The supply chain has at least produced a surplus of Eric Clapton photos

Between good and evil is purgatory, where unjudged souls loiter because the supply chain has delayed everything a few weeks and frankly, we just don’t know what to do with ourselves. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Between good and evil is purgatory, where unjudged souls loiter because the supply chain has delayed everything a few weeks and frankly, we just don’t know what to do with ourselves. At the very least peep some photos of the horrible Eric Clapton looking like a dying eel, or let your crush see the little wiggle of Shrek’s ogre ear in the corner of your extremely cropped catfish photo, leading him to wonder, “Did she get a boyfriend? Is that the one with the accent?”

Looking for a Husband? Try Shrekfishing

Transform from a swamp-dwelling monster into a beautiful princess

Facetuning yourself for the benefit of hot people online is tricky. If you make your eyes too big or your nose too narrow in a sad bid to look like Ariana Grande, your followers are going to know you’re faking it immediately. You need a gentle touch and an expert eye, which not many of us have.

Luckily, I’ve found a filter that does all the work for you, and it does it perfectly every time. And today, I’m revealing my little secret exclusively for the first time.

Things You Can Blame on the Broken Supply Chain

By Jenny G. Zhang

Global shortages make for a great excuse

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, there are supply chain issues. There are myriad reasons why: the pandemic, labor shortages, energy woes, a lack of shipping containers, port congestion, weather disasters, rising costs of materials, a scarcity of goods used to make other goods, and so on and so forth.

But while supply chain problems may spell catastrophe — or at least inconvenience — in many sectors, including holiday retail, we here at Gawker prefer to look on the bright side. When one door closes (because it belongs to a store that has closed since nothing is in stock and also all the staff quit because the owner is an exploitative piece of shit), another opens. Put another way, you can spin this unfortunate global supply chain thing into a convenient scapegoat for basically any courtesy or responsibility you’re looking to shirk in your life. Here are just a few to get you started:

Where Are the ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Candles?

By Kelly Conaboy

A timeline, and a demand.

This season of The Real Housewives of Potomac is fraught with controversy. Most recently, Mia’s husband was being weird. Otherwise, Candiace has been mean about the relative largeness of certain foreheads and feet, and the supposed wide-bodiness of at least one postpartum ass. Gizelle’s foot is hurt, and Robyn is having a hard time meeting consumer demand for her hats.

But in all the shadiness, there are two bright lights. They are the first-ever candles from recently crowned home goods purveyors Karen Huger and Wendy Osefo, and I need to know where they are — immediately.

Everyone Come Collect Their Grandfathers Please

Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and Paul McCartney are all on one right now

People love to tell you to listen to your elders, but what about when your elders are out here saying absolutely wild shit to reputable media outlets? The surviving members of the British Invasion are being messy, despite the fact that they are all in their late seventies.

Recently, Keith Richards talked to the LA Times and talked about retiring the classic problematic slavery jam “Brown Sugar” from the Rolling Stones’ set list. “I’m trying to figure out with the sisters quite where the beef is. Didn’t they understand this was a song about the horrors of slavery? But they’re trying to bury it. At the moment I don’t want to get into conflicts with all of this shit,” he said.

Shocking Upset in Hollywood's Most Despised Boss Awards

By Richard Rushfield

First off, the huge news; a hearty congratulations is due to one Randall Emmett of Family Room Entertainment (pictured above.) Least Liked is the category in which the true giants of Hollywood compete — Geffen, Weinstein, Rudin, Berg, Emmanuel, Ovitz. To see the name of one of the pillars of the industry who has literally built an empire on abusive, infantile behavior atop a Least Liked List would almost be anticlimactic. For an unknown dark horse from a no-profile company to not just win, but win but such a resounding margin (23 votes between him and the #2 finisher) is an enormous accomplishment, worthy of a young David O. Selznick or Robert Evans.

We attempted to find out everything we could about this new giant on the scene of egomania. Here's what we've learned:
