Because we’ve always hated ‘80s Steve-holes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the souffle-haired, BMW 733i-driving, Nancy-charming asshole who possesses a Trump-sized empathy streak for sensitive weirdos, Steve was supposed to follow the ‘80s arc of dying a miserable death — or at least not getting the girl in the end while cuddled up next to her in a f*cking reindeer sweater at Christmastime. Earning the heart of the smart female protagonist is a resolution that for years has been reserved for the sensitive guy bullied by the high school elite, not the smug preppy dude with a backyard pool. (Not to mention a guy who, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/eastwes/status/756616898461179904\" target=\"_blank\">as one astute Twitter commenter noted\u003c/a>, is coiffed to look like “all of Crowded House combined in one face.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31674\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/giphy.gif\" alt=\"steve\" width=\"480\" height=\"239\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wanted the phlegm-flower monster to serve Steve a bloody eel sandwich so Nancy could cuddle with Jonathan. Steve’s demise is our expected reward after watching him heartily pressure Nancy to appease so many early-in-the-\u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>-season boners and then go on to break Jonathan’s camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why does Steve escape death while the \u003ca href=\"https://theringer.com/everyone-needs-a-friend-like-barb-a91b9937ba64?gi=dd2cf1e989bf\" target=\"_blank\">internet-beloved Barb \u003c/a>gets stuffed into an Upside Down coffin? The simple answer is the actor who plays Steve helped the character get a pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/stranger-things-finale-duffer-brothers-interview-season-2-1201816664/\" target=\"_blank\">interview with \u003cem>Variety\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> showrunners the Duffer Brothers said Steve, who in the original pilot is “the biggest douchebag on the planet,” wasn’t supposed to be Nancy’s snuggle buddy in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of credit goes to Joe Keery [who plays Steve], because he was much more likable and charming than we originally had envisioned,” said Ross Duffer. “Joe was so good we started to fall in love with the idea that he has an arc himself.” Nancy helped make Steve a slightly better person by the end. Dammit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Duffer added that in the typical movie world trajectory, Nancy (Natalia Dyer) would end up with the “nicer kinder gentler” guy Jonathan (Charlie Heaton). “But it felt almost more real to us that she would wind up back with Steve,” he said, “this heartthrob who she’s had a crush on for a long time. It’s surprising, but it felt more honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31676\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/stranger-things.1.1.2566000.65.gif\" alt=\"stranger-things.1.1.2566000.65\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you run the \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> tape backwards you can — almost — see how Steve could come out on top. After all, he erases the Nancy slut-shaming graffiti (that he helped write!) and he fights the bad monster. He worked hard to change, and Jonathan \u003cem>was\u003c/em> being a creeper by taking those photos of Nancy stripping in the first place, so maybe Jonathan deserved to lose those photo privileges. But ‘80s movie history has hardwired \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> fans to loathe Steve nonetheless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why can’t we forgive Steve just because he hit the monster with a nail bat? Because there’ve been too many Steve-holes before him. Our movie history —and an election cycle with another bratty, souffle-haired bully — has taught us that elitist dickwads rarely become good guys by the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As proof of this bias, I hereby give you a brief history of the ‘80s high school jerks who paved the way for our hatred of \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>’ Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steff in \u003cem>Pretty in Pink\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35tfXSINbCQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ‘80s, James Spader was the classic affluent douchebag fans loved to hate (and perhaps secretly crush out on). It all started with his breakout role as Steff in \u003cem>Pretty in Pink\u003c/em> — a movie where he calls Molly Ringwald’s artsy Andie a bitch, a mutant, trash, and “low-grade ass.” Steff is the perfect foil to blinky-eyed Blane (Andrew McCarthy), whose dick is caught in the typical ‘80s class divide (see also: Spader in \u003cem>Tuff Turf\u003c/em>) between what’s expected of him and what he really wants. Unlike Steve in \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>, Steff never redeems himself — he gets tackled by Andie’s BFF Duckie in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steff paved the way for Spader to graduate from high school prick to college-aged (but definitely not in college) drug dealer prick, Rip, in \u003cem>Less Than Zero\u003c/em>. Side note: Is it just me or did Spader seem to spend the ‘80s only acting in movies with either\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6gpndlepiM\" target=\"_blank\"> McCarthy or with Robert Downey Jr.\u003c/a>?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>All of William Zabka’s characters in the ‘80s asshole trilogy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qco4RGHhJGo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with James Spader, William Zabka was the other recognizable blonde ‘80s asshole. He’s perhaps best remembered for playing Johnny in the \u003cem>Karate Kid\u003c/em> series (\u003cem>Karate Kid II\u003c/em> was brilliantly parodied, starring Zabka and most of the original cast, in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olQ3vaiv47I\" target=\"_blank\">this music video\u003c/a> by the band No More Kings). But Zabka was a dick in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1egnKKkm54\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Just One of the Guys\u003c/em> too\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>You probably know Neil deGrasse Tyson as an astrophysicist with a seemingly endless stream of science fun facts at his command. You might not be aware that he is also a great oenophile and lover of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 16 years ago, before I was a journalist and illustrator, I worked with Neil at the American Museum of Natural History. He would sometimes carry around a small canvas tote bag. As I recall, the bag would contain one of two things: either a weighty, mango-sized meteorite to show to guests of the museum, or a bottle of wine to gift to a colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was pretty symbolic of his twin passions – the heavens, and wine. (By extension, that includes cuisine.) I recently talked with NdGT about how these all collide in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how general, broad knowledge of scientific concepts is useful in the kitchen ...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-The lower-than-32-degrees freezing point of liquids that contain alcohol, like wine, allows you to chill a bottle of white wine to sub-freezing temperatures without it freezing, before you bring it a dinner party. The wine warms up during the travel time to just the right temperature in time for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-When emptying water from a narrow-necked bottle after cleaning it, the water will exit the bottle about twice as fast if you swirl it, tornado style. Swirling water creates a path in its center for air to replace the water that's leaving the bottle. Without it, the water from an inverted bottle must glug its way out, taking turns with pulses of air that move in to replace the water that has left the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-If you take a pint of rock-solid ice cream from the freezer and put it in the refrigerator, the temperature difference between the ice cream and the surrounding air will be much less than if you put it on the counter. This slows down the rate at which the ice cream gets warmer, allowing the entire pint to change temperature at a uniform rate. After an hour or so, the ice cream is at a perfect temperature throughout. Whereas, had the pint been left on the counter, the edges get melty first while the center stays solid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On what aliens on other planets might eat ...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except for salt, everything we eat that has nutritional value was once alive, or was secreted by something that was alive. On the face of it, that's quite barbaric — we all kill living organisms for our nourishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ultimate source of all that energy is the Sun.

You might not be aware that he is also a great oenophile and lover of food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 16 years ago, before I was a journalist and illustrator, I worked with Neil at the American Museum of Natural History. He would sometimes carry around a small canvas tote bag. As I recall, the bag would contain one of two things: either a weighty, mango-sized meteorite to show to guests of the museum, or a bottle of wine to gift to a colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was pretty symbolic of his twin passions – the heavens, and wine. (By extension, that includes cuisine.) I recently talked with NdGT about how these all collide in the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how general, broad knowledge of scientific concepts is useful in the kitchen ...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-The lower-than-32-degrees freezing point of liquids that contain alcohol, like wine, allows you to chill a bottle of white wine to sub-freezing temperatures without it freezing, before you bring it a dinner party. The wine warms up during the travel time to just the right temperature in time for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Swirling water creates a path in its center for air to replace the water that's leaving the bottle. Without it, the water from an inverted bottle must glug its way out, taking turns with pulses of air that move in to replace the water that has left the bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-If you take a pint of rock-solid ice cream from the freezer and put it in the refrigerator, the temperature difference between the ice cream and the surrounding air will be much less than if you put it on the counter. This slows down the rate at which the ice cream gets warmer, allowing the entire pint to change temperature at a uniform rate. After an hour or so, the ice cream is at a perfect temperature throughout. Whereas, had the pint been left on the counter, the edges get melty first while the center stays solid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On what aliens on other planets might eat ...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except for salt, everything we eat that has nutritional value was once alive, or was secreted by something that was alive.
