News Round-Up: August 6, 2018


Some news items you might have missed:

• InstaHunk Naor Yazdan starts his week with a serious shoulder workout pump. #yassss

• Instagram came off a tad homophobic for deleting the account for the "Greeks Come True" 2018 calendar. While the calendar itself shows the men in revealing perspective, the Instagram account only shared tasteful photos. Check out some of the photos on the still-active Facebook page.

• This moment between Atlanta Braves players Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. caught on camera sharing an affectionate embrace inside the team’s dugout sparked some seriously homophobic social media posts.



Axios reports that Donald Trump loves to review and relive his performances at rallies and 2016 presidential debates. He apparently considers his quips to Hillary Clinton to be some of the greatest moments "that ever happened in the history of presidential debates."

•Jerusalem Pride saw record turnout this year (over 30,000) just three years after a violent stabbing incident.

• “Get Together,” a new single by Sir Ivan, is a remix of the classic 1967 Youngbloods song. As Sir Ivan says, “As in the 1960’s, we are undergoing a time of deep divisions in our country. There’s never been a better time to get together.” All net proceeds of “Get Together” will go toward The Peaceman Foundation, which supports LGBT rights. I've always liked the tune - check it out below, and find it on iTunes.
