subsequent apology. News of the set sparked a larger conversation about men who have quietly returned to their professions after stepping out of the limelight following sexual misconduct allegations or admissions. Comedy bookers and club owners are grappling with how to react. Are they the gatekeepers? What responsibility do they have? “I think too many people are interpreting it as a reflection of how we feel or don’t feel about what Louis was accused of, or admitted to doing. It’s not really about that,” Dworman says of his club allowing C.K. to drop in. “It’s more of an ACLU approach, which I’ve always had, which is to say that we’re a platform for comedy, that handing out punishments is something that institutions of courts of law do.” In recent weeks, Aziz Ansari has also been performing at abruptly announced shows around the country in sizable venues as part of his “Working Out New Material” tour. The comic had retreated after being accused anonymously in January of sexual impropriety. (He said that his encounter with the woman “by all indications was

Comedian Louis C.K. made a surprise return to stand-up Sunday with a set in New York, 10 months after he admitted to sexual misconduct.
completely consensual.”) For Marshall Chiles, owner of Atlanta’s Laughing Skull Lounge, the questions when it comes to comics like C.K. are: “Is he going to be encouraging that behavior, or is he discouraging that behavior, even with his transgressions? … [What] if he had this amazing 15-minute bit of the errors of his ways?” On Tuesday, many comics took to Twitter to post their disappointment with C.K.’s return. “The fact that Louis, a comedian whose whole thing is plumbing the depths of his own psyche,
apparently didn’t mention his most recent, famous news in his surprise set tells you all you need to know about his desire for ‘redemption,’ right?” tweeted comedian Paul F. Tompkins. It’s unclear whether C.K. will hit the stage again anytime soon. But he’s now broken his silence, almost 10 months after he decided to “take a long time to listen.” As New York comic Sarah L a z a r us w rote i n a v i ra l tweet, “I’m still on the same s h a mp o o b o t t le a s wh e n louis ck’s time out started.” ELAHE IZADI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“It’s a real problem we have in the culture in general. Many of the voices that should be heard, need to be heard.” GUILLERMO DEL TORO, president of the Venice Film Festival jury, speaking about equality at a news conference Wednesday. The filmmaker said he wants to see a 50-50 split of men and women in Hollywood leadership roles by 2020.
Variety: “Mr. Robot” to end with Season 4
Deadline: Dwayne Johnson cast as lead in Robert Zemeckis’ “The King”
BOOK REVIEW The publication of “The Fall of Gondolin,” at long last, represents the conclusion of a loose trilogy set in the Elder Days of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional realm of Middle-earth. As with the posthumously published “The Children of Hurin” and “Beren and Luthien,” this entry has been painstakingly and, clearly, lovingly edited by his son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien. This volume, which comes out today, collects several drafts from Tolkien’s vast archive. In short, the evil overlord Morgoth — called Melko here — seeks to dominate the entire world, but the hidden elvish city of Gondolin remains out of his grasp. Readers of “The Silmarillion” will recognize Morgoth. For the sake of context, Sauron — the villain in the “The Lord of the Rings” — is one of his henchmen. As the title indicates, things don’t go especially well for the inhabitants of Gondolin, which includes our heroic human warrior Tuor. There’s love and warfare, jealousy and treachery. Some familiar characters also might make cameo appearances. Last year, Amazon Studios purchased the rights to produce a new television series set in Middle-earth. So if “The Fall of Gondolin” does indeed represent the end of an age, it might also point to the start of another. ANDREW ERVIN (TWP)

DIFFICULT
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are taking a situation much more seriously than anyone else right now, but that’s the only way to make the best of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may have trouble fitting everything in today. Make decisions with care and discuss with others how they will be affected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Things may not be quite the same today when a certain someone fails to show up and be a part of the festivities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may be racing against the clock on more than one occasion today — but, fortunately, each will last only a short time. WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Someone close to you is in your crosshairs today, and you must avoid taking a shot before he or she is safely out of the way.
WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) What is it that tells you your judgment is more accurate — or simply “better” — than someone else’s? Let go of any such misconceptions. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may have more questions than answers today, but so it goes when you jump into a situation without preparing fully.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You aren’t going to be inspired by much of the work to be done today — but one assignment is likely to lift your spirits.
TODAY: Still plenty hot and humid, but a little less extreme, with highs in the low 90s and the heat index reaching near 100. Mostly sunny skies give way to increasing clouds in the mid- to late afternoon as a cold front approaches. Some scattered thunderstorms are possible from late afternoon into the evening.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you’re ready to ask for what you want, do so. Now is the time to strike, especially because you are in a good position. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will have to explore more freely the possibilities before you if you want to know just what you’re getting into. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may fall under someone else’s spell for a time today, but that doesn’t mean you have to change your life in any way as a result.

“I just didn’t think they were going to get rid of me, I guess.”
Pete Davidson casually proposed to Ariana Grande while the two were lying around in bed, the comedian told Variety. “I didn’t want to do something corny,” Davidson said. “We were in bed hanging, after watching a movie. I was like, ‘Will you marry me?’ It was really dope.” Three months after getting engaged, Davidson still finds himself in disbelief about his relationship with the pop star. “I’m still convinced she’s blind or hit her head really hard,” he said. “Something is going to happen, and she’s going to be like, ‘What the f--- is this thing doing around?’ For right now, it’s rocking.” (EXPRESS)
