Missouri’s U.S. Senator Josh Hawley sucks. Our lovely Vivian Kane wrote up why he sucks, and she said it better than I could because I just want to scream in his gross face because he’s disgusting and a disgrace to America as a whole. Due to Hawley’s determination to claim the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent, which resulted in the uprising and domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol building this week, Hawley’s book deal with Simon & Schuster has been canceled.
In a tweet that is truly hilarious, Hawley writes about the “woke mob” of Simon & Schuster and says that it’s “Orwellian” that they are taking away his right of free speech. By that logic, we all have a right to a book deal, right?

2020 has been hard. No one is denying that, but because we’re all online™ more often than not, we’re … a lot thirstier than we’ve been in years past, which … I get it. We’ve all been trapped at home, some of us alone, so all our normal thirst we tamp down on in normal times is … fully on display.
Twitter has just been everyone dumping their love for people on their timelines, and honestly, I’m grateful that I have a job that lets me thirst on my main and doesn’t silence my need to tweet about how hot actors are. It’s just my lot in life, and I’ve had to accept that. Trust me, it’s taken me years. I remember getting made fun of for my love of Hayden Christensen when I was 13 years old. Now? I get paid to thirst.
Fate: The Winx Saga, a live-action adaptation of the popular Italian-American animated series
Winx Club. Much to our disappointment, the live-action series contained none of the sparkle or bright colors of its animated predecessor. Sure, a more grounded approach may translate better in live-action, but it got us thinking about Hollywood’s tendency to grim-wash upbeat franchises with desaturated color, heavy-handed angst, and plenty of cursing and violence. They also white-washed franchise characters, which is a wholly separate and very disturbing issue.
Look, don’t get us wrong: there is plenty of room for cursing and violence on our screens (and in our hearts?). But some franchises just don’t lend themselves to gritty reboots. And just because something is dark and serious, that doesn’t make it more mature or artistic. We’ve especially seen this in superhero content remember Nightwing’s meme-worthy “f-ck Batman” moment? We wish we didn’t. Here are some other pro
