    Food / Drink Culver's CurderBurger

    I had no idea this was a thing. Started as an April fools joke, then appeared for 1 day last year and quickly sold out. They will be available starting next Wednesday through end of the month, or while supplies last. The one-day event last year saw 136,000 CurderBurgers sold with 20% of its...

    TV John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise

    6 part series on Peacock. Really good docuseries with a '92 interview of Gacy himself before he was executed in '94. This goes deep into the Chicago/Cook county machine, Gacy's political connections, and the influences it had on this entire case, even to this day. I didn't know JWG maintained...
