that cat has real star quality
Nicole DiDonato, a field reporter for Grand Rapids FOX affiliate WXMI, was playfully mauled by a stray cat during a live report on the city's new designation as "Beer City USA."
The feline first jumped on DiDonato's shoulder during a live tease for the segment, and then returned to finish the job during the on-air report. "Think he drew blood!!" DiDonato exclaimed on Twitter. via

Roger Federer had lost six of seven matches to Novak Djokovic, most recently last month in a dispiriting, straight-set affair in the French Open semifinals.
But that was on red clay during a soggy second week in Paris when it was even tougher than usual to breach Djokovic’s formidable defenses.
Wimbledon was rainy, too, on Friday. But Centre Court now has a retractable roof and so Federer, with his suspect back and grand plans, was able to stay safe and dry on his favorite tennis court; able to shift the momentum of a great rivalry back his own way with a stirring and surprising 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 victory in the semifinals.
“Obviously I’m ecstatic; I’m so happy,” Federer said. “I played a great match today.”
...
At age 30, Federer, the smooth-moving and enduring Swiss champion, is now just one victory away from tying William Renshaw and Pete Sampras with a seventh Wimbledon singles title. He is also only one victory away from reclaiming the No. 1 ranking. (via)

Frank Ocean is gay
i mean, he followed anderson cooper's footsteps out of the closet.
see: "4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide. Most of the day I'd see him, and his smile. I'd hear his conversation and his silence ... until it was time to sleep. Sleep I would often share with him. By the time I realized I was in love, it was malignant. It was hopeless. There was no escaping, no negotiating with the feeling. No choice. It was my first love. It changed my life." cute.

that's what it's like
the times has an article about the problems at mccarren park pool.
But within days, that excitement has been replaced by apprehension. Two fights at the pool and a handful of arrests confirmed the fears of some residents that the giant pool, with a capacity of 1,500, might draw an unruly crowd to a neighborhood divided among older residents of Italian and Polish descent, gentrifying newcomers and Hispanic families.
Inside the pool on Friday, teenagers scuffled with a lifeguard who had ordered them to stop doing back flips and the pool closed an hour early. On Monday, two police officers were injured by swimmers who also persisted in doing backflips. Three men were arrested and charged with assault in the second degree, inciting to riot, criminal nuisance and menacing.
and the problems aren't just inside the pool.
Meredith Chesney, owner of Mousey Brown beauty salon near the pool, said she came out Saturday morning to discover three new tags on her roll-down security gate.
“I thought, ‘O.K., it’s Brooklyn, it’s not that surprising,’ ” she said. “But then, 30 minutes later, I went outside to water my plants and I found someone had defecated right in front of the salon. It’s shocking.”
hey brooklyn, stop shitting on the sidewalk.
that's a little sad
