If you’re like us and craving a distraction from the craziness of the past week, it’s time to cool down on Comey and power up with Perry (Katy). We’ve got summer’s first must-have album for you to listen to, plus your 2017 Pride Guide, and a friendly suggestion on what Tom Cruise movies to — and not to — watch. Also: Father’s Day is next weekend. So you know, make sure you get that gift to dad in time. We’ve got a couple ideas.
