Kayleigh McEnany Called Coronavirus Prevention Measures “Orwellian” Because She’s a Joke

Kayleigh McEnany scolds reporters during a press briefing.

Basically, I think someone just off-handedly said "Orwellian" near Kayleigh McEnany and she suddenly thought she knew what it meant.

Baby’s First Anime Crushes

There's a meme going around Twitter where, without posting your age, you reveal your first anime crushes. Initially, I thought Twitter's 4 picture limit wouldn't be enough space, and I was right, but I've managed to narrow it down to four.

Republican Senators Won’t Admit Donald Trump Lost but Are Congratulating Kamala Harris on … Things

US Vice President-elect and Senator (D-CA) Kamala Harris arrives for a vote on the Senate floor of the US Capitol

Most Republican lawmakers still refuse to publicly admit that Joe Biden won the presidential election. So why are they congratulating Kamala Harris?

Amazon’s High-Drama YA Series The Wilds Looks Fascinating

The first trailer for Amazon's new YA series The Wilds, promises a harrowing look at teen girlhood in a series that I think we could describe as 'Lost' meets 'Pretty Little Liars.'

Adventure Time: Distant Lands – Obsidian Features PB and Marcy Not Just as a Queer Couple, but as Queer Characters

Hynden Walch and Olivia Olson in Adventure Time: Distant Lands (2020)

The goal of LGBTQ representation is not just to highlight relationships; it is to also deliver the fullness of the lives of queer people. "Obsidian" allows us to see PB and Marcy not simply as a couple, but as queer characters without subtext for the first time while still having new adventures. That is exciting, and I can't wait to watch it and cry.

Will & Lyra Meeting on His Dark Materials Is Already All I Want to Talk About

Lyra and Will on HBO's His Dark Materials.

I’m not ashamed to admit that a good old-fashioned OTP can take a series I’m already enjoying up several notches, and that’s exactly what HBO's His Dark Materials is doing in the second season now that Lyra and Will have met. If you’ve read Phillip Pullman’s books, you already know, but it’s not a spoiler if you’ve seen the first episode of season 2 that a slow burn teen romance is brewing. They are literally each other’s destiny, and besides that, they’re so stinking cute!

Despite The Spanish Queen promising to be the last of the War of The Roses/Tudor specific era of the monarchy, they are going to be heading further back in an anthology series about "lesser known" women from history starting with Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Ivanka Trump Farting and Blaming Someone Else is the Trump Ethos in a Nutshell

I hope the America never forgets the crimes and cruelty of the Trump family, although I fear that in a few years we'll likely see one of the Trumps on Dancing with the Stars.

The Tom and Jerry Movie Trailer Dropped and I? Like It?!

Now see, if it were me? I wouldn't wanna deal with a sassy mouse like Jerry, so I'd let him enjoy his soak in the tub and deliver him some cheese to keep him under control during the wedding. Instead, Tom is brought in to deal with Jerry, cuz movie gotta movie.

How The Crown Covers the Princess, the Queen & the Prime Minister

Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin, and Olivia Colman in The Crown (2016)

Unsurprisingly, I spent the last two days binge-watching the fourth season of Netflix's hit period drama The Crown, covering the eleven-and-a-half-year administration of Margaret Thatcher, the marriage of Diana Spencer to Prince Charles, and the growing changes between Queen Elizabeth II and her many families.

The Never-Ending Conversation on Releasing Wonder Woman 1984 to Streaming Just Continues On

Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Maybe 2020 is just a wash for big blockbusters after March. But until we have more information on what Warner Bros. actually has planned, I'd love to stop this cat and mouse game because it truly is exhausting.

“Release the Kraken” Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Does, Trumpsters

MAGAs on social media are calling for the release of a mythical monster that didn't even belong in the story it's known for as a metaphor for releasing evidence (that doesn't exist). And that doesn't even touch on the fact that THE KRAKEN LOSES.
