Advertisement My favorite question in the FAQ is “What will be the specs?” And not just for that tortuous effort not to split the infinitive.

Have you started the new season of HBO’s Westworld and found you have no idea what each character is doing? What are they after? It doesn’t help that the previous main character — Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) — now appears to be a completely different person. A human, not a host from the infamous Westworld theme park.
A breast pump is a must for parents who are breastfeeding, a crucial tool that keeps your low milk supply flowing when you can’t breastfeed directly.

This week’s Supreme Court decision to curtail the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions may not have been unexpected, but it was still a bombshell.
