Snail Mail is back, and it’s time to celebrate. Over three years after her wise-beyond-her-age debut, Lush, Lindsey Jordan announced her second album, Valentine, out November 5. And leading off the project is the massive title track — the biggest-sounding song Jordan has ever released as Snail Mail, with a stadium-sized chorus, but still featuring her signature sharply personal lyrics. “Fuck being remembered,” she declares in the song, inspired by a breakup.

Sometimes Saturday Night Live is epically unfunny, but is it ever trans-phobic? This past weekend’s episode, with guest host Jesse Eisenberg, featured a spoof commercial for a product called Estro-Maxx, an estrogen drug for male-to-female transgender people. Starring SNL regular Bill Hader, the commercial parodies typical pharmaceutical commercials and features several cast members dressed in drag and sporting facial hair. But the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) was not amused.

Well, that was quite a turnaround. To everyone who commented on last week’s tirade against Andrew Garfield’s lackluster episode that it was about time I gave up on SNL: this episode right here is why I still love this show, and why I will never give up on it. The 90 minutes was about as solid as it gets, with a low-expectations host Charlize Theron blending in seamlessly with the cast, the writers performing on overdrive, and even a few head-turning live-TV moments.

Tom Hanks as David Pumpkins (and Bobby Moynihan as Dancing Skeleton) “Any questions?” is how Saturday Night Live’s breakout sketch “Haunted Elevator” ends, and it’s an appropriate button, since many viewers seemingly came away with some. I can’t recall another sketch that has been as popular yet left so many people confused as to why they find it funny. The irony is that the answer is in the question: “Haunted Elevator” — or “David Pumpkins,” as it will forever be known — is confusing by design, looking for a sort of “wait, what!

Taylor Swift leaned in hard on late-night vibes with the release of Midnights, but real ones know she’s been burning the candle at both ends for some time now. While most of us have been focused on merely existing over the past few years, Swift has managed to drop new music by way of folklore, evermore, and Midnights and also release the first of her promised rerecordings of earlier albums, all while crossing the country on her massive Eras Tour.

In my fulltime job as Humor Editor for Groupon, I’m confronted daily by how difficult it can be to make a large company’s social media presence seem funny and engaging, especially to a broad demographic that might not all share the same sense of humor. It’s a brave new world out there for marketing departments trying to develop an “internetty” sense of humor on the fly, and even a casual glance reveals more misses than hits.

Is that tainted rock you’re gripping, Spidey? One of the better laugh lines in Spider-Man: Homecoming isn’t even a line, per se, but rather a hand gesture. Near the film’s midpoint, Spidey — well, Peter Parker — finds himself in Washington, D.C., where his academic decathlon team is competing. Of course, no good citizenship goes unpunished, and the team comes under attack from the Vulture (no relation) while they’re riding the elevator in the Washington Monument.

Logan Roy has a way of collecting Lady Macbeths, and the next in line might be personal assistant-slash-potential baby mama Kerry Castellabate, played by Zoë Winters. Over the course of the third season of Succession, Kerry has gone from silently lurking in muted outfits at Waystar Royco meetings to boldly stepping out in sunshine yellow, girl boss mauve, and icy aqua blue, sarcastically razzing Logan’s children (who are about her age) in between serving up smoothies full of “gloop”-enhancing abilities to her boss and, it’s heavily implied, lover.
