Captain Janeway Is Heading Back Into Our Lives as Kate Mulgrew Joins Star Trek: Prodigy

Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager.
The captain of our dreams is coming back in Star Trek: Prodigy. Maybe it's 2020 or maybe it's just a love of Janeway deep inside my soul but I am crying about this news.

Trump Refuses To Do Virtual Debate Because He’s a Big Baby

Donald Trump gestures during the presidential debate.
Trump's cowardice and refusal to consider the safety of the Biden campaign and the moderators is hardly surprising.

Nice to See Sexism Alive and Well With Last Night’s Debate

Kamala Harris speaking in Las Vegas
To be quite honest, it was frustrating to watch if only because it's clear that so many in this country do not realize just how sexist and racist they're being, or they don't care, and that speaks to the core problems we have as a nation. Senator Kamala Harris was poised, knew what she was talking about, and was smart in how she answered questions even when Mike Pence tried to bait her, and I'm proud to be voting for Harris and Joe Biden on November 3rd.

Mike Pence didn't say much and Kamala was amazing, but the real star of the night was, of course ... the fly that landed on Mike Pence's head.

VP Debate: “I’m Speaking,” Lies, Flies, and Pink Eyes

Kamala Harris reminds Mike Pence she's speaking.
The 2020 vice presidential debate concluded earlier, and while it wasn't the awful spectacle that the first presidential debate of the race turned out to be, and Kamala Harris delivered exactly what we were all looking forward to seeing from her, it was still a mess in its own way—and, once again, the most memorable parts didn't really have anything to do with actual policy.

In Tonight’s Debate, the Bar Set for Mike Pence Is Infuriatingly Low

Mike Pence looks unhappy in front of the American flag.
Tonight Kamala Harris and Mike Pence will meet in Salt Lake City for the first and only scheduled vice presidential debate. Standing behind their tiny pieces of plexiglass (which the Pence team has spent all week complaining about), this will be an opportunity to hear from the other halves of both of these campaigns. And […]

“Keep Moving Forward”: What the Rocky Franchise Has Taught Me About Resilience and Living With Cancer

Sylvester Stallone in Rocky I
We clicked play on Rocky and two hours and 2 minutes later I was sitting there bawling my eyes out. The story of a poor, washed up, Philly boxer who goes the distance against the greatest heavyweight champ in the world walloped my beleaguered soul. I became a woman possessed. My new quarantine mission was to watch every single film in the franchise.

We Have To Wait Until 2022 for Jurassic World: Dominion? What Did We Do to Deserve This Pain?

Ellie Sattler in Jurassic Park
Laura Dern posted the poster for Jurassic World: Dominion on her Twitter account with the new date, and I guess that was a nice way to find out that I'd have to wait nearly two years for more dinosaurs. Please pass bad news through Laura Dern's Twitter account. It's how I want to take in all bad things from now on.
