I saw a really sweet picture Logan posted on Instagram on January 18th. It was of him and Lloyd sitting outside a restaurant, and Logan was giving a peace sign with a huge smile. The caption was simple – he just wrote, “Just spent the day with my brother.” It was a nice little glimpse into their relationship.
This campaign is challenging tech companies that use artists’ work without getting their approval. The Human Artistry Campaign launched the effort and announced who is backing it.
Ricky Gervais often speaks out against “cancel culture” in his comedy and interviews. He believes that trying to avoid causing offense stifles creativity and freedom of speech. Gervais, known for creating ‘The Office,’ argues that what people find offensive is personal, and artists shouldn’t be restricted because of it. He’s made it clear he won’t change his jokes to please those who complain online. He believes people are allowed to be offended, but they don’t have the right to stop others from expressing themselves.
The event happened on Wednesday, January 21st, and parents beamed as they had their pictures taken. Will, age 57, chose a stylish, all-dark outfit. He wore a black coat over a black sweater, paired with gray and black tweed pants.
As a huge fan, I was really interested to hear that James Cameron and his wife, Suzy, officially moved their family to New Zealand in August 2020! They’d actually owned a farm there since 2011, but the pandemic made them decide to make the move permanent a lot sooner than planned. He was pretty direct about why, saying that New Zealand just handles science and public health so much better than other places – it clearly made a big difference for him and his family.
Gina Carano, a former actress on ‘The Mandalorian,’ has publicly criticized what she calls “gender ideology.” Her views led to her dismissal from the ‘Star Wars’ franchise after she shared controversial opinions on social media, including her thoughts on using pronouns. Since then, Carano has associated with conservative news sources and often speaks out against medical procedures for transgender youth. She believes children are being swayed by trends and that those who disagree with the prevailing views are often silenced.
‘Minari’ tells the story of a Korean-American family who moves to a farm in Arkansas in the 1980s, hoping to achieve their version of the American Dream. The film explores the challenges Jacob and Monica face as they try to maintain their Korean culture while adjusting to a difficult life in the countryside. It’s a heartwarming story about family strength, particularly through the bond between a young boy and his unique grandmother. The movie has been praised for its realistic and compassionate portrayal of what it means to be an immigrant and the sacrifices families make.
Stacey Dash, known for her role in the movie ‘Clueless,’ is a public figure with strong conservative beliefs. She’s publicly disagreed with the Black Lives Matter movement and the idea of reducing funding for police. Dash believes that decreasing police presence could lead to increased crime, especially in communities that need the most help, and she consistently speaks out in favor of supporting law enforcement.
I just finished watching a fascinating film about Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper giant, and it really stuck with me. The movie doesn’t tell his story directly; instead, a reporter pieces it together after Kane’s death, talking to everyone who knew him. It’s less about what happened and more about how we understand a person, especially someone with so much power and influence. What’s really compelling is how the film shows the struggle between honest journalism and the ego of the man controlling the press. It’s a brilliantly constructed movie that feels like you’re actively investigating Kane’s life alongside the reporter.
I’ve always been a fan of Alice Cooper, but I was surprised to hear his views on gender-affirming care for young people last year. He seemed really worried about the increasing number of kids exploring gender transitions, suggesting it might just be a phase and could confuse them. He believes a child that young simply isn’t equipped to grasp something as complex as gender identity, and that a person’s sex is determined at birth. Honestly, it sounded like he was concerned parents might be rushing their kids into choices they’d later regret, and I can understand that concern, even if I don’t fully agree.
