They’re baaaaaack. That’s right, the time travelers of TikTok have returned, with more predictions about the future that will probably turn out to be B.S., but are goofy and interesting to read about anyway. The TikTok time travelers are always from different years in the future, but the one thing they have in common is that they believe making TikTok videos is the best way to communicate with the people of our time. Apparently they consider the key decision-makers of our time to be teenagers and people in their early twenties, and middle-aged goofballs like me who are still amused... Read More

Of course, everybody knows the important facts about entertainment today — we’ve got so many terrific magazines to tell us about them — but little is known about the pop culture tales of yesteryear. However, recently I sought to rectify that. I put on my Indiana Jones hat, searched for aged scrolls, dug into dusty tomes and haunted musty libraries looking to bring you the stories you just won’t get anywhere else.  And here they are. Here are the last millenium’s great untold moments in entertainment, in no particular order:   * 1450: Johann Gutenberg invents the... Read More

Words really can’t express how disappointed I am in lawmakers — on both sides of the aisle — in BOTH Illinois and Iowa. I’m just tired of the empty promises, the delaying, the obfuscation, the laziness in putting off one of the biggest and most profound issues of the day that, again, BOTH parties from BOTH states should be addressing. And that is that neither state has officially adopted Def Leppard’s “Armageddon It” as the official state song. I mean, c’mon people. Or, ya know, in words of Joe Biden, “C’mon maaaan!” Listen, I mean,... Read More

Welcome to the column for all carbon-based life-forms. If you breathe oxygen, this is for you. And if you live on a planet, especially Earth, well, then, you’ve come to the right place. Sorry, but I’m just following the new trend in advertising: casting as absurdly wide a net as possible. Products used to be advertised to a fairly specialized base. Each ad could be counted on to pander in its own unique way. You’d have your commercials aimed at seniors, in which someone sincere who was on TV when it was still seen only in black-and-white would give a testimonial about the product. Said commercial... Read More

I get lost sometimes in my reviews. One can only describe how a food tastes so many times without repeating themselves. It was great, amazing, flavorful, perfect, the best I’ve ever had, omg Becki so good, LIT AF. I am sure I could continue on. This weekend, I had the chance to sit down at California Pho , invited by Binh Nguyen Van. Joined by Cook and Cuffs by Chef Keys . What I was in store for was more than any of the words above. Normally I try to order 4 to 5 things off the menu to give everyone a spread of foods to ogle over. However today we are keeping it simple. 3 items... Read More

This week, there was quite a tizzy in Hollywood that, for once, had nothing to do with a supposed satanic ritual regarding people dressed up as cartoon devils. No, this week was the Oscars luncheon, which reminded my of former colleague Liz Meegan, who was the only human being who I’ve ever actually heard use the word luncheon in real life. It also reminded me that the Oscars are coming up, and I haven’t seen many of the nominees, so I’ve got to get on that to make my predictions. Last year, I was more surprised at how boring and pretentious many of the movies are than I was impressed,... Read More
