is it ever not Prime Day? i could swear we're barraged with Best Prime Day Deals stories like 300 days out of the year

i assume it's part of the Dunkin onboarding process that every new hire has to get ordained, just on the off chance that Bennifer impulsively stops by wanting to get married.

(it's me, i'm people. i hope these two get married 8 more times)

Exes Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck looking very adoringly at each other on the Kiss of the Spider Woman red carpet.

the Arrested Development meme of Tobias and Lindsey discussing an open marriage, only it says: "Did it work for us last time?" "No, it never does. People somehow delude themselves into thinking it might … But it might work for us this time."

i would say this review is late to the party, but it's less a party and more a collective decision to wince and make very little eye contact

For those outside of Chicago, these signs are pretty common

Four signs hanging up in a restaurant - The top left says “EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE * EXPECT ICE * in English. The bottom left is the same message in Spanish. A know your rights card is on the right in both English and Spanish. The food is delicious.

It's rare to see a show with this much utter contempt for its target audience.

My review of the thematically ambitious, but generally awful "Monster: The Ed Gein Story":

‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ Review: Charlie Hunnam Dons Frilly Undergarments and Flesh Masks for Netflix’s Trashy Takedown of True Crime and Those Who Love It

Focusing on the notorious figure who inspired 'Psycho,' 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and more, the latest installment in the anthology series also features Laurie Metcalf, Vicky Krieps and Tom Hollan...

Charlie Hunnam's performance as Ed Gein in "Gein — Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is very, very, very, very, very, very, very similar to Glen Powell's performance-within-a-performance as Chad Powers.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

When Adoption Promises Are Broken

Many birth mothers hope to maintain contact with their child. But their agreements with adoptive parents can be fragile.

I always really enjoy reviewing Taylor Swift's work and try to give it a measured read. I think Swift is a serious artist deserving a serious response! So here's my Showgirl review www.npr.org/2025/10/03/n...

On 'The Life of a Showgirl,' Taylor Swift feels love's glow and the spotlight's glare

On her 12th album, the most dominant pop star of our era makes a spectacle of herself in full flower, in love and holding the music industry in the palm of her hand.

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America.

On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that.

Way before #AlienEarth even premiered, I landed a dream assignment: talking with Timothy Olyphant about everything from lessons learned on #Deadwood with David Milch to the TV storytelling pitfall he hates the most to breaking down tonight's finale (spoilers are toward the end):

Timothy Olyphant Isn't Interested in Repeating Himself

From Deadwood to Alien: Earth, Timothy Olyphant opens up about acting risks, career reinvention, and the storytellers who still guide him.
