If Anthony Warner Were a Muslim Cleric, We Wouldn't See This Intricate Discussion About Who's a Terrorist
 
If, as all the evidence indicates, Anthony Quinn Warner set off a huge incendiary device on a downtown street in a major American city, then he committed a terrorist act and is, therefore, a dead terrorist.

The rush is over. Phone calls and video calls made, things unwrapped, food eaten, cocktails drank, driveway shoveled. Now, it's that weird middle-holiday lull, where you might be pretending to work or not working at all as you look ahead to the new year. In other words, it's a good time to shop for all the stuff you didn't get for Christmas. And one of the best after-Christmas sales is the one that's happening over at Nordstrom, with its Half-Yearly event. Nordstrom's Half-Yearly sale covers it all—clothing, accessories, some tech, home goods—but most exciting is arguably its deals on kitchen items, since that's where we live now: in the kitchen.

The 40 Best Comedy Series of All Time
 
There are a thousand and one ways to break down the anatomy of a great comedy series. Sure, it has to make you laugh, but that's just the bare minimum.

Whether you like your comedies sophisticated, crude, or some combination of both, we're living in the golden age of streaming, meaning that there's no shortage of stellar choices. But what stands out amid the crowded field? Presented in no particular order are 40 of our all-time favorites, which run the gamut from old faithfuls to new standouts, sketch comedies to scripted programs, mockumentaries to workplace comedies. When you settle in on the sofa to stream your new obsession, be sure to keep a pillow within arm's reach—you're going to need it to brace your ribs when they start to ache from laughter.
