We’re nearing on halfway through 2018, and this year has already been a huge one for reproductive rights. States like Missouri and Iowa have passed some of the most extreme anti-abortion laws since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, the Supreme Court is slated to make a landmark decision about anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers, and later this month, Ireland will participate in a referendum on whether to repeal the country’s ban on abortion.

Yesterday, we heard the sad news that the hit Fox show Brooklyn Nine-Nine had been canceled, with Season Five being its final season. Fans immediately jumped on the hope that a streaming service would step in to save the show and give it new life. Well, it seems that this isn't just a fan pipe dream. Several companies have already made their desire to pick up the show known.

The dust is finally starting to settle after Avengers: Infinity War (too soon?), and new movies are beginning to rise out of the box office ashes (yeah, feels too soon). Thankfully, the next two big releases look a lot less heavy than Marvel's latest offering, and thanks to the premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story and Deadpool 2 press screenings, we now have some tiny tidbits of information to parse before full reviews are allowed.

One of the best things about Black Panther was that T'Challa as a character was someone who was wise enough to heed the advice and guidance of the powerful women in his life, even his genius little sister. Director Ryan Coogler leaned into that, giving each of the women a chance to shine. Currently at the Cannes Film Festival being a boss, Coogler said in an interview that he would happily lean into that even further...maybe even into a female-led Black Panther spinoff.

After five-season the Emmy award-winning Fox television show Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been canceled by Fox.

Jessica Chastain is single-handedly making Hollywood a better place for women. Her latest effort is 355, a large scale spy thriller that brings together five international super-spies who have to learn to get along to destroy their common enemy. The film features Chastain teaming up with Lupita Nyong'o, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, and Fan Bingbing. The film will be written by Theresa Rebeck (Smash) and directed by Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Dark Phoenix).

More than 40 years into its existence, 2017 was Dungeons & Dragons’ biggest year ever, and not by a small margin. 12-15 million people played D&D in North America in 2017. The company behind the game, Wizards of the Coast, saw a growth in sales that was about 40% over their numbers the year before. And while it’s still early, all signs point to 2018 being even bigger.

The teaser trailer has dropped for The Predator, and I am un-ironically excited for this film. The reboot of the popular testosterone-fueled film franchise is directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3), who played Hawkins in the 1987 classic. Hawkins, as you may remember, was the "funny" one of the crew, who kept up a running stream of racist, sexist commentary before being quickly dispatched by the Predator.

#MuteRKelly had gotten another victory as Spotify announced today that it will be removing R. Kelly's music from their playlists.

When Brock Turner was convicted on three counts of felony sexual assault, the maximum punishment for his crimes was 14 years in prison. But the judge in the case, Aaron Persky, chose to sentence Turner to only six months. He was released after three. While there's satisfaction and comfort in the relatively rare act of seeing a rapist be found guilty, that wisp of a slap on the wrist was a direct reminder that rape culture still very much exists.

A world wherein women hold all the cards is much harder to imagine than The Handmaid's Tale's dystopia, yet that's what Naomi Alderman has tackled in The Power.

Deadpool—and his better half, Ryan Reynolds—have been trolling Avengers: Infinity War, but the Russo brothers are striking back.

There are a lot of things you can't do while black and now, napping in your dorm's common room is one of them.

Ladies Get Paid is a female-owned and operated organization with the mission of offering women and non-binary people the education, tools, and resources to close the wage gap and move forward (and upward) in their careers. Of course, any time women do anything that's "women only" to offset lifetimes of systemic discrimination, there are certain men who cry things like "reverse discrimination!" Ladies Get Paid has been sued by a "men's rights" organization, and they could use your help.

When it comes to shopping for headphones, there are often tradeoffs—like if you’re getting a wireless pair, you can sometimes expect the sound quality to suffer. But not always. Case in point: the TREBLAB X11 earphones, now $36.99 — a savings of 81% — at the Mary Sue Shop.

Annette Bening is signing on to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Captain Marvel film. The film, starring Brie Larson in the titular role, will be the first female-led Marvel film, as well as the first one to feature a female director. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson) are directing the film, which has already begun production.

Samantha Bee has no patience for Eric Schneiderman, Charlie Rose, or any other accused serial abuser. She's done.
