How to Cancel Correctly
It is often that someone’s past seems to always come back to them one way or another. Either by making a small mistake that just haunts them, or forgetting to pay someone for a favor. In this current time we live in, that small mistake can lead to serious issues. In that case, most times this can be dealt with in private. For celebrities, their mistakes will be discovered. This can lead to people’s perspective of that said celebrity to change for the worse. With this now going on in today’s standards, this has developed the Cancel Culture.

What do we need to know about Shallon Lester?
Who is Shallon Lester? She is a You Tuber known for talking about celebrities. She also gives relationship advise. Recently there’s been a wave of controversy about this You Tuber. Suddenly everyone is talking about how she is a bully, and how she made up a story about an encounter with the famous Harry Styles. Not only that has caught the eye of many people, but also the fact that she tweeted a couple of years ago about sexually fantasizing of Justin Bieber, who was only 16 years old at the moment, is horrifying.

Charli D'Amelio's Fans Have Created A Petition To Ban Blogger Perez Hilton From TikTok
It seems like TikTok users are not happy with the celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton after he used his blog and social media channels to express his opinion about the famous stars of TikTok, which is generally used by the Generation Z. A petition has been created by netizens aiming to remove Hilton from TikTok. This petition came shortly after Hilton commented on a TikTok video of Charli D'Amelio, who is currently the biggest star on the short-form video platform. The backlash that Hilton has received following his comments about D'Amelio explains why most of the lifestyle bloggers stay away from talking about the app's users.

Actors ARE NOT their characters!
I love Star Wars. But in some ways I'm afraid to say that because of the reputation the fandom has of being overly toxic and critical. They bullied Kelly Marie Tran off of social media when they didn't like her character in The Last Jedi. They bullied Rian Johnson for creating The Last Jedi. They bullied Hayden Christensen out of acting because his portrayal of a teen/young adult male was too awkward (Imagine that!) They even bullied a literal child into a life of anxiety and depression because they didn't like that he portrayed future Darth Vader as, get this, a CHILD. I gotta say, it seems nobody hates of Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.

Bloody Sam On the Lam
His name is one that brings memories of a mad genius; a cinema auteur with balls of steel. He was a man who would redefine the Western genre and horrifically expose the true nature of inhumanity and violence, that the old school studios and television audiences took for granted; while at the same time, serving as the ground work for the newest generations of directors and Hollywood rebels. This is the story of Sam Peckinpah.

Postcards from a Pandemic, Part Three:
Call me crazy, but in the middle of a disaster, I’ve been distracting myself with…disaster. I can’t help it. I’m an Armageddon junkie. As a writer, I’m naturally interested in contrasting and comparing fictional depictions of mass casualty, civilization-threatening events with the nearest analogue in recent history: this here big ol’ pandemic. It interests me, sometimes in comforting, sometimes in disturbing ways.
