Diaries to Nietzsche
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Who Is Clavicular? The Looksmaxxing Streamer Who Ran Over A Stalker In His Cybertruck
What is so damaging to this current culture is the ant-intellectualism which pervades nearly every element of it. Clavicular, real name, Braden Peters equivocates physical form with getting women, making money, and overall being a strong “man.”

Scrooge has entered the building!
From the swirling depths of inner turmoil, I grace you with a moment of much-needed sarcasm... I was gifted/tempted with the task of sharing unbiased opinions for a torrent of uplifting pieces of written art that have found their way to my unapproving eyes.

Taking a Different Approach on Birthdays
Hello November! It's my birthday month, meaning that I'm a Scorpio, if you're into that sort of thing. One of the best traits about my zodiac sign is that I'm competitive and want to succeed in life. I love celebrating my birthday, which happens to be on November 13. In case you're curious how old I'll be. I'll be turning 38 years old. If you look at my profile picture on here, you must be thinking that I don't look my age and you're right. I've been mistaken for a high school student and a college student. I'm fine with that and looking youthful works to my advantage. You've heard the saying, "Black don't crack." It's another way of saying that black people don't show any signs of aging. As I near 40, I've since outgrown birthday parties. The last time I had a birthday party was at home after school and 14. Nearly 25 years later, someone throwing me a party, while the gesture is admirable and with good intent, I don't feel the need to dress up and attend my own party thrown by someone else. I turned 18 in 2005 and my friend at the time took me out to miniature golf, then had my birthday dinner at Olive Garden. Besides, who doesn't love their endless breadsticks? The staff surprised me with a chocolate cake. After that, my friend and I went to Best Buy, and I chose my first country CD. That album was Toby Keith's Honkytonk University. I couldn't wait to go home and listen to it. I wore that CD out on a daily basis, because no songs from that album were skippable. It was so good and had since fallen in love with country music. Unfortunately, I ended my friendship with my long-time friend and classmate in 2021 after nearly two decades, due to his anti-gay views. I came out to him in the summer of 2012, several months after I came out of the closet. We're no longer friends, but that was one of the best birthday memories I've ever had.

If Great Dead Writers Were on Facebook - 3
I have started these series with the Russian writers and then thought why should I have all the fun alone (thanks to Raymond G. Taylor for the idea to turn this into an unofficial challenge!). So I'm opening it up for others who would like to see if they can bring dead writers into the modernity through their imagined Facebook or other social media posts.

Bridgerton Season 4: A Predictable Turn and Diminished Intrigue
When season 3 of Bridgerton wrapped up, I genuinely thought it would be the show’s swan song. Penelope’s marriage provided a satisfying conclusion to her romantic journey, while the long-awaited reveal that she was Lady Whistledown finally brought her secret life into the open. With both of these major storylines seemingly resolved, it felt as though the series had reached a natural stopping point, leaving few significant loose ends. That’s why the announcement of a fourth season caught me off guard. Still, as someone who’s thoroughly enjoyed the previous seasons and is a fan of historical fiction, I was curious to see what direction the story would take next.

Completed Draft
When is a piece of writing finished? It’s a question with as many different answers as writers. For me, a work is finished when it can’t be improved anymore. Almost everything I have posted here is still in drafting (not draft; they’re posted). Even when I think a work is finished, I read it again, usually finding something I can improve or tighten.

$5 CHICKEN EXPOSED Creepy AI Video Goes Viral Claiming To Reveal How Costco And Other Stores Keep Their Chicken At $5!
At least in some videos, you know that it is obviously AI. In this clip, a chicken explains the difference between “real” chicken and “modified” chicken. The grotesque figure with bulbous eyes, bruised skin, and decaying teeth walks down a processing plant lane to show the chickens that can be found at your neighborhood supermarket. The ones that are encased in plastic and ready to eat, this chicken claims is full of “GMOs.” Let’s stop right there; genetically modified organisms have been part of the diet for centuries starting chiefly with American Indians who used the process of altering the genes to produce more corn.

Stassi Schroeder: The Gender Gap in Accountability
Stassi Schroeder. The #OOTD creator, the queen bee of SUR, the blueprint of the strong-willed woman. Many believe that Lisa Vanderpump's hit reality television show Vanderpump Rules would not have been nearly as successful without Nastassia Schroeder's strong opinions and intense personality.

What in the name of Freaky London is this?! A man at a restaurant has all the words but no action in this quick clip. A black man has a disagreement with a smaller man of less build. He continually speaks down to the brown man. Finally, the yellow man puts his hands to the side and with a surprising upper cut, knocks the tall black man off his feet.
