@cleolonglegs abby is in all of us
Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Jon Stewart is sticking around for a while.
Zomg, the Abbott Elementary/It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia crossover will be two episodes: they will be literally trading places: one episode will be on Abbott, one on Sunny. (And you know what else takes place in Philadelphia? TRADING PLACES. 🤯) The only downside is that we won’t get the Sunny episode until it returns sometime in 2025. (Although, doing the math, we might not get the Abbott episode until 2025, either. It’s going to be episode 409, and looking at the schedule, it will be tight to get that to air before January. Stay tuned.)
You’ll soon be able to share your favorite scenes from Netflix shows. Just don’t try to share your password.
They are already threatening us with more Batman spinoff series.
Avoid the Cha-cha on Dancing With the Stars AT ALL COST.
This sweet Parks and Recreation surprise reunion left Jenny Slate in tears.
Even Seth Meyers can be a jerk.
Bowen Yang didn’t want to play JD Vance until he learned that Vance questioned his sexuality as a child but was told by his grandmother that he wasn’t gay (which honestly, is a crazy story that I’m shocked has not received more play).
Chloe Troast has some feelings about being fired from SNL. (She was really good, I’m still shocked they canned her.)
These are the shows currently trending on the streamers.
When my husband and I were in New York City a couple of weeks ago, in addition to the flyer encouraging people to come watch a guy put the last piece of a puzzle in, we spotted a flyer advertising a Timothee Chalamet lookalike contest, which my husband took a picture of to send to our kids, laughing that he was going to enter it.

(Note: my husband looks nothing like Timothee Chalamet. Other than being a white man, he could not look less like Timothee Chalamet.) Anyway, the contest happened, and Timothee Chalamet took it to another level:

Some political news as we enter the final week of the election and I eat all the Tums:
First some news clips:
Sassy Jake Tapper is my favorite Jake Tapper:
Tapper: Let’s show an example of Harris doing exactly what McConnell and Johnson are taking issue with.

I’m trying to stay positive, you guys, and this weekend gave me some hope.
First, Former President Windmills Cause Cancer went on Joe Rogan’s show where he talked about wanting to be a “whale psychiatrist.”
Post by @kamalahqView on Threads
Rogan himself noted that he had to steer Former President Cognitive Test back on topic a number of times, but was impressed that he didn’t take a bathroom break for the entire three hours. Joe. He wears a diaper.

On Saturday, Michelle Obama delivered a powerhouse speech in Michigan, reminding our men that health care laws for women have an impact on their lives, too.
And then on Sunday, Former President Whale Psychiatrist held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City for shits and giggles. There, he was preceded on stage by a number of speakers who called Puerto Rico “garbage,” made jokes about Black people and watermelons, mocked Palestinians, made crude sexual comments about Latinos in general, “joked” about Travis Kelce killing Taylor Swift, called Democrats “Jew-haters,” said they need to “slaughter this other people” (meaning Democrats), called Vice President a “devil,” and said she had “pimp handlers,” repeated Ku Klux Klan slogans, and described Harris as a”Samoan-Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor.” The campaign has distanced itself from the Puerto Rico comments, but none of the others.
“We gotta get the congressmen elected and we gotta get the senators elected, because we can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we’re going to do really well with the House, right? Our little secret is having a big impact,” Trump said while looking in Johnson’s direction.
Appearing to point at the House speaker, the former president added, “He and I have a secret. We’ll tell you what it is when the race is over.”

Please. For the sake of my stomach lining, please vote. And vote all the way down the ticket — we have to flip the House and keep the Senate if we have any chance against this fuckery. November 1st is the last day of early voting here in Texas, please take advantage of it.
