Salesforce is jumping on the NFT train, but its employees aren’t along for the ride.

So reports Reuters, which notes that hundreds of Salesforce employees have signed an internal letter protesting the company’s leaked plans to launch an “NFT cloud” service. Employees say the NFT cloud, which would reportedly let Salesforce customers mint and sell non-fungible tokens, violates the company’s “core values” — and they’re pissed.

We reached out to Salesforce in an attempt to confirm Reuters’ reporting, and asked Salesforce if it intends to take its employees concerns into account.

“Our core values guide everything we do, including the development of our products. We welcome our employees’ feedback and are proud to foster a culture of trust that empowers them to raise diverse points of view,” replied a Salesforce spokesperson. “We are hosting a listening session with employees next week and will use their input to strengthen our path forward.”

A listening session might be useful, but the letter is already loud and clear.

“The amount of scams and fraud in the NFT space is overwhelming,” the internal letter, which over 400 employees have signed, reads. “We implore you to reconsider.”

Indeed, the NFT space is rife with shady dealings and theft. In January, OpenSea, which bills itself as “world’s first and largest NFT marketplace,” admitted that “over 80%” of NFTs minted using its free minting tool “were plagiarized works, fake collections, and spam.”

Artists have long complained that bad actors steal their work, mint it as NFTs, and attempt to sell it for a quick profit.

There is, however, money to be made in the growing world of NFTs — a fact clearly not lost on Salesforce. A Jan. 2022 report from Chainalysis, a leading blockchain analytics company, found that in 2021 at least $44.2 billion in crypto was sent to the types of Ethereum smart contracts associated with NFTs.

At least one Salesforce employee who signed the internal open letter told Reuters that, if Salesforce went ahead with its NFT cloud plan, they would quit.

“I’ll find a company that lives by its stated values,” Reuters quotes the employee as saying.

Salesforce would not be the first company to announce some sort of NFT-related initiative, only to be met with employee backlash. Early in February, Bloomberg reported that Ubisoft employees were actively pushing back against the company’s NFT pans.

Salesforce loudly boasts about its commitment to “Ohana,” a Hawaiian concept which Salesforce says “represents the idea that families — blood-related, adopted, or intentional — are bound together, and that family members are responsible for one another.”

Salesforce’s response, or lack thereof, to its employees’ criticism of its reported NFT initiative will demonstrate if that commitment transcends the flashy promise of the blockchain.

You can now call on emergency services from Skype.

All you need to do is dial 911. You can also enable 911 emergency location sharing in the app, which allows Skype to capture your location and share it with emergency operators when you make a 911 call. Skype says it will only share your location to route your call and provide info to an emergency operator.

In order to enable 911 emergency location sharing, go to your profile in Skype by selecting your profile picture. Go to your Settings menu, and then select Privacy. There, you can turn on 911 emergency location sharing. You can disable it at any time.

Not every 911 call involves the police, but it’s important to consider the implications of cops stepping into any crisis situation. The major law enforcement bodies in the United States all exist within a framework of systemic racism. Involving the police state frequently leads to violence which disproportionately affects communities of color. Research has shown that there are other solutions to problems beyond involving the police state.

A 2020 analysis of 911 calls across eight cities in the U.S. found that about a fourth of all calls were for low-priority and non-urgent issues like noise complaints. And some 911 dispatchers say they have to face calls daily that are, in reality, simply racial profiling.

Instead, consider why you’re calling the police and if any other alternatives are available that won’t put people in the kind of danger that disproportionately affects people of color. Also learn about local mental health and medical resources you can call instead; Don’t Call The Police has a list of resources that might work in your city. Don’t wait for an emergency, either. Educate yourself on these issues now so you’re prepared with an appropriate response when something unexpected does occur.

If you listen closely, you’ll hear it. The wind is whispering, vibe shift.

Predicted all the way back in June 2021 by trendcaster Sean Monahan, the aforementioned vibe shift — known as that period in time when one trend dies and another emerges — has been teasing us for months with the TikTok revivals of twee culture and indie sleaze. And just this week, The Cut’s Allison P. Davis publicly proclaimed: “A Vibe Shift Is Coming.” Vibe almanacs have also predicted such a shift, citing years of pandemic ennui, the popularity of early 2000s nostalgia, and the vibe-ological cycle that is closely aligned with the planets.

The vibe shift is imminent. But the real question is who survives.

In her piece, Davis asks about her own survival: “I have a choice to make: Do I try to opt in to whatever trend comes next, or do I choose to accept that my last two good years were spent on my couch gobbling antidepressants and wearing ‘cute house pants’ and UGGs?” It’s a choice that many of us are forced to consider right now, so now more than ever, vibe shift preparation is critical.

From interviews with vibe survivalists and historians (no, not really), we’ve put together a guide of everything you need to know to survive the shift.

Don’t panic

The key to navigating any kind of vibe friction is to stay calm. Remember that humans have survived vibe shifts for thousands of years. From the very first vibe, when humans learned how to make fire, to living through the more recent Hypebeast era, humans have been driven to survive vibes by our innate desire to stay relevant. They got through this, and so can you.

Always be prepared

Failing to plan is planning to fail. Set Google alerts for vibe forecasters like Monahan or Mandy Lee on TikTok, study flash cards of past vibe eras, and pack a bag of essentials for when the shift happens. Although there are theories as to what the next vibe might be, it is still unclear. To be safe, we recommend packing items that indicate your cultural fluency and thus your ability to adapt, such as wired headphones (they say “don’t talk to me,” which is a timeless aura) and sage to clear the unwanted vibes.

Stay sharp

Be on the lookout for misinformation. There are going to be people saying the vibe shift won’t happen, that it’s all hype. But these people are dangerous and wrong. The initial shift from one vibe to the next will be difficult for many, and might cause outrage, panic, denial, and sudden awareness of mortality. Expect an influx of rebuttals and think pieces.

Additionally, you might also encounter those who claim they don’t care whether or not they survive the vibe shift. Distance yourself from them immediately. They will only bring you down with their toxic beliefs.

Dress appropriately

Wear lots of layers so you can be ready to don or remove items of clothing according to the new vibe. Wear comfortable shoes since ride share prices are expected to surge. Invest in a capsule wardrobe you can dress up or down, depending on the vibes. (Whatever you do, don’t buy into fast fashion!)

Bring a portable charger

Keep your phone charged in case of vibe emergencies and to contact family and friends when you have safely entered the new vibe.

Stay hydrated

As we’ve seen from previous micro-vibes — such as banning plastic straws, carrying a HydroFlask, and the sparkling water wave of 2018 — the water vibe is highly volatile. Preempt this as much as possible by staying hydrated in case you’re not able to immediately access the new vibe.

Have fun

Nothing kills a vibe like trying too hard. So embrace the uncertainty, stay loose, and enjoy the ride. Your vibe survival depends on it.

NASA spotted Martian clouds that look awfully Earth-like.

The space agency recently posted atmospheric footage that the Curiosity rover captured late last year. This car-sized robot landed on Mars almost a decade ago and is exploring the planet’s more than 3-billion-year-old Gale Crater.

• In the first GIF below, we can see clouds passing directly above the rover, explained NASA. The clouds are almost 50 miles high, and likely composed of carbon dioxide as opposed to water.

• In the second GIF, the soaring clouds cast shadows on the dry Martian desert.

Compared to Earth, the Martian atmosphere is quite thin. Its volume is about 1 percent of Earth’s and largely composed of carbon dioxide, making it a profoundly inhospitable place for any potential human visitors.

• The secretive lab that built ‘the bomb’ now scours Mars for signs of life

• NASA unexpectedly revealed a Webb telescope ‘first light’ image

• The mega-comet hurtling through our solar system is 85, yes 85, miles wide

Mars’ atmosphere, though it can still support fascinating extraterrestrial clouds today, wasn’t always so thin. Over billions of years, its atmosphere diminished, but planetary scientists suspect the atmosphere was once thick enough to sustain a warm world — with flowing water.

We’ve finally made it to the long weekend, and not a moment too soon, am I right? Well, it’s long weekend if you happen to live in the U.S. and your employer recognizes President’s Day and, well, you get the picture.

I hope you have a long weekend. You deserve it.

Anyway, do you like to laugh? Of course you do. Laughing rules. It’s laughing, who doesn’t like laughing? Even the worst person you know enjoys a good giggle.

Here’s hoping these funny tweets we collected from the past week will gift you a laugh. It would be nice to zone out and chuckle this weekend, wouldn’t it? Well, good luck. Here they are, the 10 best and funniest tweets of the week.

Whether you’re constantly mining for hidden gems or just looking for a change of pace, Sundance Now is an excellent option for when you want a great movie you haven’t seen before.

The streaming service boasts a collection of artful titles in a wide array of genres. There are as many intimate family dramas as there are thrilling true-crime documentaries and deeply quirky comedies. So where should you start?

Listed in no particular order, here are 15 of the best films to stream on Sundance Now.

1. The Vicious Kind (2009)

If you preferred Adam Scott in Party Down over Parks and Recreation, then you simply must watch The Vicious Kind. Written and directed by Lee Toland Krieger, this cruelly undersung drama centers on a dysfunctional family of three on a tumultuous Thanksgiving holiday. When an idealistic college boy (Alex Frost) brings home a new girlfriend (Brittany Snow), his misanthropic older brother (Scott) and tone-deaf father (J.K. Simmons) scramble and scrap to make an impression…but not necessarily a good one. The whole ensemble is excellent, but Adams is the standout, providing a performance that’s sharply funny, unapologetically dark, and unnervingly sexy. — Kristy Puchko, Deputy Entertainment Editor

2. Short Term 12 (2013)

Before Kaitlyn Dever got Booksmart and Brie Larson became Captain Marvel, they co-starred in writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton’s Short Term 12. Set in a group home for troubled teens, this indie drama chronicles the bond between supervisor Grace (Larson) and resident Jayden (Dever). As the young women open up to one another, audiences experience a sobering revelation about life’s fragility. Rami Malek, LaKeith Stanfield, John Gallagher Jr., and more star in this beautiful portrait of compassion and community. Bring tissues; this one is a tearjerker. —Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter

3. Archipelago (2010)

Treat yourself to some exquisite tension with Archipelago. Written and directed by Joanna Hogg, this holiday from hell follows the ambivalent Edward (Tom Hiddleston) on an island vacation with his well-to-do mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) and sister Cynthia (Lydia Leonard). Ostensibly, the trip should serve as Edward’s send-off before a lengthy volunteer trip to Africa. But as the scenes churn and the characters’ blood boils, the family’s deep-seated conflicts chart a new course. —A.F.

4. Chicago 10 (2007)

Whether or not you were a fan of Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, this account of the same true story is well worth your time. Mashable’s Adam Rosenberg writes: “Brett Morgen’s 2007 documentary is a movie for people who don’t like documentaries. It sews together archival footage with animated courtroom scenes based on the trial transcript and is voiced by a star-studded cast, with all of it driven forward by the beat of a soundtrack brimming with hard-charging protest music. There’s an energy here that you don’t often find in other docs.”

5. Boy (2010)

Before he had us cackling over What We Do In The Shadows or cheering for Thor: Ragnarok, writer-director-actor Taika Waitti awed critics with this quirky coming-of-age comedy. James Rolleston stars as Boy, an imaginative 11-year-old Maori kid in 1984 New Zealand. Though a bit of a misfit, Boy finds confidence in impersonating his idol, Michael Jackson. But when his estranged and eccentric father (Waititi) returns home, Boy hopes he’ll finally have a cool guy to lead him into manhood. If you know Waititi’s work, you know nothing will be that simple. Instead, it’ll get weird, hilarious, and defiantly sweet. —K.P.

6. God’s Own Country (2017)

Ammonite writer-director Francis Lee made his feature debut with another tale of queer romance. Set in rural West Yorkshire, England, God’s Own Country centers on the love that blossoms between a young but hardened farmer (Josh O’Connor) and a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu). Forget the showy Hollywood theatrics. Lee and his incredible leading men create a slow-burn drama about tough guys with tender hearts. The result is a critically heralded film that is breath-taking and pulse-racing. —K.P.

How to watch: God’s Own Country is streaming on Sundance Now.

7 . Bad Lucky Goat (2017)

Bad Lucky Goat is something truly special. Colombian director Samir Oliveros makes his debut in this pseudo-heist film about two siblings living on the island of Port Paradise. When Corn (Honlenny Huffington) and his sister Rita (Kiara Howard) run over a goat in their father’s truck, the teens must race to have the truck repaired — and to get rid of the dead goat’s body. At just 75 minutes, this sweet and short saga is a steal. —A.F.

8. Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)

With seven confirmed victims, Aileen Wuornos remains among the most notorious female serial killers in American history. Documentarian Nick Broomfield interviewed Wuornos first for his 1992 film Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer. But it’s his revisitation of the subject in Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer, that deserves your attention. Here Broomfield takes a close look at Wuornos in the months leading up to her death and asks whether she was of sound mind at the time Florida officials carried out her execution. — A.F.

9. Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story (2017)

The late Hedy Lamarr was an actor, inventor, and rule-breaker. In Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story, writer-director-documentarian Alexandra Dean examines Lamarr’s life from her childhood in Austria through her time as a Hollywood icon and groundbreaking technology developer. It caps off with a fascinating look at her reclusive final years. Lamarr makes for an enchanting subject, and Dean’s attention to detail makes this film an especially well-crafted portrait. —A.F.

10. Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth (2019)

Documentarian Jeanie Finlay offers her sensitive lens to a beautiful story in Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth. Freddy McConnell, who is a transgender man, gave birth to his son in January 2018. Together, McConnell and Finlay chronicle the pregnancy and the world’s reaction to McConnell’s unconventional experience of fatherhood. It’s essential queer viewing that fundamentally challenges what it means to fill familial roles as an LGBTQ person. —A.F.

How to watch: Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth is streaming on Sundance Now.

11. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)

The late author Stieg Larsson’s beloved crime thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was adapted twice after his death in 2005. Danish director Neils Arden Oplev tackled it first in 2009, with Noomi Rapace appearing as iconic vigilante Lisbeth Salander. Then American filmmaker David Fincher got in on the fun with actor Rooney Mara as Lisbeth in 2011. Both films have merit. But if you’ve only seen the latter, double-back for Oplev’s take. It’s just as magnetic, if not in all the same ways, and you’ll come to appreciate the source material even more. — A.F.

How to watch: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is streaming on Sundance Now.

12. James White (2015)

Girls actor Christopher Abbott stars in this moody film as the titular James White. James is a tortured screw-up living with his terminally ill mother Gail (Cynthia Nixon) in New York City. As Gail’s death nears, James is forced to face the limitations of his self-destructive “coping” and manifest a new way of living for after she’s gone. It’s an uneven movie with some less than stellar pacing, but Abbott is so good in this especially meaty role, you won’t struggle to stay engaged. Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) also appears as James’ friend Nick. —A.F.

How to watch: James White is streaming on Sundance Now.

13. Who We Are Now (2017)

Writer-director Matthew Newton dissects the impossibility of redemption in this drama, anchored by a heart-breaking performance from Julianne Nicholson. When Beth (Nicholson) is released from prison, she sets out to regain custody of her son. But her sister Gabby (Jess Weixler) isn’t inclined to relinquish her rights as his guardian. Emma Roberts appears as Jess, a young public defender. Zachary Quinto, Jimmy Smits, Jason Biggs, Lea Thompson, and more complete a stellar ensemble cast. —A.F.

14. Loving Vincent (2017)

Self-described as cinema’s “first feature-length painted animation,” Loving Vincent recounts the life and death of Vincent van Gogh. Written and directed by Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, the experimental film uses the Dutch painter’s own works to trace his artistic rise and psychological decline across a stunning narrative journey. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 90th Academy Awards; you’ll see why. —A.F.

How to watch: Loving Vincent is streaming on Sundance Now.

15. Heathers (1988)

The ’80s teen comedy gets a pitch-perfect pitch-black twist in Heathers. Winona Ryder stars as the popular but disaffected Veronica, whose life takes a turn when she falls for bad boy J.D. (Christian Slater). And when we say bad, we mean bad: He’s literally a murderer, getting Veronica involved in a killing spree against classmates who’ve tried to humiliate her. Heathers‘ portrayal of the high school experience is so bitingly funny, so sharply observed that it’s never lost its power to draw blood, and probably never will. * — Angie Han, Former Deputy Entertainment Editor

This Netflix adventure has Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garret Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal coming together as a group of former Special Forces who plan an elaborate heist in South America.

5. Wheelman

Wheelman is a B-movie that makes the most of its resources, offering up a clear vision and a fast-paced ride. It tells of a bank robbery getaway driver (Jeremy Rush) who, after being double-crossed, must uncover his betrayer. Thankfully, it puts every second of its 82-minute runtime to use. —A.F.

6. Okja

Another Bong Joon-ho action film with Tilda Swinton playing the living worst, Okja follows Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun), a young farmer who will stop at nothing to rescue her beloved super pig Okja from slaughter. With the help of the Animal Liberation Front, Mija embarks on a journey to bring Okja home after he’s taken by the evil Mirando Corporation. The result is as sweet as it is suspenseful. —A.F.

How to watch: Okja is now streaming on Netflix.

7. Rush

There are plenty of good reasons to watch Rush, including the charismatic performances by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl as rival Formula One drivers, the dramatic story beats pulled from actual history, and the fabulous sets and costumes steeped in ’70s style (especially everything Olivia Wilde’s character wears). But the best reason of all is the racing scenes, which director Ron Howard imbues with such a propulsive thrill that you may find yourself making race car noises (vroom, vroom) for hours afterward, like a little kid tearing into a new box of Hot Wheels on Christmas morning. Uh, not that I’d know from personal experience or anything. —A.H.

How to watch: Rush is now streaming on Netflix.

8. Da 5 Bloods

Spike Lee did what Spike Lee does in Da 5 Bloods: He delivered a work of cinema that’s both timely and timeless, marked by stellar performances and a camera lens that tells a story even if you ignore the script. 

The film follows four Black Vietnam vets as they return to the former war zone in search of their dead squad leader’s remains…and the millions in CIA gold they plundered and buried before their tour ended. Political differences between the men foster mistrust and complicate their journey, leading to a powerful finale that’s not-so-strangely resonant — this is Spike Lee — for recent moments in history. —Adam Rosenberg, Senior Entertainment Reporter

How to watch: Da 5 Bloods is now streaming on Netflix.

9. Avengement

Avengement is the type of action movie you watch for the action. It follows a prisoner (Scott Adkins) who, in an act of revenge, attempts to hold the people at a private bar hostage. While this story is standard, Adkins’ fierce performance mixed with a growing intensity builds a solid B-level action flick. —B.B.

How to watch: Avengement is now streaming on Netflix.

10. Army of the Dead

The best part of Army of the Dead is probably the first 15 minutes. But there’s plenty more to keep you entertained through the whole action-packed, two-hour-and-28-minute journey. Dave Bautista stars as a mercenary among the undead, tasked with carrying out an impossible post-apocalyptic heist. In a vault beneath Las Vegas, lies more than 200 million dollars. But can he and his crew get it out without falling prey to the living dead?* —A.F.

Did you enjoy glamming up your Facebook photos with profile frames? Those graphics and slogans you could embed over your circular Facebook profile image were a great way to customize your page for a holiday or show support for your favorite sports team. Users could even get creative and create their very own custom frame images.

Well, you won’t be able to do that anymore. Facebook is removing profile frames as we know it, essentially killing the feature. And anti-vaxxers are to blame.

Tweet may have been deleted

In a post on Friday, Facebook announced new changes to the feature, officially shutting down the ability for users to create customized profile frames. While profile frames will still exist, only frames from “certain government services or organizations and those providing authoritative information on COVID-19” will be available to users.

“On March 21, only profile frames from certain government services or organizations and those providing authoritative information on COVID-19 will be available,” reads the Facebook post. “This change reflects our continued emphasis on helping people express their support around important issues like voting and reliable health information.”

Scrolling through the extremely short list of available frames in the Facebook Frames Gallery, users can right away see the difference. The popular “I got my COVID-19 vaccine” frame from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is still available for users, as are frames created by UNICEF. There are a few generic graphic frames created by Facebook itself that users can use. But, that’s it. There are no other frames currently available.

As Facebook cracked down on anti-vaccination content over the past few years, anti-vaxxers had to get more and more creative in spreading their misinformation on the social networking platform without getting banned. Anti-vaxxers quickly weaponized the profile frame feature by creating frames such as “I trust my immune system, not a shot” and “Fuck the vaccine.” Once a frame was created, they could be shared with any Facebook user who could then embed the frame on their own profile photo.

These anti-vaccine sentiments quickly spread through the social media platform via Facebook profile frames. Anti-vaccine profile frames could be found all over the network. When CNBC reached out to Facebook in May 2021, the company removed a number of these frames as they were violating Facebook’s existing vaccine misinformation policies. However, other similar frames continued to proliferate across the social network.

Tweet may have been deleted

Over the months that followed CNBC’s report, Facebook began removing all profile frames from the gallery that weren’t created by official partners, according to SocialMediaToday. Eventually, users began reporting that the frame creator was disabled too, although messaging on the creator page pointed to it being just a temporary change.

With today’s announcement, Facebook has made it clear: Custom profile frames aren’t coming back.

Facebook says any existing custom profile frames will be deleted from the platform on March 21. Users can download frames that they created from the Frame Studio anytime before that date. 

One consolation to those who really like their current Facebook profile pic with a frame? Facebook says users can keep using them. The company will not be removing photos that were already created with a frame.

For years, NBC’s tagline has been “Comedy starts here.” After a deep dive through Peacock’s streaming catalog, it’s clear that their investment has paid off. We’ve put together the best TV shows to stream on Peacock, and a large majority of the top options are comedies. It can’t be helped! NBC has been putting out some of the best comedies of the last 40 years, and they all deserve a shout-out. 

Here are the best heartfelt dramas, spine-tingling horrors, sprawling science fictions, campy teen soaps, period romances, and of course, top-tier comedies to stream right now on Peacock. Fair warning: a list this stacked means you might not leave the couch this weekend. 

1. We Are Lady Parts

The only problem with Nida Manzoor’s exceptional comedy about an all-female Muslim punk bad is that it’s too short — but the good news is we’re getting Season 2. Anjana Vasan stars as Amina, a spectacularly awkward and endearing guitar player who joins the band, Lady Parts. She’s one of five rock-solid performances in a show that explores and embraces complex Muslim women, with an irreverent pop-punk soundtrack and riotous laughs to boot. Watch it now and put that banger on repeat.* —Proma Khosla, Senior Entertainment Reporter

2. Battlestar Galactica

Very few shows are as addicting, as binge-able, or as mind-warping as 2004’s Battlestar Galactica. A remake of a 1970s classic, Battlestar opens on a contingent of humans, facing off against a cybernetic race called the Cylons, who reappear after decades of no contact to decimate the humans’ 12 planetary colonies. Now, there are only 50,000 humans left in existence, the lucky few who were on space ships at the time of the nuclear holocaust. Their plight to survive only becomes more dire after a terrifying revelation: the Cylons no longer look like metal robots. They look like humans, and anyone anywhere could be an enemy lying in wait. 

Battlestar Galactica is a brilliant, suspenseful, and surprisingly relatable science-fiction epic, layered with religious allegory, political commentary, and human psychology. And it’s a hell of a fun watch! Very few shows can match Battlestar’s level of satisfying plot twists and gut-wrenching cliffhangers while maintaining such fidelity to grounded human behavior. With Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, and Katee Sackhoff at the helm of a scintillating cast, this is a pulsating, enthralling story that can’t be missed.

3. 30 Rock

Ah, 30 Rock. This show taught us it’s okay to flip a table for a good sandwich and that we should “never follow a hippie to a second location.” It is an absurd, fast-paced satire whose jokes are as fresh now as they were when it first debuted in 2006. Tina Fey is Liz Lemon, a prudish know-it-all and head writer for The Girlie Show, a fictional stand-in for Saturday Night Live. Lemon’s life gets flipped upside down when NBC puts Jack Donaghy, a hyper-masculine, hyper-privileged, and hyper-conservative executive (the perfectly-cast Alec Baldwin), in charge of TGS. He subsequently forces her to boost ratings by bringing in the unpredictable and unhinged comedian Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan at his finest). 30 Rock is surreal, ridiculous, and hilarious, with loveable characters and an endlessly quotable library of one-liners. If it isn’t already, this is your new favorite show. 

How to watch: 30 Rock is streaming on Peacock.

4. One of Us is Lying

Another silly teen show about murder? Yes, please! One of Us Is Lying takes a classic teen soap trope (“high school sucks!”) and kicks it up a notch by placing five characters — each representing a recognizable high school archetype — in detention. Unlike The Breakfast Club, where everyone ends up dating, only four of these high schoolers are making it out of detention alive. Did someone murder their classmate on purpose? Was it an accident? Or is one of us lying??? The mystery is surprisingly well-crafted and often surprising, which makes for an interesting juxtaposition against its well-worn teen show backdrop.

5. Superstore

Binge-ing a season of Superstore in a day is no sweat. So, it makes sense that the series’ six-year run felt as brief as a stroll down the aisle of any Cloud 9. From the beginning, Justin Spitzer’s workplace comedy was sharp, kind, and laugh-out-loud funny — more than it had any right to be and more than most sitcoms pull off in a lifetime. It tackled immigration and other social issues with unparalleled comedic timing and a critical lens. In its final hours, it also achieved the distinction by being one of the only shows to accurately and tactfully portray the pandemic.

For years, this was where we came to gossip with Cheyenne (Nicole Sakura) and Mateo (Nico Santos), to catch up on the drama of Jonah (Ben Feldman) and Amy (America Ferrera), to kick back with Garrett (Colton Dunn), and to be terrorized by Dina (Lauren Ash). By the time Cloud 9 closed its doors for good, Glenn (Mark McKinney) turned out to be right: It was so much more than a store. – P.K. *

6. The Office

The show that made the mockumentary a treasured American institution, The Office will never go out of style. In 2020, seven years after its last episode aired, it was the most-streamed TV show across all platforms by far. For those of us who love The Office, this comes as no surprise. 

This grounded and charismatic character-based comedy about a paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania still hits just as hard on the second rewatch… and third… and fourth. The jokes don’t get stale and the characters don’t get old — we only fall more and more in love with them. Though Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, and the entire Office cast may have moved on to bigger and better things, they’ll always be Michael Scott, Jim, Pam, and Dwight in our hearts.

7. Downton Abbey

Has there ever been a more comforting watch than Downton Abbey, a show whose major conflicts include “getting ready for dinner” and “who’s going to inherit the big house?” Sure, sure, there are deeper threads here, like world wars, women’s rights, Irish independence, and the decay of the British aristocracy, which give the widely revered drama a deep gravitas to match its prodigious charm. The cast is full of British greats. Maggie Smith, Penelope Wilton, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Michelle Dockery, Dan Stevens, Lily James, Matthew Goode, and more frequent the eponymous manor. Come for the period drama but stay for the slow burn romances. Downton Abbey is a juicy and beautifully shot show, serving up satisfying watches on a silver platter.

8. Cheers

Many decades before Ted Danson stole the show as a devilishly handsome silver fox on The Good Place, he spiced up primetime as Sam Malone, a former pro baseball player who drank his career away, only to find himself the proprietor of a charming neighborhood watering hole where everybody, well, you know. Sam spends his days and nights slinging drinks alongside his former coach, Coach (Nicholas Colasanto); fiery cocktail waitress Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman); and erudite fish-out-of-water Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), a new cocktail waitress with whom he spends several seasons flirting in between flings. The witty banter, guest stars, and celeb appearances, as well as an overall cozy vibe between Sam and his regulars (Cliff, Norm, and, yes, Frasier and Lilith) make Cheers a timeless classic. And don’t forget about baby-faced Woody Harrelson, who joined as a main character in the fourth season.* —Jenni Miller, Freelance Writer

9. Frasier

This is a show about an insufferable, middle-aged radio psychiatrist pathologically unable to take his own advice. He is pompous, illogical, and far too critical of the parade of women who bafflingly agree to date him. Frasier does not sound like a universally-beloved comedy with heart, wit, and a lot of fun — but reader, it is! It’s an amazing sitcom. There’s magic in this cadre of characters, from Frasier’s down-to-earth father (John Mahoney) who slings insightful mocking of his impossibly snobby sons, to his brother Niles (the iconic David Hyde Pierce), who has a paralyzing crush on the eccentric Daphne (Jane Leeves at her absolute best). 

This is not a show to watch if you’re looking for character development and personal growth. This is the show to watch if you want to see Frasier and Niles insist on throwing yet another elaborate dinner party, though all evidence points to their complete inability to do so without catastrophe. And best of all? Frasier has 11 seasons, so you don’t have to stop watching for months if you don’t want to!*

10. Bates Motel

Alfred Hitchcock invented the slasher genre with his delightfully gory masterpiece Psycho. For over 60 years, the film’s chilling surprise villain, Norman Bates, has been the blueprint for disturbing horror baddies. Bates Motel asks the questions about Norman’s backstory that went unanswered in Psycho. Why is a grown man dressing up as his mother and stabbing women in the shower? How did he get both so good and so bad at taxidermy? And would it be possible to clarify the depths of incest we’re talking about here? Freddie Highmore plays young Norman alongside Emmy-nominated Vera Farmiga as his (still alive) mother Norma — and all of those questions get their answers.* —Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter

11. Saved by the Bell

No one expected the Saved by the Bell reboot to be a self-aware commentary on diversity and socio-economic class disparity. But lo and behold, here we are! Tracy Wigfield’s new Saved by the Bell hits the ground running by re-introducing us to Zack Morris, now the current governor of California. Morris’s idiotic policies have bankrupted schools, forcing Bayside High, a nexus of privilege, to welcome students from underfunded neighborhoods. These new kids clash with the students and teachers of Bayside (included A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano as the football coach and counselor!) in unexpected and often enlightening ways. Honoring its predecessor without feeling like a retread, Saved by the Bell is a bright and clever comedy for the modern era.

12. Girls5Eva

Produced by 30 Rock legends Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, Girls5Eva is a loony and delightful series poised to usher NBC into its next phase of successful comedies. Sprinkled with ridiculous original songs, Girls5Eva tells the story of a group of 40-something women trying to get their former Spice Girls-style ‘90s girl group back together. Sarah Bareilles and Renée Elise Goldberry’s tremendous musical talent lends authenticity to the group’s backstory, while Busy Phillips and Paula Pell are downright hilarious, making the most of every punchline. In an era when many comedies are actually dramedies, it’s refreshing to watch a show so deeply committed to silliness.

13. Friday Night Lights

You do not have to be a football fan to fall in love with Friday Night Lights. This sports drama about a Texas high school football team and its esteemed coach has something for everyone: romance, teen angst, small-town squabbles, existential crises, discussions on race, gender, and class, and of course, really great football games.

Friday Night Lights launched many of today’s big–name actors. Kyle Chandler is Coach Taylor, the insightful and emotionally intelligent coach helping his boys grow both on the field and into adulthood. Connie Britton is his loving and independent wife. Scott Porter is the star QB whose life is upended by an injury, Minka Kelly, his loyal girlfriend, and Taylor Kitsch, his brooding best friend. Zach Gilford, Jesse Plemons, Adrianne Palicki, Michael B. Jordan, and Jurnee Smollett round out the sparkling cast, guaranteeing that you’ll fall in love with these characters and their stories whether or not you know what a two-point conversion is.

Despite what some Tobe Hooper scholars will tell you, a good Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel doesn’t have to do or be anything. A good movie is a good movie — and the latest Leatherface outing just isn’t that.

Directed by David Blue Garcia and written by Chris Thomas Devlin, based on a story by Fede Álvarez and Rodo Sayagues, Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) is a modern-day follow-up to the 1974 original. This marks the ninth flick in the horror series. For those unfamiliar, the seven other titles don’t matter for continuity, and pale only in comparison to this one’s screaming smugness.

Like Halloween (2018), this pseudo-reboot sets out to reclaim the franchise’s confused legacy by retconning away its past and starting semi-fresh. The resurrection of infamous final girl Sally Hardesty (played here by Olwen Fouéré; original actor Marilyn Burns died in 2014) is an especially close parallel to Universal Pictures’ Laurie Strode renaissance. But Sally’s return is such a weak aside, you could just as well spotlight the movie’s use of the titular power tool as its most salient revisitation.

The plot more squarely centers on a gaggle of twentysomethings who, almost 50 years after the events of the first massacre, make plans to flip a small Texas ghost town. Described by locals as “gentrifuckers,” Melody (Sarah Yarkin) and Dante (Jacob Latimore) are intent on turning the sleepy homestead of Harlow into a utopian oasis.

Their need for a safe haven is underscored by the presence of Melody’s younger sister Lila (Elsie Fisher), who recently survived a school shooting. (Unsurprisingly, a story from the dudes who brought you Don’t Breathe 2 is a tasteless train wreck that runs headlong into sensitive subjects.) Also along for the ride is Dante’s blonde fiancée Ruth (Nell Hudson), who in the grand tradition of shitty slashers lets her hair color double as a personality.

Harlow’s inexplicably cash-rich newcomers welcome a party bus of clients to peruse properties in the morning. But by nightfall, they’re fighting for their lives, having awoken Leatherface (Mark Burnham) and unintentionally delivered dozens of would-be victims to his doorstep.

With the stage set for a blood bath, it’s time to watch this Texan do a chainsaw massacre — and boy howdy, does he deliver. For fans of gore and guts, this Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a standout success. Limbs splinter, entrails fly, and bodies mount as the ever-menacing masked murderer plods around getting his. If you’re following the film on social media, then you may have already heard about a buzzy bus-set butchering which, let me tell you, lives up to the hype.

That said, it’s tough to find satisfaction in something so shoddily made. The practical effects are entertaining enough, but everything else in this Texas Chainsaw Massacre is lacking. The characters aren’t likable, nor are they well-written. The shot pacing is erratic, revealing continuity errors throughout. Entire chase scenes occur and never quite make sense. Fisher’s hair sucks — so, so badly.

On the one hand, it’s a bummer to see yet another Texas Chainsaw Massacre fail to capture what makes the first among the most terrifying tales ever told. On the other hand, it’s the sort of disappointment you get used to as a TCM fan. Bad sequels are now as much a part of Leatherface’s legacy as his inaugural installment. So, in that way, this one kills.
