President Donald Trump on Monday marked the one-year anniversary of the deadly mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, vowing in a tweet that America will “Never Forget” the 49 victims who lost their lives in the tragedy.
But for many of his critics, his sentiments came a year too late.
On the day of the shooting on June 12, 2016, before most of the victims were even identified, Trump, then a candidate, sent out a tweet congratulating himself on “being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”
“Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism,” he wrote at the time.

An Ohio family hosted Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for dinner — just 20 minutes after learning who their “mystery guest” would be.
The Vindicator of Youngstown reports Zuckerberg dined with the Moore family on Friday in Newton Falls, about 55 miles southeast of Cleveland after asking his staff to find Democrats who voted for President Donald Trump in the November election.
Zuckerberg’s staff found Daniel Moore, who previously voted for President Barack Obama twice before supporting Trump in November’s election, and quoted in an article on the election on Cleveland.com.

Adventure Time: Masked Mayhem
Written by Kate Leth
Illustrated by Bridget Underwood with Drew Green & Vaughn Pinpin
Inks by Jenna Ayoub
Colors by Lisa Moore
Letters by Aubrey Aiese
Published by Boom! Studios
Past all of the strange universe building and drama of Adventure Time, the franchise has always been about one central thing: friends having awesome adventures with friends. The comics have done a good job of keeping this theme up as well, especially in the original graphic novels that come out a few times a year.
The latest one, Masked Mayhem, is the third one written by Kate Leth. Where her previous outings in Ooo focused on Marceline and Bubblegum respectively, this one follows Bmo. Spoiler alert: it’s adorable.
Masked Mayhem follows Bmo and Jake (who was also the sidekick in Leth’s first Ogn Seeing Red) as they travel around Ooo on Masquerade Day, a holiday not unlike modern Halloween.

Bravest Warriors #36

Published by Boom! Studios
The power of friendship and redemption is victorious in Bravest Warriors #36, which is the final issue of Kate Leth and Ian McGinty’s excellent run on the series. In their sixteen issues on the title, they went beyond the cartoon’s mythos showing Catbug’s evil brother and father, giving Plum a lovely girlfriend named Peach, and homaging everything from Pacific Rim and Agatha Christie to The Great Gatsby and Lord of the Rings in a clever, silly manner. This final issue is a little low on suspense, but Leth and McGinty more than makes up for it by giving each Bravest Warrior a crowning moment of brilliance or funny, which play out in a character and plot twist.

Back from a summer camp, which ended up featuring an interdimensional eldritch being and Catbug’s evil brother, the Bravest Warriors are ready for some well-earned R and R. However, when they get back to their hideout, they are greeted by a sweet and disgusting sight. Plum reunites with her girlfriend Peach, but Danny’s beloved “toast goblin” Jelly Kid is dead. In Bravest Warriors #33, Kate Leth scripts an interactive closed room mystery story finding out which Warrior, ally, or random intruder killed Jelly Kid. There are three answers at the end of the comic (drawn by Adam Del Re, Kat Leyh, and Leth’s Fraggle Rock collaborator), but most of the fun is figuring out the “killer” yourself.

Leth and McGinty give Catbug some time on his own and show what he gets up to when he’s not being adorable around the Bravest Warriors. Leth delves into Catbug’s emotional life and reveals that he does have the true makings of a hero even if he killed Jelly Kid and completely failed at leadership in “Catbug’s Away Team”. Ian McGinty has a deft touch with facial expressions and reaction panels in the opening scene which features an ersatz version of Cards Against Humanity,...

The second edition of the N1FR, n+1's film review, "is very late," begins editor As Hamrah, but there's no need to apologize. The timing is perfect, arriving just many of us will be desperate for distraction from what promises to be a very noisy weekend. As Hamrah notes, there's not one piece in the entire issue on "even one film nominated for an Oscar this year."
Instead, we have Chris Fujiwara setting Vincent Gallo and George Clooney next to each other and riffing on the juxtaposition, Christine Smallwood on Apichatpong Weerasethakul and on Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Jeanette Samyn and Jonathan Kyle Sturgeon on Pedro Costa, Dmitry Martov on Serge Bozon and his circle, Emily Gould on Badmaash Company, a Bollywood movie that screams out to be compared and contrasted with The Social Network, Jennifer Krasinski on the rise of the polymath, Ben Maraniss on Mel Gibson,...

Bang on a Can All-Stars: Music for Airports (Live) (Cantaloupe)
In the Spring of 1998, when this was recorded in concert, the Bang on a Can All-Stars consisted of cellist Maya Beiser, clarinetist Evan Ziporyn (who doubles on keyboard and samplers on "1/1"), guitarist Mark Stewart, percussionist Steven Schick, pianist/keyboardist Lisa Moore, and bassist Robert Black. The previous year, the same group -- plus guests -- had made a studio recording of this music for Point, a Philip Glass label distributed by PolyGram. That album is still in print, so the question is whether this new release is different enough to justify its existence.

This is the third year for this particular Best American series, and it sees the cast of editors completely change over.
