"I said, 'We cannot identify him with any act of terrorism reflecting an ideology or a religion. That’s not ­something I would entertain, so if that is why I am your choice then you can count me out.'"

Daisy Ridley Hints We’ll Know More About Rey’s Parents in The Rise of Skywalker and I’m Tired

Daisy Ridley as Rey and Mark Hamill as Luke in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
At one point in time, I deeply cared about who Rey's parents were. I had theories. Multiple theories, to be exact. Then, Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out and I stopped caring, because Rian Johnson answered the question and because the fandom had made me thoroughly not care.

Alex Morgan of the USA celebrates a goal against England by miming tea.
This week, the USWNT had another victory, this time over England. They won 2-1 and after scoring the first goal, Alex Morgan celebrated by miming sipping a cup of tea. It was a silly, unexpected, harmless gag but that didn't stop a whole lot of people from finding a way to be really upset over it.
