Oh, they’re not. No f/f ship on the show is…yet. But Tig’s character was married to a woman (who died before we got to her).
Bomb threat prompts evacuation of Jewish Children’s Museum
Bomb threat prompts evacuation of Jewish Children’s Museum
The Jewish Children’s Museum in Brooklyn was evacuated Thursday after staffers received a frightening email saying several pipe bombs were hidden in the building, officials said.
Cops raced to the museum on Eastern Parkway near Kingston Ave. in Crown Heights after the email was received at about 9:30 a.m., officials said.
The building was cleared and cops were in the process of a floor-by-floor bomb search.
…The email was directed to the Jewish Children’s Museum “concerning museum security,” according to the threat, which was acquired by the Daily News.
“A group of individuals who I used to work for… have successfully planted pipe bombs at the museum and the devices are set to go of today at a busy hour of the day,” the email read. “To my knowledge I am aware there are three pipe bombs scattered throughout the museum. They will be detonated via cellphone that my group leader has in his possession.”
The person making the threat said the bomb plot had been hammered out for months — and that a museum staffer helped plant the bombs.
“This is going to be a well planned attack,” the email writer said, explaining that he had decided to tip off museum workers after a change of conscience.
…Opened in 2005, the institution is the largest Jewish-themed children’s museum in the United States.
I’m doing that thing where you apply rationality to obviously irrational people. But who the hell calls in a bomb threat to a CHILDREN’S museum. My heart is in my throat.
The same type of terrorist who calls in bomb threats to Jewish facilities that have preschool or day school programs.

Gwen Ifill dies at age 61
Gwen Ifill, the longtime PBS news anchor who had served as a co-host of PBS’s NewsHour and as moderator of “Washington Week,” has died, PBS has confirmed. She was 61.
“I am very sad to tell you that our dear friend and beloved colleague Gwen Ifill passed away today in hospice care in Washington,” WETA president and CEO Sharon percy Rockefeller wrote in an email to staff at the public TV station Monday. “I spent an hour with her this morning and she was resting comfortably, surrounded by loving family and friends… Earlier today, I conveyed to Gwen the devoted love and affection of all of us at WETA/NewsHour. Let us hold Gwen and her family even closer now in our hearts and prayers.”
Ifill had been absent from PBS’s election coverage last week due to ongoing health issues. She also took a leave of absence from the public broadcaster in May to address those issues.
“Gwen was a standard bearer for courage, fairness and integrity in an industry going through seismic change. She was a mentor to so many across the industry and her professionalism was respected across the political spectrum. She was a journalist’s journalist and set an example for all around her,” said PBS NewsHour executive producer Sara Just, in a statement. “So many people in the audience felt that they knew and adored her. She had a tremendous combination of warmth and authority. She was stopped on the street routinely by people who just wanted to give her a hug and considered her a friend after years of seeing her on TV. We will forever miss her terribly.”
Ifill was set to receive the 2016 John Chancellor Award from Columbia University this Wednesday. A spokesperson for the university did not immediately have a comment.
Ifill, who was born in New York, graduated from Simmons College, a women’s college located in Boston, in 1977, before beginning her career at the Boston Herald-American. She held reporting positions at The Washington Post, The New York Times and NBC before becoming a moderator of PBS’s “Washington Week in Review” in 1999.
She moderated the 2004 vice-presidential debate between Dick Cheney and John Edwards and the 2008 vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. She also moderated a primary debate between Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton last year.

Hey if you have a Twitter, go send Leslie Jones some nice messages because there are racist trolls sending her horrible shit. Use the #LoveForLeslie.
And be careful if you do choose to see the shit they’ve sent her. It gets very graphic.
the trending hashtag is #LoveForLeslieJ
Yep! I talked to a couple people and I think that while mine was first- that was the one with more visibility, so use that one!
Again, in case you skimmed, #LoveForLeslieJ
Her twitter is https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg if you want to directly @ her. And warning, she is replying and quoting some of the stuff sent to her and it’s vile and racist, so be careful.

The fear of being “too female” is not exclusive to CBS, though.The past few months have not been kind to women on traditional network TV. While women-centric stories are flourishing on streaming services like Netflix and cable networks like Starz, network TV has fired Stana Katic from the ABC’s now-cancelled Castle, killed off the female lead of Fox’s Sleepy Hollow, and dumped ABC’s Agent Carter. If female leads and women-led shows with passionate fanbases are being disregarded by network TV, then the message begins to feel like women should take their “too female” tastes somewhere they might matter — or just not expect TV to represent them whatsoever.
CBS Nancy Drew Pilot Deemed ‘Too Female’ , Bustle (via redcognito)
Hey, one more pilot we lost out on: the showrunners of Agent Carter doing a Cuban Macbeth-style series starring Gina Torres. WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.

NO THEY KILLED GINA’S MACBETH TOO??!?! THESE MOTHERFUCKERS I SWEAR TO GOD
(via notyourplayground)
See, and I think CBS is double stupid for dumping the Nancy Drew pilot (whatever issues I had with the concept). If they had bought it and stuck on Monday nights at 10, I believe they would have collected the Castle audience nearly entirely. Literary-skewed crime procedural with strong female lead? And an audience that, many of them at least, are women who grew up reading Nancy Drew mysteries? The audience was right there and they blew it.
