It was a nice couple of months without her, but I regret to inform you Meghan McCain is back and demanding attention again.

I don’t know what is happening here but I love it.

H’oh boy, Meghan McCain has a new book coming out, and the chapter on why she left The View was published in Variety today. You’ll be shocked to hear this but she claims she left because of the “toxic workplace” and that Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were mean to her. There is absolutely no recognition on her part that she contributed to that toxic environment by being bratty and disrespectful and entitled. But you knew that already.

(And don’t get me started on how she only decided to give a shit about paid maternity leave after she had a baby. and doesn’t seem to understand that the reason the party she so proudly belongs to is opposed to giving working women support is because THEY ARE OPPOSED TO WOMEN WORKING. It’s actually everything wrong with Meghan McCain: nothing matters until it applies to her, and she either is ignorant of her party’s actual platform and beliefs, or she chooses to ignore them. I hate this ride, let me off.)

This show is trash, but apparently people love them some trash, so what do I know?

Oh my God, do not let your 6-year-olds watch Squid Game, what is wrong with you people?

Generation X and younger are more likely to subscribe to a streaming service to watch a particular program, cancel it after, and then resubscribe later — a phenomenon known as “churn and return” — than older generations who are lucky to remember if they subscribed to a streamer in the first place.

Hey, here’s another deeply depressing and upsetting report from Jordan Klepper. Pray for this country.

Congratulations to Sarah Snook on her secret pandemic wedding!

Get better soon, Dick Vitale.

#MeToo

Actress Lili Bernard has sued Bill Cosby for $225 million for drugging and raping her on multiple occasions. Good. I hope he spends the remainder of his days in court.

Meghan McCain isn’t the only one shopping a memoir: Katie Couric is about to be on the book tour, and she had to clarify after excerpts of the book leaked that she and Matt Lauer no longer speak and that she was shocked and appalled by his behavior when she learned about it. Apparently, Page Six ran with some stories that she initially supported Lauer when the allegations first broke.

An actress, Raeden Greer, has accused director Cary Joji Fukunaga of firing her after she refused to do a topless scene in True Detective, despite the fact that she didn’t have nudity in her rider.

Flavor Flav has been arrested for misdemeanor domestic abuse.

Rapper Tyga was arrested for felony domestic violence.

Facebook says that they will start banning “severe sexualizing content” that targets celebrities and public figures.

WarnerMedia has seen some modest growth in the representation of women and people of color both in front of and behind the camera. (More in behind-the-camera roles, for what it’s worth.)

The BBC is overhauling its guidelines for dealing with sexual harassment and bullying. Better late than never.
