My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

As a white person, I apologize for J.D Vance. We need to be more responsible about who speaks for our community
I know JD Vance said I don’t have to anymore, but I still want to apologize to you all for being white.

Avatar (the James Cameron movies) should've been animated. Like throw out any live action footage and just make an animated film. Why not? You're already animating so much of the thing??
I'm not saying this would make the movie instantly better, but it could.

Hundred million dollar movies that made billions of dollars... and what are they about?
There are a lot of issues with the Avatar movies, but I would argue the root issue is that there's just not much there under the CGI spectacle.

i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the avatar series seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other series has ever been treated, very odd to me

You're not wrong exactly, but you are trivializing the millions of people that culture war targets all on it's own.
Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Movies I saw this year that I liked:
Sinners (2025) dir. Ryan Coogler
I didn‘t actually see a lot of films that came out this year, but when I saw the buzz around Sinners I went out of my way to see it in theatres. Fires on all cylinders and never misses a shot. Absolute must watch.

Don’t overlook the justification: she said it couldn’t run without an on the record statement from the administration. Now at CBS “no comment” is officially a veto on any & all stories involving the government.
She didn’t just spike the story, she handed full power to do it again directly to Trump.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

My strange self inflicted torture of watching the Mr Beast cartoon has concluded.
The entire series has felt like default potato chips, but the finale was like a negative potato chip. It made me hungrier after I consumed it

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.
Who's coming to save you?
Even if they did save me I’m probably still cooked

this is the future that bigots want: where trans people are too afraid to come out and be seen
"Data may be less reliable in countries and societies in which transgender individuals are less widely accepted, as transgender individuals may be more likely to keep their true personalities hidden.

Karma comes in Boxing gloves.
to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.
