Today is a day that people who are connoisseurs of a certain kind of bean can get in on. It is National Coffee Day! Now, I know, every day is a celebration of coffee, right? Well, maybe not to the members of the faith that I was raised in, but I can drink the beverage guilt-free now! So how did you celebrate the day?

NFL and Patriotism Myths and Rumors Debunked
As posted not long ago, an immense pet peeve of mine is when people spread rumors on the internet. Once they begin to go around, they spread like wildfire, and many begin to use it as cold, hard fact. The #TakeaKnee and #IStand debacle is tearing a deeper hole in our country, and the rumors being spread do not help. I've even been guilty of not researching something I posted on … [Read more...] about NFL and Patriotism Myths and Rumors Debunked
ABC’s “The Good Doctor” Starts Out With Not so Good Reviews
TechnoMark thought this would be a good show for me to write about since I'm knowledgeable about Autism, and I like hospital dramas like Grey's Anatomy. Having only seen the pilot episode, I can't say if I like the show or not. It received a lukewarm reception from many reviewers such as this one from The Vulture and Rotten Tomatoes has the show at only 31 percent, although … [Read more...] about ABC’s “The Good Doctor” Starts Out With Not so Good Reviews

He isn't playing for a team this year, but his example continues. Friday night, Donald Trump caused a stir when he said that the NFL owners should fire any "son of a bitch" who took a knee of protest during the traditional … [Read more...] about #TakeAKnee and #IStand: What is Patriotism?

A school in Alabama in the Lee County district received a complaint from a parent through the organization "Freedom From Religion" about a public prayer that was led by a student over the PA system before a football game.

Will the Church Fill the Government Role of Healthcare?
Many have already heard of the Cassidy-Graham legislation that the GOP is trying to get passed through quickly to try to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. They are trying to sneak it through before the end of the month so that they can repeal it with a simple majority- which is 51 votes. This will kick 30 million people off the healthcare that they desperately need. It's been … [Read more...] about Will the Church Fill the Government Role of Healthcare?
The Pokemon Go Autumn Equinox Celebration!
I'm sure that I can't be the only one that feels like they are the only one who still plays Pokemon GO.

Now, over one year later, there is an Autumn Equinox celebration with bonuses for users. It will start on September 22 at 1 PM ET or 4 PM ET, and according … [Read more...] about The Pokemon Go Autumn Equinox Celebration!
I want to see Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs Right Now! Darn you, actual release date!
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of Wes Anderson, but I love the pastel look of his latest works such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom. Then there is his animated masterpiece of Fantastic Mr. Fox, which I feel is so under-appreciated. If you haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox, it has an all-star cast and a unique style of animation which features a lot … [Read more...] about I want to see Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs Right Now!

Our Review of the eGeeTouch TSA Smart Travel Lock
We really live in an age where everything just has to be "smart". I honestly believe that there will come a time when if an object can't connect to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth or NFC, it will be classified as "useless". It seems pretty obvious that the padlock will become smart, and we already reviewed the Master Lock last year. For those of you who want to have … [Read more...] about Our Review of the eGeeTouch TSA Smart Travel Lock

The Good Place Season 2 Release Date, and Why Does It Have One?
It is difficult to be a new fall TV show on the networks, as your lifespan is not going to be long, statistically speaking. Television has changed a lot in the past decade, and how we view it online has affected how shows are marketed and distributed. Most shows rely on being a hit from the get-go, such as last season's incredibly popular This is Us.
