Poplar Bluff, Missouri, Mid-Continent’s home, is a sprawling town of seventeen thousand on the eastern edge of the Ozarks, a two-and-a-half-hour drive south of St. Louis. It’s a quiet place and notably conservative.

As a freshman in high school, in the year of our lord 2002, I made a website called “Jason’s Site.” While a website named after myself and devoted to updates about my own life was unspeakably vain for the time, it was also quite forward looking: The site has a news feed, an “about me” page, and an email mailing list for people to receive updates.

Michael Wolff told all, Stormy Daniels revealed all, Bob Woodward dug deeper. And some books weren’t about Trump. A review of books on US politics published this year requires more than the usual blowing of intellectual dust from volumes already seeming outdated.

For those who hold hip-hop history close to their heart, a throwback picture is always appreciated. We previously saw Irv Gotti harken back to a time where he rolled alongside DMX and Jay-Z, triggering feelings of nostalgia in golden era aficionados. Though the aforementioned trifecta largely rose to prominence in the late nineties, another trifecta was dominating the scene in 1996. The legendary Snoop Dogg recently shared a photo of himself, MC Hammer, and the legendary Tupac Shakur, dressed t...

CIRP says its data shows that early iPhone XS sales were strong, and were split evenly between the XS and XS Max.
