“Confessions of a Teenage Hacker Who Got Too Deep”
1. The Spark I wasn’t always a criminal. At least, that’s what I tell myself. It started with curiosity—nothing more. I was sixteen, sitting in a cramped bedroom in Newark, surrounded by blinking LEDs, sticky notes scribbled with command lines, and a gaming chair I never used for games. My laptop was my weapon. My battlefield? The Internet.

When Justice Fails
Justice is supposed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. But sometimes, the system that promises fairness delivers something else entirely—misjudgment, bias, and irreversible consequences. Every time an innocent person is convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, it sends shockwaves not only through their life but through the entire framework of trust we place in the courts. These aren’t just headlines. These are real stories of wrongful convictions that show what happens when justice fails—and why it matters for all of us.

This is the story of how a small town covered up a major crime—and why no one ever talks about it.

Roe Overturned, What’s Next?. Content Warning.
On Friday, June 24, 2022, the landmark Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade was overturned.

It was of no surprise, but we still feel the grief and pain this causes. I’m writing about this not because it’s trending right now but because I’m deeply concerned about this, as it continues to get worse while legislators continue to work hard to ban abortion and contraception.

Echoes in the Rain: The Brighton Boy Who Walked Into the Sea
Brighton, with its salt-laced air and pastel-painted lanes, is the kind of place where mystery feels out of place. It’s a city of seagulls, surfboards, secondhand bookstores, and stony beaches where people gather with fish and chips under striped parasols. But in the early autumn of 2011, just as the summer crowds thinned and the skies began to frown, something happened that would ripple through the seaside town for years to come.

The Empire Crumbles: Diddy’s Dark Reign Exposed as Jury Deliberates His Fate
The air in the federal courthouse hung thick with a palpable tension, heavier than any bassline Diddy ever dropped. After seven weeks of harrowing testimony, graphic details, and a shocking glimpse into a world of alleged depravity, the fate of Sean "Diddy" Combs now rests in the hands of twelve jurors. As of this Monday morning, June 30, 2025, the jury has retreated behind closed doors, tasked with weighing evidence that could send one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures to prison for life. The very notion sends shivers down the spine of an industry once dominated by his seemingly unshakeable influence.
