During SDCC audiences were able to get a sneak peek at the upcoming season of Steven Universe with an episode that not only showed us Blue and Yellow Diamond being nice-ish, but also revealed the Queen D herself: White Diamond. Looking like a sparkly Cruella de Vil.

Rekognition misidentified 28 members of Congress as matching those mugshots, which is only a five percent error rate if you're taking into account the 535 members total. But among non-white members of Congress, the error rate shoots to 39%. Six of those misidentified were members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who had already penned an open letter to Amazon's Jeff Bezos, urging him to stop selling this face recognition technology to police.

Don't you love it when bad things happen to bad people? YouTube pulled four videos posted by Alex Jones' alt-right Infowars channel for violating policies against hate speech and graphic content. Anyone familiar with Infowars already knows it's a cesspool of racism, lies, and phony supplement infomercials, but this time they apparently crossed the line.

Twitter has been saying for a while that they're trying to curb "troll-like behaviors." Every time they make a push for that, white supremacists and conspiracy theorists take the brunt of it and people get mad that "conservatives" are being censored.

While Omaze has some pretty incredible campaigns, the ones geared towards Wonder Woman especially have been out of this world. The first was a trip to the Los Angeles premiere, where you would meet the stars and be their guest on the carpet! While that was amazing, this is even better! Getting to be in a Wonder Woman movie? Especially one where you get to dress like it's the '80s?

The Writers Guild of America West has conducted a sexual harassment survey among its members, and the results are (depressingly) unsurprising.

Peter Bart and Mike Fleming Jr. wrote about the dangers of removing Scarlett Johansson from Rub & Tug comparing it to the incident going on with James Gunn saying that the LGBTQ community " have made it nearly impossible to get made films like Brokeback Mountain and Dallas Buyers Club" made.

Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers joined forces to remind James Comey that no one cares what he thinks is best for the Democratic Party.

Having an opinion on the ending of your favorite movie can make people testy. We all love our favorites for specific, often personal, reasons. Whether it's just something we enjoy watching when we're down or because it's highlighted as one of the greatest movies ever created, we appreciate cinema in all its very nuanced forms.
