Freddie Mercury's Lost Version of 'Time Waits for No One' is Absolutely Stunning
 
Freddie Mercury's legacy continues to grow, even years after his death. On Thursday morning, Universal Music released a song and video for a previously unreleased version of 'Time Waits for No One.' It's a stripped-down performance of the song with Mercury's vocals accompanied only by a lonely piano. It's beautiful and haunting, especially compared to the theatrical, choir-backed 1986 original track. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
So How Do You Feel About Another War in the Middle East Under President Fox News Grandpa?
 
'Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk,' was the headline of a particularly galaxy-brain Maureen Dowd piece in the opinion pages of The New York Times during the 2016 campaign. Sure, Clinton would have been a foreign-policy hardliner, but the idea that Donald Trump is some sort of peacenik—or, more to the point, the kind of person who abides by any kind of steadfast principles whatsoever—is so delusional it would be funny if he weren't the president. Which, in fairness, is probably what Dowd thought would happen: Trump would lose, and her trollicle would forever be a hypothetical. Now that guy is the world's most powerful man, and his administration appears to be angling for a war with Iran. Read More

Lena Headey Just Explained the Truth About Cersei's Pregnancy Plot Hole on Game of Thrones
 
The underwhelming final season of Game of Thrones left a lot of questions unanswered. For example, what the hell was going on with Cersei's pregnancy? She told Jaime and Tyrion near the end of Season Seven she was expecting, but it was unclear if this was a ploy to gain the sympathy of her brothers or if she was actually pregnant with Jaime's child. Over the weekend at German Comic Con, actress Lena Headey explained that they actually shot a scene which answers that question. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Democrats Need to Stop With the Closed-Door Hearings Where We Get Shards of the Truth
 
There used to be actual consequences for refusing to testify when called before bodies like congressional committees and federal grand juries. People went to jail. They were fined within an inch of their net worth. These penalties could be assessed fairly or unfairly, but the ability to levy them had some power and authority behind it. Once again, all old things are made new again, or, as Peter Pan put it in a vastly different context, everything is possible if you wish it to be so. Read More
