If there was ever a weekend to stay indoors penning a #hottake on the Taylor Swift/Nicki Minaj/Katy Perry Twitterpocalypse, this is it—17 lines are subject to service changes. Note that Magnum P.I. will be leaving Netflix on July 30th, so if you haven't started bingeing it yet, that's another good reason to skip brunch and stay off the N train.
