One of the most irritating comparisons to emerge after the release of Aquaman are all of the half-baked correlations made between the movie and Black Panther.

Schneider's words are indicative of a culture that would rather defend powerful men and their right to punch downwards than do any sort of actual reflection on the way jokes can assist in oppression.

How dare they dance? How dare they sing? Celebrities and politicians, this happy? What is this? The dark ages? For those who don't understand this sarcasm, let me explain: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in a video in college dancing like (essentially) the members of the Breakfast Club, and the GOP tried to mock her for it.

Jesus Christ, people, aren't you as exhausted by this kind of behavior as I am?

Among all the historic firsts in the newly sworn-in Congress, someone we haven't talked about much is Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema. Not only is she the first female Senator from her state, but she's also the first openly bisexual person to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

"You have grown, you have apologized, you are apologizing again right now. You’ve done it. Host the Oscars.” Hold on just a minute, there.

Republicans released a video attempting to shame Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for dancing, instead making themselves look like cartoon villains.

Movie tropes are just part of the game, but it's getting to the point where we know exactly how a character is going to act based on their careers, and 90% of the time, it doesn't line up with reality at all. A writer who never pitches anywhere and only has to write one piece to live by themselves in Manhattan? Where do I sign up for that job?

Even if you agree with the movie’s politics, there may be limited entertainment value in the slow-motion dread of watching the geopolitical events you already know helped put the world and the country in its current state, but my first thought when I exited the movie over the holiday weekend was that Vice is the single most socially responsible movie about a male antihero I’ve ever seen.

With so many women joining the ranks of the House–some of them mothers, and some single mothers at that–it will be interesting to see how the dynamic on that floor changes. If today was any indication, it'll be for the better.

This nickname for Peter Parker is sad and perfect.

Some like to start off the new year by kicking off new year’s resolutions and being productive. That’s all fine and good, but what about hibernating with some new shows first? Get a two-year subscription to CuriosityStream for $29.99 at the Mary Sue Shop, a savings of 25%.

For those who enjoyed the scenes we got of Batwoman in the three-episode "Elseworlds" crossover, you can rejoice.
