There's a Lot More Lurking Beneath Trump's 'Flaming Dancer' Tweet
 
The President of the United States watches the Fake News MSNBC in the hopes someone will praise him like one of those big, strong, crying men we always hear about at his rallies. Ideally, the TV people will call him, "Mr. Trump." But then, when he is insufficiently praised, he takes to the Tweet Machine to attack the people from the TV screen. This would be unhealthy behavior for any adult, much less an adult with a 13-year-old child, and much, much less the guy in whom we have seen fit to vest the powers of the American presidency. We have mostly accepted this, however, as normal. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Chrissy Teigen Fired Back at Trump's Twitter Attack With a New Presidential Nickname
 
Donald Trump generally has two or three Twitter feuds going at any time. He's fired high-ranking members of the government via the platform, insulted former friends and aides, and bashed sitcom stars.

The Ending of It Chapter Two Was Completely Wild. Here's How it All Went Down.
 
It Chapter Two features a recurring joke about the fact that books written by grown-up Losers leader Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy) tend to have unsatisfying endings. His wife isn't a fan of his endings, and the director helming the big-screen adaptation of one of his novels doesn't love them, either. Even Stephen King himself makes a brief cameo as a shopkeeper who declares that Bill's endings suck. The running joke nods at a criticism that's been directed at some of King's works, which is that while he weaves dense and engrossing stories, he can sometimes fail to stick their landings.

The Roku Premiere Is the Easiest (and Cheapest) Streaming Device You Can Buy
 
Sometimes, you just want to watch some TV. Just grab a remote, body-flop onto a lumpy couch, and dedicate the remainder of your day to aimlessly clicking through your video libraries—be it Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, or all three plus fourteen others—until you finally land on the same old movie you rewatch at least once a month. (Independence Day, anyone?) Roku's latest streaming device is all you need to make that happen. Whether you don't yet own a streaming device, the device you have is a complicated nightmare, or you're simply ready to upgrade from a previous Roku model, you should give the Roku Premiere your attention. And then you can go back to watching TV until your eyes cross. Read More
