Things you might want to know, for May 17, 2023:

• Liz Phair to Play ‘Exile in Guyville’ in Its Entirety on New Tour — “And when I asked for a separate room/It was late at night and we’d been driving since noon/But if I’d known how that would sound to you/I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life/Just to prove I was right”
• Why is everyone so into rough sex right now? — Because they always were. They’re just talking about it now.
• Pest banned from talking about sex to women across England and Wales

• Echo Season 1 Will Drop All at Once in November — Ah, how handy, I can say it after all… and no one will care.

• Did We Upset You Abel? The Weeknd Responds to Rolling Stone’s Expose on ‘The Idol’ — Dear Rolling Stone: if you think he’s actually upset by your coverage, you clearly don’t grasp just how appealing you’re making this show sound. You’ve turned it into a “can’t miss” for me.
• iPhones will be able to speak in your voice with 15 minutes of training
• ‘Just Do What I Say’: 10 Women Claim Comedian Chris D’Elia Preyed on Them — Targeting vanilla girls and just hoping they’ll play along is the surest sign that you’re made the transition from Mean Man to Misogynist Dickbag.
• We can ID people from DNA that shows up in environmental studies — Surveillance Culture is bigger than omnipresent security cameras and drones.
• PSA: time to recycle your old Wemo smart plugs (if you haven’t already)

• Martha Stewart STUNS in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover — Oh, it’s stunning, that’s for sure. (Like a 2×4 to the face.) I can only assume this is Martha’s revenge for Kathy Ireland getting her own housewares line 25 years ago.
• Google will start deleting inactive accounts after two years
• Drunk driving suspect switched seats with dog when pulled over — I feel like the audacity and cuteness of this move deserved some sort of reward.
• A high-schooler filmed her teacher using the n-word, then got suspended
• Indiana Jones: Disney Plus Release Announced for First Four Movies — Only one of which is actually worth watching. Yay.
