SNL's viral Domingo sketch has finally come full circle, with "Espresso" singer Sabrina Carpenter joining in on the train wreck that is newlyweds Matt (Andrew Dismukes) and Kelsey (Chloe Fineman)'s relationship.

In the eight-minute skit during SNL's 50th anniversary special, Carpenter appears as Sophie, the bride's childhood best friend who couldn't make it to the original wedding because had been in prison at the time. Fortunately for her, the couple are doing a vow renewal — despite the fact that they've been married less than a year and had some incredibly public infidelity issues.

To her credit, Kelsey's friends (Carpenter, Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Sarah Sherman) do start by recounting her newfound commitment to monogamy, enthusiastically displaying their discordant vocals in a parody of Wicked's "Defying Gravity." Unfortunately, Kelsey's resolution dissolves almost immediately, with the idea of an open relationship being floated via a spoof of Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me." It seems she just can't get Domingo (Marcello Hernández) out of her mind.

Kelsey and Domingo aren't the only ones out for some fun, though. This time Matt's groomsmen (Andy Samberg, Bowen Yang, Kyle Mooney, and Beck Bennett) also took up the microphones to perform their own rendition of "Espresso," bringing SNL's Domingo Cinematic Universe back to its roots.

The White Lotus is famous for bringing one character back for each new season. But in Season 3, episode 1, there are two familiar faces, both with a shared connection to Season 1.

The first is Belinda Lindsey (Natasha Rothwell), the spa manager who bonds with millionaire Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge) during her stay in Hawaii. She's arrived in Thailand on a work trip to learn further treatments and techniques to bring back to her White Lotus spa. The second familiar face, glimpsed only briefly towards the episode's end? Tanya's husband Greg (Jon Gries), who she met at the White Lotus in Hawaii — and who arranged to have her murdered in Sicily in Season 2.

So what is Greg doing at the hotel in Thailand, and what does it say about what's happened to him since the events of Season 2?

Sitting alone at the bar after her boyfriend Rick (Walter Goggins) has abandoned her at dinner, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) bonds with another White Lotus guest (Charlotte Le Bon) who's also had a lover's quarrel.

Here's their full exchange:

Chelsea: "My boyfriend's hiding from me."

Woman at bar: "No way, that's like my boyfriend."

C: "Your boyfriend hides from you too?"

W: "Yeah. I mean, he just tells me to get lost because I get on his nerves. But honestly, he's so fucking boring I almost don't even care."

C: "How long have you been here for?"

W: "A year."

C: "You've been at this hotel for a year?"

W: "No, no. We have a house at the top of the hill. We just come down here to eat, but we just got in a fight, so I'm letting him cool off."

The guest then points her boyfriend out in the hotel, and the camera cuts to show Greg sitting at a table by himself.

Greg is now the only character in The White Lotus who has appeared in all three seasons. And despite hiring Quentin (Tom Hollander) to kill Tanya in Season 2 to inherit her money, he clearly hasn't faced any consequences for conspiracy to murder. So what exactly can we glean about what's happened to him from this first interaction?

Well, the implication seems to be that Greg's plan worked, though not in the way he intended. Although Tanya uncovered the plot and ended up taking almost everyone on that boat down with her in the Season 2 finale, she did indeed end up dead. However, as her death would have probably been ruled accidental under the circumstances, we can safely assume Greg inherited her money after all. This is made pretty clear by what his girlfriend tells Chelsea: 1) They have a "house at the top of the hill" in the same part of Thailand as a luxury hotel resort, and 2) They eat regularly at that same luxury resort. Greg clearly has money to burn.

The big question, as Season 3 unfolds, is whether or not his past will catch up with him. Maybe Belinda — who knew Tanya at the time when she first met Greg — will somehow make the connection between them? We'll have to wait and see.

That old legacy system is gone, never to be heard from again. Right? But what do you do on the fateful day that someone needs to access data that's trapped in an old legacy application? If modern applications can't read the data, you need to run the legacy system. And that's where system emulation comes in.

In his first month as POTUS, Donald Trump has released a wave of regressive executive orders, temporarily frozen essential federal funds, and instated Elon Musk as a de facto czar of federal employees. His policy announcements have targeted LGBTQ communities, so-called "DEI" policies, and federal agencies tasked with humanitarian aid and national health and security. Along with these alarming moves, Trump also took aim at a lesser-known evil: the name of the body of water off the southeastern coast of the United States.

What was once (for centuries) the Gulf of Mexico is now being referred to in 1984-style double speak as the "Gulf of America."

Tech companies did little to push back on the name change. Google announced, almost immediately, that it would change the title in Google Maps, and Apple followed suit not long after. But a new extension for Chrome users, titled "FixTheGulf", may help users fight back instead.

Created by modder and iOS developer Bryce Bostwick and uploaded to GitHub on Feb. 15, the extension restores (or, as Bostwick says, "reclaims") the Gulf of Mexico title to Google Maps with the click of a button. A simple, but impactful, use of digital tools to defy the Trump administration's aggressive policy push.

"There are a lot of scary executive orders being issued right now," the extension's download page reads. "This is not one of the most important ones. But it might be the easiest to defy." Bostwick breaks down exactly how it works — and how interested developers can build their own — below:

Physical media in entertainment is declining across the board, and game companies are at the forefront of pushing an all-digital future. The signs are there, and I am deeply concerned about the future of ownership and preservation.

A movement to strike back against Tesla CEO and "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) leader Elon Musk left social media and took to the streets this weekend. Groups of protesters at Tesla showrooms across the country sported signs with messages like, "Stop the broligarchy," "Burn a Tesla, save democracy," and "DOGE is a criminal enterprise," encouraging potential Tesla buyers to take their money elsewhere.

Referred to as the #TeslaTakeover, the protests were organized by a small-but-mighty army of Bluesky users supported by Seattle-based activist group the Troublemakers and direct action The Disruption Project. Many of the events were posted to Action Network, which by Saturday rose to 50 planned protests nationwide, including small town hits and several in California and New York, Washington D.C., Ohio, and even Canada. "Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk. Stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy," the page reads. The #TeslaTakeover events, set for Feb. 15, generated rallies of varying sizes — from handfuls of protesters to large crowds of dozens of people chanting and parading signs — all with the same message: Musk is doing something categorically wrong.

"This isn't just about voicing our anger at Elon Musk's unelected takeover, it's about letting our friends and neighbors know that buying, owning, charging, and servicing a Tesla directly supports him," wrote one Bluesky user, whose post was reshared dozens of times. "Taking down Tesla's sales and stock price is our best way of hitting back. That starts tomorrow!"

Globally, Tesla owners and onlookers have been hitting back at Elon Musk's quick encroachment into the federal government, spurred on by the wider accusation that the SpaceX owner is associating with alt-right figures. Earlier this year, protests broke out at the German Die Welt Economic Summit, at which Musk was set to virtually appear, following Musk's decision to back a German far-right political party.

Meanwhile, American leaders are pleading with the courts to curb Musk's "unconstitutional" scorched earth approach to federal oversight and optimization. On Feb. 13, 14 state attorney generals filed a lawsuit against Musk, challenging the legality of DOGE's actions and asking for the court to bar Musk from issuing orders to bodies outside of the executive branch or overseeing the disbursement of federal funds. Earlier that week, a group of cybersecurity bodies, including the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), filed a lawsuit against Musk's DOGE for having "illegally forced" the Office of Personnel Management and Treasury Department to give up Americans' sensitive digital information to "unauthorized, untrained personnel." The lawsuit called it the "largest data breach in U.S. history."
