Orly Minazad is a freelance writer and regrets it every day of her life. She moved to the States from Iran in 1991 with her family seeking better opportunities only to waste them earning a Masters in Professional Writing degree from USC which no longer exists, cost a lot of money, and for which she has nothing to show. No, she is not bitter at all. Why do you ask? Oh, you didn’t, ok. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles where she spends the day loading and unloading the dishwasher.

Apple has graced us with a crumb of Ted Lasso news, announcing that season 3 will air this spring. (The Verge)

I will not deny that Madonna is a damn legend, but this tour announcement could have been an email.

Turns out Metal Gear was right all along. AI robots can’t find you if you’re hiding under a box or doing cartwheels in real life. (Kotaku)

Channing Tatum has the rights to the movie Ghost, which means we are getting a Ghost Daddy Tatum reboot we didn’t ask for. (Deadline)

Just for the record, I do not like the term “Daddy” but that has not stopped me from enjoying this video.

Can we use any other term? Chief? Constable? Superintendent? Anything but “daddy.”

On that note, The Last of Us did not disappoint. (The Antagonist)

Have you ever woken up and thought “Hey, I wonder how Czech-Austrian philosopher Karl Kautsky who died in 1938 feels about this whole Meghan and Harry thing?” Wonder no more. There’s a new AI Chatbot that lets you text with famous people, dead or alive. (My Modern Met)

Is anyone surprised Dr. Pepper Peeps exists? (Nerdist)

Doorbell Horror genre is basically our HOA email thread of everyone sharing their Ring clips. (The Antagonist)

If this house in Joshua Tree is really invisible, does that mean you never have to clean it? (Artnet)

OK, hear me out. Bacon bouquet instead of flowers for Valentine’s Day (and other tips). (Food Network)

I feel like MLK deserves better than whatever this sculpture is. (Hyperallergic)

The insane Miss Universe costumes were the best part of the pageant. (Jezebel)

I feel bad for whoever has to go after Leslie Jones as guest host of The Daily Show. (Pajiba)

Alec Baldwin was charged today with involuntary manslaughter. (NPR)

If reaching sexual nirvana means I have to take a class where I’m tied for 5 hours, then I prefer to remain sexually unenlightened. (Vice)

I have so many questions.
