It's easy, on the week of Halloween, to forget that witches (and warlocks) were not always seen as fun characters to dress up as or the villains in scary stories. Historically, they were men and women who were discriminated against, persecuted and often killed with nothing more than hearsay as evidence.

Michelle MacLaren! She does great action, I would be on board for that. Time to step it up, though, Marvel. Obligatory WHERE IS MY BLACK WIDOW MOVIE?

Coke Zero taste like ass. I'm perfectly happy drinking regular Coke. And all you Pepsi people are disgusting.

She's a high school senior who has sex with the cop investigating her mother's disappearance. So....creepy and uncomfortable was the point (the movie overall is a study in creepy).

In the book she's a teenager who has an affair with an adult man... so that big age gap is actually the point!

Right? It's Taylor Swift. If Taylor Swift tried to write a song about the mean streets and how mean they can be that would go over like a lead balloon. Girlfriend leads a charmed life so she writes songs about that.

Yeah, because Swedish sub builders can learn so much from a Russian boat. I doubt there is any vodka left either.

In 1976, a young Dustin Hoffman was shooting one of the biggest movies of his career - Marathon Man. (...) To put himself in the mindset of a man losing control Hoffman didn't sleep for days at a time and let his body become disheveled and unhealthy. Finally, after all this work Hoffman notices his co-star Sir…

I love that the Sisterhood girls are all friends IRL. And I bet the other 3 all roll their eyes at Preserve when Blake isn't around.

Rare photo of a Lada class sub in action.

I just looked this up recently. Yes, Conroy's eye is now permanently fucked up. She was in a bad car accident where it was injured and subsequent surgery was not successful. When she auditioned for season one she asked if her gimp eye would be a problem, and they wrote it into Moyra's character. The way her eye looked…

Forget the tri-breasts. Can we discuss the weirdness of Dandy?!

How can you bring up last night's episode and NOT talk about Dandy??!

That's the problem with being a woman who studies history (and why I quit being a history major). Male "historians" (*cough* George Will *cough*) can plagiarize, make shit up, etc. and they're a hero. Female historians open their mouths and there are twenty men yelling "I WANT TO SEE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENTATION".

I know it's probably heretical to say, but Taylor Swift seems calculating as fuck.

Kat -

I, too, went to Catholic school (k-12), was baptized / confirmed of my own volition, left (for personal reasons and an inability to square the God circle), and find myself often explaining that, yeah the church is fucked up but when it makes progress it's good because the church has serious sway with a metric…

Troll harder.

Turkey should be, politely, asked to leave NATO. They comfortably sit back and watch ISIS try to destroy the Kurds while full well knowing that if ISIS crosses the border NATO will come to their rescue. By not helping the Kurds, Turkey will pay the price. The peace negotiations with the Turkish Kurds will fall by the…
