Planarwalk, a YouTuber from New Zealand, decided to scroll through TikTok a while ago, and all that showed up on his feed was stuff that made the entire userbase look like they are unable to tie their shoelaces, and lately, a particular uniquely stupid trend has been gaining traction. He fears that if aliens from another planet see these trends that they will blow us out of existence. Is his fear justified? Let’s take a look.

The trend of producing reaction videos has gained significant popularity in recent years. In these videos, content creators react to various forms of media, including movies, TV shows, music videos, and viral clips, among others. This trend has both positive and negative aspects, which are worth discussing.
One of the primary advantages of reaction videos is that they offer a unique and personal perspective on media. Viewers get to witness the raw and genuine reactions of the content creators, which can be entertaining and insightful. Additionally, reaction videos can serve as a guide for people who are unsure about whether or not to watch a particular movie or TV show. The content creator’s reaction can help them decide whether the media is worth their time and effort.
Another pro of reaction videos is that they can be highly engaging and entertaining. Viewers often find themselves watching the entire video from beginning to end, as they become invested in the content creator’s reaction. Moreover, reaction videos have the potential to create a sense of community and shared experience among viewers. When a content creator reacts to a popular show or movie, it can spark discussion and dialogue among viewers, creating a sense of connection.
On the other hand, reaction videos also have some downsides. One of the main criticisms is that they can be seen as unoriginal or lazy. Some viewers argue that content creators are merely riding on the coattails of popular media and not offering anything unique or creative. Furthermore, some critics suggest that reaction videos can infringe on copyright laws, as they often use significant portions of the original media without permission.
Additionally, some people argue that reaction videos are too reactive, and they don’t add value to the media itself. Critics argue that the content creator’s reaction can be subjective and not necessarily reflective of the overall quality of the media. In other words, just because a content creator has a particular reaction to a movie or TV show, it does not mean that it is universally enjoyable or not.
In conclusion, the trend of producing reaction videos has both positive and negative aspects. While they can be entertaining and offer unique perspectives, they can also be seen as unoriginal and potentially infringe on copyright laws. Ultimately, the value of reaction videos depends on the quality of the content creator and the media they are reacting to, and it is up to viewers to decide if they find them worth watching.
As we are of the opinion that “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” is a movie worth being sorted in this collection, we are now trying one reaction video to it. There are a lot of reaction video channels, so we had to choose one. This is Shree Nation and she watches the movie for the first time.

Today Emma is checking out Classically Abby’s new podcast. In this first episode, Abby explains why she knows best what will make you happy, (spoiler alert: it’s having babies and NOT having choices). It’s hilariously hypocritical, factually spurious (see: investing statistics out of nowhere) and just generally infuriating. Hooray!

The book “5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman has received widespread acclaim for its insights into the ways in which people express and experience love. However, it has also been criticized for its absolute categorization of the 5 love languages (words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, physical touch, and quality time) and the suggestion that individuals can only possess one primary love language. This can be problematic as it fails to take into account the complexity and fluidity of human emotions and relationships. People may express and experience love in different ways at different times and in different contexts, and to suggest that there are only 5 fixed love languages can oversimplify and invalidate the diverse ways in which people give and receive love. Big Joel takes a deeper look at these problems:

It is important to recognize that while the 5 love languages may be a useful framework for understanding and communicating love, they should not be treated as absolutes. Every individual and relationship is unique and it is important to remain open and responsive to the constantly evolving nature of love. But people are sometimes a bit confused about what the message is, as Joel points out in a follow up video:

Once upon a time, in a world filled with magic and wonder, there was a young boy named Harry Potter. He lived a mundane life with his abusive aunt and uncle, until the day he discovered that he was a wizard. As Harry began his journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he faced many challenges and made countless friends, including Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. However, as they navigated the magical world and faced off against the dark wizard Voldemort, they also encountered instances of transphobia. JK Rowling, the creator of the Harry Potter series, has faced criticism for her past comments and actions regarding the transgender community. While the themes of love and acceptance are present in the Harry Potter series, it is important to recognize and acknowledge the harm caused by these instances of transphobia. Despite this, the story of Harry Potter remains a beloved and influential one, full of adventure, friendship, and the power of love to conquer hate. “Ironic”, as a character of another franchise would say it. To start this insight, let’s look back at an essay by Sarah Z, where she traces the Harry Potter series author’s journey towards transphobia. An exploration of a terrible manifesto, separating the art from the artist, and Hatsune Miku.

In conclusion, the controversy surrounding JK Rowling and her transphobic writings cannot be ignored. While she has been a beloved and influential author for many, her actions and words have caused harm to the transgender community. It is important to acknowledge and recognize this harm, and to continue to strive for acceptance and inclusivity in all aspects of society.
As we move forward, it is crucial that we continue to have open and honest conversations about these issues, and to actively work towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate world. While the past cannot be changed, we have the power to shape the future and create a more just and equitable society for all. This is the point we are at now, and it is up to us to take action and make a difference.

Brexit, short for “British exit,” refers to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union (EU). After a referendum in June 2016, where 51.9% of voters chose to leave, the UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020.
The aftermath of Brexit has been tumultuous for the UK, with significant economic, political, and social consequences. The UK’s departure from the EU has resulted in trade disruptions, a decline in foreign investment, and a loss of jobs. It has also created uncertainty for businesses and individuals, particularly in industries such as finance and agriculture.
Additionally, Brexit has raised questions about the future of the United Kingdom itself, with Scotland and Northern Ireland considering independence from the UK to maintain ties with the EU. The decision to leave the EU has also created tensions within the UK, particularly between those who supported Brexit and those who opposed it.
Mica from the channel Ponderful is one Brit in EU, and she tells her story of how the Stop Brexit campaign was used not to stop Brexit, but to prevent a progressive government in the UK. She says, she’s more angry at the People’s Vote & Remain campaigners than she is with the Tories for the mess that is Brexit. At least the Tories were open about what they wanted.
