The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defector You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

BTW, if you want to read an actually good story about Sydney Sweeney I really liked this from 3 years ago defector.com/the-money-is...

What are the Blackhawks getting in No. 29 overall pick Mason West? The two-sport Minnesota teenager has some intriguing physical abilities which could lead to a successful NHL career in the future.

In honor of there being a Bears game on Sunday (kind of), here's a deeper dive on a #Blackhawks first-round pick who'll be lining up at QB for his senior year of high school in a few weeks.

AC installation ongoing as I type. Current thermostat reading is 84. Will we set a new high score of 85 before the installation is done and the AC kicks back on? Stay tuned to find out!

I'm closing in on 48 hours without functional AC during two of the hottest days of the summer and have never identified with this GIF harder.

The day after my last move it took every ounce of energy just to get to my couch by Noon for the Bears game. Felt like I'd been hit by 3 busses simultaneously.

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

The band I've adored more than any other for, probably, a couple of decades now is still together, still with its original lineup and still making new music. It's just so, so damn great, man.
