I Can’t Decide If Samantha Bee’s Grinch Mitch McConnell Is Better or Worse Than the Real One

It took a massive effort to flip Georgia blue for the presidential election, and as the plea at the end of Bee's story makes clear, any help anyone can provide this time around is both useful and critical.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Delivers Magnetic Performances From Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is a fantastic movie in terms of acting, and the messages that are infused within it are powerful. If you have never gotten to see the play and love theater, this is no doubt an excellent version to watch. I can see it being exhausting for some because it is very heavy, but that heaviness is powerful and sobering.

I Jinxed Myself When I Said I Was Done Talking About Cyberpunk 2077 Because It’s Being Pulled From the PlayStation Store

Now I don't claim to have the best recollection of the history of game launches, but this isn't something that happens very often, especially to a AAA title.

Instead, it's just a Lifetime movie with the occasional mention of chicken and secret recipes.

More than 40 years after Stephen King published The Stand, the story of a world decimated by plague and split into a war of literal good vs. evil is back on television and is, depressingly, more timely than ever.
