10 Christmas Movies That Shaped Me
🎄 Introduction Christmas movies are more than just background noise or seasonal fillers. For many of us, they become tradition, memory, and comfort all wrapped in one. These are the ten Christmas films that have stayed with me through the years—not always because they’re the “best,” but because of what they meant to me when I watched them. Some are warm and fuzzy. Some are chaotic and messy. All of them shaped my holiday spirit in one way or another.

Preventing Frame Drops When LLM Calls Occur During Navigation
The first time I felt it, I didn’t look at a profiler. I felt it in my thumb. I was navigating quickly between two screens, the way people do without thinking, and the transition hesitated for a split second. No freeze. No crash. Just a tiny hitch, like the app briefly forgot where it was going. That kind of hesitation is hard to explain to someone who hasn’t felt it, but once you do, you can’t unfeel it.

The Top 10 Christmas Movie Sequels That Actually Delivered
Christmas movies are not just films. They are rituals. Most movies are watched once, maybe twice, and then filed away as “something you saw.” Christmas movies, by contrast, are revisited annually, often at the same time, in the same rooms, with the same people. They become embedded in personal history. You remember watching Home Alone while wrapping gifts. You remember Christmas Vacation playing in the background during chaotic family gatherings. You remember A Christmas Story looping endlessly on cable while everyone drifted in and out of the room.

Open Letter to Disney: Prioritizing Human Creativity in the Age of AI
Disney's recent partnership with OpenAI, which will allow Sora to use over 200 characters—from Mickey Mouse to Yoda—to generate short, user-prompted videos, is being presented by the company as a major step in storytelling innovation. CEO Bob Iger claims this move is about "thoughtfully and responsibly extending the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works." A curated selection of these fan-created, Sora-generated clips featuring Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters will even appear on Disney+. The official line suggests this deal, which includes content guardrails and a commitment to "human-centered AI" and protecting "the rights of creators," is a way to engage fans and broaden creativity while still honoring the creative industries.
