My favourite old-site #TalesFromBlackFriday was the one about coming to the mall and finding it was abandoned, looked like it had been for months, and the snow had gotten in. But there were still deals being advertised.

Surreal Photos Of Abandoned, Snow-Filled Malls Show The Death Of An Era In America

The last season of Stranger Things begins, apart from the flashback cartoon spinoff and whatever else they try to add, and so the last chance (apart from whatever spinoffs etc.) to correct a glaring historical inaccuracy and admit that 1980s kids should be playing ADVANCED Dungeons & Dragons.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Wake Up Dead Man is by far the most serious of the Benoit Blanc mysteries, with just a few expert gags here and there around questions of faith and the positive and negative effects of religion. This swings away from the broader sillier Glass Onion and past Knives Out in tone.
