2 Minutes read

After losing interest in Riverdale in the middle of the first season, and after learning about the wild, incest-filled ending, I’ve long since come to the conclusion that Riverdale wasn’t the show for me.

Hugh Hefner, the founder of the long-running Playboy Magazine empire, has died at age 91. I haz a sad.
