"America is not made," said Robert LaFollette, "but is in the making." We have never lived up to our founding values, but our champion women have invited us to try again, and keep trying. Open up your arms and embrace the glory—but only after you've worked your butt off, for years and decades, imagining the moment until you make it real through sheer determination and force of will. That's what the USWNT did.

The kids are doing normal kid things, then weird things start happening, then they're the only ones who take responsibility for the lives of everyone in Hawkins, then they get together to fight some scary inter-dimensional beast (which is always done thanks to Eleven's powers). There are pop culture references. There are cool clothes. There's the hair. There are so many vintage '80s products that it feels like a lengthy throwback commercial. There's the spooky and cool synth soundtrack. It's like living in an echo chamber of trends and shows and movies and songs, and it doesn't help that most of this season could be copy and pasted into either two of the seasons before it.

"Young dogg with Kurt," he captioned the image, "[19]92." "This shit is incredible!!" commented Busta Rhymes. Tyrese was into the picture too. "Wow we already know you're legendary," he wrote, "you just took it up a few levels!!" But the picture was perhaps too legendary to be real.

It's always familiar, and it's great because it gives you all the things you want—even if it's not everything you need. That's why settling into the third season of Stranger Things is like going home again—familiar friends, comfortable settings, and all that nostalgic fun. But that's what also makes this season finale so jarring—with a number of big twists that we'll spend the next year or so thinking about, once our tears have dried of course. These are the 30 questions that will be running through our head to a pulsing synth beat until Stranger inevitably returns for its fourth season.

Moreover, its contempt for Congress, and for constitutional limits to its power, grows by the hour. The clock is ticking faster, and somebody thought the best defense against encroaching authoritarianism was to give an afternoon of hang-around time with the Speaker to Maureen Dowd, as if that matters a damn anymore. Read More           Euphoria Just Outlined the Messy Reality of Sending Nudes   At every point throughout the first four episodes of this series, whenever someone takes a photo of their naked body, it inevitably comes back to haunt them. These are the unfortunate circumstances of this show—and possibly the real world—where teens are repeatedly punished for exploring their sexuality. That all comes to a breaking point in a really messed up way in Episode Four.
