Conan O’Brien’s ‘Hot Ones’ is burning up the internet : NPR
Hot Ones fans talk admiringly about the Padmas and the Charlizes – celebrities who run the show’s gauntlet without being bothered by the heat. Conan decided that he wouldn’t just mock the show’s premise; he’d put every previous guest who shrugged off the sauces’ spiciness to shame. He used his innate comic sensibility – that artisanal mix of restless/needy – to achieve icon status.
The Horrible Star Wars Movie We All Need To Make Peace With | GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT
I didn’t love Star Wars: The Last Jedi when it came out almost seven years ago. If I’m being honest, I still don’t really like it. What I hate even more than The Last Jedi, though, is people talking about how much they hate The Last Jedi. It’s hard for me to say this, but guys—and the fans I’m addressing are mostly guys—it’s time to get over Episode VIII.
How the right wing responded to Tim Sheehy’s bullet wound story
To refresh: the Post’s original story, published last weekend, revealed that Sheehy has made what the Post called “puzzling statements” about his wartime injuries. Most notably, he told a Glacier National Park ranger in 2015 that he accidentally shot himself when his revolver fell and fired in the park. When the Post reached out to ask about a citation he’d received for the incident, he said he’d lied to the ranger in order to cover up a 2012 war wound, possibly caused by friendly fire, that he’d never reported in an attempt to protect his platoonmates from a possible military investigation. Lying to federal law enforcement is a crime, but the statute of limitations has expired.

Property taxes skyrocket statewide, but not for Montana’s governor’s properties
State revenue officials say a reappraisal resulted in the tax decrease for Gianforte’s Helena property, but neighbors in both areas say they’re frustrated by a system they fear is pricing more Montanans out of their homes.
Liam Gallagher & John Squire made their North American live debut @ Brooklyn Paramount (pics, video)
“LIAM! LIAM! LIAM!” Those who weren’t actual British people in the crowd at Brooklyn Paramount on Thursday night were definitely Anglophiles. The lights went down just after 9 PM, and the chants started as Liam Gallagher and John Squire took the stage for what is currently their only North American show to promote the Oasis singer and Stone Roses guitarist’s collaborative debut album.

“To be honest, I don’t consider myself a guitarist, so I don’t sit around and think about the whole thing too much”: Noel Gallagher explains his songwriter mindset in our classic interview | MusicRadar
Never once during our conversation – taking place just two hours before he’s to appear on stage in Philadelphia with his new band High Flying Birds – does it appear as though the singer-songwriter and guitarist is on auto-script, tossing out pre-planned, well-rehearsed answers. By turns direct, fresh, surprising (even to him, sometimes) and remarkably funny, Gallagher is, as ever, the real deal.
