Troy_N_Stuff:  Elon Musk's Tesla Gigafactory - Climate Change Denial Thank you for writing this, I found it very informative and uplifting. I've always been a fan of Elon Musk, and I'm sure his work regarding climate change is an inspiration to us all. You should write a follow up post on SpaceX and its vision for a better future! A Blog or Something Idk:  Lit Clothing and Mixed Reactions ft. Nike I with the argument of this post because that's where all the evidence points. Nike choosing to enlist Kaepernick for their ad campaign was a great business move; particularly because the controversy generated a heightened awareness to their campaign and because those who agree with Kaepernick's stance would support Nike and buy their products. I'd like to add that the burning of their products by those to took the opposite stance actually does them less harm than good - because as they say, any press is good press.

Sacrificing Social Media

Considering how prominent the motif of sacrifice has been throughout the Bible, it is interesting that it is not really a part of how we worship today. In our last publication we asked why this is, and our readers seemed to reach the conclusion that it is simply not relevant anymore. Some of our readers could not decide what and how to sacrifice, others said they never felt the call to sacrifice anything, others too found the idea quite archaic.

We figured that the stories of sacrifice might be religious and allegorical truths instead of literal ones, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Needless to say, this is a concept that clearly needs explanation; so we did some digging,...

Knock The Vote: A New Wave

The Knock the Vote campaign by the media company Acronym was quite interesting to me. Though they did not have much material in their campaign it was certainly made up for in quality and creativity. The ad used reverse psychology and invoked strong feelings in its target audience with sensitive insults directed towards their generation. These undoubtedly had a strong impact on those who saw the ad.  The message of the ad got me thinking -- do older generations actually vote more than younger ones? After some research, I found out that this was, in fact, true, and that elderly citizens vote on average in far higher numbers than young citizens.  This is mostly because seniors have more free time and more government benefits to protect. I learned that this age discrepancy between voters can be detrimental to the political state of a nation, as politicians will always play to the whims of older voters instead of younger ones because they know that they must secure their votes.
