“Barnes & Noble’s Top 20 holiday gift ideas include only 1 book”
And even the one book is not one designed for reading in any traditional sense. It’s a “how-to” about designing and decorating your home.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson accused of rape and sexual harassment by four women
I just found out from reading this article that Tyson and I were in grad school at the University of Texas together in the mid 80s. Our paths would not have crossed. I never spent any time on campus except in classes because I was living 200 miles from campus! Even if I had been living in Austin at the time, I might not have run into him. He was working toward a Ph.D, and I was in the business school taking an executive MBA program, so we had no common coursework and studied in completely different buildings. (Not to mention that I was only there on weekends, and he probably studied M-F.)
Even if two people take similar programs at UT, they might not meet unless they have common classes for some reason. UT is monstrous. It has 10,000 grad students and a total enrollment of about 50,000.
The Texas chapter of his life is one he does not like to discuss. (He got his master’s degree in astronomy, but was flunked out as a Ph.D candidate.) Heaven only knows why he chose to go to UT in the first place. He is a native New Yorker and had an undergraduate degree from Harvard, so he might have picked just about any prestigious grad school in the northeast. One wonders why he didn’t go to Columbia in the first place. At any rate, he eventually earned his Ph.D from Columbia in the field of astrophysics.
Anyway – digression over. Things look bad for him, but I hope he is innocent. Like just about everyone else, I really enjoy his TV appearances.
The neo-Nazi accused of killing a woman in Charlottesville after driving his car into a crowd of protesters said “it doesn’t fucking matter” that the victim died. James Alex Fields referred to Heather Heyer, the woman he allegedly killed, as “that one girl who died, or whatever.”

Here is the answer: there is no nudity in season two of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel.
The Trumps, Obamas, Clintons and Carters were seated together.
Or maybe it wasn’t intentional. Maybe Trump is so large that he pulls them all toward him with a massive gravity field. His belt is not VanHeusen’s, but Van Allen’s. (Astrophysics joke. Very big with us porno guys.)
Hillary was particularly cold and refused to acknowledge Trump’s presence. That isn’t easy with a guy the size of Delaware.
