The Walking Dead started as a niche zombie series in the early 2010s, but it built up steam and transformed into a runaway hit just a few seasons after its inception.

It revolutionized long-form storytelling and created a rabid fandom that allowed it to run for over a decade and spawn many spinoffs. Undead monsters aren’t the only thing that made The Walking Dead such a fascinating and addictive watch, though. The depth of the characters and the survivalist strategies of…
US President Donald Trump said on Monday (May 26) he is considering taking US$3 billion of previously awarded grant money for scientific and engineering research away from Harvard University and giving it to trade schools. His comments on his social media platform Truth Social come less than a week after his administration sought to block the Ivy League school from enrolling foreign students as part of Trump’s extraordinary effort to seize some government control of US academia. Trump, a Republican, has frozen some US$3 billion in federal grants to Harvard in recent weeks, complaining that it has hired Democrats, “Radical Left idiots…

In 2025, sticking with Windows 7 isn’t just quirky or nostalgic, folks, it’s downright reckless. Look, Microsoft officially pulled the plug on Windows 7 security updates back in January 2020. That’s like an eternity in the computing world. Since then, the operating system has been vulnerable to known exploits with no patches in sight. Running it today is like leaving your front door wide open for criminals with…

The economy of rewiring first occurred to me when a physician friend shared that he went off weight loss drugs for two reasons.He said, “I took them for 5 months and lost 31 pounds, but I felt lousy on them and at $1200 a month, I couldn’t afford them.”Rewiring is gaining more recognition because no drug can accomplish what a focused, intensive use of EBT can. Just start using the Cycle Tool (the central rewiring technique) and complain about what you are doing that you want to stop doing.You can direct your own brain changes.By focusing your attention on what…
