It was a scary Saturday to say the least. But let’s not start there. While it may be a simple story, as is typical with life’s inherent teachings, the point is so much bigger… that is, if we’re willing to pause, reflect and actually see it. We

Wow… that was hard. My team lost in the weekend Madness. My team was supposed to do great. They didn’t play that way. I know it’s just a game. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. But sometimes it feels like way more than just a game. Not every

As persons in search of credible news, that means we maximize the credible and minimize the bias. AllSides, one of the Intramuralist’s fave sources (that is, when in search of the objective and thus accurate perspective), has a tool recently realized. It’s entitled the “Misinformation Watch.” Allow us
