YouTube is an unparalleled community and resource. It’s the only place I’m sure to find my acting and directing work, like unseen audition clips from our Bill & Ted movies or a terrible KFC commercial I acted in as a pre-teen that my son sleuthed out. As a director of documentaries, YouTube is a mainstay for my researchers and often where we discover the most critical archive material, whatever the topic. But YouTube is also home to some of the darkest and most dangerous content online. It continues to negatively influence and radicalize users,...

Wizards of the Coast, best known as the company that publishes the popular fantasy-themed trading card game Magic: The Gathering, recently announced it would be ending its longtime partnership with artist Terese Nielsen due to the latter’s affinity with the alt-right.

For reference, Magic: The Gathering consists of hundreds of thousands of cards, each of which is fitted with astounding artwork. The company typically does not produce this artwork in-house, but outsources it to a number of independent creators. Nielsen, who had been designing cards for Wizards since the early 1990s, was one of their earliest and most prolific freelancers.

For most of her employment, Nielsen was on good terms with the company. However, in 2018, fans began noticing the artist was following an alarming amount of conspiracy theorists on Twitter, nearly all of whom are affiliated with the alt-right. From white nationalists like Stefan Molyneux and Sandy Hook-deniers such as Alex Jones,...

Leave it to Chrissy Teigen to say what everyone is thinking.  The candid star is not known for mincing words online and the latest example came late Monday when she fired back at a man calling Taylor Swift's fertility into question.  "I can't believe Taylor Swift is about to turn 30 - she still looks so young!"

"It's strange to think that 90% of her eggs are already gone - 97% by the time she turns 40 - so I hope she thinks about having kids before it's too late! She'd be a fun mom. :)."  While the songstress is about to celebrate the milestone birthday on Friday, Teigen, who has previously...

When we talk about the far right, it’s generally agreed upon that its (mostly white, mostly male) members aren’t born, but made, usually following an intense process of radicalization. But the radicalization process is akin to that of a frog being dropped in a pot of lukewarm water: The temperature has to be slowly turned up over the course of an extended period of time, degree by degree, until the frog becomes so accustomed to its surroundings that it doesn’t even realize it’s being boiled alive.

Joe Kennedy III delivered the Democrats’ response to President Donald Trump‘s first State of the Union address on Tuesday night, but some viewers of the impassioned speech were distracted by the Massachusetts representative’s shiny lips.

Social media users were intrigued to see the 37-year-old grandson of slain former Attorney General and U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy with wet, glistening lips — with many declaring that drool appeared to be coming out of the corner of his mouth.

One Twitter user dubbed him “Droolin’ Joe Kennedy,” while others compared the viral moment to Marco Rubio’s infamous water bottle...
