Bad news, everyone, I’m back. First off, huge thanks to Dustin for hosting Pajiba Love while I spent some time with my wife and kids that did not involve school runs, orthodontist visits, and/or 800 trips to the grocery store. The Graham Platner bit was a masterful move, so keeping with that good-natured ribbing, how’s ol’ Oyster Fetterman doing these days? Let’s take a peek… (Axios)
Moving on! Kenny Loggins definitely saw that AI video over the weekend, and let’s just say someone has made a powerful enemy, my friend. It’s about to get footloose up in this b*tch. (Variety)

After reading the provocative excerpts published in The Guardian, drmllz picked up Elizabeth Gilbert’s most recent memoir, All the Way to the River. “This is certainly tragic and messy (and I haven’t even touched on Gilbert’s own love and sex addiction and codependency here), underpinned by highly problematic messaging-but it also wasn’t that gripping, overall-you don’t really need to buy the book.” Which book would you give negative stars?
