Evidence has come back that an enigmatic, super-clever suspect has the blood of three different people on his clothing, raising questions about his classification as a mass murderer.
My generation's social lives revolved around drinking too much, but I'm glad it's not like that any more When I was growing up in the early 1990s, I counted down the days to turning 18 so that I could drink in the local hotspot - The Meeting Place.
It's like a hug in fabric form, and everyone has that one hoodie that they wear like a comforting shroud when weary, or worn out, or just slowly dying of a hangover. Wearing them out and about means you hide from the world by simply pulling up the hood and disappearing into the darkness within. They are a shield that protects you from the world, keeping you warm and unidentifiable on CCTV should you have a need for that kind of thing.
Looking back, it's hard not to feel nostalgic about some of the childhood staples that defined these years. So Redditor u/kammikazzie asked, "90's kids - what did your mom make for dinner growing up that you haven't had in ages? What isn't a common dinner any more?" 1. "Shake and bake pork chops. It was a staple in our dinner rotation."
From Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to the Wahlburgers chain, it's easy to assume that a boldface name attached to a restaurant equals instant success. Whether a restaurant boasts its celebrity owner on its sign or it's one of the many bars where VIPs are quieter investors, surely there's a certain momentum celebrities bring to their hospitality ventures, right?

What do you see when you hear the word "Chicago"? In the popular imagination, it's probably the skyline, skyscrapers with antennas forking into the clouds. Zoom in and you might focus on heavy and wet food like salad-loaded hot dogs, oily Italian beef sandwiches, and deep dish pizza. Think back and you'll conjure Michael Jordan with his tongue out, Harry Caray's blocky bifocals, or maybe George Wendt saying "Da Bears."
The 1990s were the decade that gave us boy bands, Pokémon, and an unreasonable fear of the coming millennium, but it was also the defining age of novelty gadgets. Long before smart small kitchen appliances started filling our homes, countertops and cabinets were brightened up by multi-functional tools designed to save time, remove fat, and part you from your hard-earned cash. The late-night infomercial prompted millions of amateur cooks to purchase items that claimed to make their culinary lives easier and their food so much better.
"The '80s and '90s felt like a bit of a lawless land for parents. We were told to sit back from the TV lest we ruin our eyes, but it’s rare to find a kid from that era who didn’t watch something incredibly inappropriate, either with their parents or on their own."
Rather than the minimalism that's regularly embraced in the 21st century, the 1990s hinged on a sense of warmth and coziness. The warm-walled '90s color scheme provides a great retreat from cold, harsh colors.
"I had been complaining about action shows since I was a kid... Both anime shows and also American shows would have 20 minutes of talking and then two minutes of great action. They didn't give me enough, I wanted more."
"We decided we wanted a couple of days off... We were losing our minds. But all I had was people shouting through the letterbox at me for three days."
