Long before Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride was somehow all about Sting 1985's The Bride is a take on My Fair Lady weirdly disinterested in its title character, but very interested in Sting's Dr. Frankenstein.

I'm at @avclub.com today, unearthing 1985's THE BRIDE, almost entirely lost to time. It has ... Sting as Dr. Frankenstein? Jennifer Beals as his creation? A completely deranged decision to split its story in half? All that and more. #TheBride #horror #horrormovies

It’s Been Almost Two Months Since the U.S. Invaded a Country. Is It Iran’s Turn to Be a Trump Distraction? Trump claimed the nuclear program of Iran was "obliterated." Now, 8 months later it's "a week away" from having nuclear bombs. Okay, sure.

I've seen a fair amount written about Social Circle, Georgia's horrifying ICE concentration camp that will hold 10,000 people, but not enough copy has been dedicated to the fact that the city says that their entire sewage system will explode the moment the place starts operating.

Daylight Saving Time Is the Latest Argument Waiting to Divorce MAHA from MAGA Trump seems to prefer permanent daylight saving time, while RFK Jr. wants standard time ... but is too cowardly to say so.

Daylight Saving Time is the latest argument waiting to divorce MAHA from MAGA, as Trump and a cowardly RFK Jr. seemingly line up on opposite sides

Trump's immigration agents do so many godawful things, but this might be the single most evil and cruel instance of federal agents not giving a shit about a human life that I have ever witnessed. They abandoned a blind man, didn't tell his family where he was, and he ended up dead.

There Have Already Been More 2026 Measles Cases in the U.S. Than 2023 and 2024 Combined In the first three weeks of 2026, there have already been more than 400 new measles cases, as the U.S. looks to blow past 2025's highs.

Only two months after starting the job, RFK Jr.'s handpicked CDC Deputy Director, Dr. Ralph Abraham, is stepping down. His most significant contribution was telling media it would "not really" be a significant loss when U.S. loses measles elimination status:

Palate: Liquid caramel, brighter fruit notes of citrus and apricot, with some dried fruit qualities. Almost slightly tart? Delicious notes of dark chocolate and sweet roast, with more savory notes of cured leather and cigar wrapper. Not the fullest texture, but quite flavorful.

King of Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon (Batch 1, 105 proof) review:

Nose: Deeply caramelized sugars and very dark notes of molasses cookie and dusty old oak. Barrel char, French roast coffee and dark chocolate-covered cherry. More subtle notes of green rye spice and dried tobacco. #whiskey
