‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 1, Episode 1 Recap: Heaven’s Half Hour | The Nerd Daily
While Daredevil fans have been gifted with minor cameos and drop-ins from the Hell’s Kitchen Crusader for a few years now, it has been a while since the iconic red title screen has graced our screens.
A Recap of Daredevil for New Fans
Since its conception in 2008, The Marvel Cinematic Universe has dramatically changed, with recasts, genre flips, and project cancellations. But no shift has been as drastic as the complete reboot of the MCU’s television shows. Once found on Netflix, with minor references to the blockbuster films, these original shows have been almost completely erased from Marvel’s catalog.
The Values of Booktok
"If you don't think books are political, you are dumb," Gabriella Cappelli, 26, captioned her TikTok video, which she posted in frustration in the days following the 2024 Presidential Election results. ShareTyped in bold pink letters, she continued in the video: “Can all the BookTok girlies come together and create a list of authors who voted red because I don’t want to give them a single cent of my money; Books are political, BookTok is political.”
Social Shelves
Located on the corner of 5th Avenue and President Street, steps away from the Union Street R station and the Gowanus Canal, The Ripped Bodice is a niche bookstore wrapped in pink bows and aged erotica pages. As one wanders through the mismatched shelves and handmade decorations, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary bookstore. It’s filled to the brim with personality, with recommendations from staff taped to shelves, candles themed after favorite characters available to smell, and areas devo...

After her success in the Young Adult Fantasy space, it is refreshing to see Kate Callaghan thrive with Potions and Proposals, a new paranormal adult romance story.
Watch Where You Step
When thinking about ghost stories, Brooklyn is not the first place that comes to mind.
The most infamous tales always seem to occur in southern cities with histories of witchcraft and possession, or mountainous towns with stories surrounding haunted cabins and mysterious forests.
When pondering the second most populated New York borough, one is more likely to think of classic diners, overpriced juice bars, or warehouse art studios. But many of these places are home to some of the most unusual...

Existing as a Woman in Fan Spaces Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up to Be — Girls Like Magazine
By: Nicolette Cavallaro I blame the T-shirt. If I hadn’t gone out of my way to try and chat with the owner of it, I could have ignored some of the blaring red flags and warning sirens going off around me. But no. It was New York Comic Con 2023, and I was exploring the jam-packed and overwhelming show floor. Outfitted in their favorite merchandise or cosplay, fans were crowding the display tables and auction booths. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a guy around my age wearing a Red Hood T-shirt...
Palm Beach's Candace Barasch Shares Advice For Novice Collectors Looking to Match Her Star-Studded Trove
Looking inside Candace Barasch's candy-colored home today, it's hard to believe her collection began with just a few black-and-white images. She confesses, "It was all my husband and I could agree on!" Since then, the pair have expanded their tastes to include the vibrant works of artists like Josh Kline, Anicka Yi, Rashid Joshnson, Alex Da Corte, and more. Still, the "moment in time" captured by a photograph is an aspect of artwork Barasch continues to chase in all her acquisitions. "Contempora...

Ten Books to Help Inspire, Educate, and Change - Collage
Reading about activism? What a waste of time, right? What can a couple of old books tell me about the world that I don’t already know?
It turns out — quite a lot. Reading and educating yourself about disparities, injustice, and change doesn’t stop when you close the pages of To Kill a Mockingbird or A Raisin in the Sun in middle school. It’s our responsibility as citizens to stay educated, constantly challenge our thoughts, and inspire others. Although most activism education comes from social m...

It's Good to See You Again, Seaweed Brain
My thoughts on Disney+ 's Percy Jackson and the Olympians adaptation.
Never Ending Conflict
These days, we are very familiar with war. We have never seen a world without it, with the United States being involved in some form of contact for most of its existence. We are so used to the ‘Go Army’ commercials and the fighter jets flying over our significant athletic events that we have forgotten that combat isn’t some abstract concept across the ocean. People’s lives are forever changed when troops step onto their soil. An-My Lê uses her past and camera lens to remind us of this.

Seeing Through His Lens: A Q&A with Interior Designer Sergio Mercado
Sergio Mercado may draw inspiration from the sleek, contemporary style of California, but his timeless and luxurious designs have become an iconic part of the New York City area, whether that be a classic townhouse or a plush restaurant.
Mercado started his interior design journey in San Francisco, where he developed a signature style that became highly sought after in residential, hospitality and commercial spaces. He spent years building up brands like BAMO, Inc. and Clodagh Design, helping t

Virtual Laughter Isn't Virtual Anymore
“How’s your credit score?” Tracy Carnazzo shouted, pointing toward the covered bar. The bartender, Andrew, gave a thumbs-up and laughed from behind the counter. The native New Yorker had decided to start her comedy show off by hitting on the bartender and asking him about his financial status and housing situation.
The crowd at Caveat*, a comedy theater underneath Clinton Street on the Lower East Side, cheered Andrew on as he continued chatting with the performers on stage. This is, of course,

Viewers fail to understand real-world relevance of “Black Widow”
"Black Widow" sheds light on the horrors of human trafficking.
For the past decade, Marvel has owned the movie box office, producing blockbuster after blockbuster. But since their Infinity Saga ended with Avengers: Endgame, many of their productions have been controversial to fans. Phase Four has been met with complaints by many fans about bad CGI or terrible main characters. One film that suffered greatly under the critical eyes of fans was Black Widow, which starred Scarlett Johansson as her

Norse Paganism's Impact on Norway and the World
While virtually exploring the country of Norway this past year, I came across many topics I found interesting, including their Vikings History, their closeness with nature, and the attachment to Christianity. While researching these topics, I was able to see what connected the three subjects and to the Scandinavian country: Norse Paganism. Although I had always found religion and mythology intriguing, I knew almost nothing about the old Norse Religion. I went on a deep dive into some of the most...
