"Chris Hemsworth's collaboration with MrBeast is a smart move to boost his YouTube presence. Garnering over 333,000 views in just one day, it shows the power of teaming up with influential digital creators, even amidst potential controversy. While some backlash may arise, Hemsworth’s established brand and wide appeal will likely buffer any long-term damage. However, he should remain strategic about future collaborations to maintain his positive public image."

“The doctored Mother’s Day photo of Catherine was an unforced error that had the expected effect of stirring up a fresh dose of controversy and speculation. It was inevitable that the photo would be closely scrutinized, especially given that she has not been seen in public since undergoing abdominal surgery. The choice to distribute an altered image at this time was clearly a big mistake.

“While it was fine that Kate chose to issue an apology afterward, likening herself to “many amateur photographers” who “occasionally experiment with editing” strains credulity. As the Princess of Wales, she will always be held to a different standard, and I do not think that the public statement had the desired effect of downplaying the matter. All it did was raise more questions that it answered, which means future photos will be carefully examined for years to come.”

“Before people inevitably describe Trump's indictment as cancel culture let's be clear – this has ZERO to do with cancel culture. This is a legal matter involving due process – innocence or guilt will be determined in court, not by a Twitter mob of cancel vultures.”
