While attending UFC 327 over the weekend, Guy Fieri was caught on camera shaking hands and bumping shoulders with Andrew and Tristan Tate. Obviously, this was not a great look for Guy, and people have spent the past 72 hours lighting him up. To his credit, Fieri has taken the criticism to heart and issued an apology. He also wants to set the record straight that he had no idea who the two men even were. “I’ll never pretend to be a perfect person,” Fieri wrote, “but let me be crystal clear, I do not know the Tate brothers nor do I support them in any way.” Do I believe him? I do, actually. Unless you’re a political junkie or chronically online, there’s a high probability you’re blissfully unaware of the Tates. To which I ask, what is that like? Does food taste better? I bet it does. (PEOPLE)

Circling back to people I wish I knew nothing about, Clavicular would rather smash his face with a hammer than finish an interview. P.S. I recently learned that he uses crystal meth to stay thin, and I feel like that answers a whole lot of questions in the hammer-to-face category. (Celebitchy)

Ruby Rose now claims she’s reported Katy Perry to the police and will no longer be commenting on allegations that she was assaulted by the pop star, which Perry has denied. Who do I believe in this situation? Well, the rule of thumb is to believe women, and you can see the conundrum there. Honestly, though, this probably shakes out one of two ways: It’s stupid drunken nonsense that Perry did and will be corroborated by witnesses because most people will remember seeing something like that, or Ruby Rose is about to get sued into the sun.

Luigi Mangione is wrongly credited for causing Blue Cross to reverse a policy on putting a time-limit on anesthesia. The policy was never in place, and a decision not move forward with it was made before the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. I bring this up now because crap like what’s happening in this article is doing nothing. I want to yell “go outside,” but unfortunately, that seems to be covered, so I’ll go with “get off your phone.” (Gizmodo)

After having it on her shelf for a few years, beereadsbooks finally read N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate. “As with the previous book, the reader is rewarded for their patience as answers to mysteries posed throughout the story are slowly rolled out over time.” Which books reward a close reading?
