From time to time President Barack Obama likes to let people know about the books he is reading.

He also provides film and television recommendations periodically.

As the year and the decade winds down, Obama once again updated his followers on Twitter with his best ofs.

The former President shared his favorite movies and TV shows in one list on Sunday, December 29.

Included were both theatrical and streaming releases in the list of 18 movies.

For television or streaming service episodic programs, Obama kept it to just three titles:

  • Fleabag: Season 2
  • Unbelievable
  • Watchmen
While none of the shows are exactly kid friendly, one title definitely drew people's notice for a specific scene from the show's pilot. And one would assume if a person watched season 2, they must have seen season 1.

The show?

Fleabag.
The scene?
Star Phoebe Waller-Bridge pleasures herself while watching a certain President giving a speech.

Some people did a bit of creative editing.

People weren't sure the recommendation meant Obama saw that scene though.





Only President Obama knows if he saw that scene and so far he's not answering that question.

Elon Musk Cries Racism After Associated Press Explains Why They Capitalize 'Black' But Not 'White'

Elon Musk has spent the year picking fights, from health research funding to imagined productivity crises among federal workers and whether DOGE accomplished anything at all besides leaving chaos in its wake.

His latest grievance, however, is thinly disguised as grammatical. Specifically, he is once again furious that the Associated Press (AP) capitalizes “Black” while keeping “white” lowercase.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
