In the time it’s taken for Rayna to sleep with one man, or for ­Scarlett (Nashville’s other blonde ingenue) to break up with one boyfriend and land another, Juliette has seduced Rayna’s songwriting partner, shoplifted, stormed out of an interview with Good Morning America, married and divorced an NFL quarterback, and had a business-plus-pleasure relationship with her addict mother’s sober companion. Panettiere doesn’t blink an eye at that list, or at the prospect of more misbehavior. “Oh, I’m game for anything,” she says. [Hayden Panettiere on Nashville’s Season Two — Vulture]

Roxane Gay tells us what it means to be a “bad feminist.”

“I fall short as a feminist. I feel like I am not as committed as I need to be, that I am not living up to feminist ideals because of who and how I choose to be. I feel this tension constantly.”

[Austin at SXSW 2013: Trieste Kelly Dunn ‘Loves Her Gun’ | Slackerwood] It’s fun playing someone who isn’t “likable.”As an actress you’re often told things like [be] more sweet, smile more, flirt more, be warmer. Fuck that. That’s not the whole picture. That usually comes from network TV directors who need you to play into an idea of how they think women ought to be or what they think viewers want to see.It’s nice not having to do that sort of acting in independent films. At this moment in her life, I like that [Allie] is a fuck up and makes bad choices and isn’t reasonable. What’s the fun of being reasonable? Reasonable is not fun for an actor.

You know the Broome Street Bar on Broadway in Soho? I used to be the bouncer for that bar — but I never got in a fight. One guy who was giving me trouble, I looked him smack in the eye and I asked him, “Are you Puerto Rican?” And he was like, “What? Are you kidding? Are you racist?” But he was Puerto Rican. And I said, “I’m directing a Puerto Rican theater workshop, I’ll give you the info, you should come down and do it sometime. But you’re drunk and making too much noise here, so you gotta go.” So he left, and he came to the workshop. That workshop saved my ass, because that was not a good situation — eventually, you’re going to get whacked.

A friend told me this story that she had a friend who was at the airport, and there was a cute guy waiting on a delayed flight near her. He had headphones on and was watching Game Of Thrones. In the past, would he have been bored and struck up a conversation? Maybe? But we’ll never know, because he had his goddamn headphones on and didn’t even see her. We just isolate ourselves with all this media, and we might be cutting ourselves off to amazing experiences. Sadly, you’re never gonna hear this story: “And then I pulled off his headphones and closed his laptop and said, ‘Hey, I’m Marie.’” Actually, that’d be amazing. Some girl please do that to me. I would love that. Actually, I might get really startled and scared that you are going to murder me, so maybe no? I don’t know.

In 2001, 15-year-old Andy Williams opened fire at his high school, killing two classmates and wounding 13. What drove Williams to commit such an act?

Science correspondent Miles O’ Brien spoke with Williams and his father to gain insight into the mind of a rampage killer. Watch the interviews here

To avoid passing tipping points, such as initiation of the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, we need to limit the climate forcing severely. It’s still possible to do that, if we phase down carbon emissions rapidly, but that means moving expeditiously to clean energies of the future. … Moving to tar sands, one of the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fuels on the planet, is a step in exactly the opposite direction, indicating either that governments don’t understand the situation or that they just don’t give a damn. … People who care should draw the line.
Scientific American interviewed NASA climatologist James Hansen, who has been warning about the dangers of climate change since 1988, about the proposed construction of the Keystone Pipeline XL to transport oil from Canadian tar sands to the United States. We’ll be talking about Keystone, and the president’s renewed interest in combating climate change, this weekend. (via upwithchris)
One of my good friends is a very successful novelist. I was with her when she was approached by another (male) writer who was attempting to deride her work: ‘Aren’t all your books about the same thing?’ My friend asked him what he meant by that. He replied without missing a beat — ‘Well, aren’t they all about women?’
