While my fellow journalists and I didn't solve the room's mysteries, we were nonetheless rewarded with the chance to interview the writer/director and stars of the upcoming thriller, Terminal, starring Margot Robbie and Simon Pegg. Read More > Big on the Internet, criminal, Lauren Spohrer, Phoebe Judge, This Is Love By Charline Jao on Wed,4:08 I had a chance to talk to co-founders Lauren Spohrer and Phoebe Judge about their podcast, a series that's less "if it bleeds, it leads" and a bit more "high profile dog napping in the 50s" or "woman in 1944 convicted under a 200-year-old Witchcraft Act".

Read More > AMP Featured, News, CIA, nolite te bastardes carborundorum, women in politics By Vivian Kane on Wed,3:39 Many of Trump's nominees for various positions have been hotly contested, but Gina Haspel, the nominee for CIA director, is a next-level nightmare. Trump praises Haspel for being "TOUGH ON TERROR" [caps his, obviously], but in this case, what that means is that she ran a "black site" torture prison in Thailand in 2002. Under Haspel's rule, the site used inhuman torture techniques, including waterboarding, on countless prisoners, including pregnant women.

But here to stay are some seriously sweet queer reads that run the gamut of young adult, comics, Romance, and beyond. The best of April reads feature fashion bloggers and high school grads, superheroines and sentient androids, would-be sleuths and fiercely competitive fencers, and much more to keep you well and truly entertained in the month ahead. Read More > News, elections, feminism, women in politics By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,12:55 If there is a silver lining to the Trump presidency, it's that the election of the Misogynist-in-Chief has inspired record numbers of women to run for office.
