Twenty-two movies, 11 years. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a wild experiment in cinema storytelling. I doubt anyone really expected it to work as well as it did and to culminate in such a massive movie. But it did. “Endgame” may not, objectively, be the best movie. But, subjectively, Read more…
The generally accepted theory about the universe is that it is expanding. Everything expanded out from a central singularity in the “Big Bang” and formed galaxies, stars, etc. Since then, space itself has been expanding.

Have you ever been reading a book or watching a show and when you near the end, like just getting into the climax or two episodes from the end of the season, and suddenly you don’t want to keep going? Because you know, the ending won’t be as good as Read more…
What’s the most important part of a democracy? Hopefully, that’s an easy answer, the ability for everyone to vote. Over the history of the United States, we’ve slowly been working to ensure the “everyone” part of that statement holds true. It’s been a pretty slow process and not without its Read more…
