Not your average comedy
If there’s one thing the Internet has irrevocably altered for the foreseeable future, it would be the way entertainment content is delivered. Whether you’re streaming shows on Netflix or viewing videos on YouTube

Killer cuts by the contemporary king of Compton
Kendrick Lamar’s debut studio album good kid, m.A.A.d city was nothing short of the greatest rap album of the year, and perhaps the greatest deconstruction of gangster rap since the genre’s creation in the days of Dre and friends.
Tri-cities to wage expensive battle against chafer beetle
The European chafer beetle has reportedly been infesting BC lawns since 2001, but 2015 has seen a mass increase in the insects and resulting damage.
Futurology 101
Technology as we know it today, considered a luxury by most in the 1990s, is an integral part of most people’s lives in the developed world. Smartphones, GPS, and the like have become deeply rooted in our daily lives. This, in particular, goes for the latest generation to reach adulthood—a demographic commonly referred to as the millennials.
People I can do without: The sequel
It’s common knowledge that 90 per cent of sequels to anything—be it a film, a book, or an article in your school’s paper—are just not quite as good as the originals that spawned them. Sometimes, the sequel in question is acceptable, if still inferior to a noticeable degree; just as often (okay, slightly more often), you encounter a sequel that is so horrific that you envy those existing in another version of reality where it stayed in the depths of hell where it belongs forever (or, at the very least, you try to get a refund).

I’d like to address a certain group of men. I’m about to chuck out a scathing criticism, so I have to clear some things up: I am totally on your side.

Loss of a legend
Sam Simon, 59, a prolific television producer, director, writer, philanthropist, and animal rights activist, passed away on March 8, after a three-year battle with cancer. He was diagnosed as terminally ill in 2012 and given three to six months to live. He proved those estimates wrong and showed the world how much one person can truly give back to society.
This is your brain on social media
For better or worse, the Internet—and, consequently, social media—has spent the past 15 or so years establishing itself no longer as a luxury, but a utility. A complete and utter necessity for governments and citizens of the first world.
Unexpected sequel offers expected crude comedy
I wouldn’t have thought we’d get a sequel to 2010’s sci-fi, dude comedy Hot Tub Time Machine, but if there was any comedy that was good enough to deserve a sequel, it was that one.
People I can do without
I’d say every single person has a list similar to mine—a list of people whom they either disapprove of or will never associate with, whether it’s for one reason or several. Now, I feel qualified to write a list like this, simply because I’ve never encountered anyone who would put me on their own lists.
