• Lady Gaga will be performing the halftime show at Super Bowl LI in Houston. Now the question is: Will she sing "Til It Happens to You" — her Oscar-nominated anthem in support of rape survivors — on a stage owned by the NFL, which has a history of coddling abusers? [Vulture]
• More than 80 current and former cast and crew members from the "Star Trek" franchise — from the original series to the current movies — have signed an open letter urging fans not to vote for Donald Trump, a candidate who stands in "complete opposition to the ideals of the 'Star Trek' universe." So the idea that people from the future would come back to save us is coming true after all. [The Huffington Post]
• Greg Rucka, writer of the "Wonder Woman" comic book, answers the age-old question: "Is Wonder Woman gay?" His answer boils down to this: She lives in a perfect society populated only by women — so, yes, of course she's gay. [Comicosity]
