So instead of a legitimate–and, I would argue, vital–debate about the quality of this film, the nation was plunged into a debate about Robbins and Sarandon’s right to speak their mind without fear of retribution against a movie that the New York Times originally panned as “unsteady,” “strained” and “grandstanding....

McConnell, who is from Kentucky, also said the final bill was “incomplete” and “imperfect” since it passed without several GOP amendments, but that it “includes several smart, targeted measures....

It’s unclear what the root of the login issue was, though the Among Us Twitter account’s recent tweet suggests that it may have been partially caused by multiple users logging into the same device non-simultaneously. This issue came after the new Airship map’s release at the end of last month.
