Hey, all you stylish ladies! It’s a crazy world right now. Things are heating up in conflict zones around the globe, various countries are on literal fire, and we may be heading for the hottest event of the millennium — nuclear war!

Dear Captain Gregg,

My friends think that having a hot sea captain haunting my cottage is “romantic,” but I’m afraid I’m a more practical sort. Can you please move on to your afterlife? When I signed the lease I was not informed of any other tenants. If I wanted a roommate, I would have looked on Craigslist.

Water spill on grounds so fine;
Coffee bloom will be…

Dear The Public,

It’s me. Harvey Weinstein’s money.

I realize I’m not a sympathetic figure at the moment. That’s the media for you — always pushing one side of the narrative without thinking about the innocent victims who get hurt along the way. Well, today I’m here to set the record straight about the true victim of these recent allegations of sexual assault.

Me.

I was born years ago, when Harvey founded the independent film distribution company Miramax. I started as a pitiful handful of dollars and quickly grew after the company launched films like Good Will Hunting, Shakespeare in…
