I hope you have fun plans percolating -- or at least a restful couple of days ahead. You can tell it's almost summer because we had a post this week about[ everyone's favorite sunscreens](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-holy-grail-sunscreen-05-2026/), AND one about [everyone's favorite carry-on bags](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-carry-on-bags-05-2026/). At Drinks with Broads this week,[ we discussed *The Sheep Detectives* and an INSANE recipe](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/fresh-rivals-charming-sheep-detectives), plus Heather catches everyone up on[ where we left the folks on *Rivals* and I dug through the gift shops of the Newport mansions.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/crack-open-rivals-the-encyclopedia) Related: [5 Things I Always Put in My Suitcase](https://dcjnell.substack.com/p/5-things-i-always-put-in-my-suitcase) (not me personally, a variety of people). Also related -- [we were gifted these little bag charms you can use to hold an AirTag and they are EXTREMELY EXTREMELY CUTE in person](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58556520?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). They're spendy and this is a definite non-essential but if you're looking for a frivolous gift for someone with a big trip coming up this summer, they are truly adorable. (Having an AirTag in my luggage has been a game-changer for me, anxiety-wise, and also for that time my luggage ended up on a really REALLY random airport carousel.) A really interesting piece: [Will Zoe Kazan acknowledge her family’s legacy?](https://www.laineygossip.com/will-zoe-kazan-acknowledge-familys-legacy-through-remake-of-east-of-eden/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I didn't realize she was the person behind the new *East of Eden* adaptation. I will say that I think Florence Pugh may be amazing in that role, but I agree with this take that it will be VERY hard to top James Dean's performance in the original. Kristen Stewart is doing [an '80s vampire movie? This sounds fun.](https://www.laineygossip.com/kristen-stewart-wagner-moura-working-together-on-panos-cosmatos-vampire-thriller-flesh-of-the-gods-almost-too-good-to-be-true/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Fascinating: [Can Three Auction Houses Sell $2.6 Billion Worth of Art in One Week?](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/arts/design/art-auction-preview-billion-pollock-rothko.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.iVA.hPcB.Q-solEc-7XSv&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is wild: [Dua Lipa’s $15M Lawsuit Against Samsung Reveals Fans Bought TVs Just Because Her Face Was on the Box.](https://socialitelife.com/dua-lipas-15m-lawsuit-against-samsung-reveals-fans-bought-tvs-just-because-her-face-was-on-the-box/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Samsung didn't license the picture -- someone really dropped the ball, there! Interesting: [Why Spirit Airlines Failed While European Budget Carriers Thrive.](https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-financial-page/from-the-spirit-effect-to-the-spirit-dilemma?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#intcid=%5Fthe-new-yorker-homepage-bkt-a%5Fc24b86e3-7e69-4334-9680-c016ad5ada35%5Fcygnus-personalized) Ironically, someone I know taking a European carrier this summer had all their flights cancelled recently due to fuel issues, so "thrive" may not be correct for everyone. I laughed out loud at this headline: [Steelers, Longing For A Quiet Death, Willing To Wait For Aaron Rodgers](https://defector.com/steelers-longing-for-a-quiet-death-willing-to-wait-for-aaron-rodgers?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (It's Drew Magary, of course.) Who knew: [Ants as pets? Exotic African ants go for $220 on the black market](https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2026/05/15/exotic-ants-fetch-high-prices-on-black-market/90060548007/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I'm really interested to read the comments on [this post at Evil Witches about how folks organize their recipes](https://www.evilwitches.com/how-do-you-handle-your-recipes/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Mine are NOT. J.Crew is [kicking off their big Memorial Day sale early -- 40% off!](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58343853?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (There are A LOT of sales coming in the next week.) I love [this little shift ](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58344432?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)\-- all [dresses are 50% off](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58546240?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- and I'm [very tempted by these shorts](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58344694?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I got this shirt last summer [and I wear it ALL the time](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58344911?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). And I linked [this tote earlier in the week but I LOVE it.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58345075?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Meanwhile,[ J.Crew Factory has everything 50% off.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58546871?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This little [striped polo dress is so cute](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58547269?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I also LOVE[ Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam's place near Vancouver. The wallpaper!!!!](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/colbie-smulders-canadian-retreat?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's so good, it makes me like her more. (I didn't DISLIKE her but you know what I mean.) I've heard this![ ‘The Other Bennet Sister’ Is Fanfic Television Done Right.](https://www.pajiba.com/tv%5Freviews/the-other-bennet-sister-is-fanfic-television-done-right.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Have you watched? Heather is on trend: [This City Is One of Europe's Best-kept Secrets—with Sparkling Hotels, Fascinating Museums, and a Rich Sense of History](https://www.travelandleisure.com/budapest-11940672?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Who would have thunk:[ TikTok Has Discovered Tae Bo, the Beloved ’90s Workout.](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/well/move/tae-bo-workout-tiktok.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.iVA.sYEe.mc-ktf9-YFjh&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Good for Billy Blanks!! At the Ringer:[ David Attenborough and the Voice That Revealed a Planet](https://www.theringer.com/2026/05/04/tv/david-attenborough-voice-nature-earth-100-years?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Old Navy is [also having a huge sale,](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58345876?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) including [these linen pants I really like](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58345996?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and a lot of other reasonable summer basics. The 90s are SO BACK, [if this dress is any indication](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58382791?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I'm [tempted by this linen shift.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58383343?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) And I[ sincerely might buy this cardigan.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58383416?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Do you want to read[ a wholesome cat rescue story?](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/1td5abq/kittens%5Fin%5Fstorm%5Fdrain%5Fsuccessfully%5Frescued/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) So interesting: [The True Story of “the Wickedest Town in Texas”](https://www.texasmonthly.com/culture/boomtown-borger-wickedest-town-in-texas/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Good question: [Why are we so obsessed with murals?](https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/article/why-are-we-so-obsessed-with-murals?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's true: [Why Ralph Lauren's Iconic American Flag Sweater Has Stood the Test of Time](https://www.instyle.com/american-flag-sweater-history-ralph-lauren-catwalk-book-11970661?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I love a list: [We Asked 'Marie Claire' Readers to Vote on Their Favorite Beauty Products—These 57 Came Out on Top](https://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/marie-claire-readers-choice-awards-2026/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Good to know: [The World Cup Halftime Show Is Filled With Superstars.](https://www.vulture.com/article/fifa-world-cup-halftime-show-lineup.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Hopefully the rest of the World Cup won't be a total shitshow!! Salon wonders: [Have we forgotten how to have a good time?](https://www.salon.com/2026/05/11/have-we-forgotten-how-to-have-a-good-time/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Probably. PSA: QVC has[ marked down a ton of Elemis](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58543096?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), if you need to stock up. (They also have $10 off purchases of $25 or more with code WELCOME10.) I love [these resurfacing pads](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58543876?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) and [the pro-collagen line.](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58544448?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I want to try their eye patches and the $10 off is useful [because those masks are spendy](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58544913?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). QVC is actually [a great source for eye patches](https://go.shopmy.us/p-58545271?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- they have A TON of them. Presumably because the QVC demo is, like me, middle-aged and rapidly alarmed by their under-eye area. *Photo by Fine Art Images/Heritage Images via Getty Images.
