Lol The Substance is a movie where Demi Moore is rejected for being old even thought she looks that beautiful while being "old". Isn't someone who looks that beautiful at her age someone you should be listening to, as a young person?

People with children, you don't need to go to the cinema to watch the new live action Snow White. There are already 3 live action Snow White movies that have been done in the past. Not only that, Gal Gadot...
If you desperately feel that you wanna watch, go to the high seas when it drops on VOD.

I understand why people feel this way, truly. But it’s news writing 101 to avoid language that prejudges legal outcomes, even when they may seem obvious. It’s the same reason you’ll see stories about an “alleged” shooter or a “suspect” even if three people saw them do it.
You need to start using the word "illegal" a lot more in your writing

You ever read a tweet and just know that someone is bored? I don't mean looking for attention. They're just bored.

I spend a lot of my time looking up Anthony Mackie to see if he ever said or did anything wrong and all I'm getting is that he's just another case of someone being hated because he's a black person with a voice lol. The hate towards him is so forced and miserable lmfao

I checked. Every Best Picture winner for the last 5 years has a combined budget of about $170m(Oppenheimer being the most expensive at $100m. Almost half of the budget for this new Netflix piece of crap done solely to attract new subscribers ($320m). LMFAO Guys, what are we doing?

Watching Jurassic Park as a kid: "This poor nice old man just wants everyone from kids to adults to just enjoy his magical theme park and things keep going wrong and that's so unfortunate"

Setting aside the incredibly dangerous and fascist aspect of this, is there actual evidence that Khalil was a “Hamas supporter”? Or is the standard for a green-card holder being sent to a secret location and possibly deported just “critical of Israel”?

That tweet that asks what a person who follows you for a week would feel about how serious you are about your dreams, for me, speaks to the kind of culture we're living thanks to, in most parts, social media.

I don't mean to be reductive, but on a long enough time, a martyr always gets reduced to being a merchandising opportunity. The most radical thing you can do, especially in these insane times, amongst all the other efforts you put in, is staying alive. Live to fight another day.

The chat about sexual liberation being used as a tool for "validation" vs "empowerment" feels like a chat we had in the 2015 year chapter of feminism entering the internet (and by "internet", I mean Twitter)

Nothing motivates me to post more (the clock app or IG) than going back to see the shit I used to post 4/5 + years ago. No one around you is going to document your life for you. You have to do it to yourself. In fact, you owe it to yourself. Everyday life is so heavy that we lose the time to reflect

If the current generation's attention span shit, why are we catering to it instead of challenging it? You're releasing 2 minute songs because "no one has time for a 5/10 minute song"? Why aren't you challenging that?.

Gravity Falls is a show where twins have grandfathers (I'm a 🥷🏾don't know what a "great uncle" is) who are also twins which means it ties into the theory I was told about how twins always skip a generation(my grandmother was a twin but none of her kids and grandkids are twins but she had twin nieces)

What really blows my mind is that I have friends who are like devout almost Bible thumping Christians and nary have I heard them speak with me as if I'm some "lost soul that needs saving". The nicest people ever. What's wrong with the rest of you?

There is no room for conflict resolution for people who never cared about my well-being to begin with. If you were consciously screwing me over and I'm not your brethren, we ain't resolving shit. I'm moving on and hopefully in a way that spites you. I'm not even above praying on your downfall.

I play music at maximum volume on my earphones, I'm planning to be alive for a while but I don't know sign language. If I don't do something about that, my 40s are gonna be very interesting.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

(I hate them but) The Oscars are an event that get a guaranteed audience every year. You don't need to be telling us about anonymous voters and their choice. It won't make a difference and we don't need to know everything

So the Best Actor Oscar will either be won by someone who once again acts in a music biopic or Adrien Brody playing another "-ist". What a joke.
