Gen Z wants action movies, not woke storylines: UCLA study

“…Gen Z would rather see movies that show two men fighting each other, rather than kissing one another, according to a new survey from the University of California Los Angeles.

The younger, college-aged generation ranked superhero movies and action films high in their interest list, along with “hopeful, uplifting content with people beating the odds” and “people with lives like my own” according to the survey.

Meanwhile, “Nonbinary and LGBTQIA+ Identities” is ranked at the bottom, according to the survey from UCLA’s Center for Scholars and Storytellers.

The survey of 1,500 people also found Gen Z is not interested in sexual content, which may explain their lack of interest in LGBT identity-focused programming.

Respondents reported that they use entertainment media “to escape and take my mind off of things.”

Storylines about political content such as “racial minorities,” “climate change,” and “immigration” do not make the top 10 ranking.”…”

I thought this was obvious at the time. Unpaid experts donating their time and flying in from across the country like this was a pilgrimage. Floyd died from a self administered drug overdose and heart disease. He was a sometimes violent petty criminal with a decades long rap sheet. He was not and is not a hero to any American. He was and is the opposite.

Ireland’s Taoiseach Had an Interesting Word to Describe One of Hamas’ Hostages

“…Emily Hand — the Israeli-Irish 9-year-old girl who was initially believed to have been killed by Hamas — was among the 17 hostages freed from Gaza on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.

She was released with the second batch of hostages – 13 Israelis and four Thai Nationals – after an initial hostage release on Friday, the first day of the temporary cease-fire.

Emily was among seven children ranging from 3 to 16, and six women ranging in age from 18 to 67, who were released in the second batch, the prime minister’s office announced…”

This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief.  Our prayers have been answered.

She was “lost.” Now she is “found.”

To Shrink Learning Gap, This District Offers Classes Separated by Race: 

“…High school in Evanston, Ill., offers so-called affinity classes, in which Black and Latino students are separated from white students…

…Nearly 200 Black and Latino students at Evanston Township High School signed up this year for math classes and a writing seminar intended for students of the same race, taught by a teacher of color. These optional so-called affinity classes are designed to address the achievement gap by making students feel more comfortable in class, district leaders have said, particularly in Advanced Placement courses that historically have enrolled few Black and Latino students.

“Our Black students are, for lack of a better word…at the bottom, consistently still. And they are being outperformed consistently,” Monique Parsons, Evanston school board vice president, said at a November board meeting. “It’s not good.”…”

Amazon Prime Video Removes ‘The Plot Against the President’ Documentary Without Explanation

Welcome to the Future of Climate Coverage, Where the Journalists Are the Activists

“…Covering Climate Now sells top journalists on plan to ‘transform media’ in response to climate ’emergency.’

In late September, with hundreds of journalists watching, Covering Climate Now co-founder Mark Hertsgaard began a two-day media conference with a call to arms.

Climate change, he told attendees at Columbia Journalism School, isn’t just a “problem” or “crisis.” It’s an emergency—one that requires breathless, around-the-clock coverage. Think COVID, Hertsgaard said, except it’s the planet that’s sick…”

Journalism? No.

Activism.
