If it seems like the King takes a long time to flip your burgers when you’re sitting in the drive-through, you’re right.
According to a study commissioned by QSR magazine (that’s shorthand for “quick-service restaurants,” by the way), it takes 201.33 sec. — about 3 min. 20 sec. — on average to emerge from a Burger King drive-through.
Australian actress and CW star Caitlin Stasey recently launched a website, Herself.com (NSFW), featuring interviews with ordinary women (aka non-celebs) about topics like masturbation, pornography, reproductive rights, sexual identity and the female body. The site is the latest addition to the ongoing conversation about women and the media, which in recent years has stretched from the #freethenipple campaign (which advocates women’s right to go topless in public) to Dove’s “Real Beauty” advertisements to Beyonce’s 2014 VMA performance.
In most companies, massive reorganization, a complete change of direction and a tough new boss at the top almost invariably mean that a lot of people lose their jobs. In the past year, At lanta’s Scripto Inc., the world’s third largest maker of writing instruments (1964 sales: $25 million), has under gone all three changes — without the firing of a single key executive.

As much as fans will have to spend to attend the Feb. 11 Super Bowl, the game of football costs some professional players a vastly higher price, particularly when it comes to brain health. Researchers have found high rates of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)—a degenerative brain disease characterized by memory loss, confusion, mood swings, violence, suicidality and more—in autopsy studies of professional football players. CTE is caused by the head trauma and whole-body hits that are characteristic of the sport, which can lead to the dangerous buildup of certain proteins around blood vessels in the brain.
SPOILER ALERT: Before you read this post, get a crackling fire going and sit down to watch the season finale of Game of Thrones.
I’ve always resisted the shorthand that Game of Thrones is “fantasy Sopranos.” To me, the series has more in common tonally with a range of other HBO dramas–a mix of Deadwood, Rome, The Wire, even Carnivale–than the very ironic and modern Sopranos. But like that show, Game of Thrones has had a stellar first season that built and built and built.
Since the New York Times and The New Yorker first published allegations of sexual harassment and rape against Harvey Weinstein by Rose McGowan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Judd and dozens of others, the disgraced producer has been fired from his company. In May, Weinstein was arrested in New York on charges of rape, criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct related to interactions with two women.
