It has, once again, been a....truly wild week to be alive in the world -- I hope yours was as good as it could be. (And your computer systems are working??) At Drinks With Broads, we covered a lot of ground! [We have a fresh recap of *The Bear* for you. ](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-bear-takes-one-tiny-step-forward) We looked at [Bennifer's house, currently for sale, and talked about prequels](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/what-prequels-do-we-actually-need). We also watched [*A Family Affair* and *The Idea of You*, and discovered that you can retire AND get married at Taco Bell, plus found a very notable villa and recommend some new Pringles.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/taco-bell-reaches-for-new-heights) Here at GFY, [we said goodbye to Shannen Doherty](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/r-i-p-shannen-doherty-an-absolute-icon-and-warrior-07-2024/). On a lighter note,[ I also rounded up some good stuff from the Nordstrom sale](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-the-nordstrom-sale-07-2024/), and we [chatted about ambitious meals](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-the-most-ambitious-thing-youve-ever-cooked-07-2024/) AND what[ you're recommending to everyone now!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-who-should-be-paying-you-for-pr-right-now-07-2024/) Elsewhere: Lainey brings you a lot of[ Manny Jacinto news and info and also cheekbones and smartness](https://www.laineygossip.com/manny-jacinto-gets-real-about-lack-of-opportunities-available-to-him-as-asian-man-hollywood-gq-interview-the-acolyte/78577?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I also [really liked Lainey's piece about Shannen Doherty.](https://www.laineygossip.com/how-bad-bitch-shannen-doherty-was-ahead-of-her-time-as-young-star-on-beverly-hills-90210/78549?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [RIP, Bob Newhart!](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bob-newhart-dead-sitcom-legend-1235952438/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) He had a truly great run. I also was literally just talking about *The Bob Newhart Show* yesterday -- it holds up! (It's streaming on Prime) \[Variety\] Love this: [100 of the Greatest Posters of Celebrities Urging You to Read.](https://lithub.com/100-of-the-greatest-posters-of-celebrities-urging-you-to-read/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[LitHub\] At the LA Times: [I spent 4 hours and 20 minutes in the state fair’s new weed lounge.

This is an interesting and sobering piece at The Cut about breast cancer screening, and [how the MRI is useful (and should perhaps be the gold standard) if you have dense breasts](https://www.thecut.com/article/breast-cancer-mammograms-early-detection-screenings.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). This is timely -- I have dense breasts (or did, as of my last mammogram they're not officially dense anymore? Apparently you can de-dense with age) and a family history, and just scheduled my own annual screening MRI. (As a warning, if you have health anxiety, this will not help.) SO interesting: [Keeping the Lights on at the Met Museum Is an Art in Itself.](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/arts/design/metropolitan-art-museum-lighting.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.8E0.YChl.YQiW0WkUpMdU&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[NYT, gifted link\] Also fun at the NYT:[ Readers Pick Their 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/books/reader-best-books-21st-century.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.8E0.bOCH.qKY9m3LiYIOM&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I'd read 18 on the other list; I've read 25 of these. As I said on Instagram last week, they should let you count the ones you've *bought* if not technically *read.* \[gifted link\] Do I need these pants? [I love a sailor pant.](https://rstyle.me/+XQnIb4ph4Sce5bGbNl2kCQ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[J.Crew, affiliate link\] Do you need to see Gwar sing ["I'm Just GWAR"?](https://www.avclub.com/av-undercover-season-9-gwar-im-just-ken-video-barbie-1851595852?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[AV Club\] Important journalism at The Ringer: [The Complete History of Guys Getting Their Junk Destroyed in Horror Movies](https://www.theringer.com/movies/2024/7/10/24194858/the-complete-history-of-guys-getting-their-junk-destroyed-in-horror-movies?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) At Smithsonian: [The Real Story Behind the Baltimore Deaths That Inspired ‘Lady in the Lake’](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-real-story-behind-the-baltimore-deaths-that-inspired-lady-in-the-lake-180984701/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) *UK House and Garden* is honestly just the greatest.
