Pacific Rim Uprising, the second installment in the franchise, opened this weekend to moderate success. It ended Black Panter's six-week reign of the weekend box office, bringing in $28 million domestically opposed to Black Panther's $17 million.

It's not even about school, extracurricular activities, personal life, college, but rather juggling everything that's going on and how it affects...

To others, it is an abomination, rearing a generation of kids leaning towards acts of violence and crime. A record-selling game released in September of 2013, GTA 5 exceeded already high commercial expectations. But is this...
As of October 27, 2022, around 14 million Americans have casted their votes in pre-election ballots across 44 states. Among these states, Texas has seen 1 million early votes.
