Read More > Big on the Internet, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, democrats, Fox News By Vivian Kane on Tue,1:33 Earlier today, Fox & Friends talked to a guest who had attended a Democratic rally in St. Louis where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was stumping for congressional candidate Cori Bush. The conservative said she wanted to see what this "socialist message" was that's resonating so strongly with so many voters.

Read More > Big on the Internet, finn, Poe Dameron, Star Wars: The Last Jedi By Kate Gardner on Tue,11:42 The problem is, as people race to write articles and hold panels to discuss whether or not Kylo Ren legally murdered Han Solo (spoiler alert: when you stab someone through the chest with a lightsaber, that’s called murder), people are just as quick to demonize both male leads of color in the sequel trilogy while praising white characters for the same reasons in the same breath. Read More > Big on the Internet, sexism, women, women in the workplace By Vivian Kane on Tue,8:25 No matter how antiquated the idea may seem, women are rarely invited to discuss their professional accomplishments without, at some point in the conversation, being asked to frame their professional lives through the lens of their families. Read More > Big on the Internet, Mark Hamill, San Diego Comic-Con, things we saw today By Princess Weekes on Mon,5:40 Mark Hamill is the crown prince of trolling, De Niro might be in this new 'Joker' joint ,and we just saw the best nerd version of the "Distracted boyfriend" meme ever. Read More > Big on the Internet, Dan Harmon, daryl, Twitter By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,5:22 Dan Harmon deleted his Twitter account on Monday, following the reemergence of a disturbing "parody" video from 2009 that saw him simulating rape on a baby doll. Read More > Contributors, San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Supernatural By Jessica Mason on Mon,4:52 It’s not easy for a television show to make it to air in the first place, or get to a second season. It’s certainly hard to get to 100 episodes, but 300? That’s a number that’s almost unthinkable, but for Supernatural, it almost seems inevitable. Read More > Big on the Internet, media representation, muslim representation, Riz Ahmed By Kate Gardner on Mon,3:09 The Bechdel Test. The Duvernay Test. The Mako Mori Test. There are a variety of tests out there to measure a film's worth in terms of diversity and representation, and now we can add a new one to the list: the Riz Test. Read More > Big on the Internet, Amber Heard, fantastic beasts: the crimes of grindelwald, Johnny Depp By Princess Weekes on Mon,2:57 Over the weekend, with the fallout of James Gunn's termination from Disney due to the actions of the radical right propaganda artists pulling up Gunn's old tweets with rape and pedophilia jokes, there was one person whose continued success was on everyone's mind: Johnny Depp. Read More > TV, Star Trek (franchise), Star Trek: Discovery By Kaila Hale-Stern on Mon,2:26 The first-look trailer for Star Trek: Discovery's season two debuted at SDCC and I'm feeling a lot of mixed emotions. Read More > Books, Amazon, bad ideas, libraries By Vivian Kane on Mon,1:43 I don't know how we're still having this conversation but somehow, even now, in this, the year 2018, we're still having to defend libraries. Even if a person doesn't get why libraries are important, or even if they are weirdly, staunchly anti-library, you would think that by now they would have learned not to share that opinion online. Because Library Twitter is one of the smartest, most articulate, and straight-up vicious communities in the entire internet and they do not hold back. Read More > TV, Melissa Benoist, Nicole Maines, Supergirl (TV show) By Jessica Mason on Mon,1:34 This world is scary right now, and I bet many of us wish that a hero would come along and truly stand up for reason, compassion and hope in the face of the fear and hate taking hold in the news cycle. Well, those dreams may be coming true ... at least on the small screen this fall, when Supergirl returns for its fourth season. Read More > TV, 20th Century Fox, Buffy:The Vampire Slayer, ReBoot By Princess Weekes on Mon,11:41 When the news broke over the weekend announcing that Joss Whedon was not only launching a Buffy reboot but doing so with a black female lead my reaction was a very heavy sigh.

The erstwhile Eleven stars in this trailer for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the sequel to 2014's Godzilla. The film also stars Kyle Chandler and Vera Farmiga as Brown's parents, who are trying to save the world from the monster invasion.

Fans at the show's panel quickly responded with screams of delight and excitement. Wynonna herself, Melanie Scrofano, even yelled "no takebacks!" at the network execs sitting in on the panel.
