I hope you enjoy it. First: a housekeeping note: We're having some weird issues with comments on the site today; some of them are disappearing into the ether \[well, not the ether; I can see them in the backend, so they still exist, but they're getting lost on the way to the site\]. We are working on it! So if your comments do not show up for some reason, it's not personal and we know! We're on it! Thrilled to see that [*The Heir Affair* ](https://www.amazon.com/Heir-Affair-Royal-We-Book-ebook/dp/B07YSNBRV7/ref=tmm%5Fkin%5Fswatch%5F0?%5Fencoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)is on[ The AV Club's August reading list!](https://aux.avclub.com/what-are-you-reading-in-august-1844712529?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) We picked [some good beauty options from the Nordstrom sale](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/the-nordstrom-anniversary-sale-kicks-off-for-everyone-today-08-2020/), which is finally open to everyone.

If I didn't, I definitely read it and it was one of those pieces that truly stayed with me. If you didn't read it then, read it now -- it's so well done. (The author of the piece also has a stutter.) Some of you mentioned that you were obsessed with the Lost Colony of Roanoke as kids. Well! [‘The mystery is over’: Researchers say they know what happened to ‘Lost Colony’](https://www.pilotonline.com/news/vp-nw-not-lost-20200817-qgmblubzt5dyjm3jrcop25ssoq-story.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[The Virginian-Pilot\] I am EXCITED about [this Daniel Dae-Kim and Randall Park heist project](https://pubx.co/p3Gifc?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! \[Lainey\] This seems fun and useful, at Atlas Obscura: [How to Make Ice-Cream Cocktails Like a True Wisconsinite](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/how-to-make-ice-cream-cocktails?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is so good, at Eater:[ Anxiety in the Deep End: Drowning my worries of germy kitchen surfaces and ethical COVID-19 concerns in the blissful oasis of a vacation rental pool](https://www.eater.com/21349859/summer-travel-vacation-rental-alanna-bennett?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I liked this, at GQ: [Now Is a Great Time to Go Back to an Old iPod](https://www.gq.com/story/get-an-ipod?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Also at Lainey: [this is a lot of news about a VARIETY of Batmans](https://pubx.co/Ff1TlV?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
