Read More > Big on the Internet, Amber Ruffin, Late Night with Seth Meyers, things we saw today By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,6:12 Amber Ruffin has long been the best part of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Between "Amber Says What" and "Jokes Seth Can't Tell", the scene-stealing comic is a force to be reckoned with. This week, in light of the epidemic of white ladies calling the cops on black people just for existing, Amber dresses up as 80's pop star Rockwell and sings "White Women Watching Me", a brilliant take on "Somebody's Watching Me." Give this woman her own damn show already! Read More > Big on the Internet, food, noms, restaurants By Chelsea Steiner on Wed,5:59 These themed pop-ups had us thinking about some of our favorite fictional restaurants. Here's a list of the places we'd love to grab a bite. Read More > News, nolite te bastardes carborundorum, SCOTUS By Vivian Kane on Wed,5:58 This week has seen a rash of upsetting Supreme Court rulings, including the upholding of Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban, deciding misleadingly named "crisis pregnancy centers" don't have to reveal their anti-abortion agendas, and issuing a damaging blow to unions' negotiating power. It may have felt like SCOTUS news couldn't have gotten any worse. I miss that feeling.

Read More > AMP Featured, Big on the Internet, Donald Glover, Rashida Jones, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Wed,1:38 In the #MeToo and Time's Up era of finally taking sexual harassment–especially workplace harassment–seriously, there are still far too many men who find these "new rules" confusing or even scary. These men bemoan the fact that you can't even give a woman a hug anymore and they see the only reasonable solution (more reasonable than not harassing women, apparently) as to stop hiring women altogether. Read More > News, politics By Kylie Cheung on Wed,1:24 Amid the “civility” debates about whether Trump officials are still entitled to basic politeness, which have frustratingly seized and redirected attention from the mass humanitarian crisis created by this administration, pundits and right-wing politicians are constructing a false equivalence, and it’s one that is all too familiar to people of color, women, and every other group that is routinely vilified for having the audacity to raise their voice in the face of oppression.
