In a recent essay published in The Guardian Thursday, Riz Ahmed writes about facing the same quiet discrimination as his character in the HBO series The Night Of. I say quiet not because it’s not violent or hidden. In the piece, Ahmed recounts incidents in which he and his brother were held at knifepoint or got into fights on various occasions, and […]
If you aren’t into cats staring at you from every direction, this new advertising campaign will be a nightmare. But it’s also sort of adorable. In London’s Clapham Common Tube station all ads have been replaced with pictures of cats — the turnstiles, the ads on the wall, anywhere there would be an ad, there’s a cat […]
Sometimes seeing an overly mushy couple can be a little cringeworthy, even if you are one half of a good couple. Because who is that in love all the time? Some people apparently are. In fact, all the times Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have been relationship goals would probably put anything you have going on to shame. These […]

Like, we use porn for beta testing anything and then refine it for the content that matters? According to this video from Complex, virtual reality porn looks a […]
Understandably, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, who will be speaking at the Democratic convention Wednesday, wasn’t exactly the top pick of young progressives hoping to see Elizabeth Warren or some person of color on Hillary Clinton’s ticket. Aside from his unexciting old-white-man-ness, legitimate criticisms of him exist, like the sizable political donations he’s received from banks […]
On Thursday, Fox News’ CEO Roger Ailes resigned following a string of sexual harassment charges against him, along with other charges of mismanagement. An ongoing investigation of Ailes’ behavior has been carried out over the past month since former anchor Gretchen Carlson accused him of firing her for rejecting his advances, and while Ailes has resigned, […]
Ending relationships is a fucking terribly hard thing to do, and reports that Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney broke up only highlight how hard it is to keep everything together. Take a breath: it’s not yet official that the two have called off their wedding after five years together. But TMZ, the media outlet that knows […]
