We all know the movie Jaws, but has the blockbuster made us misconceive the actions and intentions of sharks? Should we really fear/demonize the supposed "monsters" in our seas? Not all types of sharks are likely to attack. In fact, there are very few species that are a danger.

When you compare Marvel's biggest blockbusters to their most popular characters and comics you seem to notice a certain trend. Some of the company's biggest heroes and comic icons like Spider-man, Wolverine, Blade, and the Fantastic Four seem to be missing, completely forgotten.

Inktober is a challenge that was started back in 2009 by a man named Jake Parker. It started as a way for him to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits, though has now started to become very mainstream in recent years. He copyrighted “Inktober” back in 2019, now artists must be careful when posting the prompts online. The challenge is now called “Artober”, so artists can avoid being fined for copyright infringement. Artists follow a list of prompts or ideas throughout the month of October and post the drawings online each day. Now, instead of being confined only to ink, artists are allowed to use whichever medium they're best capable of using, or perhaps push artists to try a medium outside of what they normally use.

The song has a very interesting beat to it along with a fun choreography. The song really showcases the group's versatile vocals. It has a good build up leading to the chorus. The break dance part really adds to the song. Overall an iconic song
Although I did not listen to it a lot, the release of BTS’ single Butter helped the group become more popular and bigger than they already were. Especially with it being a song in English, it gained a lot of attention and brought a lot of new fans. The beat and lyrics are catchy and multiple remixes including one with Megan thee stallion.
Listened to it every day on repeat. The music video and song show off Hyuna and Dawn's creative styles and sounds. Gives off a very Latin song vibe with the beat. It also showed Hyuna and Dawn's loving relationships. The choreography looked fun and catchy.

Many if not most of us take food for granted. We consume every meal without a second thought, often ignoring how lucky we are. Going to the grocery store or a restaurant is filled with choices, but the horrifying truth is that millions of people around the world starve every year. According to the organization Action Against Hunger, this number is around 811 million. This means that 811 million people do not have access to at least 1,800 calories each and every day.

There may be a reluctance to watch Odd Taxi due to its simplistic visual aesthetics featuring a cast of animals akin to anime like Beastars. Despite the cutesy character design and overall visual aesthetics, this anime has a suspenseful premise with heavy dialogue. This anime's lead character, Hiroshi Odokawa, is a Walrus taxi driver who is quite peculiar. Throughout the film, Odokawa drives around many diverse characters that somehow all connect, each contributing to the mystery of the disappearance of a young girl that is the central plot of this anime.

Since it first opened in 2015, Hamilton has enjoyed massive mainstream popularity as well as critical acclaim thanks to the play’s groundbreaking blend of hip hop culture with the traditionally less hip story of our founding fathers. The rap-based soundtrack -- which has become a hit on its own -- provides an often humorous contrast to the play’s 18th-century setting while also making the history more accessible to younger audiences.
