Cryptid theory
So we all have heard of creatures like Bigfoot or Nessie or goat man or the moth man or the yeti or any other creature that is supernatural In origin and as a my doctorate in cryptozoology must tell you I have an AVID belief in cryptids but you know I’ve always wondered why exactly it is that we can never seem to catch a clear photo of Bigfoot or Nessie, well I have a theory and stay with me here ok, I think they have an electromagnetic field around them.

What’s in the Box?
What is in the box, exactly? In no particular order, it could very well be the following: Is it Gwyneth Paltrow’s head? A fair soon to be mother, whose life was cut short from an overzealous and envious man whose sole purpose was to expose the seven deadly sins.

Harry Porter Trains Ukrainian Soldiers
You can't make this up. No one can, even those of us who write satire and dystopian fiction. This exchange reportedly happened on one of the Russian media channels where they allow viewers to call in with their opinions. I am going to translate it from Russian, verbatim.

Effects From Another World
It all started with a short story: Who Goes There? tells of an expedition in Antarctica that finds an alien frozen for 20 million years, who is over a meter tall, weighs 42 kilograms, has blue hair, green blood, and three glowing red eyes. When scientists thaw it, it comes to life and absorbs everything around it, including humans. It becomes clear that the thing can mimic not only the bodies of others but also their personalities.

Don't Let The Door Hit You: 6 Competitors Banned From MTV's 'The Challenge'
After 38 seasons, MTV's The Challenge has seen its fair share of controversial moments and drama. It's impossible to throw 20 or more people into a house with a grand prize of thousands of dollars and not have controversy. However, not all of the drama had respectful sportsmanship at the end of it.

The Origin and Evolution of Mary Sue
The joy of internet discourse is people throwing terms around that they do not actually know the definitions of. One of the most used terms on the internet, used in attempts to discredit and criticize women lead projects is Mary Sue. Now I have never once seen this term actually used correctly and have only seen it in reference to Rey from the latest Star Wars movies, Captain Marvel and Galadriel in Rings of Power. None of these women are Mary Sue’s and the term has evolved into an easy identifier for misogynistic asses who are incapable of valid criticisms but this was not always what the term was. So here we go, the origin of the term Mary Sue.

Save the good life
We keep seeing people who say goodness is an impossibility. These days they keep saying who is better because of goodness. Hearing such words seems to be true. Because we hear such words from those who are tired of doing good. And we are also in the pain that even if we do good, evil will come, no matter how many times we do good, we will feel bad, so there is nothing wrong in thinking.
