Big on the Internet, New York Times, white supremacy By Vivian Kane on Wed,12:57 As an op-ed for the New York Times, Ross Douthat wrote a piece titled "Why We Miss the WASPs." You might remember Douthat as the guy who wrote that in-defense-of-incels piece "The Redistribution of Sex" earlier this year. He's known for his truly terrible takes on politics and religion and this new piece is no exception. Movies, 101 Dalmatians, Emma Stone By Princess Weekes on Wed,12:16 The money grab continues as Disney plans Cruella De Vil 101 Dalmatians prequel with Emma Stone as the possible lead. Comics, Shades of Magic, Titans Comics, V.E. Schwab By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:00 V.E. Schwab is a name you've heard if you've been paying attention to the current landscape of queer and inclusive fantasy works.

Big on the Internet, sexism, women in business, women in the workplace, workplace discrimination By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:02 According to a new report from Bloomberg, male senior executives working on Wall Street are super scared of women in the #MeToo era. So scared that they've decided their only option is to avoid being alone with them or even, it seems, around them at all. Movies, John Boyega, Watership Down By Kate Gardner on Tue,4:54 This holiday season will see Watership Down returning to traumatize a whole new generation, this time featuring the dulcet tones of John Boyega. Movies, Captain Marvel, Nick Fury, Samuel L. Jackson By Rachel Leishman on Tue,3:36 If it's not his exasperation with the Avengers that makes Nick Fury so relatable, it's definitely his reaction to Goose (an apparent replacement for Chewie, Captain Marvel's cat in the comics). When the cat (or possibly Flerken) finally made her onscreen appearance in the latest Captain Marvel movie trailer, after an understated appearance on the poster, fans squealed in excitement.

Movies, Avengers 4, Marvel Entertainment By Rachel Leishman on Tue,2:15 In a new fan theory, the apparent key to defeating Thanos is ... Deadpool. You know what I say to that?
