Share: After years of speculation, controversy, and delays, the Donald Trump biopic ‘The Apprentice’ has finally secured U.S. distribution and is set to hit theaters this fall—just weeks before the 2024 presidential election. Now let’s be honest, no matter what your opinion is, Sebastian Stan’s toupeed head is not going to be the thing to save us all from another four years of Trump. On the surface, the timing feels like a marketing masterstroke. Whether you love or loathe Trump, he is one of the …
Banning cellphones isn’t the answer—digital literacy is
Share: Assembly Bill 3216, renamed the Phone-Free School Act, requires that every school district, charter school and county office of education develop a policy limiting the use of smartphones by July 1, 2026. While the bill is a step in the right direction for addressing the potential harms caused by unrestricted cell phone use in schools. We need to recognize that smartphones are not going away. Instead of fighting this reality, schools should focus on teaching students how to use them responsibly. Digital literacy programs …
Emmy academy had one appropriate response to Zionist group and they nailed it
Share: Amidst Israel’s relentless assault on Palestine, zionists in the U.S’ entertainment industry continue to try and bury the truth about the ongoing genocide in Gaza by requesting that Bisan Owda’s Emmy nomination for It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive be rescinded. The fact that people in today’s society feel comfortable enough to go out of their way and publicly request to move down the honest experience of a person who is currently living under constant air assaults and bombardments highlights the corrupt …
Kamala Harris is a conservative in Democrat’s clothing
Share: The Democrats are trying their absolute hardest to royally shit on their chances at winning this crucial election. When it came down to addressing one of the biggest concerns regarding her campaign agenda, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris had concerningly similar things as her predecessor to say about the ongoing invasion of Gaza. “With respect to the war in Gaza, President Biden and I are working around the clock, because now is the time to get a hostage deal and a ceasefire deal done,” Harris …
Cowardly Alito passes the buck to wife on flag controversy
Share: In a clear violation of the Code of Conduct for United States judges, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew an upside-down American flag, which is a prominent symbol of the “Stop the Steal” movement, in front of his home in January 2021 while the Supreme Court was still contending with a 2020 election case. Despite this being a very obvious conflict of interest, Alito refused to recuse himself from any Trump-related court cases because he claimed that his wife was the one who put …
There’s nothing neutral about ‘institutional neutrality’
Share: In a world increasingly fraught with political tension and social upheaval, the concept of “institutional neutrality” has become a convenient fig leaf for organizations looking to dodge accountability and controversy. Harvard University’s recent decision to reject calls for a stronger stance on social and political issues under the guise of neutrality is a prime example of this misguided and fundamentally political stance. Harvard’s leadership, in opting for neutrality, ostensibly aims to create an environment where academic freedom and open discourse can flourish unimpeded by …
International court prosecutors are right to tell Netanyahu enough is enough
Share: Although it has already been eight months into the ongoing war in Gaza, the condemnation of Netanyahu’s crimes against humanitarian laws by the international community proves that justice, reason, and empathy are still prevalent no matter how fickle. This wave of efforts into the humanization and deliverance of justice for the Palestinian population has been much anticipated and is honestly the bare minimum. Nevertheless, the world has now awakened and has all eyes on Gaza and the injustices inflicted on its people. In a …
Idiot kicker’s stupid speech echoes the NFL’s history with toxic masculinity
Share: Harrison Butker is quite possibly the nation’s biggest idiot. No sane human being would stand in front of a room of college educated people and deliver a speech like that. Any sort of platformed human with a brain would be able to predict the national shitstorm that they’d face when beginning their commencement speech speaking of “bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane.” It’s been all over the news. All of his mentions about how women should be exclusively focused on becoming “homemakers”, …
Surprise, surprise, another out-of-touch comedian is complaining about ‘P.C. crap’
Share: Has cancel culture gone too far? Jerry Seinfeld certainly thinks so. In a recent interview with the New Yorker, Seinfeld complained about the supposed lack of good, funny TV shows, claiming that, “This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” This incredibly redundant take is not only very untrue, but also very poorly backed up. It seems like every mediocre male comedian has been coming out of the woodwork recently to complain …
Time to walk now that you talked, Mayor Bass
Share: Mayor Karen Bass announced a new initiative that will rely on private donations to help provide homes for LA’s unhoused. While this sounds good, it’s unclear if this will be a step in the right direction. What else could be done for the unhoused crisis? On paper, it’s great seeing Mayor Bass have such ambition in announcing her plan considering how bad the homeless situation is. Proposing a new bill or adjusting the system for more benefits would honestly be a better solution than …
