Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
30 Rock had a moment on Twitter this weekend. GOOD. DEAL WITH IT, ZOOMERS.
My favorite 30 Rock joke changes hourly but right now it’s when injured Elaine Stritch is ringing a bell and Jack rushes in and says “what is it mother??” and she goes “I need my other bell.”

“It does feel like quite a landmark moment, and it feels really special to have it kind of the 60th, as well, and to see how far the show has come. It’s always been an incredible, amazing show that we’ve always known and loved, but to see how it’s come along is really special because Doctor Who is, at its core, it’s a show about change. It’s a show about progress. It’s a show about looking forward to the future, embracing the new, which is great and beautiful, but it’s also a show that has existed for the amount of time that it’s existed and therefore it can act as a bit of a mirror, a bit of a reflection to Britain and to society, and to what is happening in the world. I believe, truly, that we were always gonna get to this point.”
Succession props will be up for auction soon, for all my serious people.

Gross, Emmanuel Macron. This is literally why #MeToo exists because men like Macron go out of their way to defend fucking rapists.
