Kennedy Jr. has raised questions about the legalization of many alternative remedies scarcely being tested by researchers. “Having a healthy skeptic is totally fine,” said Ramachandran, “but that skepticism needs to come with at least some humility.” Kennedy has also attacked selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, like Prozac, Zoloft,Viibryd and Lexapro or ADHD …

'You Can't Just Buy The Premier League': Shaun-Wright Phillips Expounds on Manchester City's Continued Success

News 18

Success is synonymous with Manchester City. United’s shambolic demise and failed attempts to regain lost glory over the past decade, occurring in tandem with City’s meteoric rise to the top, only saw a mindless and clueless board oversee the hiring and firing of countless managers, within just the period of Guardiola’s tenure in City so far, with little to no …

Why This Word Used To Describe Systemic Racism Is So Damn Triggering

Huff Post

A recent study from Pew Research Center, which found that “most Black Americans believe U.S. institutions were designed to hold Black people back,” has gotten some backlash this past week.

Daily Mail

He was a pariah for Labour during the Corbyn years but now Sir Tony Blair is back in action – with his party smugly assuming it’s on the cusp of regaining power. Sir Tony echoed his sentiment, to some extent, by saying that Scotland is ‘still part of the UK, which was part of the design – so devolution has …

Review: There’s no curiosity about Amy Winehouse at all in the reductive, shallow portrait ‘Back to Black’

LA Times

It would be a challenging undertaking for any filmmaker or actor to represent in biopic form the outsize talent, unique style and utterly devastating downfall of soul singer Amy Winehouse. Hers is such a tragic story that Asif Kapadia limited his Oscar-winning 2015 documentary “Amy” to audio recordings set to archival footage to examine Winehouse’s life, never showing the faces …

Poor Things review: An absolute masterpiece

Live Mint

God is a monster. This is but one way in which Poor Things—the Oscar-winning film by Yorgos Lanthimos, streaming now on Disney+ Hotstar—understands Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. The idea of men taking advantage of a woman who literally has the brain of a child is rightfully sickening, but Lanthimos shows us Poor Things through the eye of Bella, and the …
