Reason First: How Romanticism Wins Against Every School of Art
The chasm remaining from the demise ten years ago of David Foster Wallace still stuns members of the literati. His words marked a shift in the tone, atmosphere, and tenor of the current state of the written word. A decade ago on this date, Wallace ended his own life by hanging. All of the idealism, thought, and childlike wonder got swallowed up by Death. But his legacy remains. Because of the fact that he left a tome of over one thousand words, Infinite Jest (1996), replete with footnotes and musings on the Postmodernist school all while writing in the school that he critiqued. One of the targets of Wallace’s pen was irony. Deep in the psyche of the current figures within the culture, the ironical is a key component of the modern author.

'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' Review
So Netflix has been coming out with an array of romantic comedies lately. And they have just been getting better than the one before. First, The Kissing Booth, then Set It Up, and lastly To All the Boys I've Loved Before. There has probably been more, but these are the important ones, ha.

After a full eight hours at the office, all I want to do is come home, watch TV with my boyfriend, and cuddle my dog.

How Fast Is The Flash and What Are the Consequences?
When it comes to super speed, most people would think of the one and only Flash. You can’t blame him, there doesn’t seem to be a limit to his speed whether it is Berry Allen or Wally West under the mask. But Having super speed isn’t as great as you probably think it is. I am fully aware that the speedsters in the comics have the speed force to help not break physics, but I would like to really show you how badly these speedsters destroy and just obliterate the laws of physics.
