IWTV, The Follow Up Interview

Hell. Daniel Molloy was almost 100% sure that this was his personal hell. Of course, it was his luck that he would just barely escape the two narcissistic eternal queens known as Armand and Louis just to be kidnapped by who was largely the subject of the entire interview he'd been conducting. The vampire, Lestat. It was convoluted, really. What were the odds of the Uber driver he ordered being the fucking vampire that Louis couldn't stop talking about? ...well, actually, considering everything he heard and remembered in the past few days, he supposed he shouldn't have been too surprised.

Looking down at the chair he was tied to, Daniel pulled at the ropes that bound his arms to those of the chair. Pulling did nothing to help. Not surprising. Maybe he would've been able to wriggle out of his bonds if it didn't hurt to move his wrists. The chair was sturdy. Some fancy plush dining chair stationed in the middle of what looked like some kind of study. Shelves full of books surrounded the room, each covered in a thick layer of dust. From what he'd heard of the man so far, Lestat seemed more like the type of man to show off the rare books he collected rather than actually read the things. Posters for Broadway shows were immaculately framed on the walls. Aida, Billy Elliot, The Lion King. Lestat was an Elton John fan, apparently. Daniel did his best not to roll his eyes.

Instead, he was focused on the large desk in the center of the room he'd been pushed up against. It was completely empty, save the tape recorder set in the middle of it. A blank tape was already inserted. Ready to record. Daniel had a sinking feeling he knew where this was going.

"Hey!" Daniel called out as he attempted to crane his head to look behind him. "Frenchie, I know you can probably fucking hear me and I want you to know that I'm not interested." Trying to move his legs revealed they were tied to the chair as well. "I've already had to listen to your boyfriends make asses of each other and you for long enough. The last thing I want is to deal with more of your weird love triangle bullshit."

"You make it sound like you have a choice." A hand on the chair followed the voice, and Daniel yelped from surprise.

"Jesus fucking Christ!" Daniel cried as he watched a man circle around him. He was tall. Maybe mid thirties with long blonde hair. He wore skin-tight leather pants with an even tighter see-through shirt. Combined with the air of arrogance the man carried along with his smug grin, it didn't take a genius to figure out the man was Lestat. Just as dramatic as foretold.

"So you must be Daniel." Lestat's smile reminded Daniel of the costumed actors that tried to stop you for pictures in Times Square. Fake and just slightly intimidating, ready to shank you if you didn't pay for the pictures you were forced to take together. "Wow. I've learned so much about you." The blonde hoisted himself into the desk in front of Daniel, eyes staring down at him like a predator eyeing its dinner.

"I could say the same about you." Daniel shifted, wondering how Lestat knew about him. An issue he could worry about later.

"Oh, I'm sure Louis and Armand have told you all about me." Yeah, he was practically all they talked about. "And. You see, they have their side of the story, but it just didn't seem fair that you only got to interview them." Lestat leaned forward and perched his chin in his hands. "So I've decided that you will have the honor of capturing my story in my own words."

"And what if I don't cooperate?" Daniel asked with a raised eyebrow. In response, the younger (technically older, much older) man reached into his pocket. Daniel noticed the bulge, and for a moment, he wondered if he'd be the next in what was likely a long line of men to see Lestat's cock. Instead, he pulled out a pill bottle.

"Your Sinemet. Helps with the pain, right?" Lestat asked as he noticed the discomfort in Daniel's small movements. "You know it's a real shame that I didn't get to meet you back then, too. I wonder if you were beautiful. Before the age and sickness set in."

"Louis seemed to think so." Daniel's verbal jab made Lestat pause. Just for a moment, but it was long enough to notice as the vampire set the pill bottle aside with a sigh.

"I suppose I deserved that." Lestat reached over and grabbed a letter opener that Daniel hadn't seen before. He brought it to Daniel's wrists, and the man flinched away, expecting pain. Instead, his wrists were cut free. Daniel watched as Lestat got up and grabbed a laptop (his laptop) off of a nearby end table and handed it to the reporter. Walking back to the desk, Lestat leaned over and pressed play on the waiting tape recorder. "Just, humor me."

"Well, considering I don't exactly have a choice here." Daniel rubbed his rope burned wrists. "I guess we should start from the beginning."

While You Were Offline: Beyonc Is Having Twins and the Internet Is Having a Cow

Big news: Beyonc is pregnant. This would send the Internet into a frenzy under any circumstances, but during a week when there was another explosive bit a of news every 10 minutes, Queen Bey’s Instagram announcement quickly diverted everyone from a moment of panic to one of collective joy. Even better, she’s having twins, which means finally we have another Star Wars meme to go alongside the Carrie Fisher is the leader of the Resistance one that’s been going around for a while. Meanwhile, a Twitter hashtag helped Uber lose 200,000 customers and might have pushed the CEO of the company to drop out of President Donald Trump’s business advisory council. Oh, and Trump has also seemingly declared war on Arnold Schwarzenegger. What even is this world? Let’s find out together in this round-up of things you might have missed on the world weird web over the past seven days.

#TrumpBlackHistory

What Happened: President Trump doesn’t seem to have the strongest grip on history. Thankfully, Twitter found the funny side. Where It Blew Up: Twitter What Really Happened: Can we talk about President Trump’s amazing speech earlier this week to launch Black History Month?

This is a full transcript of President Trump's speech to his Black History Month event. http://pic.twitter.com/uJ9iXvUOGr

Actually, let’s let Late Night with Seth Meyers’ Amber Ruffin do it for us:

Thankfully, even as the lame stream media acted as if it was a disaster, Twitter managed to see the funny side, spinning off into the bizarre history of alternative facts that the president might actually believe about black history:

#TrumpBlackHistory Harriet Tubman brought us the Underground Railroad, paving the way for the great subway systems you see today.

— Crutnacker (@Crutnacker) February 1, 2017

They claimed times were good, but that was FAKE NEWS. BAD times. Terrible. The worst! Sad! #TrumpBlackHistory http://pic.twitter.com/WvyII6jjcZ

We owe a lot to Diana Ross for sewing our first flag. It was so great of her. So great. #TrumpBlackHistory

— AL (@MissSchliez) February 1, 2017

Frederick Douglass has made many contributions. They will become more and more. Period. #SpicerFacts #trumpblackhistory

— Em (@emilydabney) February 3, 2017

The Takeaway: It’s funny, you see, because the alternative is to take it seriously, and that’s just heartbreaking. Still, there was one upside from the whole thing, if you look at it the right way:

I'm wondering if Jews who read the transcript of Trump's Black History Month talk still wish Trump had mentioned them last week

Sure, But Which Woman?

What Happened: Funny story: A sexist comment reportedly made by President Trump led to a social media uprising. But we expected it would, right? Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: The leaks coming out of the White House since Trump took office have been plentiful: We’ve been told by anonymous sources that he has to have screen time regulated by staff, that he really can’t do diplomacy well, and, according to one report on Thursday, that he “liked the women who work for him ‘to dress like women,’” which… yeah. The report went on to say, “We hear that women who worked in Trump’s campaign field offices—folks who spend more time knocking on doors than attending glitzy events—felt pressure to wear dresses to impress Trump.”

It’s exactly the kind of sexist narrative that people expected, which meant that it got all kinds of attention. Twitter, of course, couldn’t leave it alone either, creating the hashtag #DressLikeAWoman to respond:

So, I should wear this to work, Donald? SOUNDS GREAT. #dresslikeawoman http://pic.twitter.com/EfnJqvXJYb

— Naomi Watkins (@DGNaomiW) February 3, 2017

The Takeaway: Let’s look to style icon Katherine Hepburn for the final word on this one, shall we?

Maybe It’s a Band Name, Like the Brian Jonestown Massacre

What Happened: When is a terrorist attack not a terrorist attack? When it never happened, obviously. Did you hear that, Kellyanne Conway? Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: Hey, remember when Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway talked about “alternative facts” as a way to avoid admitting that Press Secretary Sean Spicer had lied to the press? Turns out, she practices what she preaches; in an MSNBC interview this week, Conway cited the “Bowling Green Massacre” as a reason why it’s important to fight back against terrorists with things like the executive order on immigration. Funny story! There’s no such thing as the Bowling Green Massacre.

You bet that the media was quick quick to point out that Conway had invented a fake attack to defend the administration, but Twitter wanted to get to the bottom of things.

I'm still so furious that because of political correctness the feds refused to investigate the Bowling Green Massacre thanks Obama

— Jesse Singal (@jessesingal) February 3, 2017

Who can forget where they were when they heard of the Bowling Green Massacre for the first time?

— Science Enjoyer (@fifthstarter) February 3, 2017

if you'd like to donate to the fund for the victims of the bowling green massacre please PayPal me directly

— Max Read (@max_read) February 3, 2017

shame on Kellyanne Conway for attempting to politicize the Bowling Green massacre, in which I was killed

— PAPPADEMAS (@PAPPADEMAS) February 3, 2017

The Takeaway: Although Conway would later try to explain that she just misspoke, but there are those who remain braced for the next wave in the ongoing war between the current administration and its stated opposition:

So pumped for the coming Bowling Green Massacre spin. "Chuck, you know what WAS a massacre?" "This is yet another example of the media nitpi

Jar-Jar Binks Comes Out of Hiding

What Happened: Just when you didn’t expect it, Jar-Jar Binks returned to the Internet this week, in the most unexpected place. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: Ah, the Drudge Report! Famed bastion of post-truth in a world that has finally come around to its way of thinking! If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywwait. What’s that on the front page?

Wait, why is Jar Jar Binks on the front page of the Drudge Report? http://pic.twitter.com/vwkrvquYpr

— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) February 2, 2017

In the bowels of the Pentagon, a gen. is informed Iranians have developed Jar Jar Binks technology.

Removing cigar, he sighs: "God help us" http://bit.ly/2kbfBzD

AGENT JAR-JAR: @DRUDGE may have just uncovered John Kerry's secret Iranian nemesis. Was Binks the mastermind Behind #irandeal? #StarWars http://pic.twitter.com/uSjIgDscNM

— Thomas Paine (@Thomas1774Paine) February 2, 2017

@samsanders Even weirder, it looks like the original was from a 2008 article… that was mocking the @DRUDGE_REPORT http://bit.ly/2kbgCI6

— David Robinson (@drob) February 2, 2017

The picture on the home page of Drudge has Jar Jar Binks in it and its file name is "Iran Fake Missiles." http://pic.twitter.com/ag6s1OMtid

— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) February 2, 2017

To no one’s surprise, the return of Jar-Jar made headlines. Confused, concerned headlines. Has anyone checked in on Ahmed Best? The Takeaway: Really, we all thought we were doing OK before this news broke, let’s be honest.

On top of everything else, now Jar Jar Binks is trending. Remember the good ol days, when we just had to deal with nazis?

Someone Ask Keanu Reeves, Just to Be Sure

What Happened: It was the meeting of two of the buzziest Twitter accounts when the ACLU turned to Merriam-Webster for help. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: This one doesn’t need a lot of explanation, as it unfolded on Twitter in pretty much real time. All you really need to know is that, in light of current events, the American Civil Liberties Union is receiving a boost in attention and donations. Which led to the tweet that started the whole thing off.

@ACLU has arrived: "We'll see you in court" was clue in yesterday's @nytimes crossword!

— David Cole (@DavidColeACLU) February 2, 2017
