We're early into the New Year, and it is weirdly warm in Saint Louis for January. That isn't a complaint so much as an observation, however. Let's ring in this first full week of 2026 with an assortment of news and links.
One of my favorite trashy reality shows, "1,000 Pound Sisters," has its season premiere tonight. They both have lost a lot of weight, but they and their family are still a mess, so I'm ready to tune in. Plus, "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City," has a new edition today too, and that has been a wildly enjoyable trainwreck this season, as always.
On this day 5 years ago, a bunch of morons who claimed to be patriots but who were actually traitors went and raided our Nation's Capitol under the (false) belief that Donald Trump should have won the 2020 election (as he always lies about). Now that Trump has managed to seize power again, he and his cronies have continued to try to recontextualize the day as no big deal. It was a dark day in history, however, and should be remembered as such.
Well-known golfer and all-around interesting individual, John Daly, would generally hang out at a nearby Hooters restaurant anytime he played the Master's Tournament. His favorite spot shut down due to money issues for the brand, but he has found a new place to relax for the week this April, Top Dawg Tavern. Never fear, John Daly will always find a place to get a drink between playing some golf.
Serving as further evidence that DC's Absolute line is massively popular with anything, "Absolute Batman," selling like hotcakes, a new special issue about, "Ark-M," isn't even officially out until tomorrow and people are already paying a lot on the secondary market in the hopes of getting a copy in case stores run out super fast.
If, "Grand Theft Auto VI," does release in November of 2026 and isn't delayed yet again, how big an impact could it have on the holiday release schedule for video-games? It isn't a question of if it will wreak utter havoc for any competitors trying to release a game; the question is how much mayhem will there be?
Finally, a trailer dropped for the new, "Robin Hood," movie that imagines if the hero were actually kind of a jerk. This is funny to see because I was just saying how there is a new trend of movies imagining villains weren't that bad (Cinderella's sisters and Gaston have flicks coming), but we ought to do something with a hero secretly being unpleasant!
