(And I don't really care to be enlightened)
- The "British Bake Off Show" and who is on or off of it.
- Who or what Milo Yiannopoulos is. A fashion designer? A Balkan-yogurt based dish? One of the actors from Perfect Strangers?
- Heidi Klum's history of Halloween costumes.

Gosh, I wish I didn't know who Milo Yiannoppolous was. I have a vague understanding that he says outrageous offensive (headline grabbing) things, that he supports Trump (I think) and that he is anti immigrant, women, or muslims (or maybe all three) but that's about it. And every time I see I headline referencing him I just keep on going. I've been exposed to enough people spouting off ignorant comments that I don't need to willingly subject myself to more. |

Ghostbusters. I guess they're a couple of movies where people bust ghosts? And Leslie Jones was abused by Twitter for being involved with one?

Gay MRA troll. Although that last one might be redundant. |

I think she does a lot of social media stuff. 2) As I'm sure I don't need to tell people, especially you, a lot of people like to tell women what they're doing is wrong. |

Recently found out that Calvin Harris and Billie Jean King are white after spending years thinking they were black.

David S. Pumpkins is a little bit of Halloween delight, honestly, and I'm sort of resistant to SNL's charms. But I'm not resistant to Tom Hanks' charms.
Stranger Things is a slightly scary bit of 80s pop-culture mashup and the "bald kid" is Eleven and she's awesome.
