News, Black women, racism, riots By Chelsea Steiner on Sun,1:09 As cities across America are ignited with righteous anger and thousands of people take to the streets to protest our country's systemic racism and police brutality, our leaders are nowhere to be found. Big on the Internet, NASA, SpaceX, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,5:57 The launch, which was originally scheduled for earlier this week, was delayed due to bad weather.

Big on the Internet, French Revolution, Louis XVI, Twitter By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,2:54 Big on the Internet, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, Trump By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,12:50 Zuckerberg has made it quite clear that in the culture war, he is firmly on Team Trump. Big on the Internet, J.K. Rowling, TERF, transphobia By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,8:44 J.K. Rowling accidentally copy-pasted a line about an incident involving a trans activist into a tweet. Movies, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark By Rachel Leishman on Fri,5:29 Happy birthday to the man who built the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark! News, CNN, George Floyd, omar jimenez By Vivian Kane on Fri,5:06 Minnesota's governor, Tim Waltz, called the arrest "unacceptable," but also called it "inadvertent."

Movies, Luke Skywalker, Star Wars (franchise) By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:17 It isn't new knowledge that Luke Skywalker's name was originally Luke Starkiller, but what is fascinating (and new to me) is that the name change came because of ... the Manson murders? Movies, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Twitter By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:25 Instead of just waiting to watch the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe either straight through based on their release dates, or even just vaguely in a chronological sense, you can actually watch it scene by scene, based on the oldest moment in the MCU and going forward. It seems like a lot, but also ... now I want to do it. Movies, Birds of Prey (film), DC Comics, Harley Quinn By Princess Weekes on Fri,3:05 Despite her relatively short life as a major part of DC Canon, first appearing in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992, Harley Quinn is considered to be, after the Big 3, one of the most profitable and popular DC characters—hence she has shown up a lot in recent film and television, but we aren't out of the Harley-fever just yet.

Now, writer L.L McKinney and illustrator Robyn Smith are teaming up with DC Entertainment to give Nubia her own story in Nubia: Real One. Big on the Internet, Savage Garden, tiktok By Rachel Leishman on Fri,11:37 Sometimes, you see something on the internet and it just won't leave you alone and that's what happened to me with this TikTok of a dream pub scenario where we all just sing "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden together.
