8 Famous Buildings with Weird Hidden Meanings (According to Conspiracists)
1. The Pentagon (USA) "Five sides, five levels… five times the conspiracy!" Credit: Wikipedia The Pentagon’s shape isn’t just practical—it’s a giant symbol of control, according to some theorists. Rumors swirl that its five sides represent domination over the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and spirit).

Anatomy of a Scene – ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ (The Wire)
Sometimes, it takes a great work of fictional television to cause the viewer to do some soul searching themselves. ‘The Wire’ is not only an excellent crime drama and takes a critical lens to different facets of American society, but there are also multiple scenes that stand out for how they deliver truths to each of their characters for what they themselves are ignorant of or choose to forget. One of those scenes is short but whose succinctness of its message and point-blank delivery is something that you could do a deep analysis of. This scene that I’ve titled, ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ feels like it’s not just about the character, Jimmy McNulty, one of the leading roles of the show and a deeply flawed one at that but also could reflect on our own lives and who we prioritize in them.

The End of The Tour (2015). Top Story - January 2025.
I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.
