Zac Efron does justice to the sadistic monster that was Ted Bundy

-

In the span of four months, Netflix has released back to back features based upon the life of one of America’s most prolific serial killers: Ted Bundy. This focus has unsurprisingly caused some ‘good Samaritans’ to believe that someone in charge at Netflix also happens to be a secret Ted Bundy groupie. 

The 110-minute long feature titled Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is a very accurate title for Bundy’s bio, if you ask me. The movie is based upon the memoirs of Bundy’s former girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer (played by Lily Collins), and as the story is told from her perspective, it is more about how Bundy got away with so much for so long rather than the typical formula of simply selling the sheer brutality of his crimes.

Last Wednesday; Mankind achieved the unthinkable when astronomers captured the 1st ever image of a black hole thru the "Event Horizon Telescope" or EHT for short. The EHT is a network of telescopes that are scattered through out earth, from the US to Spain to Chile to Antarctica etc. All of these telescopes captured image data that was later assembled together as a giant jigsaw puzzle by a sophisticated computer algorithm. This was such a milestone that the world of science is still buzzing with excitement and paying homage to human ingenuity and Einstein in particular, who rightfully predicated the existence of black holes so many years ago. But something was missing from all of it, nobody was praising, initially, the person that made it all possible...Three years ago; Katie Bouman, then a grade student in computer science and artificial intelligence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led the creation of a computer algorithm that went thru millions...

No, Bangladesh is not a Democracy!

Few days ago a video, from World Economic Forum, was doing rounds on the social media where it showed the economic progress of Bangladesh and the factors behind it. Amongst those who share this video Khawaja Asif, of PMLN also share it with these lines, https://twitter.com/KhawajaMAsif/status/1184946411500113920 What a profound statement, no? Well it would’ve been if it wasn’t for the invention of the internet and the ability to "factcheck" any kind of information, online, but more on that a little later on. Upon seeing Khawaja sb’s tweet his colleague Ahsan Iqbal sprung into action and wrote a very heartfelt answer of his own https://twitter.com/betterpakistan/status/1185046628408942592 I was about to shed a tear on this very well written tweet until I remembered that the video in question has a list of all the major factors behind Bangladesh’s economic growth and interestingly democracy is not one of them, clearly WEC (World Economic Forum) knows somet...

Welcome to your Brain

-
“I think, therefore I am.” Congratulations; You are a human being! A social primate; born with the ability to develop speech, walk on two feet and the largest brain (brain to body ratio) in all of the primate species. Although having a big brain and intelligence are 2 totally different things but I am sure you already know that...just look around! Your brain’s fused with a “cerebral cortex” that is loaded with 16 billion neurons, greater than any other species on earth! And since you are not jumping up & down, singing hallelujah, let me explain what that means; Think of neurons as a “cellular” app, used by the brain to send and receive messages to or from your body. Over all your brain has 86 billion neurons which are rapidly passing information; ranging from your muscle movements to what you see, smell or taste, etc. Now: if neurons are a messaging service the cerebral cortex is a very sophisticated smartphone that controls most of your existence. It is home...
