American Eagle launched a new ad campaign starring Sydney Sweeney, which is smart. She is one of the hottest actors of the moment, and people generally like looking at her. What isn’t so smart is saying a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman has “great jeans” while also having her reference the purity of her ancestral bloodline. So you can see where things went south real quick, and why both Sweeney and American Eagle have been radio silent all day. (NBC News)

Bjornsnipe first pulled The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien off her mother’s bookshelf when she was 5, and it shaped her as a person. “And Bilbo as a main character is exactly how I would probably be if I had to go on an adventure: miserable at first, exasperated at every turn…and then begrudgingly, and very much against his will, actually taking a shine to the entire thing.” Which books have you imprinted on?
