News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, Maxine Waters, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Thu,1:30 Mark Zuckerberg appeared before the House Financial Services Committee yesterday and he did not appear to be having his best day ever. Movies, Patty Jenkins, Pedro Pascal, Wonder Woman 1984 By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:06 Many of us have wondered who Pedro Pascal was playing in Wonder Woman 1984, and it seems as if Patty Jenkins has now given us a hint. While she hasn't confirmed that this is Pascal's role, she did share a hint that Maxwell Lord is heading to Diana Prince's world ... News, donald trump, politics By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:43 It shouldn't surprise me that Donald Trump doesn't know basic geography and yet here I am, confused by a statement that the President of the United States made. AMP Featured, Comics, Marvel Comics, Storm (X-Men), X-Men By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:55 Inconsistency when it comes to coloring in non-white characters has sadly become commonplace. Even characters who are canonically fairly melaninated can get whitewashed on the page for a number of reasons—even in official panels, not just fan art. Sadly, the Goddess of Weather herself, Storm, has become victim of this— again. News, impeachment, Matt Gaetz, Republicans By Vivian Kane on Wed,7:04 So when a group of about 25 nearly entirely white men storm a private and protected Congressional hearing, with totally hackable devices in hand, it raises the question: Why the hell weren't they removed and arrested by Capitol Police? Movies, Linda Hamilton, Terminator: Dark Fate, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,6:00 Terminator: Dark Fate's critical fate seems all over the board. Movies, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Marvel Cinematic Universe By Princess Weekes on Wed,5:14 A few years ago, the question everyone asked was "Are you a feminist?" and it was being specifically asked of celebrity women. The question had nothing to do with the women being asked having any preexisting political stance. It was very much a gotcha question, because no matter what the woman said, it could be dissected by feminists and anti-feminist alike. There was no real intent to create meaningful conversations about feminism. It was for a soundbite, just like this is. Movies, movies, Scorpio By Rachel Leishman on Wed,4:38 So honor your favorite Scorpio, love their loyalty and respect them in their time, but also remember that Scorpios never forget, and that's why all these characters are the best. Books, contributors, Halloween By Christina Ladd on Wed,4:08 The stores are running low on candy, and the leaves have turned vibrant colors, and that means it's almost Halloween! Whether you’re here for the horror or can’t even handle too much darkness in your chocolate, there’s a genre or a book to get you excited for cool afternoons and dark and stormy nights. TV, obsessions, questions, Schitt's Creek By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,3:53 We like to check in with The Mary Sue community and find out what you are watching, reading, playing, listening to, and just plain obsessing over right now. News, donald trump, impeachment, Matt Gaetz, Republicans By Vivian Kane on Wed,3:32 Last week, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz tried to crash an impeachment hearing and then made a big fuss over being kicked out just because he doesn't actually sit on any of the committees involved and therefore has no right to be there. Today, he's trying it again, and he brought along about two dozen of his Republican colleagues, all of whom are apparently just as eager as Gaetz to out themselves as petulant idiots. Big on the Internet, Alexis Bledel, McAfee By Princess Weekes on Wed,1:59 Googling your favorite celebrities can come with some unintended consequences according to McAfee, the American global computer security software company. They have released the top ten celebrities who have been used to dupe people out of their personal information online, and the number one most dangerous celebrity when it comes to this is Rory Gilmore herself, Alexis Bledel. TV, American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis, Riverdale By Rachel Leishman on Wed,1:20 Before season 3 of Riverdale ever premiered, I wanted to know when Archie Andrews was going to sing "Selling Out," a song that opens American Psycho and features a shirtless Patrick Bateman talking about his "struggles" as a member of the elite New York social life. So, Riverdale would have to find some way to include it at some point, right? News, donald trump, impeachment By Vivian Kane on Wed,1:15 Yesterday, William B. Taylor Jr., the top American diplomat to Ukraine, joined the list of current and former officials who have defied Trump's orders and testified before Congress. The reaction from those who heard the closed-door testimony has been dramatic to say the least. AMP Featured, TV, clint barton, Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner By Rachel Leishman on Wed,12:06 Right now, it's just a rumor, but it's going to be interesting to see what Marvel and Disney do in regards to Jeremy Renner in the future. Big on the Internet, Joker, Todd Phillips By Princess Weekes on Wed,11:53 Tourists are flooding to The Bronx due to the Joker stair scene, making the locals feel like they are the ones who might wanna revolt. Big on the Internet, millennials, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Tue,6:47 So 1 in 6 millennials have large saving accounts? We mock your hypothesis! Blasphemy, I say! Big on the Internet, abortion, Northern Ireland, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Tue,5:52 This is a huge and important move, as Northern Ireland had remained the one part of the UK where abortion was still illegal "even in cases of rape, incest and when the fetus is unlikely to survive." News, Ernst & Young Global Limited, sexism, women in business By Vivian Kane on Tue,5:46 Ernst & Young held a training for female employees on leadership and empowerment. And by leadership and empowerment, they meant reinforcing outdated and totally misogynistic stereotypes. |
