Just how polarizing is the gun debate in America? TV star Katee Sackhoff, best known for her roles on shows like 24, Battlestar Galactia and Longmire, found out after losing almost half of her Twitter followers after a few tweets about the need for gun safety. The strange thing is, none of the tweets were even that controversial. It all started when she retweeted a CNN headline about a 4-year-old who fatally shot his father, adding “Please practice gun safety. This is horrible!” That seemingly politically neutral, common sense statement sparked a debate among her followers about gun control laws. Her next tweet, which also seemed relatively neutral, was a response to several followers that read, "Never gonna happen in the US. Proper gun safety is a necessity though.

Will Ferrell and long-time collaborator Adam McKay are behind a new mini-series set to air on IFC, epically titled The Spoils of Babylon. The six-part “event series” is a spoof of the historical novel adaptations that were once a staple of primetime entertainment. In addition to Ferrell, the “century-spanning saga” will also feature appearances by some other big-name stars. Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba, Kristin Wiig, Val Kilmer, Tim Robbins and Haley Joel Osment are all set to appear in the “mercurial potboiler” so intense “it begins to overflow with boiling liquid in a pot on a hot stove that is operational” … Discuss

"I got into television because I hated it so." That quote from Fred Rogers is pretty amazing, and has endless ramifications for how we as people engage the world.
