4/19/22: "Gina Carano Is Coming to Fan Expo, and It Isn't Going Over Well"- Yes this post is out of order on the list by date. That is because it is very important and will stay at the top for this month since it shows Geeked Colorado trying to keep diversity and equity alive in all fandoms and trying to keep cons a safe and an inclusive where fans do not have to worry about being attacked physically or mentally. https://www.westword.com/arts/gina-carano-fan-expo-denver-controversy-13856633

4/21/22: "Ken Jeong walks off 'The Masked Singer' after Rudy Giuliani reveal"- Even after watching The Masked Singer in the past and having seen movies with Jeong in it, like Crazy Rich Asians, I had never really thought about him. I know he had once been an actual doctor that had turned comedian, which I can not speak to his type of comedy since I am not familiar with his comedy, but never really thought about him. Then he goes and does this....My esteem of him just went way up. I do not know why they thought it was a good idea to have him on the show. It was really bad form and Jeong standing up for what is right was amazing. https://www.today.com/popculture/tv/ken-jeong-masked-singer-rudy-giuliani-reveal-rcna25344?fbclid=IwAR3WeXJv_7D4WULZhUTtBBq8J7C6cqJluz_6rTg_zZiVjrfuOGKeNzBkpBU
