How Weird Can We Get?

HOW WEIRD CAN WE GET? If one were to subscribe to the DC Comics Streaming Service, one of the original series one could see is one called Doom Patrol. It is a superhero show, but it is also a very weird show. Let's start with the premise. The main characters are a man's brain in a robot body, a scarred and bandaged man with an alien spirit living in him, a woman who turns into goo when she feels negative emotions, and a girl with 64 split personalities, each with their own powers. The main villain is a fourth-wall-breaking jokester who controls plot and narration. These are just the characters. In the show itself, things get weirder.

Transmedia Storytelling

Transmedia Storytelling Transmedia storytelling has become one of my favorite methods of storytelling in recent years.

If you look on Youtube, it's not hard to find a fan video of some sort.

Fake News Law

Fake News Law The law that was adopted in Singapore would likely never be able to pass in the U.S. There are quite a few reasons why.  The most obvious reason being that Americans love their Free Speech. The First Amendment gives people the right to say what they want, and some people love talking. To make a change this drastic would only serve to gain the ire of the people.  Now, that doesn't mean it's impossible to have something be done about fake news. I just think that that responsibility would have to fall into the hands of the tech companies. The government can't really do anything without making it look like free speech infringement. So companies can try to find ways to prevent fake news from entering their sites. Google has algorithms meant to modify their site for their users. May be they can make algorithms that detect and remove inaccurate news. Facebook or Bing could try doing the same.  Fake news is a serious issue. One in need of a serious ...
