We measure our worth in grades we receive and the deadlines we meet, but never in the amount of time we take for ourselves. Our hard work comes with the price of neglecting our emotional needs.
Attempts at progress seem more like self-serving symbolic recognition rather than an actual understanding of contemporary cultural conversation. Maybe that’s why “Challengers” was snubbed — it found larger recognition amongst those younger crowds, people whose opinion the Academy may not want to be aligned with.
Passport Bros often lack awareness of the damage they cause, which can echo neocolonialism — the indirect control of developing countries by colonial nations.
In fashion, age almost always proves to be more than a number— it becomes a rule book with rigid restrictions based on the ever-changing definition of appropriate.
Although the initial ban lasted less than a day, from Jan. 18 – 19, it has been a major talking point for almost a year. Millions of American content creators — both big and small — have feared the loss of their income sources, while users have mourned the loss of community and sense of belonging.
Enthusiasts should certainly share their critiques, but when leaks are framed as gaming “news,” fans often blame the company instead of those spreading classified information.
Thus, I absolutely reject any fence-sitters.

It’s entirely founded upon a position of privilege, expecting some miraculous force to solve all sufferings.
We can’t expect to battle climate change when we don’t even have a decent way of talking about it. Something needs to give — we need to think about restructuring these events to make more headway.
I can only imagine that if the roles were reversed — and this were an Emma Stone look-alike contest — it would be incredibly harmful to women. The contest would be degrading rather than funny, as attendees judge the women who showed up on their bodies and faces. Holding women to old beauty standards once again, it would be a regression of the progress we’ve made.
What if, as a consequence of Vance’s enforcement of open-sourcing model weights, the People’s Liberation Army had open access to the weights of frontier American models? The implications might be detrimental, and here’s why.
Now, the expression stands for something entirely different. On the surface, it makes sense. It’s no easy feat to abandon a label you love, but when these harmful offenses are as recurring as Dolce & Gabbana, can we truly separate the two? If artists are their art, as many argue, does supporting the product inherently support the person — or, in this case, the brand and its values?
