Japan has some really impressive universities and, as a rich country, is able to nurture all sorts of talent. The Japanese ruling party is a bunch of old people from a few traditional families mixed with some new faces. It’s very unfortunat

Absolutely, but that process is absolutely not data driven. “Feeling” about a show, and connections to the people running are the two major factors driving those decisions. Data driven shows tend to be forgettable and ignored by newer gener

Apple, Quibi, Amazon are trying to plan the perfect breakout show. It doesn’t work like that. A lot of the networks’s and Netflix’s breakout shows were not planned to be great. That’s why they just greenlight a bunch of random pilots and se

At some point, the EU has to see a pattern of degradation and corruption, and start engaging actively with the people of the countries, instead of just expecting places such as Bulgaria and Romania to wake up and decide to be rich and devel

Both forms are correct, but proved is more prevalent in recent style guides. As one who is intimate with spelling should know, English has no unified body of spelling, grammar, or rules at all, therefore it’s very hard to say that one’s spe
