When Black Panther hit theaters in February of 2018, it immediately became one of the most impactful and important comic book movies of all time. Not only was this movie a top-tier MCU product, but the representation, cultural expansion, and authentic aesthetic made this an instant classic. It’s one of the many reasons the shocking death of Chadwick Boseman in August 2020 was such a great loss for the MCU, Marvel fans, and the world....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to showcase a brand new adventure for the titular MCU team, but its official synopsis seems to hint that Thanos’ impact is still affecting them after dying in the Infinity Saga. Marketing for the upcoming James Gunn-directed MCU threequel officially began when its emotional trailer was released at this year’s CCXP. Fresh footage from Vol. 3 was filled with various Easter eggs tied to the larger MCU, such as Gamora’s return and an emotional callback to the “We Are Groot” line from the first movie....

Beautiful boxes feel like a mountain cabin inside. Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is popular these days because it is strong, it has a low carbon footprint and it is easy to work with. But there is also something wonderful about its aesthetic properties, something lovely about living in wood. Years ago, skiiers used to pile into tiny wood ski chalets, and now Carlos Martinez Achitekten have recaptured that feeling in the Revier Mountain Lodge, Lenzerheide, Switzerland....

Trees in fall are in a state of serious change and reorganization. The tree is becoming dormant.

The mechanisms, called “senescence,” is what tells a tree to close down for coming winter. Tree Activity in Winter Trees may look inactive going into winter but the fact is they continue to regulate their metabolism and only slow down some physiological activities....

When it comes to cleaning the floors, we wondered which is better: A Roomba or a Dyson upright vacuum. On the one hand, the Roomba runs all the time, cleaning floors like Cinderella and charging up when it runs out of juice. An upright, however, only uses electricity at the specific times you choose to run it. So which is better for the environment and your wallet?We realize that this can quickly become a slippery slope, and it doesn’t take much of brain walk to start trying to factor in the carbon emissions of production for each device, the recyclability, the life span for each of these in the average American household, the source of the electricity used to run each…....

The Guardians of the Galaxy haven’t starred in their own film since 2017, and the current roster is soon expected to depart the MCU, but this year looks to offer a big send-off for the popular team.

As is the case seemingly daily at this point, there is no movie in Hollywood dominating the news rounds like Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: No Way Home. Even considering everything else the MCU has offered and will continue to offer through 2022 and beyond, Tom Holland’s Spidey threequel is already living up to its billing as the most ambitious solo superhero movie ever made. Peter Parker will team up with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme attempts to help Peter with his identity crisis, leading to the Multiverse literally going into complete chaos....

And while there are dozens of special events (open houses, exclusive tours, special lectures, screenings, cocktail-fueled shindigs, etc....

Southeast Georgia onion farmers are ready for the spring harvest and sale of one of the nation’s most iconic agricultural products, the sweet-tasting Vidalia onion.

Shipping containers were designed to move anywhere in the world; there are cranes and ships and trucks designed to move them. They were designed to be secure. They were designed to resist anything nature could throw at them. They were designed for freight, not people. That’s one reason I have been dubious about shipping container architecture; These boxes were not designed to be sliced and diced and tied down to one spot....
