    Green Day was playing the Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel, Germany, on Sunday when lead singer Billie Joe Armstong had had enough from an unruly fan. A TikTok shows Armstrong doing a call and response with the crowd when he raises his middle finger at someone in the audience. Then he drops the mic, takes off his guitar and directs some heated words at the fan. What he says isn’t captured on the audio, but it’s not too difficult to read his lips.

    Oregon is awash with state symbols. From the state seashell (Oregon hairy triton) to the state microbe (Brewer’s yeast), the state has almost every possible thing that could represent it as a place and a people covered.

    Dear Lizzy,My family has had a long-planned, non-refundable and much-anticipated vacation to the mountains scheduled for next week, but now I am being asked to go on a last-minute work trip. I would say no to the work trip, but it is related to a project that I am managing, and I need to go. It’s the sort of thing that, if I don’t go, I won’t be doing my job, and I might get fired.
