That does deserve praise. Time after time, our fearless leader attacked the then-attorney general in public on the basis that, by recusing himself from the Justice Department's Russia probe, he was failing to protect the president. Never mind that the attorney general is the nation's top law-enforcement officer, not the president's lawyer. And never mind that Sessions recused himself on two bases: one, that he served on Trump's campaign so had a conflict of interest; and two, that he'd appeared to lie under oath in his confirmation hearings—Sessions denied this—about whether he'd had contacts with Russians during the campaign.

Sansa proved an able queen. Arya killed the Night King. Jon, god love him, didn't accomplish much for most of the season but damn if he didn't look like he was trying. And then at the end he killed a budding tyrant! All three put major accomplishments on the board. Unfortunately, in the end, Bran, who spent the season staring into the distance and occasionally saying something vague, ended up king of pretty much everything.

But in 1985, a group of Holocaust survivors identified Demjanjuk as Ivan the Terrible, a sadistic Nazi death camp guard who tortured men, women, children, and babies before pushing them into the gas chamber at the Treblinka camp in Poland.

Olivia Kim and Nike have a seriously great collection of collaborative kicks coming out—just make sure to size up 1.5 if you're used to men's sizing (they're all technically women's releases). Adidas has another team-up on the horizon, this time with the Italian textile specialists at Missoni. Jordan Brand partnered with an L.A.-based artist to bring some primary-color fun to the AJ1 (and there's an AJ4 in the Olivia Kim collection). That's not even close to all of it, though. Check out the whole lineup right here.

The film is an adaptation of Stephen King's 2013 novel, which is itself a sequel to his 1977 classic The Shining. And in 1980 Stanley Kubrick famously used the book as the basis for one of the best horror films of all time. But The Shining the book and The Shining the movie are two very different creatures—which is why King famously hates the film adaptation. In order to honor his literary source material while still allowing the Doctor Sleep movie to fit into the world established by Kubrick's Shining, Flanagan had to make some changes. Beware: there are a ton of spoilers below. Read More           Shia LaBeouf Wore a Cropped Sweatshirt and Now I Guess I Need a Pair of Scissors   Shia LaBeouf has places to be and people to see. He is far too busy for messing around or mucking about, which is why, I presume, he is making the "Do you have any idea what time it is?" motion, despite the fact that he is clearly not wearing a watch. Dude's got stuff to do! He can't be held back by dawdlers or bogged down by excess fabric.
