'Avatar: Fire And Ash' Review: James Cameron's Sci-Fi Trilogy Reaches An Explosive Conclusion James Cameron’s biggest and most unwieldy movie yet is also his most open-hearted. Read our 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' review.

James Cameron does it again. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" is bigger, longer, more unwieldy—and the most enthralling Hollywood blockbuster in years. Stirring spectacle. Wrenching melodrama. Overwhelming beauty. No one’s making old-school religious epics like this www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

ISSUES

Basic Existence
The United States is the richest country in the world and yet most Americans can't even afford a $1,000 emergency expense. We have the most billionaires of any country but also the most medical bankruptcies. And while prices have increased by about 50% in the last 15 years, the federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at a mere $7.25.

This is nonsense. We deserve better.

You should be able to comfortably afford housing, groceries, and healthcare each month with plenty of money left over. There's no reason you should have to take an Uber to the hospital to avoid an ambulance bill while Elon Musk hides away in his own personal compound. Our existence isn't merely a means of profit for the richest people in society. These ideas shouldn't be controversial and are at the very core of my campaign. We're often told that it's a lot more complicated than you think, but it doesn't have to be.

We need more people in Congress who see basic existence as a black-or-white issue. Taxing billionaires and corporations is not some woke crusade against merit. It's simply making them pay their fair share like the rest of us do. It's time to ditch indecision and greed so we can demand what the working class deserves: a life lived in pursuit of happiness, rather than constant fear of poverty.

We've raised over $200,000 in the first 24 hours of our campaign because people believe in our "far-left" ideas like Existence Shouldn't Be So Difficult.

If you've got $5 or $10 to spare, consider chipping in. We're powered by donors like you, NOT corporations: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

How Ken Burns' “Shadow Ball” Connects Baseball's Past to Our Uncertain Future | Features | Roger Ebert To watch the fifth episode of Ken Burns' "Baseball" is to see exactly what makes the sport great as a metaphor for the country.

I've been wanting to write a piece about Ken Burns' BASEBALL for sometime.

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I wrote about the importance of the Negro Leagues history recorded in part five SHADOW BALL, especially when the government is erasing Jackie Robinson.
