The world sucks right now and we could use a distraction. January 29th is the SAG Awards and celebrities are there. They're rich and beautiful, but don't always wear the nicest things. Here are the worst dressed people on the red carpet to whom we are forever indebted for giving us a small dosage of schadenfreude.
1. Kate Hudson
Yikes. Is she wearing a dress or Dior boxers with some nylon and duct tape and a hip brooch thrown on? Plus the hair is a little There's Something About Mary-ish.
2. Michelle Dockery
Lady Mary is awesome, but her hair looks kind of mullet-y and her dress just like a beach towel.
3. Amy Landecker
The Pfefferman on Transparent who's into sadomasochism has a similarly masochistic stylist.
4. Mayim Bialik
While her Star of David necklace just fills me with so much Jewish pride, the dress looks like Christmas wrapping paper.
5. Julia Louis-Dreyfus
The icon must have gotten so bored of award shows after decades of winning that she just re-purposed her curtains like the Von Trapp kids in The Sound of Music.
6. Nicole Kidman
This dress is a pitch for a Disney movie in which a peacock has a pair of parrots living on her shoulders.
7 & 8. Michelle Williams and Busy Phillips
It's fun that the BFFs synced up on sequins, but Williams looks a wee bit like a Rocky Horror character and unfortunately Phillips camouflage fails.
9. Gwendoline Christie
This jumpsuit should be sent to prison for its fashion crimes.
10. Taryn Manning
Candy floss hair and a stolen bedsheet do not gel well.
This weekend, amidst roiling protests of the Muslim ban, Donald Trump decided to host his first movie night in the White House, THR reports. Can you imagine the pressure he must have felt to pick a movie that would help his family and staff members forget the damage he has done to innocent immigrants' and refugees' lives? That's a lot riding on a 90-minute cinematic experience. He could go the comedy route, and choose something to lift their spirits and help them forget that the first detainees under his ruling were Iraqis who said they'd be killed if they returned to Iraq. Or maybe he'd choose a sad but ultimately uplifting drama, to remind him that it's early on in his presidency and perhaps his ratings will improve (unlikely). What a hard call to make!
But, you know what Trump picked? It's pretty rich. I couldn't have made up a better choice. He picked Finding Dory. Yes, the sequel to Finding Nemo. Yes, the movie about a separated family who travels the ocean in hopes of finding each other again. HM, DOES THIS PLOT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU? For example, you might say that the plot of this movie sounds an awful lot like the real life stories of refugees and immigrants who had hoped to come to the U.S. to reunite with their families?? Might you say that? I would.
Judd Apatow had another idea about why Trump might have picked it.
I'm willing to bet his short attention span stopped him from empathizing with any of the characters and their struggles in the movie. Personally, I'd love to know if Ivanka was there and if she was hungover from the party she went to last night.
Gigi and Bella Hadid took to the street to protest Donald Trump's unconstitutional Muslim ban on Sunday evening. The supermodel sisters are most known for walking the runway, but they were among the estimated 10,000 protesters who pounded the pavement in downtown Manhattan to speak out against the ban that bars people from Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Sudan from entering the United States.
The ban hit close to home for the Hadid girls, who are of Middle-Eastern descent. Bella and Gigi are the daughters of Jordanian-American real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, who originally hails from Palestine. Gigi is also dating ex-boy band member Zayn Malik (formally of One Direction), who is Muslim.
The Hadid sisters joined fellow model RJ King for the protest, wielding a sign that read "We Are All Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheists, Christians, Jews" laid out in a way that spelled "Humans." Gigi was heard chanting "No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here" as she walked through the streets of New York with fellow protesters.
Of course, Banks, one of Donald Trump's few "celebrity" supporters and professional provocateur, went after Rihanna by writing (and subsequently deleting) this rant:
As far as rihanna (who isn’t a citizen, and can’t vote) and all the rest of the celebrities who are using their influence to stir the public, you lot really REALLY need to shut up and sit down. Stop chastising the president. It’s stupid and pathetic to watch. All of these confused people confuse other confused people. Hoping the president fails is like getting on an airplane and hoping the pilot crashes. What makes you think, the the USA is going to enter the Middle East destroy a bunch of shit and pull out without any real repercussions ????
The Barbados-born singer hit back at Banks by posting this black and white portrait of herself on Instagram with some purposely shady hashtags that likely reference Banks' controversial video of her cleaning the closet where she sacrificed chickens for years as part of her practicing witchcraft (yes, this is a real thing, and you can read about it here.)
Well, apparently Banks took the hashtags extremely personally because she then took a screen shot of Rihanna's post and put it on her own Instagram with this rather colorful caption.
“What rihanna meant was …. “I GREW UP PLAYING SOCCER IN A DIRT YARD WITH A COCONUT AND OPEN MY LEGS FOR ANY AND EVERY MOTHERF—KER WHO I THINK I CAN GET TO WRITE ME SONGS OR BUY ME DRUGS. I CAN BARELY PERFORM BECAUSE I LINE MY BROWN BLUNTS WITH CRYSTAL METH AND AM OFTEN VERY WINDED ON STAGE.”
Rihanna responded to the (now deleted) attack with a simple image: a person with an American flag covering their face and the caption: "the face you make when you screaming in an empty room."
Azealia Banks then made a series of videos targeting Rihanna where she mocked her tweets and Instagrams, saying things like "Rihanna please stop being stupid and read some books. I beg you." She also threatened "I Am A Witch, don’t push me. Knocking me down is the easy part. If you want me to stay there trust me, you will need back up." She also allegedly posted a picture of Rihanna's phone number on Instagram with the caption "bombs away!" The number has been disconnected and Banks later deleted the multiple videos and images that targeted Rihanna.
Rihanna dropped the feud much earlier than Banks, choosing to post about her recent charity trip to benefiting Malawi schoolchildren instead.
As protesters printed out Mike Pence's 2015 tweet opposing a "call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S." and brought it to rallies around the country, J.K. Rowling took the simple step of retweeting it.
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.
As her statement went viral, as it often does, the hate poured in—as it often does. Particularly ridiculous was a softball from "Mr. America." We don't know a lot about Mr. America. But we know he hasn't read Harry Potter.

If you missed our coverage of the best and the worst red carpet looks from the 2017 SAG Awards, you're going to want to check those out. The Saggies might be the forgotten stepchild of award season, but that doesn't mean the dresses are any less captivating. One of our favorite celebrities, 18-year-old Modern Family star Ariel Winter, debuted a new look last night that definitely suited her.
At least there was one Oscar at the SAG Awards.
But some haters are accusing her of ditching her own distinctive style to try and mimic another teenage sensation: Kylie Jenner. And while it might seem crazy, the pictures are making us question everything we ever thought we knew.
While the extreme cutout look is more risqué than Winter would usually go for on the red carpet (but not on Instagram), this theory does seem to have legs. Winter's wavy dark hair and bold lip certainly echo Jenner's signature style. To give you even more context, this is what Winter's hair used to look like.
Aha!
Even if Winter is inspired by Jenner's style, so what? These women are the future of fashion. It makes sense that they would be in sync. If you've got a problem with it, then get with the times, Methuselah.
Ever the statesman, instead of addressing the fact that no terrorists have come from the banned countries, the stays granted by the judiciary and the sheer harmfulness of its rollout, Trump dedicated his morning Twitter burst to deflect responsibility for the chaos.
Trump's strategy.
According to Trump, the scene at airports had nothing to do with people, including children and the elderly, being held for hours, but had everything to do with Delta Airlines and Senator Chuck Schumer.
Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning. Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,.....
And lastly, HOW DARE YOU PUT US IN THE POSITION OF DEFENDING DELTA AIRLINES.
Trump's blaming Delta's IT outage nonsense (their computers didn't have a blip until late Sunday afternoon), and sucks because it makes us sympathize with the airline that has been consistently annoying with brutal delays, bad snacks, and draconian overhead bin laws.
Comedian John Mulaney slams Delta best.
But yes, the horrors of traveling on Delta are incomparable to those of being ripped from families and unlawfully detained.
There's an all-female spin-off of Ocean's Eleven called Ocean's Eight coming out next summer, according to Entertainment Weekly. Let's start there.
If you've been paying more attention to gossip from Washington D.C. than Hollywood lately, you may have missed this development.
But undeterred by the insanely stupid backlash to the all-female Ghostbusters(and Ocean's Eight already has its own), Warner Brothers is bringing a star studded cast to pull off another heist, probably. We don't know a lot about the plot.
What we do know is the cast looks badass chilling on the NYC subway.
Losing a loved one is always tough, but sometimes the universe sends you fun little reminders that they'll always be with you. One Reddit user got that reminder in the form of a cute video on his late grandmother's cell phone.
Reddit user Mewarffound this adorable video on his grandma's phone just a week after she passed away. It appears that she was trying to take photos of her hydrangeas, but was confused by the phone camera and ended up taking a video instead.
Oh, my heart. We hope this video brought Mewarf some comfort. May his grandma rest in peace.
On Sunday, Netflix's Stranger Thingstook home the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. David Harbour, who plays police officer Jim Hopper on the show, accepted the award on behalf of the cast by giving a passionate, rousing political speech about the current state of affairs in the United States. Everyone was invested in his dynamic message, but no one was more into it than his costar Winona Ryder, whose facial expressions would give Fanny Brice a run for her money.
Oh, my god. Wow. This is unreal. This is unreal. I'm supposed to start talking—I’m sorry, I’m sick. On behalf of this fearless and talented cast, we would like to thank—oh, it’s so heavy!—we’d like to thank Netflix, Sean, Matt, Ross and the amazing casting director Carmen Cuba. And I would like to say that in light of all that's going on in the world today, it's difficult to celebrate the already celebrated Stranger Things. But this award from you, who take your craft seriously and earnestly believe, like me, that great acting can change the world, is call to arms from our fellow craftsmen and women to go deeper, and through our art to battle against the fear, self-centeredness, and exclusivity of our predominantly narcissistic culture. And through our craft, to cultivate a more empathetic and understanding society by revealing intimate truths that serve as a forceful reminder to folks that when they feel broken and afraid and tired, they are not alone. We are united in that we are all human beings and we are all together on this horrible, painful, joyous, exciting and mysterious ride that is being alive. Now, as we act in the continuing narrative of Stranger Things, we 1983 Midwesterners will repel bullies. We will shelter freaks and outcasts, those who have no home. We will get past the lies. We will hunt monsters! And when we are at a loss against the hypocrisy and casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per Chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the weak and the disenfranchised and the marginalized. And we will do it all with soul, with heart, and with joy! We thank you for this responsibility. Thank you.
Winona Ryder seriously crammed an impressive amount of expressions into the short speech, running the gamut from looking awestruck to looking horrified. Was she drunk, possessed by a demon or simply just swept up in the moment? We may never know.
A brave man has come forward on Reddit to tell the sobering story of the time he peed inside his girlfriend while they were having sex. Redditor that_guy_who_pissed (not his normal account) confessed his crime in the ever-popular Today I Fucked Up forum. Once you read it, you'll agree it fits the title.
So before i begin, i just want to clarify that i am using a throw away account to save myself the embarrassment in case my mates recognize my main account. Also, apu this happened in August 2016 so its been a fair few months.
Last year, in early February, i decided to travel the world for a few months with the money i had inherited from a deceased uncle (not too much money but it was enough to allow me to travel). I decided to invite my GF along but after some discussion, she decided that she couldn't go due to commitments to work and her education (she is 22 and about to leave uni while i'm 23 and have left already), so i respected her choice and invited my friend along who accepted.
We left in early February 2016 and planned to get back around late August of the same year meaning i planned to spend around 6 months without my GF.
The next months were tough without my GF and i missed her a lot but me and my mate got some good life experiences out of the trip and i do sometimes wish i was back in Australia or any of the other amazing places i visited.
The FU happened when i got back.
It had been 6 months and i had only seen my GF occasionally over dodgy internet connection skype calls and we hadn't done cyber-sex (or whatever TF it's called) as we thought it would be better to wait until we see each other.
When i finally got dropped home by my friend, my GF was already getting ready for the naughtiness to begin and i quickly began to undress when i suddenly realized i desperately needed to pee. However, at this point we were already getting down to it and i didn't want to ruin the moment so i soldiered on.
Worst decision ever.
To put it simply, let's just say that i had been on a 14 hour flight and hadn't been for a whiz for a looooooong time. The dam was bursting.
Before i could pull out, it just released and propelled my dick out of her leaving me spraying piss on our bed; meanwhile pee was dripping out off her and she was a mix between extremely furious and caught off guard.
It was the most embarrassing moment of my life and i still have to give her foot massages whenever she wants to make up for it :(
TL:DR I pissed inside my GF after rushing to get it on instead of emptying my bladder after a 14 hour flight.
First of all, that is crazy. Who can even think about having sex when they haven't peed in 14 hours? (A 23-year-old dude, that's who.) Also, this girlfriend deserves a Nobel Prize for not dumping his golden showering ass.
Let this be a lesson to all the dudes out there—it won't ruin the romance to pee first. And the alternative is much, much worse.
5. Casey Affleck, because he got snubbed at the SAG Awards.
He could have sold that award to buy a razor.
Going into Sunday's SAG Awards, Manchester by the Sea star Casey Affleck was heavily favored to win the award for best male actor in a leading role. After he took home the Golden Globe for that performance, everyone assumed he had this one in the bag. Those who disagreed generally thought it would go to Ryan Gosling for La La Land. But in the end, they were all wrong. In a major upset, Denzel Washington gave those young whippersnappers the business by winning for his role in Fences.
What's more, this may signal that Hollywood is finally turning on Casey Affleck, follwing revelations that he settled a lawsuit by two women for sexual misconduct and sexual harassment back in 2010. Brie Larson was clearly uncomfortable presenting Affleck with his Golden Globe, but the fact that he won the award seemed to indicate that the showbiz establishment was giving him a pass (a.k.a. the Mel Gibson treatment).
But the SAG decision may indicate a sea change for the younger, as-yet-less-sad Affleck brother. Brie Larson certainly seemed to take satisfaction from it.
That's 6'6" Arizona Coyotes defenceman Chris Pronger slamming the 5'9" Bieber against the wall during Saturday's NHL All-Star Celebrity Shootout in Los Angeles. Feel free to take a moment to soak it in. Just look at how happy Pronger is.
And because you've been very, very good, here's a video.
Pronger, who has been suspended eight times in his 18-year career, will face a hearing with the Department of Player Safety in regards to the bodycheck. But in all likelihood, he'll be let off scot-free on the grounds that it's Justin Bieber and everyone wanted to see that happen.
No word yet on whether Bieber damaged his huge hog.
3. Mariah Carey's ex James Packer, because she recut her reality show to make it look like she dumped him.
This is what she looks like when she's thinking about revenge.
Back in October, tabloids reported that Mariah Carey had been dumped by her fiancé, Australian Billionaire James Packer. And it certainly seemed like that was the case when she demanded a $50 million settlement from him, despite the fact that they WEREN'T EVEN MARRIED.
What made things even more awkward is that at the time, Mimi was in the middle of recording her reality series Mariah's World. Producers had to scramble to cut Packer out of the series at his request. Instead, they constructed a new narrative about Carey's budding romance with her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka. And it certainly seems like Carey had some role in this story, because she comes up smelling like roses in it.
Last night, the finale of the eight-part series aired. As Perez Hilton notes, the climax comes in a ham-handed scene where Carey and Tanaka get cozy in a gazebo, and he asks her if she's going to marry Packer. She responds, "I don't even know what I think anymore… Sometimes maybe people aren't supposed to be happy." Then he says, "I think everybody should be happy," and kisses her hand. Oh brother.
The finale also contains Carey singing part of a new song, I Don't, which seems to be about Packer. The scene ends with her dramatically placing her wedding ring on the music stand. That same night, she teased the song in an Instagram video.
Let this be a reminder: NOBODY DUMPS MARIAH CAREY AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.
2. A Florida deputy who was busted for robbing drunk drivers.
If there's one group of people who don't deserve a lot of sympathy, it's drunk drivers. But that doesn't mean it's OK for cops to start picking their pockets for some extra pocket cash. Even in Florida.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that Volusia County Sheriff's Deputy Josh Braman has been placed on leave pending an investigation into multiple accusations of theft. According to the accusers, Deputy Braman had a specific M.O. for his petty crime spree—he would pull over somebody who was driving totally wasted, turn off his body camera, and then take money out of their wallet. Apparently, he would explain that he was turning off his camera for "police tactics." (Which sounds like the most suspicious thing a cop could possibly say.)
Braman's superior, Sheriff Mike Chitwood, released this video statement to reassure the people of Volusia County that not all of their public servants are sticky-fingered pickpockets.
But once you read out next story, you might be less reassured.
1. A Florida deputy who was busted for stealing an old woman's dog and money, then trying to murder her.
What the hell is going on with cops in Florida?! After you read this, you're going to think that guy who robbed drunk drivers is a saint.
The Miami Herald reports that Sarasota Country Sheriff's Deputy Frankie Eugene Bybee has been arrested following accusations that he infiltrated a 79-year-old woman's life in the hopes of bilking her for all she was worth and then killing her off.
It started on October 21 of last year, when Bybee, an 18-year veteran of the force who had been a detective but was working as a patrol deputy at the time (always a good sign), responded to a call at the woman's house. After that, he "befriended" her, visiting her regularly both on- and off-duty.
When she was hospitalized, he agreed to look after her dog, accepting a check for $1,000 in case the dog needed medical care. Instead, he deposited the check and gave the dog away on Craigslist. And if only that's where the sleaziness ended.
On January 9, four checks from the woman's bank account were written out to Bybee and his three children, totaling $65,000. They were placed in an envelope addressed to Bybee, and when the victim told police she hadn't written them, the sheriff's office found Bybee's fingerprints on them. At that point, he was placed on administrative leave, but not arrested. Big mistake.
Three days later, Bybee broke into the woman's house at night, enraged that she had gotten him in trouble. He attempted to force her sleeping pills down her throat, at which point she passed out. When she came to, her garage door was open and her car was running. When the cops learned about this, they finally fired Deputy Bybee.
Now, the disgraced deputy is charged with larceny, exploitation of the elderly of $50,000 or more, forgery, burglary of an occupied dwelling, battery on a person 65 or older, and attempted murder. Records show that he has been the subject of five previous internal investigations.
Maybe it's time sheriff's offices in Florida started implementing some of that "extreme vetting" we keep hearing about.
Moonlight's (and Hidden Figures! But he won for Moonlight) Mahershala Ali won the SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor, and used his acceptance speech to powerfully address persecution.
“I think what I have learned from working on Moonlight, you see what happens when you persecute people, and they fold into themselves,” Ali said, “What I was so grateful about in having the opportunity to play Juan, was playing a gentleman who saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community and taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him he mattered, that he was okay. And accept him. I hope that we do a better job of that.”
He then got personal:
My mother is an ordained minister. I’m a Muslim. She didn't do backflips when I called her and told her I converted 17 years ago. But I tell you now, we put things to the side and I was able to see her. She is able to see me. We love each other.
On Monday, anyone who visited the Google homepage found themselves looking at a doodle of Fred Korematsu, a Japanese-American famous for fighting Japanese internment. It would be his 98th birthday.
The Google doodle today celebrates the birthday of Fred Korematsu, the namesake of the 1944 SCOTUS case challenging Japanese internment. pic.twitter.com/BKrzGS2ZXT
Korematsu fled his San Leandro, California home in 1942 rather than submit to the executive order that demanded the imprisonment of Americans of Japanese descent in internment camps, according to the Huffington Post. After being captured, he appealed his conviction, taking the case to the Supreme Court.
There, the highest court in the nation ruled 6-3 against him. Via the Huffington Post, here's the writing of the dissenting justices:
"It is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States,” they wrote.
“If this be a correct statement of the facts disclosed by this record, and facts of which we take judicial notice, I need hardly labor the conclusion that Constitutional rights have been violated.”
It's not hard to see the allusion to Donald Trump's own executive order, banning travel to the United States to everyone from seven Muslim-majority countries. Calls to rescind the more recent executive action echo that dissenting opinion from 1944, which criticized the move as "solely because of... ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning... loyalty and good disposition towards the United States."
Said Senator Chuck Schumer on Sunday: "The president wants people to believe that everyone's a terrorist or a criminal who's an immigrant. It's not fair and it's not right."
According to USA Today, Google created a $4 million crisis fund to benefit those affected by Trump's ban. Google co-founder Sergey Brin was also spotted at protests at the San Francisco International Airport.
"My point is that after last night, I know your friends better than I know my own friends."
They're "sort of the worst," but this letter is sort of the best.
The letter reads:
Dear neighbors who were partying last night,
Being loud in your own apartment is one thing, but letting Becky stumble around slur-yelling in the hallway at 3:30 AM is another. I understand that Kristin is excited about her new stewardess job with Air Canada, but she needs to tone it the fuck down because your neighbors are trying to sleep, and quite frankly we all know that WestJet is better anyways. Have fun with those shitty benefits, Kristin!
And while it's super tragic that Jen found our Chad has been cheating on her, and only a few days after they did that couple's sleigh ride in Canmore, Christ knows that nobody wants to hear about it at 4 in the fucking morning. Now my cat's awake, he's wondering what the fuck's going on, and I have to explain to him why Tracy is so upset the way Gilmore Girls season 8 ended that she feels the need to wander the goddamn hallway of our apartment building yelling about it right now. BTW Jen, the only reason Chad took you on that sleigh ride is because he found a super cheap Groupon.
You must not have heard the battlecry I let out at exactly 3:37, after listening to Megan give her 2 cents on the serious issue of the gender pay gap, for over an hour. It was something to the effect of, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" No, you must not have heard it, because Jen's aggressive cry-yelling didn't let up until 4:02, at which point she was ushered into the back of a yellow checkered cab with fresh puke starting to crust on her new Aritziya flannel.
My point is that after last night, I know your friends better than I know my own friends. I don't have any friends, but that's besides the point. Your friends are fucking loud, and the hallway is a ridiculous place to hang out late at night. Or ever. Actually you should probably just move out. You're sort of the worst.
Luke-warm regards,
youy super pissed off neighbors.
Woah, this is savage. Holdthedoor44 does admit in the comments section that some of these details are "mostly satirical" to " get the point across that they need to shut the fuck up next time, and apparently the point was made. He found the sympathy of other residents, who "wrote their own 'fuck yous' on the letter today." Unfortunately, the cleaning lady took it down.
As protests against Donald Trump's travel ban erupted at airports around the country over the weekend, the SAG Awards went on as planned in Hollywood. Two of the stars in attendance wouldn't let their scheduling conflict stop them from getting in on the protest.
The Big Bang Theory's Simon Helberg and his wife, Jocelyn Towne (who is an actress and director herself), used their red carpet photo op to make a powerful anti-ban statement. Helberg held a sign that read, "Refugees welcome," while Towne had "Let them in" written across her chest in black letters.
While Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Towne were the first celebs to address the travel ban on the red carpet, others who spoke at the SAG Awards (including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ashton Kutcher, and the cast of Orange Is The New Black) also made sure to express their anger over the ban.
No offense to everyone else, but we think Simon Helberg and Jocelyn Towne win the award for best SAG red carpet looks.
This is a reasonable request seeing that male meteorologists are never infantilized by being called "weather boys." Plus, not only are female scientists saddled with the dismissive title, but they are also often criticized about everything from their hair to their clothes while they are just trying to do their damn jobs. Yes, a woman can be a scientist, wear a dress and appear on TV all at the same time. Amazing, isn't it?
Three female meteorologists, Janice Huff, Chief Meteorologist at WNBC New York, Jenn Carfagno, Weather Channel Meteorologist and one of the hosts of AMHQ, and Ginger Zee, Chief Meteorologist at ABC News and Good Morning America joined Dr. Marshall Shepherd for a two-part discussion of the challenges women in science face for Weather Geeks, a show on The Weather channel.
The panel discussed the importance of getting young girls into science, and how visibility matters when it comes to female role models.
“There’s a big disparity on the general population versus how many people are in the geosciences, and men still dominate,” said Huff.
"We decided we really need to do a show about women in science," added Carfagno.
The Shepherd closed out part one of the discussion by saying "Let’s abolish the term 'weather girl.' Respect these women for what they are: scientists."
