The Winner of Last Night’s Debate Was Rep. Barbara Lee (Who Was Not Even There)

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) speaks from a podium at the Impeachment Now! rally

Beauty Guru Nikkie Tutorials Came Out as a Trans Woman, but Under Distressing Circumstances

nikki tutorials coming out
Nikkie Tutorials is one of those names in the Beauty YouTube world you just know. She's up there with Jackie Aina with me as one of the most creative and fun faces on YouTube. When I initially saw her trending on Twitter, I was absolutely nervous that it was another beauty-race drama, but instead, it was the hard story of seeing Nikkie Tutorials get forced to come out as transgender because of blackmail.

Steven Moffat’s Dracula and the Problem With How We Write About Cancer

Dracula and Van Helsing
This time, it's Stephen Moffat's turn to try to pump new life into this undead story, which, of course, means he’s (for better or worse) going to try to be really clever about it. And while it provides a fresh take on an old story in certain regards—making Van Helsing a badass Dutch nun, pointing out how useless John and Mina are, making the horror and gore feel like a bad ether trip—there were also several fumbles, the most egregious of which I am here to write about today. The ending.

Billie Eilish Doing a Song for No Time to Die Is Perfect

Daniel Craig is James Blond ... I mean Bond
When thinking of songs to fit in with the spy world of James Bond, even Adele was not on my radar, and yet we saw how big "Skyfall" ended up being. So, when news broke that Billie Eilish was set to give us the latest "Bond Song" with her brother (and songwriting partner), I found myself extremely excited.
