The Hidden Ramifications of the #metoo Movement and the “Funnel of Male Response”
Yesterday, Rob Porter, a top White House aid, resigned from his position due to allegations that he abused his former wives.

“The First One Is Free” and “Foot in the Door” as gimmicks don’t work with television shows
A new trend has started with networks and their television shows.

Why the BBC is so much of a better news source than CNN
Why the BBC is so much of a better news source than CNN The recent Charlottesville riot (get together/protest) is a really good example of why the BBC is so much more superior to crappy CNN.

The Fear of Pissing Off Your Audience While Trying to Get One in the First Place
One of the problems of being political or taking a political stance is that chances are pretty good that you’re going to end up pissing off someone when you didn’t intend to do just that. As a writer, my goal is always to entertain as many people as possible, so whenever I deal with political issues, I get scared that … Read More
ASMR: One of the strangest phenomenons to hit Youtube
So, a couple of months ago, I was having trouble falling asleep at night, so after a bunch of frustrated attempts to sleep, I did what any 21st century geek would do: I turned on my computer and Googled something that had to do with sleep.
