Film Review; Fast X.
(Akiit.com) (***) “I don’t know what I just saw. But I liked it!” That’s what movie fans will say collectively when they stagger out of the theater after being assaulted with adrenalin-pumping action scenes for 2h 21m. It’s a formula that’s worked for 22 years, ever since The Fast and Furious premiered in 2001. Team up a crew of multicultural drivers and motorcyclists—aka street racers....

A Climate In Crisis.
(Akiit.com) “There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” – Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the city’s black neighborhoods bore the brunt of the storm. Twelve years later, the black districts of Houston were devastated... [Read more of this review]
Politics: One Stat Rarely Tells the Story.
(Akiit.com) Government debt as a share of the U.S. economy is falling. This must mean the Biden administration and Congress are practicing fiscal responsibility, right? No, it doesn’t. The main driver behind the reduction is inflation — inflation that politicians in Washington created with their irresponsible spending and refusal to engage in austerity after the COVID-19 crisis. Misleading... [Read more of this review]
Americans: Save the Planet, Invest in Fossil Fuels.
(Akiit.com) Earth Day is Saturday! Hooray? “Saving humanity from the climate crisis,” says EarthDay.org, requires us to “push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy.” Sounds logical. But my latest video explains why doing that is cruel to poor people. “Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator,” explains Alex Epstein,...

Why Do ‘GOP’ Lionize the Leaker?
(Akiit.com) What was once a party that proclaimed its pride in patriotism, military discipline and the defense of national security against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is becoming an engine of insurrection and subversion in the service of hostile foreign powers. In the reaction of leading figures on the Right to the arrest of a young airman for leaking vast stores of secret data, loyal Americans... [Read more of this review]
Republican Tim Scott and American Exceptionalism.
(Akiit.com) Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president. You may have noticed that Scott is Black. We may ask, in this woke age of ours, the extent to which this matters in his candidacy. I think it does matter, which requires some explanation given that I am adamantly opposed to identity politics in all its shapes... [Read more of this review]
How To Optimize Your Sales Funnel Conversion Rates?
(Akiit.com) Salespeople need to remember that building a business relationship requires creating a connection with the other person. Real conversations are never self-centered to start with. They can be turned around to something that concerns you, but not straight away unless one wants to cross the borderline of impoliteness. Just as in real life, when you bump into someone on the street, it’s... [Read more of this review]

Americans: Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy.
(Akiit.com) Every schoolkid knows — or used to know — that the United States has three branches of government. At least that’s what the textbooks say. But really, we have four branches of government. That’s because Congress — the legislative branch — has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to the unconstitutional fourth branch of the U.S. government: independent...

Who’s in charge of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas?
(Akiit.com) Clarence Thomas is an unconquered American. He refused to let the segregation and poverty into which he was born define his life. He wouldn’t let racists impose limits on him. He also wouldn’t let leftists claim ownership of his mind or allegiance simply because they opposed segregation. They were enemies of freedom, too, only from another direction. Liberals have never forgiven... [Read more of this review]

“Tennessee Three” Fiasco Highlights The Inextricable Link Between Racism And Gun Violence.
(Akiit.com) “We won’t be bent, we won’t be bowed, and we won’t be ordered to ignore the hearts and minds of the people who elected us, demanding commonsense gun safety in a state that has nearly none. The GOP of the Tennessee House of Representatives attempted to obstruct me and my colleagues from these goals and to shred our democracy. Instead, Republicans have only fanned the flames of...

FDA’s Recent Cosmetics Reform Could Still Allow Carcinogens in Hair Relaxers on Shelves.
(Akiit.com) In December 2022, the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) was adopted as part of a larger congressional spending package, significantly bolstering the FDA’s leverage in the beauty industry. Notably, this is the first major overhaul of cosmetics regulations since the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act of 1938 and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act of 1966. While MoCRA is...

Film Review: Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.
(Akiit.com) (**) The thrill is gone. The Marvel Universe shoots a blank. A tiny one. Arguably, the itty-bitty Ant-Man and The Wasp aren’t the most impressive superheroes. So, any new adventure for the self-promoting, mildly amusing Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), aka Ant-Man, and his sidekick/lover Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), aka The Wasp, has got to be a blast. Otherwise, both will continue to be... [Read more of this review]
Movie Review: Knock at the Cabin.
(Akiit.com) (**) Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For some reason veteran director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense) has decided to put a lot of bad juju vibes out into the world. If you’re curious, read on. It’s an unusual premise, but so what. Four strangers (Dave Bautista, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abby Quinn, Rupert Grint) think really bad things will happen. They feel they’ve...
