Surprise! Florida’s Elections Are a Complete Disaster

Rick Scott is using his authority as governor to ratfck the election process with armed law-enforcement personnel.

Sure! Hawking's script for that episode went up for auction at Christie's, where it was expected to go for at least $2,520. When the auction closed Thursday, it had sold for more than three times as much: $8,144. And that's the least impressive chunk of change the auction pulled in for one of Hawking's 22 personal items.

The vinegar shines, but doesn't tear you apart the way it does when dancing with salt only. The barbecue is vibrant, but not so powerful that you can't taste potato. The ketchup adds a hint of necessary sweetness to the mix. Altogether, the flavor of these chips is as exciting and complex as any flavor on the market.

There's The Old Gods of the Forest, The Faith of the Seven, The Lord of Light, The Many-Faced God—all of them with different powers, and prophecies, and deities, and followers. What's interesting about George R.R. Martin's fantasy world compared to others is magic is very rare. There aren't schools of magic or roaming wizards or whatever. Instead, magic itself is more rooted in religion, where followers of The Lord of Light like Melisandre can birth shadow babies or those faithful to The Many-Faced God can change their appearance like our girl Arya. So, if all magic is tied to religion, could that explain the powers that Bran and the Night King have?

An A-list actor showing off his junk on film feels like an event, and so I was certainly enthusiastic about it. It's less about the penis and more about the effort behind it (something one could say in support of dick pics, of course—it's all about lighting and angles), and it is certainly out of the ordinary for a celebrity of Pine's stature to show his off. Pine himself has low key complained about the dickscourse, bemoaning the fact that it's focused more on his penis than the film's violent scenes—or even the fact that his co-star Florence Pugh's own nude scene isn't also starting discussions.

Your friend is wrong, and you should be empowering him over the next few months to take the jump. Wanna know someone who's not afraid to do it themselves? Alexander Skarsgård.
