Hello! Hope everyone has a pleasant Memorial Day weekend, if you’re in the United States.

First: We’re going to be hosting an open thread over at Drinks With Broads during the Succession series finale on Sunday; as always, comments are open to paid subscribers, and everyone can read them. This week, all newsletter subscribers got a delicious blind item via Melissa McCarthy and musings about Grey’s Anatomy, and the paid list got that newsletter, plus all recaps, plus intel about how Josh Duhamel is now a Doomsday prepper (!!), among other intriguing things — like why Heather ran her wine through a blender.

Speaking of, I know a lot of folks here read Girls of a Certain Age, and Kim is now on Substack! (Her website got mangled this week and I’m not sure what’s going to happen with it; the newsletter is great and basically is the website just…on Substack.)

At Decider: Ferocious And Wild: An Imperial Tina Turner Proved To Be The Soul Of ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.’ (We rounded up 21 amazing photos of Tina here.)

At Vanity Fair: How 25 Dubious Basquiats Created a Massive Museum Scandal—And Exposed Some Dark Art Truths
