News, history, slavery By Princess Weekes on Fri,4:32 Ancestry.com released an advertisement of a Black enslaved woman being stopped by a white man, in the rain, with him proposing to her that they go up North so that they could be together. Yikes. Movies, Max Landis By Kate Gardner on Fri,4:12 The screenwriter's newest films might be "distanced" from him, but he doesn't deserve a comeback overall. Movies, Mark Hamill By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:49 Does Disney really have a choice when it comes to Mark Hamill? As he puts it, what are they going to do? Fire him? News, donald trump By Dan Van Winkle on Fri,3:18 He's been fact checked to infinity and back again, with flagrantly false statements flying left and right, never acknowledging his errors or backing down. In fact, he's proud of the fact that he never admits he's wrong, and his defenders follow right along. Why would this be any different? TV, Star Trek (franchise), Star Trek: Discovery By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,2:16 I wish that there was a better, kinder word with which to describe Star Trek: Discovery's season finale, "Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2." But the episode, a loud and clangy combustion of an already hard-to-follow season, was like Discovery's normal bombastic pitch turned up past eleven. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, marvel, Paul Rudd By Rachel Leishman on Fri,2:11 Marvel has a weird way of promoting their films. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, Steve Rogers By Kate Gardner on Fri,1:08 For those of us who love Steve Rogers, Infinity War seemed like a bit of a letdown. Movies, Avengers: Endgame, Robert Downey Jr. By Rachel Leishman on Fri,12:54 Are we surprised? If anyone was going to know the entire outcome of Avengers: Endgame, it would make sense that it would be Robert Downey Jr. News, LGBTQ issues, Megan Fox By Princess Weekes on Fri,12:46 Megan Fox took to social media to speak up against the anti-LGBTQ bills in Tennessee, which is as good a time as any to remind everyone that she is bisexual and not a straight ally. TV, donald trump, Game of Thrones By Rachel Leishman on Fri,12:29 It brings me no joy going to Donald Trump's Twitter and seeing that he's making Game of Thrones references, but it also isn't a new thing. For some unknown reason, Trump loves to play off of the show, like everyone else who's ever been out of touch and tried to make a pop culture reference they didn't understand. Books, Antiques Roadshow, Charlotte Brontë By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:44 On the latest episode of Antiques Roadshow, a lock of hair in a ring discovered in a Welsh attic is “very likely” to have been the hair of Charlotte Brontë, according to the Brontë Society, which is probably even bigger news than anything that happened on Game of Thrones last week. News, Bernie Sanders, contributors, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Fri,9:58 Sanders was asked by one of the town hall moderators whether he believes “that a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy up until the moment of birth.” He gave a pro-choice answer of course, but even that helps to legitimize a bad-faith question about a fictitious scenario. Big on the Internet, Star Wars (franchise), Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, things we saw today By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,5:55 File this under truly eerie and totally cool. A Tweet has been unearthed from 2012—sent by a seemingly random user—that broadcast information kept under tight secrecy about 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' until last week. News, Conspiracy Theories, Robert Mueller, The Mueller Report By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:51 No secret Democratic arrests. No deep state. No pizza. Big on the Internet, Game of Thrones, Trump, White House By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,5:48 Who would the rogues gallery of White House employees be in the world of Game of Thrones? Gaming, Magic: The Gathering, War of the Spark By Princess Weekes on Thu,5:42 Nic Kelman, the head of story and entertainment at WotC, revealed that the upcoming 'War of the Spark' story will change the game’s multiverse forever. Movies, cosplay, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker By Kate Gardner on Thu,5:29 The second I saw Rey's new look in the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker teaser, my first thoughts were that I simply had to cosplay it in the near future and that it was a fascinating choice for her final outing. News, 2016 presidential election, donald trump, Hillary Clinton, politics By Vivian Kane on Thu,4:05 Trump's involvement aside, if Russian operatives are known to have not just tried but succeeded in tampering with our presidential election, why are the results of that election still being honored as valid? Big on the Internet, Avengers: Endgame, The Avengers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,2:54 In the segment Just One Question: Avengers Endgame Edition, Late Show staffers and folks off the street pose questions to the Avengers. News, meghan markle, prince harry, the royals By Princess Weekes on Thu,2:19 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have decided to celebrate their first born child in private rather than thrust it into the public eye at .12 seconds old, so of course, some are nettled by that because of "royal protocol." |
