Zachary Levi Continues Blaming Dwayne Johnson for ‘Shazam! 2′

via Warner Bros. With Shazam! Fury of the Gods on course to bomb miserably at the box office, it feels as though a weight has been lifted off the shoulders of leading man Zachary Levi, who now seems happy to unleash his own fury upon opposite number Dwayne Johnson. Throughout the dovetailing existences of both David F. Sandberg’s sequel and The Rock’s long-gestating passion project Black Adam, rumors ran rampant that the latter wasn’t exactly interested in crossing paths with his comic book arch-nemesis, even…

Blaming TikTok for Harming Students Is Easy. Proving It Isn’t

About half of adolescents have had a mental health disorder at some point in their lives, and some school districts are putting at least part of the blame on social media companies that they say addict America's youth.

Blaming Gay Men for Monkeypox Will Harm Everyone

In Chicago last month, thousands of gay men gathered for the first time in three years for the annual International Mr. Leather conference, a four-day-long affair where men from all over the world gathered to strut their stuff in leather gear, have lots of sex, and compete to be named International Mr. Leather.

I found myself very concerned about the event in part…
