The whole #barbenheimer thing is peak crap of the internet. It's just another oddball cringe trend that people got swept up in because it was weird but when you look back at it, probably be more embarrassing than a fond memory.
I watched the Oppenheimer film. I think it was well casted and the story peaked further interest in the real history of events. I heard people cried at the end of Barbie, but I felt like going through Oppenheimer felt way more emotional. Living through atrocities that people put each other through is maddening and frustrating. Especially if you are helpless against it. And I know people will argue history on how at the time of WW2, they were faced with few choices. But that is one message of the film, it's all about the choices people make and how they impact others.
I lived through 9/11 and I knew my choice was not to do any invasion in the Middle East. Knowing the history of those wars seemed pretty clear to me that the war on terror was not going to make any benefit for the community at home. We now have 20 years of history put into that fiasco. Will this be a lesson learned. No because people just want to pretend it didn't happen. We may not have had a bombing event of that scale again but lives still have been lost to war since.
I'll just give it some more time when media looks to monetize that history some more and see those memes make the rounds. Yikes.
Amazing list any fan should see

Kinda cool and a little ridiculous. AI art is controversial but amusing with the creations. Little details seem to propagate in abundance towards the unrealistic. I like it for crazy concepts than actually finalized art.
I think this video is on point. All the political drama dealing with kids is parents relinquishing their obligation of their duty as parents to the government or to technology. The government and tech industry are not innocent but the first line of defense to creating good natured and smart kids is their home.
If you are a parent right now, take away the tech and do something together. Do it once, then do it again and then do it often. Just because you became a parent doesn't mean you stop learning. It becomes an opportunity to learn something in a new way with your kid.

This is significant. The Onion, who hands down has been one of the best satires available making poignant articles even with humor bought out one of the worst propaganda machines out there. If you really don't know who Alex Jones is, he's the evil guy who tormented the families who lost little kids when they were murdered in their school in 2012. This vile human kept accusing these families of being actors and faking the whole thing to the extent that people who listened to his show, purposefully harassed these families. Even just thinking about this again has me sobbing.
Every time there is another mass shooting, The Onion also posts their now infamous article 'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.
This guy and his "media empire" deserves to be torn apart. But it's not the end goal. It's just another battle against misinformation and violence in this country. But it's a win.
