Richard Jewell

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 3/17/2020 4:39 PM EDT
There is a problem in this country when someone is even vaguely accused of a crime. Law enforcement and the media seem to convict the suspected perpetrator, sometimes with little to no real evidence. The media also add fuel to the fire in the court of public opinion and so often people believe what they say without question. If yo... Read More

DuPont, a multi-billion-dollar company, has been creating products to make our lives better for decades…or so we had been led to believe.

Frozen II

(Eric English) 2/24/2020 3:52 PM EDT
Cultural phenomenons are rare. Disney, while certainly no stranger to creating them, found something special in 2013's ‘Frozen'. Even if you've never seen the film (do you people actually exist?), It's likely you've been treated to an impromptu rendition of its Oscar-winning song "Let It Go" by an enthusiastic young "Elsa"...
