Space Jam was a formative part of any 90s kid's childhood and part of that was due in no small part to Lola Bunny.
Lola, who was a new design for the original Space Jam, showed up and took our collective breath away after she totally thrashed Bugs Bunny in a pick-up basketball match and whispered to him "don't ever call me doll."

With the news of Space Jam: A New Legacy on the horizon, fans are looking forward to the return of Lola Bunny.
She looks a little different this time.  Not much, but just enough to be noticeable.
The 1996 version of Lola has a crop top and very pronounced breasts, whereas the 2021 version of Lola does not.  The Tune Squad uniform is also different, being closer to a real basketball outfit than the original.
But not everyone is happy with the redesign.  Men, mostly conservative men, have started making some pretty creepy comments online about it.




Lola Bunny, who has never been a real woman and is in fact a drawing of a bunny, was definitely more overtly sexualized in the 90s.
  Her first scene features her walking in on sultry saxophone music.




Space Jam: A New Legacy's director, Malcolm D. Lee, says the revision of Lola was to force more focus onto her as a boon for the team rather than a sexualized piece of meat.
"This is 2021. It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters," he said, "a.k.a. the team's best non-LeBron player."




Raising the point that bunnies also don't usually play basketball or talk or wear hair elastics around their ears seems moot, if the discourse is going to revolve around said bunny's chest.
Which, FYI, female rabbits are called does and males are called bucks, like deer. Rabbit does have ten nipples, extending from their thoracic to the inguinal region.
Lola's crop top was flashing at least four of her "breasts." It's surprising conservatives are such staunch advocates of freeing the nipple.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sent heads spinning after claiming during a CNBC interview that President Donald Trump is a "more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term."
Bezos, discussing a man who has attacked voting rights multiple times, previously suggested he might try to stay in office indefinitely, and continued to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump is much more mellow and calmer than he was during the first Trump administration.

Nothing says innovation quite like replacing a person reading names with a machine that allegedly forgets to read the names.
That's what happened during Glendale Community College's commencement ceremony on Friday at Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona, where a "new AI system" reportedly skipped hundreds of students and displayed incorrect names as diplomas were handed out. In one instance, the name Michael D. Gonzales was announced while two women received their diplomas.

People might hope that when they make a new friend, they'll be friends for life. But the truth is, most friends will only be there for a reason or a season, like going to school or working together.
For former High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, that season was new motherhood, a time when she was eager to meet women who understood the questions she had about babies and raising them, but also preferably women who understood what it was like trying to juggle being a successful businesswoman with being a mom, too.

Vice President JD Vance made a point that seemed pretty obvious to everyone except him when he, mentioning Pope Leo XIV, gave his take on the historical context around the tenure of Pope Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 until 1903.
Speaking at a White House briefing focused on the possible impact of the pope’s upcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence, Vance highlighted the symbolism behind Robert Francis Prevost, the first U.S.-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Leo XIV.
