How Everyone Misunderstood Joker: Folie à Deux and the Ideology Behind the Joker
Since its announcement, *Joker: Folie à Deux*, the sequel to Todd Phillips’ critically acclaimed *Joker* (2019), has generated controversy and debate among fans and critics alike. Much of the backlash centers around rumors that the film might “erase” the first movie or shift the iconic role of the Joker to someone else by its conclusion. These anxieties seem to stem from a misunderstanding of the Joker as a character, as well as from expectations based on conventional comic book and superhero narratives.

Gilmore Girls
I have started my yearly rewatch of Gilmore Girls as one does in the fall. And I of course have many thoughts on the show. I first watch this show when I was super young, I used to watch it with my mom. I didn't actually watch the full series until college, and now I watch it all the time and it makes me feel close to my momma.
