The Public Doesn’t Need to Know

For decades now the mainstream media has hidden behind the bullshit phrase “the public has a right to know.” It has always been bullshit because “right to know” does not equal “need to know.” I mean I listen to a lot of NPR and I’ve heard their news and shows…

Review – The Man Who Knew Infinity

★★★★☆ The Man Who Knew Infinity is most definitely not a 6-pack and pizza movie. It’s a movie for when you want to be immersed in deep thought. When a movie is about a math prodigy that never went to school, it is always going to seem like a film…
