I dedicate this to all the ‘Racist Sexist Boys’ out there, because Lord knows there are plenty of them.

It’s Friday, and instead of a cute animal, I present The Linda Lindas’ performance of “Racist Sexist Boys.” The Linda Lindas is an all-girl punk band from Los Angeles: Mila (10), Eloise (13), Lucia (14), and Bela (16). They performed in the Netflix Riot Grrrls film, Moxie (based on Houstonian Jennifer Mathieu’s book) and have opened for Bikini Kill, and they FUCKING ROCK.

Also, I’m not saying that “Racist, Sexist Boys” was about him because not everything is about him, but Former President Obama probably wouldn’t argue if you said it was about Former President Dingus.

Speaking of, that piece of shit’s Department of Justice had obtained the cell phone and email records of CNN’s Pentagon reporter, Barbara Starr. They also seized the phone records of some Washington Post reporters who were covering the Russia investigation and tried to demask an anonymous Twitter user who mocked Devin Nunes. This is legitimately a terrifying abuse of power.

The AP fired a reporter, Emily Wilder who was on the local Arizona news beat after the Stanford College Republicans created a Twitter thread of her old social media posts from college in which she criticized Israel. Because the right sure loves to scream about “cancel culture” when a comedian is criticized for being racist or sexist and then turn around and actually cancel people from their jobs for disagreeing with them.

More on the Martin Bashir/Princess Diana story. The BBC is now facing governance reforms:

And Prince William issued a statement saying in part, “The BBC’s failures contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia, and isolation that I remember from those final years with her,” and calling for the interview to never be aired again.

Here’s a scene from Supernatural that you’ve never seen before — and two more can be found at this link:

Listen, Law & Order: SVU is absolutely not appropriate viewing for 11-year-olds. That said, had this girl not been watching a show that is wholly inappropriate for her age, this story could have turned out much differently, so … yay? for letting your 6th grader watch shows about sexually violent crimes?

Loki will be consuming your life in a matter of weeks. Here Tom Hiddleston walks you through everything Loki has done in the MCU … in 30 seconds.

Will you people please let David Boreanaz curse on-screen?

Wait, there’s an alternate universe in which Jenny Lewis was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I hate it here.

Hello, fellow Gen Xers and Millenials. Are you confused by this whole Olivia Rodrigo/”Driver’s License”/High School Musical story? Because if so, Vanity Fair is here to clear it up.

CBS This Morning is moving into the Viacom building in Times Square, the same one where MTV TRL used to film and disrupt my workday with the screaming every. God. damn. afternoon.

Someone needs to make sure Jeff Lowe never has access to big cats again.

This is super cool. (But do you think the judges had any idea this is Hannibal fan art?)

ATX is adding more shows to its lineup, including Kevin Can F*** Himself, Central Park, and The Good Fight.

Prodigal Son won’t be given a second life at HBO Max.

This is delicious, who needs context?

See, Mike’s truck was a metaphor for the show itself in the Last Man Standing series finale. Deep.
