Another disappointing season of #BlackMirror again. This used to be one of my favourite shows. But it's not as impactful as it use to be.

"The failure of 'Snow White' is not due to Zegler’s comments about Palestine, although that’s what Disney and Variety want everyone else to think. It’s due to Gadot’s continuous support of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians."

'The Acolyte' is the horniest, sexiest Star Wars series ever. I loved this series because it's so different from the other live-action SW series made before and it questions the Jedi Order's principles. Change is good!
