Respect for U.S. Improves Since Trump Has Left Office

May 01, 2021

This is what anyone would have expected.

For the United States to recover the level of esteem it had before Trump is going to take a very long time, if it happens at all.  We proved that we're capable of supporting an obvious conman, a common fraud.  We let him lie, cheat, and steal for four years, and then 47% of us voted to re-elect him.

We seem almost as mentally unstable as he is himself.

May 01, 2021

Everyone is screaming to live a meaningful life and do something that matters. You look on all the bookshelves and at social media influencers, it's a common message to find your passion. It begs the question though, are those same people living the life they desire? I am sure many are living a life fulfilled but there are so many that aren't.

If that was the case, we would not be fighting against an identity crisis. The majority of the world would not be living in stress, anxiety and wake up every morning fighting to get out of society's ...

Mantis shrimp throw deadly punches just 9 days after birth

May 01, 2021

mantis shrimp

Baby animals are often adorable, but this belies the fact that many are born with some pretty intense survival skills. This is especially true for creatures that don't nurture their young since newborns have to fend for themselves as soon as they are brought into the world. A new study of the infamous mantis shrimp reveals that for many species, newborn mantis shrimp pack a serious punch within about a week of hatching, though their strength is nothing compared to that of their parents.

The research, which was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, looked at the ...

Here's the full list of 44 new original movies and shows hitting Netflix in May

May 01, 2021

Netflix May 2021 Releases List

Netflix announced its most recent earnings late last month and the company's share price plummeted. If you're wondering why, the answer is simple: Netflix's subscriber growth is really slowing down.

As recently as a year or two ago, people found it laughable that emerging streaming competition might actually put a dent in mighty Netflix's business. Fast-forward to 2021, however, and it looks as though the naysayers were wrong. New streaming services like HBO Max, Peacock, and more are unquestionably impacting Netflix's business, but there's also another troubling trend taking shape right now. Netflix's original movies and shows, which are ...

The results were few and far in between with my racial preference often being refined to only a select few results or disregarded altogether. Thankfully I had a midwife to lean on, but as an avid reader and researcher I longed for a book, for the book to have in my arsenal.
