The film adaptation of Wicked is breaking box office records and is likely to be the biggest movie of the Thanksgiving season. But it’s also become ground zero for a newly invigorated debate about theater etiquette that’s been raging for a few years now and is only getting more heated as more people than ever whip out their phones to take photos and videos of the latest big movie. Or start singing . And I’m here to tell these people to knock it off. As I was scrolling the dying corpse of what was once called Twitter, I came across a tweet of someone sharing a photo they took of Wicked’s title card while watching the hit movie in a theater. They asked people to share their photos of seeing Wicked . Hundreds of people did . It was all very depressing and frustrating to see. It then led to even more people calling out the initial post and getting into online debates. The arguments that the people taking photos usually trot out include things like, “I had my screen dimmed and only took one or two pictures!” or “I paid money, I’m allowed to use my phone!” or even “I want to chat with my friends while watching a movie.” All of these arguments are dumb. I don’t care how dim your device’s screen is, you taking a photo is annoying. I’d also wager that anyone willing to hoist their camera up—possibly blocking other people’s view of the screen—to take an image of the movie in a packed theater is likely the kind of person who might also start singing or talking loudly, ruining the experience for other people trying to enjoy the film. Also, you paid money for a ticket to watch a movie. That’s it. That ticket doesn’t magically make you more important than anyone else or absolve you from following the same rules that apply to all moviegoers at your theater. How many fucking ads and videos begging you to turn off your phone and be quiet do you need to see before the movie starts? And if you want to chat with your friends or text or video call them or whatever, why are you doing that in a theater? If you are trying to reach someone because of an emergency, step outside. If someone you really want to talk to DMs you, step outside. If you get a phone call, please, step outside! One time while at a movie, I got a phone call from my father. I had my phone set to vibrate and when I got the call, I looked down, saw he called, got up and texted him from the hallway. It wasn’t an emergency, so I told him I’d call back later, put my phone away, and went back to my seat. It’s really that easy. Stop ruining the experience As for taking photos or videos of the screen for TikTok or whichever social media platform you prefer, just don’t do it. Perhaps you don’t care about the experience of seeing a movie in a dark theater, but a lot of people do. A lot of folks pay money, not a small amount these days, to eat some popcorn and enjoy a movie on a big screen in a room where we all collectively agree to be quiet and focused on one thing: the movie. It’s a truly amazing and magical experience. That might sound corny or like I’m taking movies super seriously, but I’m just being honest. I think you should watch movies however you want at home. Watch the latest arthouse flick on your phone. Binge the same MCU movies over and over and claim they are true cinema. Fine! But when you are in public in a theater, you have to act better. You have to have good movie manners. And look, I get it. I’m far too online. My job forces me to be online all the time. My phone is with me 24/7. I check the news at 2 a.m. and work on my vacation. I understand it might be hard to disconnect. But what I love about seeing a movie in a theater is that it forces me, for a few hours, to truly disconnect from reality and all the stresses of living online and just... disappear into a movie. Take advantage of this one rare moment where society (mostly) agrees on disconnecting and being quiet. When some jackass starts using their phone, it breaks all of that, especially if the screen is bright or they are being loud. I don’t want to hear your text message notification noise. I don’t want to see your phone’s glowing screen in the corner of my eye. I just want to watch a movie in a dark, quiet room on a giant screen for like three hours, and I paid money to do so. Don’t ruin that. If you can’t stop using your phone or talking, then go watch a movie at home and do whatever you want. That’s fine! Just leave theaters for people able to keep their phones in their pockets, muted and mostly forgotten, for a few precious hours.

A Dec. 9 Facebook post ( includes an image asserting that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a popular candy will be inaccessible in the U.S. in 2025. “BREAKING: Effective January 20 , Hershey’s Chocolate will be BANNED in the United States,” reads the text on the image, which is a screenshot of a post by @RFKJrHealthSec on X. “Make America Healthy Again. #MAHA.” Other versions of the claim circulated . | | There’s no evidence of any such ban.

Kennedy responded to Trump's nomination by saying he was "committed to advancing your vision to Make America Healthy Again" in .

Swiss National Bank Has $12.15 Million Position in GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:GXO)Nascent right-wing venture capitalist has become the leading Trump family member in his father’s inner circle during the presidential transition period. A half dozen sources told Reuters that President-elect ’s eldest child has been a key advisory figure as his dad has put forward a string of controversial cabinet nominees, marshalling some of the wildest picks himself. Trump, who steadfastly advocated for his good pal and Ohio Senator as Trump’s running mate, blocked former Secretary of State from returning to Trump’s cabinet, the news agency reported. He is also, apparently, a driving force behind two the planned nominations of Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary and former Rep. as Director of National Intelligence. Kennedy is the anti-vaxxer conspiracist black sheep of the famous Massachusetts clan that has produced three generations of Democratic politicians. Gabbard is a former Democratic politician turned MAGA diehard who surprised Don Jr.‘s dad with the news that she’d joined the GOP at a rally in North Carolina last month. Kennedy’s habit of spreading scientifically disproven nonsense and Gabbard’s habit of downplaying alleged crimes by Russian President and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have made both controversial picks. Don Jr. is said to pride loyalty to his father and an anti-establishment worldview that includes a desire to implement protectionist economics and cut back on foreign military intervention, Reuters reported. His dad has not, however, taken Don Jr.‘s counsel as gospel. Trump chose Senator (R-FL), whose foreign policy views are more in line with the mainstream GOP, as his nominee to lead the State Department. Don Jr. wanted his friend Ric Grenell, a former ambassador to Germany, a source told Reuters. Don Jr. is set to join right wing venture capital fund 1789 Capital and is listed as a “Web3 ambassador” for World Liberty Financial, the Trump family crypto venture. He plans to continue advising his father when he is back in the White House, though not on a day-to-day basis, and won’t give up . That means he will likely remain the most active and influential Trump family member in the president’s inner cloister. During his first term in office, that role went to Trump’s son-in-law and daughter —the married couple were both tapped as presidential advisors. Kushner will be informally involved in the second Trump term, advising on Middle East policy, the half dozen sources Reuters spoke to said. Kushner confirmed he has already been briefing real estate investor Steve Witkoff, Trump’s planned special envoy to the region. Kushner, Ivanka and sibling , the executive vice president of the , don’t plan to join the administration. Teenage son —who advised his father on which bro-y podcasts to appear on during the campaign—is busy with his studies at New York University. While Don Jr. has emerged as an influential voice, he’s not currently advising his father full-time, and a source told Reuters that Trump’s second term may find him leaning less on his family than before. They noted Susie Wiles, Trump’s co-campaign manager who is poised to be his White House Chief of Staff, as having built a disciplined organization that can operate without Trump leaning on his family. “Stuff is really buttoned down,” the source told Reuters. “He may not need the family this time like he used to.”
