So a guy showed up for his teeth cleaning appointment at Walter J. Palmer's dental office in Bloomington on Tuesday. At that point, he may have been the only person on the planet who was unaware of the global rage being directed at his dentist, who had admitted to killing Zimbabwe's most beloved lion.

+ A lion got killed. But as Vox explains, "that's not enough to explain the surge of outrage. Big-game hunting is by definition stalking, killing, and skinning beautiful animals like lions, and it happens all the time. This case was clearly different."

+ And from social media to mainstream outlets to Yelp reviews, the outrage is everywhere. This is how we dole out justice on the internet. You know the routine. Character destroyed. Site hacked. Business maligned. But is this internet justice just? WaPo's Alyssa Rosenberg: "When we all rush in to try to take the place of a system that's failed, we're all acting according to our individual senses of what's fair and right, and we produce results that seem just as arbitrary."

The recession is over. The economy has improved. The job market is better. So it might come as a shock to many American parents that their kids are still living in the basement. From Pew: More Millennials are living with family despite the improved job market. (Young people today are so unprepared for life. I didn't move back in with my parents until my 40s.)

According to Afghan officials, reports of Mullah Omar's death were not greatly exaggerated. And the White House has confirmed that there's credible evidence that the Taliban leader died in a hospital in Karachi back in 2013.

+ Hackers can change the target and trajectory of bullets fired by computer-controlled, self-aiming sniper rifles. In other news, there are computer-controlled, self-aiming sniper rifles.

You're reading this, so to you, the idea of never using the Internet probably sounds pretty foreign. But there are still about 47 million Americans who don't have an internet connection. They tend to live in rural areas, be members of certain ethnic groups, or have read The Circle multiple times.

"I think it's a very small group of élite members of the cartel that are doing this. This is highly sophisticated work. A lot of people think that you have a shovel and you dig. That's not the way it works." The New Yorker's Monte Reel on the underworld:

"The fact is that neither I, nor any equipment person, did anything of which we have been accused." Tom Brady used his Facebook page to indicate he would continue the Deflatage fight against the NFL after his four game suspension was upheld.

+ Five takeaways from the NFL's report on Tom Brady. (It's interesting there would be so many takeaways when the balls were deflated, in part, to reduce the number of fumbles.)

+ Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy: Deal with it -- Tom Brady and the Patriots are cheaters. (Deal with it. This story will never end.)

+ There's nothing that anyone could write or say that could satisfy me when it comes to the mystery of why baseball managers wear uniforms. (I also don't get why sober adults want to take selfies with mascots.)

Saudi King Salman's Riviera holiday has been raising the ire of many locals. The Telegraph reports on the latest twist: "The controversy over the Riviera beach closed off to the public for the Saudi king's holiday took another twist when it emerged that he asked French police not to post any women officers there while royal menfolk take a dip in the sea." (There really are dramatic cultural differences when it comes to coping with dad bod.)

"Logan signed the lease on an apartment in a luxury complex on Vine Street, a building that now houses six of the top 15 Vine stars in the world." Tech Insider's Caroline Moss takes you on a trippy trip into the future of Hollywood (and the last place on Earth you'd want rent a room).

+ New Republic: This teenage duo could be the future of music -- for better and worse.

He's leading the race. But he's not really in the lead. Nate Silver explains why Donald Trump is the Nickelback of candidates (and in the process, confirms that yes, there are Nickelback jokes that can go too far).
