The Way Of Fox News
The Way of fox news spreading lies Another jaw-dropping article by Barry Sookman, on page 16 (of 15) on the Canada Summit last weekend. It is full of such lies that one almost feels like a convict listening to a police radio, surrounded by his fellow "convicts" hanging on every word.

The Way Of Google Translate
The Way Of Google Translate, shows you where the characters and words in a foreign language you’re trying to understand are using technology Google has developed to translate words on the fly in real time. It can also bring up all the transliterations available in a given language at the moment you’re typing. At a glance, you can see the English translations and, when you see a word you don’t recognize, you can choose from the app’s alphabetized list of transliterated characters.

The Way Of Target
The Way Of Target stores is probably a foretaste of what may be in store for Aldi's fellow German discount grocer Lidl, which is currently building stores in the US. Lidl's discount prices helped it deliver surprisingly strong growth in the UK in its first full year of trading and in the US it is seen as a threat to Aldi.

The Way Of YouTube
The Way Of YouTube "I have found that people generally are too trusting, and that can have a bad impact on your market." One of the clearest examples I can remember of this was when a political satire show posted a video about the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie. I had the opportunity to view the video that was a few minutes long, and in it you could see a man sitting at his computer, who was likely the producer. He was talking directly to a camera and was advocating for Governor Christie. While he didn't push his political views in the video, it was the producer that was responsible for the message of the video.

Our Obsession with Westeros (and Royalty in General) Is Unhealthy
I am a huge fantasy fan. I have watched all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back with accompanying meals (yes, even elevensies). I am religiously gobbling up fantasy content such as the Rings of Power, Sandman, and, yes, even the new Game of Thrones spinoff, The House of The Dragon (see my take on the latter here).

In 2021, a group of archaeologists made an exciting discovery while excavating the site of the Jamestown settlement in Virginia: the remains of several ancient dogs. These bones, which were found in a trash pit at the site, are shedding new light on the history of dogs in the New World and the role they played in the lives of the early colonists.

Avatar: The Way Of Water--A Swing And A Miss. Top Story - December 2022.
There are a lot of reasons you might be tempted to not see this movie. You may have already heard some of the loathsome things James Cameron said about the Lakota. You may have heard it's just another chapter in the Avatar franchise's "white savior" narrative. You may have heard that a white man is exploiting the stereotypes of Indigenous peoples, hired an almost all white cast, and only white people are going to profit from it.

The Velvet Underground Movie Review -Choose Your Own Adventure For Nostalgists-
The Velvet Underground Movie Review: A Choose Your Own Adventure For The Nostalgists There’s a classic Velvets album that is near and dear to many rockers and musical music aficionados. It’s easy to see why, as their music is a collection of dreams and artistic sounds that hit the zeitgeist in 1969. They sang of love and alienation with such beauty and conviction. They were a band for change.
