George Santos is a true American archetype: the snake-oil salesman. It's a story as old as this country, though the truth pretty much ends there. I'm just waiting for this guy to announce he's a four-time champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. For his part, the freshman congressman from New York has admitted to "embellishing" some things, though he's also said he's "done nothing unethical," and where-oh-where did he get the idea that completely shameless behavior could be an asset in our politics today? The mystery abounds, just as further mysteries do with regard to the specifics of who George Santos is and where he came from.

No zombie apocalypse required. |
| The stylish Italian rockers have stadium-sized hooks, a punk rock attitude, and dreams of global (super)stardom. It's a recipe the world just might be ready for—again. |

It's 2018 and I'm writing a profile of David Crosby, leading up to my interview with the now-late singer-songwriter, I brace myself. I have no idea what to expect. One of the main pillars of Crosby's personality, which he fully embraced, is that he was so proudly outspoken. At his best, it was for the advocacy he preached. And at his still/quasi-lovable worst, as an unparalleled curmudgeon. In other words, he didn't give a single fuck. |

From sleek LEDs to retro lamps, we've got them all. |
| The actor's directorial debut, 'When You Finish Saving the World,' shows that being on the (relatively) right side of history doesn't absolve absolutely ridiculous behavior. |

How did celebrities spend their downtime in the '90s? Not having their picture taken, for starters. Their lives were already awash in photographers—at premieres, photo shoots, award shows, you name it. But occasionally some famous people let photographers come backstage or inside their homes and hotel rooms. Sometimes, they were captured eating, walking down the street, or at the airport. And even when they were off duty, celebrities in the '90s still looked rich and famous. Well, most of them. |
