All week long, we cowered in an underground nook like Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lannister, emerging only to watch Bill Barr to run roughshod over the rule of law. Meanwhile, Barbara Corcoran threw herself a funeral, a Belgian water company created dinnerware to shame people who attempt to Instagram their food, a Taiwanese company is selling bib hammocks for Instagram aversion therapy, and people are renting parking spots in San Francisco because they can’t afford coworking spaces. Also on the docket: the backstory on Russian spy whales, military dolphins and drug dealer parrots; Spotify playlists that go too far; vile earbuds and a stain expert who was stumped by a 17-year-old with mysterious secretions.
