Bill Ackman defends his wife Neri Oxman, though you could argue he threw her to the wolves. Marriage = it’s complicated!

The Bill Ackman-Neri Oxman-Claudine Gay-whoever else storm continues to rage. How does anyone get work done? We sort through the madness, and along the way:

  • Nancy is the “Epstein Island” of the Illuminati

  • Did Sinead die of a broken heart?

  • Bill Ackman’s tweets are longer than the Bible

  • How is Claudine Gay’s op-ed like Amber Heard’s?

  • What constitutes cheating, and should the rules be clarified?

  • The ethics of stealing from Tom Waits

  • The new Atlantic writer who’s captured our hearts

  • Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lopez in pink gowns: Who wore it best?

  • Jeremy Allen White’s Calvin Klein ad ha-cha-cha

  • Succession, Succession, suhk-sesh-SHON!!!

  • Wait, who kissed Sarah?

Plus, the Obama-era sitcom that’s finally making a comeback, the roads that carve across California, and more!
