So, most people who spend any time online (or in society) have come across the word “woke.” It was a term originally used by the black community, in a positive way. It has now been rebranded by white conservatives or “centrists” as a criticism of policies meant to promote inclusion. Nowadays, any film with a…

This is a clip from the 2001 Justice League series, which is still one of the best animated superhero adaptations. If you go into this clip blind, it appears Superman is telling Shazam that superheroes can’t pick political sides or do commercials. OK, so that seems like it is clear as day. Nachtbrezel is right, Superman…

So today’s post is inspired by this Twitter thread. So first, Paul Rudd discusses how restrictive his diet was for “Ant Man.” Then the commenter, Dave J. Dixon, uses Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine as another example. Jackman was a relatively last-minute replacement for Dougray Scott, so he didn’t get much time to prep physically. Maybe his…

As I’ve mentioned before, I got to do a review of a TIFF film for Trad. I picked Out of Sync, a Spanish film about a woman whose hearing begins to go out of sync with her surroundings. ‘Out of Sync’ hides its best moments out of sight – Trad Magazine

While scrolling through Twitter I came across this tweet. Now, I have know this for a while. Black people’s influence on rock and roll is one of the truths that often gets erased by Eurocentric music history that focuses on white figures and ignores all the black blues musicians and black rock figures that influenced…

Back in June 2023, the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action for colleges and universities across the U.S. Race is no longer a factor in admissions, allegedly. The original claims reminded me of Abigail Fisher, who I’ve written about before.  In Fisher’s case, she sued and argued that affirmative action was the reason she didn’t…

Once in a while though, I still come across something I have to share my thoughts on. Exhibit A. Now, many people in the comments point out this woman is white, not “light-skinned Latina.” Rosa Salazar is a good example of a light-skinned Latina. You can be any race and be hispanic. That is no…

I have been following updates on the Caster Semenya case for some time. Semenya is a woman, as verified by tests she was subjected to after winning her first world title. However, she was born with an XY chromosome, which men typically have. This gives her elevated levels of testosterone, which helps to promote muscle…

I remember celebrating New Year’s in Newmarket, a very monochromatic town in Canada. I asked one lady if she wanted to dance, only to get the “I don’t like black guys” spiel. I was hanging out with some people at a house party afterwards, and I mentioned the incident. One girl’s response was to say…

I typically avoid discussing the Kardashians in any shape or form. To me, the entire family represents the worst of society: The attention-craving, narcissistic, sycophantic, idol-worshippers who value people that have done nothing remarkable to get where they are. The Kardashian fans are the same ones who make “instamodels” blow up on social media, and…
