Big on the Internet, Fox News, sexism, Tucker Carlson By Vivian Kane on Thu,2:03 On his Fox News show Wednesday, Tucker Carlson was back on one of his favorite subjects: how the world is conspiring against men. With a chyron under him reading "Men in decline as ruling class looks away," he explains how it all went wrong. Spoiler: It's women's fault. Technology, deepfake porn, Scarlett Johansson By Kate Gardner on Thu,1:28 "The fact is that trying to protect yourself from the internet and its depravity is basically a lost cause, for the most part." Movies, Avengers: Endgame, marvel, vision By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:27 Why is there a theory that Vision is the one that saves everyone when we know that Carol Danvers is on the way? News, R. Kelly By Princess Weekes on Thu,12:29 Last night, Lifetime aired the first of its three-night event docuseries, Surviving R. Kelly, highlighting the alleged sex crimes and abuses that R&B star R. Kelly has been accused of throughout his career. News, Nancy Pelosi By Rachel Leishman on Thu,11:42 Paul Ryan is no longer Speaker of the House as of today (and no one will miss him). For the second time in history, Nancy Pelosi is taking the seat. She made history in 2007 when she was named the first women to take the role of Speaker of the House. Big on the Internet, Andy Samberg, Golden Globes 2019, politics, Sandra Oh By Vivian Kane on Thu,11:20 In recent years, for obvious reasons, awards shows have grown more and more political, and usually, they're better for it. In fact, when a host now says they want to remain deliberately unpolitical, it's usually a sign that the show is going to be a bland one. Books, Animorphs, contributors By Lindsey Weedston on Thu,10:42 For my 10th birthday, my aunt bought me a book with a cover depicting a teen boy turning into a lizard. It was the first of the Animorphs—a 54-book series (not including companion books) about five teenage humans (and later one teenage alien) who find themselves up against a covert alien invasion with nothing to help them but an acquired power to morph into animals. Big on the Internet, Comedians, Comedy Central By Rachel Leishman on Wed,5:49 It's the year of our Lord 2019 and we're still dealing with all-male line-ups on comedy shows? Big on the Internet, Movies, Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean By Kate Gardner on Wed,5:24 Today, it was revealed that by removing Depp from the franchise, the studio will save about 90 million dollars, which is reportedly Depp's salary for the films. Movies, Jamie Foxx, Spawn, Todd McFarlane By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:10 A bleak, joyless superhero movie? Why does that sound so familiar? Big on the Internet, Fox & Friends, poverty By Vivian Kane on Wed,5:07 Star Parker is the founder of the Center for Urban Renewal (CURE), which claims to "address issues of culture, race and poverty from a Judeo-Christian conservative perspective," which is strange because I didn't know shaming the poor was a Judeo-Christian principle. Big on the Internet, Copyright Act By Princess Weekes on Wed,4:50 “We can’t predict what uses people are going to make of the work we make available,” Mike Furlough, executive director of HathiTrust, said in his statement to The Smithsonian. “And that’s what makes it so exciting.” |
