Anyone who’s waited tables for even a single shift knows that there are some people who simply cannot be pleased. A server recently shared the hellish experience she endured at the hands of a brunch table of nine women.
Teagan Stewart (@teaganstewartmusic) is a country music singer/songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. Stewart also waits tables at a hotel.

I spent a lot of my adult life thinking that I watched the 28 Days Later films when I was in high school. Call it forgetfulness or just that I saw zombies and thought I’d seen them but alas, I had not actually watched the franchise.
I know this now because I watched both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later and realized that I’d never seen these movies. So I came into the franchise with fresh eyes without KNOWING that I was coming into it with fresh eyes. With 28 Years Later coming out soon, I wanted to “revisit” the films. But hilariously I found something new to obsess over within the films, originally created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland: I’d never trust a man in an apocalypse.

cupcake_gotharstechnica_feedTwo commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission are resigning at the end of this week. For at least a little while, the FCC will have just two members: Chairman Brendan Carr, a Republican chosen by Trump to lead the agency, and Anna Gomez, a Democratic commissioner.
Democrat Geoffrey Starks announced in March that he would leave in the near future, and today he said that Friday will be his final day. Starks' departure could have given Carr a 2-1 Republican majority, but it turns out Republican Commissioner Nathan Simington will leave at the same time as Starks.
"I will be concluding my tenure at the Federal Communications Commission at the end of this week," Simington announced today. "It has been the greatest honor of my professional life to serve the American people as a Commissioner. I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with this responsibility by President Donald J. Trump during his first term."

If you ask fans of Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach about the two actors who love working together, we all have our favorite performances. Whether it is The Bear or The Punisher, we love seeing the two work together. And now we can see them on stage!
It was announced that Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach will be bringing an adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon to life from The Motherf***er With the Hat playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Rupert Goold, who is responsible for productions of American Psycho and Spring Awakening on the West End is set to direct the two in their Broadway debuts!

Tickets for The Fantastic Four: Final Steps are now on sale. With the announcement came a final trailer for the film and trust me when I say that I did not expect to cry over one part of the trailer.
Fans have been very excited about Matt Shakman’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Rightfully so. They are dubbed Marvel’s “First Family” and yet we have waited over ten years to see their introduction into the Marvel universe. To be fair, that wasn’t fully on the MCU but it is about time to see how Reed Richards, Sue and Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm all play into the larger universe.

Gothic architecture. Candlelit study sessions. Finding a body belonging to one of the student body. This is dark academia, the high school experience that we all secretly wish we had. While not all of us were privileged enough to live this fantasy (or escape it without copious student loans) these authors were gracious enough to give us all the dark academia drama without any of the actual scholastic mortal peril. Here are some of the 10 best dark academia fantasy books on the syllabus.
While R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War trilogy is also about a nightmarish school experience, her followup novel Babel or The Necessity of Violence turns up the dark academia dial to eleven. The plot concerns a Chinese orphan who is adopted by an English scholar – the boy is renamed Robin Swift and relentlessly tutored in the study of language arts. After learning a slew of tongues both living and dead, he’s groomed to attend the Royal Institute of Translation at Oxford University, nicknamed “Babel” after the biblical tower whose construction was doomed by linguistic differences. While attending Babel, Swift discovers a dark secret, the Institute is using the latent magic found in untranslatable words to serve as magical fuel for the colonial exploits of the ever expanding British Empire. A better cautionary tale of how academia can be corrupted to serve dark ends there never was.
