  • Elon Musk's secret weapon is, of course, a woman. Meet Gwynne Shotwell, "she launches spaceships, sells rockets, and deals with Elon Musk."
  • Missing pages from Malcolm X's autobiography turned up at an auction, which also includes "a Detroit house associated with Rosa Parks that was bought by an artist, disassembled and shipped to Germany, then shipped back again"!
  • Nearly 900 apartments are without running water at a NYCHA complex in Brooklyn.
  • Video shows a McDonald's employee body-slamming a milkshake-throwing customer. Keep it classy, Vegas.
  • Antoni from Queer Eye will reopen the old Village Den. But will there be hummus?
  • ❤️Michelle Williams got secret-married and everyone is very happy for her ❤️
  • Gwyneth Paltrow says she is not "Becky with the good hair," and why are we still talking about this?
  • Demi Lovato will enter rehab following her release from the hospital. The singer OD'd this week, and was quickly administered Narcan, but refused to tell EMTs what drugs she had taken.
  • And now, please enjoy a 7 hour journey on a train, thanks to the soothing magic of Norwegian slow television (which you can also watch on Netflix):
