La Chancla Would’ve Fixed Star Wars

Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga with chanclas as weapons of peace.

Star Wars as a franchise would've been changed if la chancla and it's celestial powers, forged by space Latinos, would've been wielded.

WandaVision’s Biggest Plot Twist: I Care About Vision Now?

Paul Bettany and Elizabeth Olsen in WandaVision

Color me shocked that I suddenly care about Vision? For years, I made jokes about him being a computer and didn't particularly care when he died because I only cared about Wanda. And now I ... love him? Someone help!

Bridgerton Should Have Been Far More Queer

Benedict Bridgerton in Bridgerton

Quite frankly, I expected far more queer representation from 'Bridgerton,' a show that presented itself as an enlightened, saucy, and norms-breaking spin on tired old bodice-ripping tropes.

Biden Immediately Disbands Trump’s Racist 1776 Commission

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 20: U.S. President Joe Biden prepares to sign a series of executive orders at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office just hours after his inauguration on January 20, 2021 in Washington, DC. Biden became the 46th president of the United States earlier today during the ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

The 1776 commission is horrific, dangerous, and disgusting. There is no other way to describe it. So it's a relief to see the Biden administration withdrawing the report and suspending the website. There is still so much work to be done, but this is a great place to start.
