James Ellroy's historical novel, The Enchanters, takes place during the summer of 1962 with the main character investigating the death of Marilyn Monroe. He speculates that the Kennedys had Marilyn Monroe killed and writes:

'Their motive? To quash "rampant rumors" of her liaisons with John and Robert and their plans to establish a "Mormon menage" at the president's Camp David retreat.'

I've never come across this particular term before and was wondering if it was just a general reference to polygamy or if it meant something different in 1962.

She smells so good right now.

I reviewed movies for a horror website from 2006-2011 and ended up receiving literally hundreds of indie screeners in little envelopes to review. They've been hanging out in this bin in the closet for the past 15 years, but I'm about to move, and I don't know if they're worth keeping. Any advice from seasoned collectors?

Cons: Without others contributing, it was too difficult to establish the zipline network I loved in DS. I was compelled to get the mines up and running and focus on Pavelayers the first half of the game and Tracklayers in the back half.

Pros: The sense of isolation and immersion was glorious. I would very occasionally see a random bridge or generator from another porter, but about 95% of the structures were my own. This allowed me to memorize the map based on my own selected routes, eschewing the neon clutter that jerks you out of the game. I ignored the roads to the outer settlements, choosing instead to mark my path with dozens of Glowposts and filling orders by night on a Coffin Board. It was truly surreal and incredibly rewarding.

I realize the DS games aren't for everybody, but personally I've never had a better gaming experience in my life. Thank you, Hideo.

I named him Teancum.

100 physical stores planned in India alone. That's wild.

I have a four-year-old pug named Gracie Bell. About 18 months ago, the vet noticed a lump in her shoulder we had somehow overlooked. It was quickly diagnosed as non-cancerous, a fatty lipid deposit, so the vet attempted to remove it surgically. It turns out the deposit was embedded in shoulder tissue and the surgeon was unable to remove it. The vet said to keep an eye on Gracie's mobility over the next few months, and while she is as spry and playful as ever, the fatty deposit has spread down toward her paw the last few months. At this point my vet seems stymied, and I'd like to reach out to the dog community to ask for possible solutions.
