A few noteworthy things happened this week. One, Rudy Giuliani resigned from his law firm to, uh, focus on representing the president. Two, Grimes and Elon Musk announced that they are dating. Congrats Grimes and Elon Musk! Three, I guess a bunch of telecom and pharmaceutical companies and also Russian billionaires have been bribing the president, or at least bribing his lawyer, who knows. Nuts! Four, a whole mess of TV shows got cancelled, and then one of them got rescued, and also Adult Swim ordered seventy more episodes of Rick and Morty, yikes! Okay, I think that about covers it, please enjoy the tweets:

interesting, i’m seeing here that a clause of the 70-episode renewal is that nobody online is ever allowed to talk about Rick and Morty ever again! we can just watch it and silently enjoy it by ourselves! nuts https://t.co/7bVjSNACUX

when I was an undergraduate creative writing major, I once wrote a short story where the characters used “hepcat” jazz vernacular, and it’s been quite the challenge having to kill everyone who read it

(waking up)
ME: Am I dead?
ANGEL: Not yet. You’re here in limbo because you still have unfinished business on earth and you must resolve it before you depart to the afterlife.
(I slowly raise my head)
ME (solemnly): Of course. Seasons 4-8 of Dexter.— Michelle Spies (@spies_please) May 9, 2018

I am convinced the (very good) photographer assigned to Bari Weiss’ latest piece is savagely mocking her absurd thesis by depicting her subjects hiding in the bushes from Twitter criticism pic.twitter.com/964qfkeox7
