There was something inspirational growing up in this era, so much hope through science and cooperation Which is why is feels so awful becoming an adult when anti-intellectualism and pride in lacking empathy have taken root

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.

$A screenshot of a map of the United States in the New York Times, showing a tiny fraction of the more than 2000 No Kings protests that took place across the country yesterday. This erasure is justified with a smug little note saying "Note: This map shows protests that have been confirmed and is not comprehensive."$ The actual map of No Kings protests in the United States, showing a map of the country nearly covered with black dots connoting individual protest locations. The 2000+ actions represented one of the very largest days of coordinated protests ever in American history and were noteworthy for their energy and commitment to nonviolence.

Eagerly awaiting all the pearl clutching we are no doubt about to have about Ben Affleck's new movie only opening half as well as Sinners despite having almost as big a budget. Anyone? Anyone??. Hmm.

In terms of new releases, Ben Affleck’s “The Accountant 2” is aiming for $20 million to $25 million from 3,610 theaters. Amazon MGM is backing the sequel to 2016’s “The Accountant,” which opened to $24.7 million and became a surprise hit, ending its theatrical run with $155 million globally. The second film cost a hefty $80 million (around double the first film’s $45 million price tag) before factoring in global marketing expenses.
