Although the film was promoted as a rip-off of James Cameron's The Terminator (1984), it is primarily a rip-off of Cameron's subsequent film Aliens (1986). It was released in some countries as Terminator II, as it had been made two years before Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

The kids are waking up yet again. The same way we are reaching for 90s silhouettes when it comes to getting dressed, Gen Z is yearning for everything “Entourage” has preserved and hoping to inject it into their day to day now- but they can’t. “Entourage” is a time capsule for the last era before every interaction became content, every hobby a new possible stream of income, and every night out needed to justify itself. The nostalgia really stems from the way of living so effortlessly represented that disappeared before most Gen Zers were old enough to experience it. The good news? Its return tells me that this generation hasn’t completely lost the plot. We still recognize authenticity when we see it. Maybe that’s the encouraging part. If Entourage is finding a new audience in 2026, maybe we’re finally getting tired of living life as a performance.

Tweet reads: saw JURASSIC PARK (1993) in a theatre tonight. a truly great and meaningless movie, with no big themes or whatever. pure joy, with some scares, and yuks. despite seeing it probably 150 times, I had somehow forgotten how funny Goldblum is, and how evil Attenborough is.

Michel Foucault
- “Torch Song” is the standout poem - Collection deserves a place on the shelves of local and regional public libraries. A great example of how to play with words and structure for poetry classes. - Title is curiously bizarre and the cover image is arresting, busy, and absurd - It’s rare to have humorous sections of poetry books, and the judges appreciated this aspect of the work, most noting that they laughed aloud.

People were right to object to lockdowns and other public-health measures, Smith argued. After all, Foucault taught that “science” and “health” are never “neutral, objective categories” but that they “always contain, and usually conceal, projects for reshaping humanity.” Far from being responsible for wokeism, Smith suggested in another essay, “The Unwoke Foucault,” the philosopher encourages us to beware authorities — “from human resources to university administrators” — who would solicit our “blameworthy thoughts, feelings and habits centered on race, or rather on ‘whiteness.’”
