Trump duels with the truth in ’60 Minutes’ standoff

Share: President Trump’s 60 Minutes interview following the White House Correspondents’ dinner shooting took a disrespectful turn as the President felt he needed to become defensive over the alleged shooter, Cole Allen’s manifesto. The President relied on his typical derogatory and dehumanizing responses towards the interviewer, Norah O’Donnell, when questions were too much for his fragile ego to handle. Trump called O’Donnell a ‘horrible person’ for reading a part of the manifesto, which seemed to be directed at him but did not mention him by …

At Cinemacon, the movies watch you

Share: Movie theatres are cracking down on anti-piracy measures, but this antidote for bootlegging is the same poison killing the industry for attendees.

Attendees were excited to get an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming blockbuster, but something grabbed their attention during the preview: green lasers periodically beaming across disturbed audience members. “At first, we thought: ‘What …

AI brought Kilmer back from the dead, and it’s killing the film industry

Share: In an era where AI has become so powerful, now entering the entertainment industry, it poses a huge threat to real actors and artists. Willingly using AI for a film is a big slap in the face to actors who are more than capable of playing a role in a film. Val Kilmer’s estate signed off the rights for ‘As Deep as the Grave’ to star an AI version of Val Kilmer, who was unable to be on set due to his chronic illness …

Artists’ platforms can be bigger than the performance

Share: People with power or a large platform should use it to spread awareness about social and political issues, happening not just in the U.S. but globally too. When there are injustices affecting any kind of community, that should always be addressed. Even when there is censorship or obstacles preventing celebrities from speaking out, it is important that they try to.

Another conservative busted for being a hypocrite

Share: The link between Anti-LGBTQ+ ideologies and internalized queerphobia gets connected even tighter as Kristi Noem’s husband’s bimbo fetish cross-dressing pictures were leaked. Despite actively working towards taking away queer and trans rights, he hid a double life behind plastic, not just from years of his wife’s cosmetic surgery. “As the governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem was a prominent proponent of legislation restricting transgender rights, including bans on transgender girls taking part in school sports and on gender-affirming care for minors. She signed the …

Trump’s Easter ‘truths’ make him older but never wiser

Share: This year on Easter morning, President Donald Trump proceeded to open Truth Social, his social media platform, from which he posts multiple times a day, and shared a nonsensical tirade including a threat to Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz. The post was insane, just like the rest of his posts have been, and left a question on whether this is just the level Trump has always been or if he is deteriorating. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and …

Criminals don’t deserve the spotlight, their exposers do

Brown published a book called “Perversion of Justice” in 2021, recounting her difficult and ruthless investigation in 2018 that finally brought sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s operation to light and exposed the power of corruption that had sheltered his crimes.

Close stores and give workers a holiday too

Share: When I was a kid, stores weren’t open on holidays. When preparing for a holiday, people would buy everything before the holiday, or they would go without. I remember a time in particular at my aunt’s house. She and my mom were getting dinner ready, but they realized they were missing an ingredient. We went out in search of any store that might be open, but came back empty-handed. They substituted it and moved on. Dinner was just as good without it proving stores …

The euphoria has worn off
