30 Rock 2025 would be funny. Can we do a plot with Jack deciding to back The Bulwark?

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes?
SWIFT: What rhymes with "thighs"?
KELCE: Hmm. "Belies," perhaps?

They’re fine. Cherry Wheat is very nostalgic if you miss the late 90s/early 00s brewpub and regional brewery wave.

Diana and all of @defector.com are doing great work that merits your support if you can spare it. It’s a place that speaks truth to power and still appreciates a good dad joke in the comments, but containing multitudes isn’t cheap.
