FILM: J.J. Abrams Explains That Lesbian Kiss…

JJ Abrams

Director JJ Abrams gave Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker the franchise’s first same-sex kiss, a fleeting moment between two inconsequential female characters near the end of the film. Abrams, who has been accused of tokenism and pandering to the franchise’s LGBTQ fans with a moment that didn’t involve real characters, was asked by Moviezine why he included it. Said Abrams: “I just felt like in this one scene of celebration, it felt like an opportunity to show – without it being, you know, heavy-handed or too loud of a deal – it was sort of part of the whole experience to … Read more

ARCHAEOLOGY: Did We Just Find the Historic Remains of a Trans Man?

skeleton - yay photos

Archaeologists have discovered “female” remains in an all-male monastic community in Mount Athos, Greece that has banned women and even female animals (except for cats) since the 10th century. The remains – which were beneath the stone floor of a Byzantine chapel – are believed to be the first-ever female remains found there, leading some to wonder whether an important woman died on the land or whether a transgender man might’ve been among the mountain’s earlier monks. Archaeologists say they found a forearm, shinbone, and sacrum (tailbone) that were shaped differently from the remains of six other men buried under … Read more

black holes - deposit photos

Do supermassive black holes have friends? The nature of galaxy formation suggests that the answer is yes, and in fact, pairs of supermassive black holes should be common in the universe. I am an astrophysicist and am interested in a wide range of theoretical problems in astrophysics, from the formation of the very first galaxies to the gravitational interactions of black holes, stars and even planets. Black holes are intriguing systems, and supermassive black holes and the dense stellar environments that surround them represent one of the most extreme places in our universe. The supermassive black hole that lurks at … Read more
