The Democratic National Zoom Call Convention is here and gone. Hey, Bernie, you’re on mute, you’ve got to take yourself off mute. On the upside, it made the 90 minute speeches last only 90 seconds.

Will Trump supporters now go slash their tires like they smashed their Keurigs? Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman drops an anti-gay slur on a broadcast and we watch his career go down in flames before our very eyes. Cubs broadcaster Mark Grace is bounced for calling his wife a dingbat, prompting at least one dingbat “journalism” think piece. And finally, Burger King in Belgium has created facemasks with your order on them so you don’t have to open to mouth to let people know you made the mistake of eating at Burger King.
