The David Lynch estate auction doubled as a caffeinated wake Most of the bidding action was online. But at a ritzy Beverly Hills hotel, hopeful bidders united by genuine affection for Lynch admired the tools of the late artist's trade. It was a mirthful wake.

Why So Many MAGA Men Look Like Joe Rogan The slim-fit uniform of grindset entrepreneurs and right wing podcasters can be traced back decades.

I want to give credit to my editors, who asked me to write 2,000 words on why Andrew Tate wears such tight pants. I submitted 3,700. They asked if I really needed to start with a story about the industrial revolution and I said "yes, absolutely don't cut."
