ELEMENTAL--DISNEY FOX OFFCE BOMB-------FEATURING ITS FIRST NON-BINARY CHARACTER, COULD BE PIXAR'S WORSE OPENING EVER

The new animated movie "Elemental" is Disney’s first film with a non-binary character. However, the children's movie is flopping at the box office in its opening weekend, and could be the lowest-earning Pixar movie in the studio's history.

The movie – which is rated for children ages 6 and up – "tackles" racism and xenophobia. The film also features Disney's first-ever non-binary character.  MORE AT Disney's Elemental movie flops at box office, feature non-binary character and xenophobia theme - TheBlaze

REASON---CONGRESS HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CDC STIFFLING DISSENT---WALENSKY REFUSED TO ANSWER

ROBBY SOAVE | 6.15.2023 9:36 AM

Rep. James Comer (R–Ky.) grilled Walensky about the CDC's communications with social media companies—Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, in particular—during her tenure as the head of the federal agency chiefly responsible for battling COVID-19.

As reported in Reason's March 2023 issue, Walensky's CDC routinely communicated with content moderators and Facebook, recommending aggressive takedowns of purported misinformation about mitigation efforts, COVID-19's origins, and vaccines:

According to a trove of confidential documents obtained by Reason, health advisers at the CDC had significant input on pandemic-era social media policies at Facebook as well. They were consulted frequently, at times daily. They were actively involved in the affairs of content moderators, providing constant and ever-evolving guidance. They requested frequent updates about which topics were trending on the platforms, and they recommended what kinds of content should be deemed false or misleading. "Here are two issues we are seeing a great deal of misinfo on that we wanted to flag for you all," reads one note from a CDC official. Another email with sample Facebook posts attached begins: "BOLO for a small but growing area of misinfo."

These Facebook Files show that the platform responded with incredible deference. MORE AT Rochelle Walensky Refused To Answer Questions About the CDC Stifling Dissent (reason.com)
