Critical Hits & Misses #304

• As if Carrie Fisher (aka Princess Leia) wasn't badass enough already, a radio station in Phoenix learned about how Fisher defended her friend Heather Ross from a predatory producer by sending a cow's tongue and a threat to said producer. Like holy shit?


• Everything is awesome, because LEGO will soon be producing a new set of the famous children's toy that features 4 badass female NASA scientists. I'm throwing money at the monitor right now and it's not doing anything...

For today's musical hit, we have Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You"

Today's critical rolls: What other women do you think LEGO needs to make sets for? Or maybe instead of specific historical figures, you'd like to see LEGO produce more women in certain careers?

• This is the final time we're posting this, mostly because today is the 20th of February, aka President's Day. Get your donations in today! “On Monday, February 20, 2017 America will observe President's Day, but our current president gives us little cause for celebration. As Trump and the GOP-lead Congress work to repeal the ACA and defund Planned Parenthood, women across America will need their services more than ever. Donate today so we can give Planned Parenthood a reason to celebrate this February 20th! Bonus points if we can raise enough to make a statement and annoy our fear-mongering leader.”


• Family is an important theme of The LEGO Batman Movie. Evan Narcisse of io9 recounts how watching the film gave his six year old daughter a new way of understanding that concept.

For today's musical hit, we have Lana Del Rey and "Love"

Today's critical rolls: Lego Batman is all about family, even if it means forming one of your own if life's cheated you out of your natural one. Tell us about what family means to you!
