How Streaming Broke Itself — And Why I Went Back to Piracy
I’m probably not the first person you’ve heard say this — maybe not even on this platform alone — but this is something that has been on my mind for a while, and I feel like I have to share it, even if it’s just to put it out there somewhere.

The death of Jonathan Kent
In comics there's two running gags regarding death. No one ever truly stays dead. We've seen this happen countless times with countless heroes, especially after 1993's infamous "Death of Superman" story arc. But the exceptions to that rule are Uncle Ben, Marth and Thomas Wayne, and Jonathan, better known as "Pa" Kent. Their deaths pose too much of an impact on the arc of our heroes. Some comics have ventured into the idea of how our heroes lives would be impacted should those characters live instead of die. I will not be doing that today, maybe in a future article. Please subscribe to see should that day come. But, I would like to show my idea of how I would handle the death of "Pa" Kent.

Ringside & Radiant
Growing up, WWE wasn’t something you were expected to be into as a girl. At least, not where I’m from. Wrestling was "for the boys"—loud, chaotic, full of muscle and mayhem. But even as a little girl, I found myself drawn in. Not because I wanted to throw punches, but because I saw stories unfold, characters evolve, and drama that could rival the juiciest soap opera.

The poor reception for the film has lead the studio to press pause on plans for a live-action remake of Tangled, which had been reportedly about to begin casting before Snow White's release. Now, the fate of the live-action Tangled apparently rests on how Disney's next two live-action remakes (Lilo & Stitch, hitting theatres in May, and Moana, currently in production) are received by audiences.
