I have a simple solution. Let's just tweet what we want and also boycott the USA until they stop being fascists. The problem is self-solving. There is no reason to visit that fascist hell hole.

Want to go to Disneyland? Maybe rethink those mean tweets about US policy
Mean tweets about US policy might mean no trip to Disneyland, under a new proposal that would see Australians provide their social media history for the past five years.

"Much has been written about Heated Rivalry's R-rated nature, but what many of those takes have failed to acknowledge is how Shane and Ilya's hookups do ultimately serve the show's greater narrative arc, both for them as a potential couple and as individual characters."
After weeks of work and life conspiring against me, I finally wrote about #HeatedRivalry Episode 4, what criticisms of the show's sex scenes are overlooking, and why one moment in particular is more about what goes unspoken between Shane and Ilya. Call it a scene analysis!
'Heated Rivalry's Steamiest Episode Yet Becomes Its Most Painful With 1 Crucial Scene
Heated Rivalry Episode 4 delivers the show's steamiest moments yet, but also ends with a devastating exchange between Shane and Ilya.

There are reports that the FDA intends to put a “black box” warning on COVID-19 vaccines.
This is not in line with the science, which shows that COVID-19 are safe and have saved millions of lives.
This would be a serious abuse of power by FDA officials to further antivax political goals.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

With all due respect, we’ve been doing terrible and evil things around the world for a very long time. No doubt American foreign policy is getting more brutal, more violent, more domineering, more depraved. But let’s not lie to ourselves about what we’ve been doing for centuries
I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

I wish more actors discussed how culturally ideas around gender impact how they perform and how they’re are perceived, not just by audiences but the people who call the shots in the industry. It would serve them as performers and the rest of us as an audience.

There’s a lot valuable analysis about masculinity in our culture to be mined from David Corenswet’s comments.
However, lot people are missing the context in which they were made. He is an actor complimenting another actor on how he performed literally masculinity onscreen.
