Things you might want to know, for May 12, 2023:
- ‘Madonna x Meisel – The SEX Photographs’ Auction Coming to Christie’s — I bought an aluminum-bound, foil-wrapped copy of the book in 1992 for $100. That… was not one of my best investments.
- Supernatural Prequel The Winchesters Is Canceled at The CW — I didn’t even know a Supernatural spin-off existed, and now it’s gone. Has a prequel to Dark Angel been running on the CW all this time and I just didn’t notice?
- Jacklyn Zeman, Veteran General Hospital Star, Dead at 70 — Holy hell, Bobbie Spencer has left the building. I spent every summer of the early-to-mid-1980s watching General Hospital, so this one packs a punch.
- The Return of Nineties Style: This New ‘Seinfeld’-Inspired Collection Is As Iconic As the Hit Sitcom — I… I kind of want some of this shit. I’m not proud of it, but I do.
- Diving into the anti-sunscreen movement — …or just sit back and play Count The Melanomas as the years roll by.
- Natalie Mordovtseva Threatens to Remarry Mike: We Only Broke Up Because of 90 Day Fiance! — Bitch, the show had very little to do with it… you broke up because you’re a crazy-eyed loon who for some reason feels compelled to argue incessantly with Mike’s thumb-like mother-lump.
- What is American Exceptionalism, anyway?
- Doug Rushkoff Is Ready to Renounce the Digital Revolution
- Etsy launches its own wedding registry service — I’m a little surprised this didn’t already exist.
- Microsoft will take nearly a year to finish patching new 0-day Secure Boot bug — Yeah, this is… wow. Super ugly. Yeesh.
- Beetlejuice 2, with Jenna Ortega and Michael Keaton, confirmed for 2024 — So first Batman’s back, now Beetlejuice. What’s next? Johnny Dangerously 2: Johnny Dangerouser? Is Joe Piscopo still alive?
- Why Are These Techies So Afraid of the Word ‘Sex’? — Because their friends are all bankers and girls are scary.
- Brad Garrett Talks All About Having Sex With Pete Davidson
- Robert De Niro welcomes seventh child at 79 — I aspire to Bobby’s level of don’t-give-a-fuckery.
- Hulu content to be added to Disney+ for ‘one-app experience,’ CEO Bob Iger says
- Gen Z says 3-hour ‘everything showers’ are ‘better than sex’ — Can I interest you gullible little fucks in twenty minute naps every two hours? A bladder system for oil tankers? Reverse peepholes? A pizza place where you bake your own pie?
- How to Reclaim Your Online Privacy
- Good Omens season 2 hits Prime Video in July — I love the book, Tennant, and Sheen, but I’ve never made it past the first ep of season 1… as good as The Sandman turned out to be, I find Good Omens to be far closer to American Gods’ level of quality. And to be clear, that’s not a compliment. (Sorry, Neil.)
- Twitter’s Encrypted DMs Are Deeply Inferior to Signal and WhatsApp
- Canon’s PowerShot V10 is a vlogging-centric callback to old Flip Video cams — I’m linking this solely because I forgot the Flip Video cameras existed, despite owning one myself.
