Welcome to another edition ofRolling Stones Everything Index, our midweek rankings of pop-cultures power players and purveyors of fake news.
Were not gonna lie; today is a bit of a bummer. Not only are we facing a future without Jon Stewart (and a weekend of Facebook posts aboutFifty Shades of Grey), but were forced to feign interest in Kanye Wests latest tantrum while avoiding robot servants that want to kill us. Sometimes this shit aint easy.
So before our Keurig machine turns on us, lets get to our midweek hit list: the good, the bad and Everything in between. Its time to do some Indexing.
1. Jon Stewart Leaving The Daily Show: National treasure announces hes ending his triumphant run after nearly two decades. Craig Kilborn releases statement thanking Stewart for keeping my chair warm.
The Everything Index: Katy Perry and Taylor Swift's Bikini BeefKiss' Top 10 Albums RankedThurston Moore: 5 Songs That Influenced Me Early On
2. KanyeBeckGate: Irate Kanye kinda storms the Grammy stage after Beck beats Beyonc for Album of the Year, launches into post-show tirade about artistry. Jesus, do we really have to do this again?
3. Brian Williams: NBC News puts B.Will on ice for six months (without pay) following admission he embellished his role in a helicopter incident during the Iraq War. Cut him some slack; his daughter starred in Peter Pan Live! the fiery crashes start to blend together after a while.
4. Spider-Man Comes to Marvel: Sony and Marvel Studios announce that the web slinger will finally become a part of the comic book giants cinematic universe. Imagine the merchandising potential!
5. Father John Mistys I Love You, Honeybear: The artist formerly known as J. Tillman falls in love, gets married, makes the best album of 2015. And were not just saying that because he once wrote an Everything Index for us. Sarcastic, self-effacing and sanguine, Honeybear is full of music for fatalists to fall in love to.

7. Robot Vacuum Attacks! Napping Korean woman is mauled by bloodthirsty cleaning machine. This is just the beginning, people.
8. The End of the Big Bang Theory: New quantum equation posits that the universe has actually existed forever, kind of like the show. Bazinga!
