Social Media: A Critique
yes, I realize the irony publishing this on a social platform. I choose to wield the sword for good.
Social media, a double-edged sword, fosters superficial connections, validates narcissism, and erodes genuine human interaction in exchange for short-lived highs and dopamine thrills. Its addictive design exploits attention, fuels echo chambers, and undermines privacy. A breeding ground for misinformation and cyberbullying, it's time we reflect on its true societal cost.

Wuthering Heights - A Critique. Runner-Up in Critique Challenge.
A how-to on how not to have relationships. Ever felt ghosted? This ups the ante. Brontë brings us the original soap opera in book form, where everyone needs a therapist and an umbrella. If you can’t finish it, watch Ralph Fiennes go mad as Heathcliff on screen: a must watch!

Standing While Falling
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."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Agreed. Nicely put E.K. While I still use social media, I don’t as much as I use to, yet Vocal itself seems to be a good antidote to still be social, but with people with many shared interests. ☺️
Excellent, couldn't agree more.
