Big on the Internet, Carrie Fisher By Rachel Leishman on Fri,2:18 The best Carrie Fisher quote of all may still be "Take your broken heart, make it into art" and with that, we will. News, donald trump, paul manafort, Robert Mueller, White Collar By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:01 Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, has been sentenced to just shy of four years in prison for bank and tax fraud. His crimes were uncovered by the Mueller investigation into his connections to Russia and his work in Ukraine, but they don't directly relate to his work on the Trump campaign. Of course, that doesn't stop Trump from thinking he's been exonerated. AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, contributors, history, International Women's Day By Birgitte Søland on Fri,12:24 It was early March when an electronic greeting card dropped into my mailbox. The cover featured a colorful depiction of a young female figure playfully applying lipstick, surrounded by flowers and butterflies, along with the text, “Happy Women’s Day.” To be honest, I was a bit baffled. Movies, Brie Larson, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers By Rachel Leishman on Fri,12:21 When Carol Danvers had to take on a whole flock of men and women, we knew she could do it because she had the power of Gwen Stefani and No Doubt singing "Just a Girl" behind her. TV, contributors, Netflix, YOU By Lacy Baugher on Fri,12:06 Joe is, in fact, a dirtbag who kills people, even if he does have an oddly adorable demeanor a lot of the time, but the real downside to everyone’s Joe crush is that it’s distracting us all from properly appreciating the true and best breakout character of You: Peach Salinger. News, abortion, contributors, week in reproductive justice By Kylie Cheung on Fri,10:17 Last month, an Alabama man filed a lawsuit against an abortion clinic on behalf of an aborted fetus, asserting the fetus had “died” in a “wrongful death” when his ex-girlfriend had an abortion, and this week, in a terrifying but ultimately unsurprising move considering the growing power of the fetal personhood movement, an Alabama court has accepted the lawsuit. Big on the Internet, Idris Elba, Suicide Squad 2, things we saw today By Kate Gardner on Thu,5:31 Idris Elba is in talks to take on the mantle of Deadshot for the film. Big on the Internet, donald trump, Fox News, nolite te bastardes carborundorum By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:23 Fox News has the largest audience of any cable news network. Fans would likely say that's because it's the best news network. In reality, Fox mixes entertainment with fear mongering in such a way that millions of Americans are automatically going to be attracted to it. It's also the absolute perfect fit for Trump, a man who built a persona in reality television and ran a presidential campaign based on fear, racism, and xenophobia. TV, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Lin-Manuel Miranda By Rachel Leishman on Thu,5:12 Tonight, we get to see Lin-Manuel Miranda take on the role of Amy's big brother! Big on the Internet, Batman (character), Bats, DC Comics By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,5:07 Like, BEST-case scenario here is that Austin gets covered in bat guano. Movies, LGBTQ Representation, marvel studios, superheroes By Kaila Hale-Stern on Thu,4:32 The sentiments expressed by Marvel production chief Victoria Alonso are spot-on. Please forgive my skepticism. |
