I will hold my hands up as an Avatar Hater, but I think it is because what we're struggling with, as a group, is that it is like being told 'three billion people are sexually attracted to forks'. It's not even that it is wrong, it's that I just don't really understand it at any level.
This, lol; and IMO it takes the form of ‘cultural impact’ debates because the movies are not entertainingly terrible or memorably bad, they’re just profoundly uninteresting, and the fact that they are technically well made only makes that more glaring
The debate about Avatar "having no cultural impact" is kind of a smokescreen for the actual argument which is that Avatar is "boring" and "bad" and "has terrible characters, worldbuilding, plotting and dialogue"

Nothing says "relax and enjoy a performance" like marble armrests. Love to kickback in a cozy, marbled chair for a 2 hour stage performance.

More of this kind of rich person, please.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Making America Great Again is making scores of Americans die from preventable-by-vaccine illnesses, so everyone remembers why vaccines are important in the first place. Oh, the number of people getting autism spectrum diagnoses will remain unchanged.
BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Yes. As with the first travel ban, this one also appears to exempt any athletes, coaches, and their families traveling for the World Cup.
However, fans are not exempted, so if they don't have tourist visas already (current visa-holders may still enter on a valid visa) they are just out of luck.
