Big on the Internet, Joe Biden, sexual misconduct, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:58 Late last week, a former Nevada assemblywoman named Lucy Flores published an essay in The Cut detailing what she describes as an "awkward" encounter with then-Vice President Joe Biden in 2014. Flores, then 35, was the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in Nevada, where Biden had come to give the party a boost in their statewide elections. Flores says she was backstage at a rally, waiting to go on to speak to voters, when she "felt two hands on [her] shoulders." Big on the Internet, April Fool's Joke By Rachel Leishman on Mon,1:54 April Fools' Day is here, which means that every gullible human is running for the hills. Big on the Internet, Books, The Mary Sue Book Club By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:00 April might be national poetry month, but a little prose is still a good balance for the literary soul. I was feeling very romantic this April, my birthday month, and so I've picked a couple of romantic related works, with a touch of contemporary YA and fantastical magic. Movies, Aquaman, Shazam By Kate Gardner on Mon,12:56 Are you excited to see Shazam, or do you wish we had actually been given a real Aquaman 2 tease? Movies, movie review By Valerie Complex on Mon,12:44 Jezebel is a sparkling debut for director/screenwriter Numa Perrier, which its SXSW premiere crowd acknowledged enthusiastically. The film deals with themes many will find unsettling. That’s unfortunate, because there's no reason to be uncomfortable with sex work. TV, John Oliver, Last Week Tonight, WWE By Princess Weekes on Mon,11:33 John Oliver tackled the health issues within World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE), and as a former WWE fan, it's an important conversation to have. TV, Manic Pixie Dream Girl By Jadah Steward on Mon,10:35 I used to take it as a compliment when I was accused of being a manic pixie dream girl. The way the phrase was tossed my way with an insulting tone astonished me. After all, several of my favorite cinematic heroes were similar: Summer Flynn, Ramona Flowers, and Clementine Kruczynski, to name a few. What could be so bad about being stylish, doe-eyed, and intimidatingly charming? Gaming, Magic: The Gathering, Tabletop Gaming By Princess Weekes on Mon,10:30 We had the opportunity to speak with Cynthia Sheppard, Magic: The Gathering Senior Art Director, Greg Weisman, author of War of the Spark: Ravnica, and Glenn Jones, Magic: The Gathering Game Designer, about an exclusive look at Kaya's new cards and teasers about her storyline. Big on the Internet, Black Panther, NAACP Image Awards, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,5:58 Black Panther wrapped its historic awards season run last night at the 50th annual NAACP Image Awards, taking home several awards. TV, Joe Hill, NOS4A2, Zachary Quinto By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,5:21 WTF am I watching right now? |
