Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched frightening Texas legislation move from the state House, to the state Senate, to the desk of the state’s radical anti-choice governor, who on Tuesday signed off on it. The bill will ban private insurance coverage of abortion for women even in cases of rape, unless women buy a supplement plan in advance, earning the bill the beloved colloquial title “rape insurance.”

Artist Ai Weiwei is capturing the "staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact" in his new film Human Flow.

A couple of days ago, we watched with heartbreak as Susan Bro, mother of Charlottesville activist Heather Heyer, spoke at a memorial service for her daughter. She spoke to the fact that she wanted her daughter's death to count for something, and encouraged all of us not to let it have been in vain, but to fight injustice as her daughter no doubt would have continued to do. Bro is now putting that into practice.

If you stuck around for season two's start, you did so because of the characters that were left, and you probably would have wondered why you were still watching. You would have also quickly found yourself watching a show that put one of the most prominent portrayals of a bisexual superhero in media front and center.

Riverdale dropped a new promo yesterday titled "Desperate Times" that makes the next, 22-episode season look like an intense and bloody crime thriller.

I guess if you're going to be stuck at a stop light, it may as well be one where you're being entertained by James Corden, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and a wonderful musical cast as they perform Hair.

Trump Chief Strategist/former Breitbart head Steve Bannon is finally on the way out, and we could not be more thrilled.

Sure, it's "just a joke," and Fey is a comedian, not an activist. But that justification just feels lazy when the comedian in question is talking about violent racists on an ostensibly political show. And most definitely not when that comedian is someone a lot of women look up to–specifically a lot of white women, who, as a group, have consistently and historically been given endless permission for complacency.

With the story centering around Nanjiani during his earlier days of comedy and guest stars like Aidy Bryant, Bo Burnham, and Kurt Braunohler, the film is full of great banter and short clips of stand-up. But Anupam Kher and Ray Romano steal the scene with their great dad jokes.

If anyone can watch this documentary from the events in Charlottesville and still walk away talking about the sins of "both sides," we're in big trouble.

Now, more than ever, we need a Punisher series. Check out the teaser trailer after the jump.

With Trump's inaction and lack of condemnation for the hate that drove the white nationalists in Charlottesville, they group issued the letter "[effective] immediately." “Ignoring your hateful rhetoric would have made us complicit in your words and actions,” it states.

Wonder Woman was, by all accounts, a massive hit, which has had us closely following whether or not its director, Patty Jenkins, would return for the sequel that Warner Bros. is suddenly very eager to get off the ground. As you'd expect, that level of success gives Jenkins a powerful negotiation tool, and she's now reportedly close to closing a deal to bring us the next installment in the franchise.

Your childhood is vanishing, one animatronic at a time.

Yesterday, Black Panther co-creator and Marvel legend, Stan Lee, gave the actor playing the iconic character, Chadwick Boseman, his blessing.

In the midst of all the horrible things happening in our country right now, there was a Twitter thread I came across a couple of days ago that not only made me sad, but made me very afraid of the ways in which we are all complicit in a culture of male violence. Especially since that male violence seems to be manifesting itself right now in the form of white nationalism. 

There's been a lot of Nazi news this week—in fact, the only reason I hesitate to say there's been too much is that if there are Nazis, ignoring them is not the way to make them go away. There's also been a lot of talk lately over the relative morality of punching them, and it looks like Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch is coming down firmly on the pro-punching side.
