Bill O’Reilly thought he was cute with this tweet yesterday:
But bless his heart, he didn’t know who he was up against:
I mean, honestly, if you are a public figure that has been accused of sexual harassment recently, maybe now is not the time to be talking any shit about other people.
Heads up: Jeff Sessions won’t rule out arresting journalists.
Oh, God, shut the fuck up, Ted Cruz. You’re just embarrassing all of us, Ted Cruz.
The Good Doctor has more viewers than The Big Bang Theory? What? And yet, The Big Bang Theory still has a higher rating because the Nielsen’s hates the olds.
This season’s Walking Dead‘s premiere episode will be the series’ 100th, and they plan on paying homage by “nodding to little things here and there” i.e. easter eggs, so be paying attention.
How many easter eggs will we find when Game of Thrones finally ends?
Here’s the Saturday Night Live sketch cut for time this week. A few thoughts:
While in a general sense they are poking fun of self-important celebrities who attach themselves to issues to make themselves look more intelligent or charitable, the bit is clearly and specifically making fun of CW actor (and one-time Boone) Ian Somerhalder. But here’s the thing, Somerhalder has long been a climate advocate and started his own foundation in no small part because he is from Louisiana and knows well the damage done to his home state by environmental disasters, specifically the BP spill. So, fuck the fuck off, Saturday Night Live? You can fuck the fuck right off?
Vince Staples wants to be involved in American Horror Story, and they should let him because he could only improve it. (And an African-American Horror Story is a TERRIFIC idea.)
Oh my God, Levar Burton wasn’t legally allowed to use the phrase “but you don’t have to take my word for it,” until now.
Fascinating: 30 Rock removed a Chris Brown reference from a season three episode and quietly replaced it with Ne-Yo. Apparently it happened a while back?
More Harassment Fall Out:
Twitter says it’s going to look into changing its policies to target violence and sexual harassment. Which, OK, fine. But what took you assholes so long?
Jeffrey Katzenberg says he’s sorry for saying that terrible thing he says he doesn’t remember saying about Molly Ringwald.
Channing Tatum is pulling a sexual abuse film from The Weinstein Company, and Harvard has revoked the W.E.B. Du Bois award they gave Harvey Weinstein in 2014
God dammit, Nicholas Brendon, pull it together.
