Hollywood eventually consumes everything important. Next up are Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina–formerly of Pussy Riot but still the most visible faces of the Russian feminist punk collective—who, according to Baltimore City Paper, will appear on the third season of House of Cards.

House of Cards may be leaving Maryland thanks to the kind of political wrangling that makes the show so fun to watch. A bill to increase the amount of tax-incentive money allocated to film and TV shoots in the state failed late Monday night in the state legislature, all thanks to a single clause.

In honor of Presidents Day, President Barack Obama is celebrating the holiday by sitting at home and watching his favorite television shows. The only difference between Obama and a normal person is that Obama is probably sitting at home watching advance episodes of Game of Thrones while you're stuck watching the season 3 trailer over and over.

No need to make dinner reservations or even shower this Valentine's Day as Netflix's second season of House of Cards will be released Feb. 14. The trailer was released today with a promising synopsis:

The road to absolute power is paved with hypocrisy…and casualties. Praise Frank Underwood, the House of Cards season two trailer is here to tide us over until February; SNL will have a black woman on the cast by January; Spider-Man is getting spinoff movies; and Adam Sandler will be overacting the role he was born to play: himself.

Perez Hilton finally achieved his goal of being famous, in the most ironic and exploitative way possible; Netflix is giving you the best Valentine's Day gift ever; the terrifying nightmares of your youth are back to haunt you; and Cats is being turned into a movie, because, Hollywood.

Netflix is hinting at a little more Crazy Eyes while we all wait desperately for Season 2; NPH remains the best at everything ever (except hosting the Emmys, but neither here nor there); the BBC is now taking on bad reality TV fare; the Wikileaks movie had nowhere near the impact of actual Wikileaks.

With its 9 Emmy nominations and 3 wins, Netflix's House of Cards didn't just shatter the fourth wall, it shattered records for online content as well. But is it going to call its own government shutdown after just two seasons?
