TV, Poe Dameron, Star Wars (franchise), Star Wars Resistance By Kate Gardner on Fri,11:49 After months of fans clamoring for any official news on Star Wars Resistance, we finally got a trailer for the highly anticipated animated series that will premiere in October. Following in the footsteps of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, the show will follow a plucky band of leads as they embark on a spy mission for the Resistance Movies, bisexual representation, Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith, LGBTQ Representation By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:45 I think when it comes to representation of sexuality, especially in stories not written by someone of that sexual orientation, there are times when the author can either miss the mark or accidentally make something really profound. The latter is how I feel about Kevin Smith's 1997 movie Chasing Amy. News, Fox News, tacos, Tucker Carlson By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,11:41 Sentient boat shoe Tucker Carson had Univision anchor Enrique Acevedo on his show, and it only took him 4 minutes to get into a screaming match about tacos—well, a one-sided screaming match at least.

AMP Featured, News, politics By Dan Van Winkle on Fri,10:00 Socialism has long been a buzzword in the United States, but for a lot of that time, that's because our citizens were taught that it was inherently bad, along with communism. That messaging has increased on the political right in recent years, with Republican politicians advocating for ever more extreme cuts to what the government actually does for its citizens, but our younger population has still only become more open to the idea. Big on the Internet, CollegeHumor, diversity, Rekha Shankar By Charline Jao on Fri,8:36 In this hilarious skit written by CollegeHumor's Rekha Shankar, Shankar stars as the 90s-style host of "Trend Watch" trying to get to the bottom of the "diversity trend" sweeping the nation. Big on the Internet, male entitlement, senator, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Fri,8:25 Right on the heels of ultra-conservative, ultra-entitled twerp Ben Shapiro insisting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez debate him lest she be proven scared or a fraud or whatever that was supposed to do, we've got yet another man demanding a debate with a woman who is simply trying to do her damn job. TV, donald trump, racism, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert By Charline Jao on Fri,7:52 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert shared a clip titled "NOW That's What I Call Racist" to remind you that Trump is racist whether or not Omarosa's n-word tape exists Big on the Internet, aretha franklin, Fox News, patti labelle By Rachel Leishman on Thu,5:42 You'd think that being the Queen of Soul, news outlets would focus on actual Aretha Franklin on the day of her passing. Movies, Star Trek (franchise), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock By Kate Gardner on Thu,5:40 Maybe it's nostalgia, but the original Trek films are hardly cinematic disasters. For those of us who dream about warping into the future with Starfleet, they're friendly reminders that no matter the universe, this small little space family will always be there for us to return to in our times of need. Comics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark Horse Comics, Joss Whedon By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,5:34 After four seasons and several spin-offs, Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer series is coming to an end. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Joss Whedon confirmed that the run was ending as the rights to the franchise revert back to Fox. TV, Ruth Wilson, Showtime, The Affair By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:28 Well, that's not weird or suspect at all. Big on the Internet, antisemitism, dads, white supremacy By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:24 I never thought I'd get any pleasure out of watching a conversation between two Nazis, but this clip proves anything really is possible. AMP Featured, Movies, Avengers 4, the russo brothers, wakanda By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,5:15 Joe and Anthony Russo, the directing duo responsible for a good amount of joy, grief, denial, and anger in my life, sat down to discuss every single hero in Avengers: Infinity War. What they had to say about Black Panther jumped out from the pack. Big on the Internet, folklore, mythology By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:09 Most of these involve absolutely kickass ladies of both the good and evil variety. AMP Featured, News, omarosa manigault newman, Trump, Whistleblowers By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,3:48 The only person who can destroy the Trumps is someone just as shameless and craven as they are.

Movies, academy awards, Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians By Kate Gardner on Thu,2:38 Every time I think about the Academy's newest category, it's an instant dose of rage, complete with the urge to write a myriad of think pieces on why this is a patently bad idea. The abundance of other think pieces on the subject have served as a deterrent, but today my frustrations know no bounds. So, dear readers, let's talk about my two biggest fears and frustrations with this new category, because there are pretty much two ways it can go. Books, questions, the lymond chronicles, Transmetropolitan By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,2:07 Some literary properties seem like they would absolutely shine with an on-screen treatment, yet we have not been gifted with their adaptations.
