Whether it's the Siri-like companion in Spike Jonze's "Her," a beautiful A.I. in Alex Garland's "Ex Machina" or the ability to instantly rewind and project memories in the "Black Mirror" episode of TV's "The Entire History of You," on nearly every screen there seems to be someone's vision of the not-so-distant future — and usually a warning about how the purportedly convenient technologies are damaging our realities. The latest entry is the bold indie "Creative Control" (out Friday in limited release and expanding on March 18)... Читать дальше...

I've lost track of the number of times that I've been challenged for sharing breastfeeding pictures online, or the number of occasions that I've read about moms who have been shamed for feeding their children at their breast.

It's 2016 and stories of moms being shamed for breastfeeding hit headlines regularly -- it appears that our children's nutrition is newsworthy... albeit not in the healthy and informative way we may wish for.

A while ago, I started the #ISupportBreastfeeding... Читать дальше...

An investigation has been instituted into the quality of water in Rustenburg following complaints from residents, Magalies Water said.

'I hear you left a blind drunk guy in a bar' were some words said to me a couple of days ago by a good friend. Funny story right? Hilarious right? No, far from it, this was actually a comment that serves to reinforce discrimination against disability that is still encountered daily.

I must point out at this stage that I have no disability, and am aware that my voice is not necessarily the voice that should be heard on this matter, but I can't help it, I am outraged.

Let me explain the situation my friend was referring to. Читать дальше...

Reserving a hotel in Rome without paying a fortune isn’t easy. A sprawling and rather chaotic city, it doesn’t benefit from the best subway system in the world, so finding a good location close to a stop can complicate things. As if that weren’t enough, the city is perpetually overrun by tourists, so there’s a huge risk that dawdling for even just an hour while deciding whether to confirm or not means— whoops!—someone else has snatched up the room you wanted.

Oil industry warns the move ‘puts the shale revolution at risk’

Around ten years ago, I stood on the sidewalk and watched then senator of New York, Hillary Clinton march down Fifth Avenue in the midst of the Gay Pride Parade. What I focused on at the time was that she was the only person in the parade wearing high heels. The lesbians certainly weren't wearing heels. Even the drag queens that year had started wearing sneakers with their dresses. What I remember now, of course, is that Hillary was there -- before marriage equality, before LGBT rights were known as human rights. Читать дальше...

'What the hell have they done?' is the question a lot of people are asking

St. Patrick's Day is a big deal in America. Just consider the famousSt. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City, the dyeing of the Chicago River, and the multitude of other parades and festivals all over the country. We wear green. We eat corned beef and cabbage. And we take advantage of drink specials at our local Irish pubs.

Americans, whether or not we are Irish or Catholic, love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. But many people know very little about this great saint whose feast day we celebrate with almost carnivalesque fervor. Читать дальше...

Do you feel uncomfortable with the state of today's electoral debate? Well, so does Grandma, but she does more. She gets to the bottom of what's happening. She confronts our mindless nostalgia for a "great" past that never existed. She shows us how our feelings of powerlessness are making us want to bully somebody, and she helps us see ourselves as the spectators in the Coliseum watching the Gladiators fight it out while ignoring reality as Rome burns. She gets to the core of our own consciousness... Читать дальше...

There is an unbelievable hatred of us,” Trump told Cooper.
