The 2022 show Severance directed by Ben Stiller is finishing its second season. It is a mystery thriller with a very intriguing premise. The show revolves around this company that can sever workers' minds and memories can be separated between their work and home life. So when they are at work they do not remember anything about their life outside of the office and at home they have no clue what they do at work. The final episode released this friday and there are many hopes and questions attached to the final episode. But it is definitely going to leave the watchers with more questions than answers. Although the show is not officially renewed for a third season Ben Stiller reports that writers are already working on the script. If the season two finale is anything like season one’s, it will have watchers at the edge of their seats and leave them with more questions than answers. One of the reasons this show is such a success is because of the commentary on corporate culture. Although it has many other great aspects one of the most prominent aspects is its satirized corporate America. With over-dramatic, awkward work breaks and icebreakers it puts office life at the forefront. Then there is the obvious overreach of companies into employees affects their psyches. This is one of the most creative premises seen in recent television that does not shrink back from meaning. It creates complex characters and struggles that aren’t too far from reality. The show is similar to looking at a fun house mirror concerning the state of work life balance since the pandemic. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Podziel się swoimi przemyśleniami Napisz komentarz jako pierwszy.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Ode To Books Isabelle Kennedy Sep 21, 2024 A reflection on the impact of books. "Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are", Mason Cooley truly captured the magic behind books. Much like movies they can let us escape the day to day worries we all face and be taken to new and exciting worlds that immerse us completely. Somehow, no matter how fantastical the realm, it often makes more sense than the world around us. It lifts the weight of reality off our shoulders if even for just a moment. As a part of the community, the librarians, Ms. Gyorgy and Ms. Short hope to visit a local elementary school for some reading at some point in the year. Ms. Short also hopes that they can "have some representative volunteering at the Louisiana Book Festival in November." Along the lines of field trips for the year, the library and book club look forward to visiting the main library on Goodwood and"plan to go see the movie adaptation of the musical Wicked." These are some exciting plans for the Book Club and the library for the school year 2024-2025. If you want to read but don't know where to start, Ms. Short and Ms. Gyorgy can help you out. When asked what books every student should read, Ms. Short says, "A classic that I think everyone should read is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury...There are current movements to restrict access to books and this story does a great job of showing why this type of censorship is problematic...A newer book that I recommend is The Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley...This beautifully written book has something for everyone; mystery, murder, drama, hockey, romance, family issues…..It is being adapted for Netflix." Ms. Gyorgy recommends "Diary of Anne Frank, Wonder by RJ Palacio, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas to just name a few". She also recommends new readers to try the fantasy genre. Books can have such a large impact in our lives and it certainly did in Ms. Gyorgy and Ms. Short's. Ms. Gyorgy says, "Books opened my eyes beyond my own world! I still love to read books about people whose lives are totally different from mine. The diversity that has taken over YA books in the past 20 years is awesome!" Ms. Short adds, "There is a saying that books are mirrors that can reflect your own life back at you, windows that allow you to look into someone else's life, and sliding doors that allow you to be transported into another world. I don't want to imagine a life without books and the power of stories!" Literature impacts our culture and community in significant ways, "the biggest impact that books have on our society is the development of empathy, which leads to kindness and ultimately, to peace." says Ms. Short. Ms. Gyorgy expands, "Readers are curious people and curious people are smart people, always finding out about new things." "The themes found in literature have stood the test of time; unrequited love, jealousy, grief, fear, humor, etc. We are all connected by these emotions and they can be found in books that are centuries old and in modern-day writing," Ms. Gyorgy perfectly explains. They allow us to experience new feelings and bring a new understanding to our own realities. Books are a key part of culture and society, so please visit the library and find a book that speaks to you. It only takes one book to change the way you see the world. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION: The Oscars are Becoming a Big Fat Joke Ellis Turner Mar 7, 2025 Recently, it seems as though our favorite programs are leaning in the wrong direction. Recently, it seems as though our favorite programs are leaning in the wrong direction. Remember the Grammys? The Academy Awards were no different. The article I dove into pieced a very strong opinion against the Academy Awards. Jenna Jeff, author of ‘ The Oscars Are a Joke, and We Let It Happen’, had a lot to say about recent Oscar winners. In her opening, Jeff criticizes the film ‘Anora’. The movie won the award for “best picture” and “best actress”. Jeff claims that this film is the beginning of the end. The Oscars are searching for more controversy than art nowadays. The films that will continue to win will be provocative and uncomfortable, such as ‘Anora’. Hollywood, in attempts to be edgy, is losing its edge in this ironic and unfortunate twist. We should expect to see small, indie films winning Oscars rather than their experienced and well-thought-out counterparts, according to Jeff. While her opinion on the topic is very definitive, there are some points to consider. I do believe that the Academy Awards and other major programs are losing their credits in the arts world. Recently, these award programs have been a fight for controversy and popularity rather than storytelling and art. I mean, just look at the outrage the Grammys caused. Unfortunately, I do see a trend rising up. As a society, we are shifting away from quality and more towards unpredictability. I believe that we as a collective are searching for the next “this hasn’t been done before!” Change is a good thing and it’s inevitable but should we fix what isn’t broken? These recent films have been in a bid for causing the most discomfort to its viewers rather than anything else. I hope that this year's films will give us movie lovers quality and creativity, such as ‘Wicked’ (which only received two awards). I also hope that light hearted,sit down movies are given to us in the future. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Podziel się swoimi przemyśleniami Napisz komentarz jako pierwszy.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link US Justice Department To Seek Death Penalty for Mangione Claniya Olinde Apr 8, 2025 Last Tuesday, the Justice department announced it will seek the death penalty for accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione. Luigi Mangione is the man who has been identified as the alleged suspect in the killing of Brian Thompson, the CEO of the United Health Care. Last Tuesday, the Justice department announced it will seek the death penalty for accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione. He has pleaded not guilty to the state charges, he was charged in a criminal federal complaint but has not been indicted on those charges. Trump indicated he wants to see the Justice Department to pursue the death penalty for Mangione. I feel like the system is very biased when it comes to things like this. Yes, Mangione was wrong if he really did kill the CEO. I don’t think he deserves the death penalty, especially if he was proven innocent for the state charges. It seems that he has been fully proven as guilty for this crime. Meanwhile, its people like Patrick Crusius, who drove all the way to EL Paso and killed 23 hispanics/latinos. This was a hate crime, before killing those people he posted a racist things online. Patrick was able to get a plea deal, when he was proven guilty of killing those innocent people. Not saying murder is right, I feel like the Justice system should stop being unfair when it comes to situations like this. Crusis committed a hate crime, if anything he deserves a death penalty instead of a plea deal. This just shows how unfair the system is when it comes to certain racial status. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Podziel się swoimi przemyśleniami Napisz komentarz jako pierwszy.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Price Kamryn Bell Apr 7, 2025 Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch 2, releasing June 5, 2025. Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch 2, releasing June 5, 2025. It will cost $449.99, or $499.99 with “Mario Kart World.” Pre-orders start April 9. The console has a 7.9-inch screen with 1080p resolution and supports 4K when docked. It includes 256GB of storage and new magnetic Joy-Con controllers with bigger buttons. It also adds cool features like GameChat for voice/video chat and GameShare for local multiplayer with one game copy. The launch will include new games like “Mario Kart World,” “Metroid Prime 4,” and updated Zelda titles. GameCube games are coming too. The Switch 2 works with most old Switch games and will be shown off at events before launch. I think the new Switch costs too much. It breaks too easily and can’t hold many games. I have one and it is fun to play. I really like playing Mario Kart on it. But even then, it doesn’t have a lot of space for games. If you buy it for kids, it might not last long. The controllers come off and they break really fast. There are also too many little parts for kids to lose. The games are fun, but the system itself isn’t strong. I wouldn’t spend that much money on it. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Podziel się swoimi przemyśleniami Napisz komentarz jako pierwszy.
