“We never get to see Kerry Washington as a brilliant inventor who gets a little too close to her android, Liam Hemsworth. And that’s a problem.

“US District Judge John Ross ruled that [Ashley Madison] plaintiffs have to use their real names: no “John Doe” may sign on. Forty-two plaintiffs had filed under pseudonyms such as that “to reduce the risk of potentially catastrophic personal and professional consequences that could befall them and their families” should they be publicly identified as…
