Shitty Male TV Characters You Love Because Your Dad Was a Yeller
Chief Hopper, 'Stranger Things': He's overweight, smokes like a chimney, and screams down a woman or child at least thrice a day.

How to Plan a Babymoon Vacation
So you're having a baby. First of all, let me say this: girl, I respect your journey. You are so brave. What with the crazy swelling, delicious stuff unexpectedly making you want to vom, and the whole caring-for-someone-else-until-your-dying-day thing, my feelings on this concept can be summed up by the iconic words of Randy Jackson, the most mentally stable of the OG American Idol judges: "It's a no from me, dawg."

Best Movies About Cars
I don’t know very much about cars, but I know this: they’re heavy, they’re complicated, men use them to overcompensate, and movies about them are usually pretty cool. There’s nothing like a good car chase on the big screen, so if you want to feel like you’re moving very fast in an expensive vehicle while you’re actually sitting on your couch covered in potato chip crumbs, here are some of the best movies about cars to add to your list.

Dear Donald... You're A Nightmare
Jesus Elizabeth Christ, Donald Trump. I barely know where to start. When I decided to write this open letter, I was overwhelmed by the magnitude of what I wanted to say. And while I know a silent woman is one of your favorite things, along with putting your name on stuff, making awful interior decorating choices, and holding those little bottles of Tabasco to feel better about your baby claws, I’ll try to articulate my thoughts.

If you want to spend the spring and summer enjoying cold ones without as much alcoholic kick, here are the best low-alcohol beers to sample.

Presidents Who Smoked Weed
There are some presidential facts that we all know by heart: the George Washington cherry tree story; the details of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination; the fact that William Howard Taft was fat and had a mustache and literally nothing else about him. But people rarely talk about how several US presidents smoked marijuana; the question almost never shows up on AP exams. With the national conversation about pot becoming more tolerant, it’s about time we all learned about presidents who smoked weed.

Best Ramen in NYC
Ramen is a Japanese dish that has far more potential than the ultra-affordable styrofoam cups full of noodles that you survived off in college. It’s a traditional Japanese dish made with wheat noodles in a broth (usually fish- or meat-based). It can be flavored with miso or soy sauce, and it’s often served with sliced pork, dried seaweed, green onions, boiled eggs, bean sprouts, fish paste, or a variety of other ingredients.
