Things We Saw Today: The Internet Demands a Buddy Movie Starring Lupita Nyong’o and Rihanna

Dear Hollywood, I think you know what to do now.

You owe us this, Hollywood.

• In much worse Things Which Twitter Hath Wrought, the President of the United States of America doesn’t want to be held to the “ridiculous” standard of being judged on his first 100 days, even though, uh, he’s the one who claimed he’d get everything done so fast we’d all have whiplash.

• Yikes, Twitter gets even worse. Probably you should shut the hell up, Michael Reagan.

• At least the Handmaid’s Tale is KILLING it in terms of PR and also conveniently provides the perfect response to the above.

• Marvel wants comic book store staff to dress in Hydra t-shirts to promote Secret Empire. Cool story, Marvel.
• On Riverdale, high schoolers Archie and Veronica sang “Kids in America” together. Clueless—where I first heard that song—is 22 years old.

So what’d you spy with your little eyes today?
