GRAMMY PICKS FROM PANDORA’S BOX

Ready for more Grammy handicapping? Of course you are. Pandora has put together a few predictions of winners in major categories, based on user activity.

• Record of the Year: The Weeknd, “Can’t Feel My Face”

Speaking of mysterious boxes, the members of the anti-government militia who’ve taken over a frozen, stinking, abandoned wildlife refuge in Oregon—because, um, America!—are complaining that their online appeals for supplies have led to many, many people mailing them “care packages” containing dildos. They would like you to please stop sending dildos to them c/o Jon Ritzheimer, Burns, OR 97720.
