The Problem With Defining Comic Book Characters As Crazy

Mental illness is always a difficult subject to discuss. Taking an inelegant approach to a very real concern is a common problem in genre fiction, but some issues are more commonly misused than others. Superhero movies rarely understand most of the big topics one might hear debated on the news, but their approach to mental health is almost deliberately ill-intentioned.

The Promising Barcelona Prospect Munir El Haddadi Linked With Arsenal And Chelsea

For the second summer in succession, one of Barcelona’s most promising young talents is being linked with a move away from the club.

Many football fans may not be too familiar with the player known simply as Munir; after all, he only made his debut for the Blaugrana B team in March 2014 and has only made ten senior league appearances since then....

The Ps Plus Free Games For April 2022 Are In A Sticky Situation

Overall, it seems PS Plus subscribers are not happy with this month’s selection, and 2022 itself has been an odd year for the service so far. January and March’s games were warmly welcomed, but February and April’s have been criticized pretty heavily. No one can really guess what the games will be month after month, but perhaps more so than in February, the PS Plus free games of April 2022 seem to be caught in a sticky situation....

The high watermark of the subtlety camp is almost always psychological horror. RELATED: The Suburban Gothic Horror Subgenre, Explained Psychological horror relies on the internal mental state of its characters to convey terror to the audience....

The Purpose Of Pupils In Our Eyes

Why We Have Pupils The pupil controls how much light is let into the eye. It is very similar to a camera aperture which allows more light in for more exposure. At night, our pupils dilate to allow more light in to maximize our vision. In the bright sunlight, our pupil shrinks to a very small diameter to allow us to function normally. Otherwise, we would be very light sensitive, and this could effect photoreceptors in our retina....

The Mullahs Vs. Modernization

Poised uneasily between the lure of modernization and the forces of tradition, Iran is its own worst enemy when it comes to making peace with the West. Iranian officials busily court Western investment, offering inducements such as free-trade zones to make it easier for foreign businessmen to visit. Then a prosecutor who presides over secret Islamic courts announces that a German businessman from a machine-tool company will be hanged as a spy....

And Tina spent the early weeks of her pregnancy in Iraq following the ISIS invasion, at one point holding in her arms a grieving woman who had had her child ripped from her hands and taken away by violent extremists....

The New Shape Of Patriotism

Patriotism. Even now the word has a musty quality, like an old war-bonds poster. We spent so many years thinking of “patriots” as New England football players that the concept almost turned to kitsch. American celebrities are so out of shape, patriotically speaking, that many didn’t seem to know the words to “America the Beautiful” during their “Tribute to Heroes” telethon last week. The bigger questions slide by: What does patriotism mean now?...

The Next Food Crisis

Let’s concede that some grocery prices will temporarily move higher and that, going into a new century, we face serious problems feeding a growing world population. But the farm economy has powerful mechanisms of self-correction and expansion. Markets work, if left tolerably free. Farmers strive to raise output and cut costs. The result is that prices gradually drop and that people eat better or spend less on what they eat....
