Yes, the world's most powerful man will happily tell you—falsely—that the United States has "the cleanest air, the cleanest water" under his leadership. But he scarcely even mentions the threat posed by climate change, which he may or may not be aware is a separate issue from traditional pollution. We are pumping too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, you see, which is trapping more and more heat and destabilizing the planet.

They make us laugh, they make us feel like insiders, and just when you find yourself sliding into a pit of despair about the state of the Internet, they make it seem generative and democratic. So why are Spongebob Squarepants and his kooky friends the starring characters in so many of them? We have a theory--namely, that Spongebob's sensibility is tailor-made for the Internet. The show is surreal, nonsensical, frantic, slapstick, phantasmagoric. Sounds a lot like life online, doesn't it? For anyone who's been living under a rock (hey, if Patrick can do it, so can you), we've done a deep dive into the weird world of SpongeBob memes to celebrate the beloved cartoon's 20th anniversary.

And we're big fans of having a range of options, like you might with jewelry. Owning one that's good for work, one for the weekend, one for the gym, and one for formal events comes in handy whenever you're getting dressed. It might not be the outfit, but it will make any outfit better, especially if you have an option for every kind of style. We're also big fans of only investing when it's really, really worth it. And sometimes watches are! But other times, like when you're building a range, it's nice to have some on the more budget-friendly end of the spectrum. With all that in mind, we rounded up the best watches to buy under $500. Here's where to start.

Was Hopper really dead? What happened to Eleven's powers? Who is the American? We have many months ahead of pondering these questions and—for the time being—mourning the loss of Hopper. But, for anyone looking for a fresh cry, there's one small, heartbreaking detail fans noticed which details the connection between Hopper and Eleven.

I believe very strongly that the process is well underway—and well under the radar—in Washington. If there are agencies of the government producing data and information that this administration* finds in conflict with its own well-established ignorance in making national policy, the administration* has decided to ship those contrary opinions as far away from Washington as possible.

Both Solo and Rogue One were the subjects of massive reshoots before being unveiled to largely mediocre or downright terrible critical reception. Now, Wired, and a number of other trusted entertainment sites, are reporting on rumors that the upcoming Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker, will be undergoing reshoots of its own. This could mean a lot of things for the production of the highly-anticipated finale of the Skywalker saga. But for now, there's no real cause for worry.
