Happy Ted Lasso Day AND Olympics Opening Ceremony Day! (Ugh, I love the Olympics and I'm concerned this one is going to be a shitshow because of the pandemic.)

\-- I rounded you up some [RANDOM TREATS!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-cute-things-we-like-but-might-not-technically-need-07-2021/)

\-- On that topic: [100+ Years of Olympic Opening Ceremony Highlights](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/sporting/news/g2654/olympic-opening-ceremony-highlights/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[T&C\]

\-- This is extremely well done by the LA Times: [One of America’s hottest cities is down to one water well. What happens if the taps go dry?](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-20/needles-california-fights-drought-along-colorado-river??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Wired's History of Black Twitter is such a good read. [Part II just came out.](https://www.wired.com/story/black-twitter-oral-history-part-ii-rising-up/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Part I is[ here.](https://www.wired.com/story/black-twitter-oral-history-part-i-coming-together/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io))

\-- This is a beautiful tear-jerker of an essay from Jack Thomas at the Boston Globe:[ I just learned I only have months to live. This is what I want to say.](https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/07/21/magazine/i-just-learned-i-only-have-months-live-this-is-what-i-want-say/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- This is a thoughtful piece about *The Last Duel* and [also Matt Damon's hair in the trailer is very distracting](https://pubx.co/Sxhgme?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[Lainey\]

\-- Really funny: [Hemingway Writes The Baby-sitters Club](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/hemingway-writes-the-baby-sitters-club??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[McSweeney's\]

\-- I LOVED reading this conversation at Metafilter:[ USA Bars with very eccentric orders and/or menu](https://ask.metafilter.com/356137/USA-Bars-with-very-eccentric-order-and-or-menu??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

I later read a quote where Lorde said that the day after this, she had to have someone come to her hotel and "administer an IV to her corpse" and I could just FEEL the hangover in that. \[Pajiba\]

\-- GQ calls this ["the inside story of the most famous billboard on earth."](https://www.gq.com/story/calvin-klein-billboard-history??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- PHEW. [Lainey reports that the second season of *Ted Lasso* is good. ](https://pubx.co/28HliW?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I really need this right now!!

\-- I didn't expect any of these words in this order: [Angelina Jolie presented diplomas in a beekeeper’s kit to Bee School graduates](https://www.celebitchy.com/724894/angelina%5Fjolie%5Fpresented%5Fdiplomas%5Fin%5Fa%5Fbeekeepers%5Fkit%5Fto%5Fbee%5Fschool%5Fgraduates/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
