70 Years of Deviltry: A Look at Looney Tunes' Tasmanian Devil
As we all know, Looney Tunes has given us so many wild, wacky, and crazy characters in the last 90+ years; some have been highly acclaimed, while others weren't featured much, but were basically cult hits. A character that definitely belongs in the "cult hit" category is the Tasmanian Devil (or "Taz" for short). Taz is definitely quite a popular character in the Looney Tunes group, and this is despite the fact that he was only featured in five shorts during the classic era at Warner Bros. Cartoons.

The Fall Guy
Swimming costumes, spicy margaritas, and bad decisions. If you know me, you know I don't like romcoms. I'm not a very big fan of romance at all, really. I'm not a fan of Ryan Gosling, either. (Or at least, I wasn't... that has now changed.) No offence to the guy, I'm sure he's smashing. I just thought (probably unfairly, to be honest) "he's that guy who does romcoms". (He stole the show in Barbie, though.)

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance. Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas. Your heartstrings will be pulled by the series' poignant depiction of love. The series is unique because of its sharp lines, which strike a deep chord with us. Amazon Prime’s most recent release Maxton Hall embodies the romantic dramatism of the pro-capitalist enemies of lovers James and Ruby, giving us a breathtaking onscreen presence yet the predictability of the plot and the fine crevices of incompleteness in the evolution of the subplots hampers it from being a massive feature of swoonworhty foes to romantic partners. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the series

Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the plot.

Innovative Approaches: Applying Ancient Indian Wisdom to Contemporary Management
Ethos is derived from the Greek language originally meaning “accustomed place” or a character that one shows while in the face of challenges. Ethos can be described as the characters, disposition, and values of a particular individual or community that drive their actions and fuel them to make the right decisions at the right time. Ethos is not peculiar to a particular style of dressing or following a religion. It is deeply rooted in a person’s psyche that empowers and motivates him to build the foundations of what he stands by in his existence. The collective spirit of a community that builds unity in them and roots into their consciousness as a guiding force is the literal meaning of the term ethos.

I Just Saw a Man Shoot Uncle Dave! Ain't No Place Safe Anymore
What kind of a sick bastard would shoot a man at a theme park? Now, I could understand if it was over ticket prices but trying to take somebody out just to cover up another crime is the most cowardly act I've ever seen.
