Minecraft is the best-selling game in the world. The game teaches players, primarily children, to mine and build whole worlds out of raw materials. Naturally, the raw materials must be secured under duress. A game needs tension, and Minecraft has it. What it does not have is a means to teach players that raw materials […]

The truly odd thing about ageism is how every single living creature on this planet is aging. We’re all aging right now, as we do each and every moment of our lives. Ultimately, this means our bias against aging people is discrimination against the self, and that ageism is a brutal form of self-hatred. As […]

Banana Boat protects you from the sun’s harmful rays. Now, the skincare brand is extending its reach into wildlife preservation.

As a former English major, professional writer, and fan of books, I was happy to read in The New York Times that “small booksellers not only survived the pandemic, but many are thriving.” More than 300 new independent bookstores have sprouted across the United States in the past couple of years. Given how bookstore sales […]

Buying a new vehicle is a big financial decision. People shopping for cars weigh the monthly outlay expected of them, the insurance costs, gas and maintenance costs, and how much the dealer is going to make on the purchase. There’s also the emotional buyer and the emotive purchase. People sometimes “fall in love” with a […]

Americans pour mountains of salt onto their food. We also reflexively say, “No, thank you,” to Monosodium Glutamate, which could lower one’s salt intake. We’ve been saying no to MSG for decades, but why? According to one of MSG’s leading manufacturers—Ajinomoto—MSG’s bad reputation is both undeserved and rooted in racism. In the 1960s, a wave […]

S L A V E R Y. The very word sends chills. Along with genocide, slavery is one of two original sins and a bloody stain on the history of the United States. There are “hear no evil” people who do not want to hear about it, and people who can’t see how it matters […]

Despite appearances to the contrary, American gun makers and sellers are not untouchable, unreachable, or above and beyond the law. Typically, when legislators fail to act to protect people, the makers of dangerous products and perpetrators of dangerous industry practices are held in check by the threat of civil litigation. But this principle does not apply […]

Since 1963, nearly 193,000 children and teens have been killed with guns on American soil—more than four times the number of U.S. soldiers killed in action in the Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq wars combined, according to Children’s Defense Fund.

Bastrop is also directly downriver from Tesla’s new world headquarters and car-making factory. When Elon Musk moved from California to Texas, his Boring Company quickly set […]

In what sounds like news from 1822, not 2022, Tennessee lawmakers will vote today to remove any age barriers for marriage. Twenty-four Tennessee Republicans are sponsoring House Bill 233. Current Tennessee law states you can get married as young as 17 if you have parental consent. In the absence of federal law setting a minimum […]

From a political point of view, Florida and Texas appear to be in a race to the bottom. The governors and state legislatures in both of these densely populated sunbelt states are working overtime to forward a reality that spookily mirrors the dystopian states that some of our best writers have depicted. The politicians are […]

The American flag has been through several iterations from the 18th century on. It will be altered again one day, possibly with the addition of two stars for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. What no one saw coming was the removal of 29 stars from the flag by the Human Rights Campaign—the nation’s […]

It’s been six years since the Truth & Reconciliation Commission in Canada issued call-to-action #19 which called upon the federal government to address inequities in health outcomes, including access to basic health needs like clean water. Since then the federal government has done… f*ck all. Almost 70 Indigenous communities in Canada still have to boil […]

Elected officials in Texas today are reckless, careless, anti-freedom offenders. They’re also largely unchecked by the opposition party. Thankfully, corporations are able to use their power and money to provide a counterbalance of sorts. For instance, starting this week people with no training whatsoever can stroll around the Lone Star State armed, loaded, and ready […]
