Another man was injured. When I first heard about the two men who were killed, my initial instinct was “Oh my God, I hope it’s not someone I know!” I remember a time late last year when a certain man in a red hat rose to lead the nation. At the time, I was working in a company that had a huge presence in the Portland area and I had grown quite close to some…

A man carrying weapons and insisting he was the real-life embodiment of Marvel’s vigilante, The Punisher, was arrested at Phoenix Comicon Thursday after he told authorities he was targeting “bad police officers,” according to The Phoenix New Times. According to court documents, it was later discovered that the man, 31-year-old Matthew Sterling had a vendetta against “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” star Jason David Frank, who played the Green Ranger. Police said they later found a notation on Sterling’s calendar the day he was at Comicon that simply read “Kill JDF.” Sterling, was in possession of four firearms and “several knives” at…

All intervened in response to a hate speech tirade against a Muslim train passenger. On Facebook, a “Jeremey Christian” from Portland praised comic books, pot, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. He wrote: “May all the Gods Bless Timothy McVeigh a TRUE PATRIOT!!!” while introducing a poem on his page. Mr. Chritian also denigrated…

It’s tough to avoid the current political climate thanks to daily headlines that feel straight out of a reality show. TV series don’t have to address a specific current event, but they can be inspiration for core themes concerning politics, feminism, ideology or any number of things. To put it simply, shows this year talked about President Donald Trump… even if they didn’t do it directly. “Supergirl” The CW show is blunt about its ties to feminism. However, “Supergirl” stepped up its game in Season 2 with not-so-subtle jabs at the Trump presidency and the conversation around it, including one…

Newly-elected Montana congressman Greg Gianforte used his victory speech Thursday night to apologize for attacking Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs. “I should not have treated that reporter that way, and for that, I’m sorry Mr. Ben Jacobs,” Gianforte said, drawing cheers from his supporters.

An interview with Fox News was being set up at the time, and Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna later backed up Jacob’s version of…

The hideous slaying of second lieutenant Richard W. Collins III on the University of Maryland campus did more than evoke heartfelt grief and sorrow over the snuffing out of a young, hopeful, and high achieving young man’s life. It also again cast an ugly glare on the gaping double standard in how black lives matter versus those of white lives. Let’s go through the agonizing, but by now all too familiar, checklist of things that are terribly wrong with how his death has been treated. First, there’s the alleged assailant, Sean Urbanski, a young white man. The tributes to Collins…

The spirit of independent cinema is alive and well, but it’s also grown frustratingly familiar. Go to Sundance or SXSW, and you’ll find a bevy of meandering movies built on the existential despair of middle-aged white men, quotidian characters who are often despondent, divorced, or both. Their unrest is the crux of the movie. But while brother directors Joshua and Ben Safdie (“Heaven Knows What”) find themselves trafficking this territory (their films are economical, efficient), the art itself stands out. Their narrative interests are singular; the stories they’re interested in relaying to the world are not common or, for that matter, comfortable. The…
