The Washington Post put up this article a few hours after the recording was posted: Trump pressures Georgia's Raffensperger to overturn his defeat in extraordinary call - The Washington Post. The full headline is the following: "‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’: In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor". Trump says this ~2/3 into the hour-long recording. Is this really the best quote, and is that really what Trump was doing?
Hugo – Movie Review
Simply put, Martin Scorsese couldn’t have directed Hugo any better. Judging by the marketing material alone, I didn’t think that this movie would be very good. But after just watching the opening sequence, I was intrigued to see what the writer had in store for me.
Quick Thought – Speed Limits
Is the United States' concept of a speed limit a good way to enforce safe driving?
Wait Until Dark – Movie Review
According to IMDb, Wait Until Dark is a “thriller”, although perhaps a more accurate description would be “mystery”, despite the fact that we the viewers already know who did what. The director, Terence Young, manages to tell the story in a suspenseful way, even though the audience already knows what the three criminals are doing. And that’s not even including the ending.

Geography and World War III
Almost immediately after the end of World War II, the Cold War began. From 1947 to 1991, fear of a nuclear war held the world in a tight grip, keeping the United States and the Soviet Union in a tense tango. So far, this is the closest World War III has ever come, but the supposed end of the Cold War doesn't mean the crisis has been averted.
The YouTube Adpocalypse
On March 17, 2017, Google U.K. made a post on their blog stating that Google would take measures to "prohibit ads from appearing on pages or videos with hate speech, gory or offensive content". This was in response to more than 250 major companies pulling their advertisements from Google. While Google's plan sounds good in theory, it is disastrous in practice.
Common Sense, Not Common Core
Back in 2010, the Common Core State Standards Initiative published the final version of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a new and standardized approach at teaching math and English. Before the standards, some argued that education varied widely from state to state, which caused a slew of problems. The CCSS was created with the aim of making education in all states equivalent, but its success, if there is any, is limited.
Future of Windows 10 Mobile
Back in 2016, Microsoft released Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8. This new version of Windows brought many changes, and while analyzing every change is well beyond the scope of this post, many of these changes have greatly affected what many consider to be one of Microsoft's greatest failures.
Mediums and their Content
As explained in Bias of Medium, how a medium works has a direct impact on what kind of content is made for it. Each medium has different content, but one medium is distinctly different from the others. This is because of the way we are extending our logic to other mediums, and it is a fallacy that can be solved easily.
