It's not the reviewer's job to defer to movies that are trying to be junk food. You would not trust a food critic who held up Flamin' Hot Cheetos like filet mignon.

I'd argue that having multiple professional Big 4 sports teams is probably the line. Cities like Green Bay are not major cities, despite the presence of a very notable professional sports team.

Professional, top-tier sports teams is a useful measure of this, IMO. If you have an NBA team or whatever, you're a major city.

Time will tell. These ratings came from "controversy" which seems to have sparked the big sports media to hype the sport up.

The ability to change things through "the proper channels" increasingly feels closed off to many. You can't change the makeup of the Senate, because you don't live in a red state, you can't change the makeup of the Supreme Court, because they aren't elected, you can't even be sure that a majority vote will change the presidency. And if it did there's no guarantee that if you did, you'll get someone who won't immediately be turned by corporate interests.

This dysfunction and lack of trust in our democracy results in people trying to wield power through the means available to them: consumer choices, stray acts of violence, fixations on things that are "not the real problem" but seem, at least, possible to alter.

People focus on Rowling and Chappelle "instead of" legislators (I think often this is a false dichotomy; plenty of people do both), because they feel, not without reason, that it is impossible to change the latter group of people's grip on power.

Which isn't to downplay the real impacts that influential media figures can have on their own; others ITT have made good points about why this stuff is worth opposing.

Good reminder that the practice of taking and publicizing mugshots is pretty scummy - ostensibly their publication is banned in NY, but the law gives police wide deference to choose whose to release.

  1. How often are you seeing 7th Heaven on television in 2023?
  2. Cosby's fame meant his case received vastly more attention; the average viewer is more likely to be aware of his crimes.
  3. His name is the title of the show; it's harder to disentangle him from the work.

If visibility so good on these monstrocities, then why are pedestrian deaths up?
The front blind spot is measurably bigger, but just as big a factor is the fact that they hit higher on the human body. Instead of getting hit in the legs and rolling on the hood, you get hit in the chest and go down.
