Daria And The Destruction of The Status Quo
Daria was an animated sitcom on MTV in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The titular character is a stoic, sarcastic teenage girl who likes nothing more than for everything to stay the same. She idolizes the status quo, so the show follows her lead, at least for the first two and half seasons.

Book Review: "The Ridge" by Michael Koryta
So I was back in the library and its mid-2025. It's really warm in my apartment and on the whole, it's alright I guess. I'm going to share something with you here: I've lost a lot of hair so I'm going to have to go back to the doctor's office again. But, at least I've got books and, good books like this one. Again, I love horror novels but I'm often very picky about the psychological thriller sub-genre. I think this time, I hit a good jackpot. The Ridge is as weird and terrifying as it is also thrilling and cold. It has a great atmosphere and Koryta's writing is brilliant.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 16 Review
I know I sound like a broken record, but holy moley, this genre needed this show badly. Beyond the Gates is showing the world how soaps are properly done: without immensely overdone drama, without over the top acting, and with much, much needed representation. The other soaps really need to take notes. Beyond the Gates raised the bar. Everyone else is playing catch up, plain and simple.

Book Review: "Stolen Innocence" by Elissa Wall
It's May 2025 and the weather is pretty good. Whilst I'm writing this I'm eating nachos but what's new? There's some interesting stuff out on Kindle sales and so, I've been about. One of those books is called Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall. It's a true account of the cult perpetuated by the monstrous Warren Jeffs - a man who's evil cannot be put into words. If you've seen the Netflix documentary Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey then you probably know bits and pieces of what I'm talking about. Let's take a look at just what Elissa Wall has to say about this and, content warning: shit's about to get dark.

Analyzing the Growing Concern Centered on the Voice Cast of "The Simpsons"
We all love The Simpsons, don't we? It's the ultimate cross-generational show. I grew up with this show in the 1990s, and even now, it's still on and obliterating that bar set by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's The Flintstones back in the 1960s. The Simpsons is the ultimate primetime animated series; has been for decades now. I'm barely old enough to remember when the series aired on Thursdays. It's been a Sunday night series for 30 years now.

GPTZero: Part of the Problem?
I have seen multiple discussions about running work through GPTZero in order to test for AI content and I can honestly say to you that this on the surface is a great idea, but please don't be naive when you think that it will always give you a correct result. Also don't be naive to think that AI hasn't developed past GPTZero's capabilities...

Weighing in on the AI Slop Problem
There have been some people perhaps waiting for this: I am about to weigh in on the AI Slop problem that is persisting throughout the realm of Vocal's subcategories. To me, there are three separate sections of the problem and though some are quite annoying, there is one issue with this form of content which is pernicious and vile. I will be addressing that one last in this article. Here's how it will go: I'll start with the most obvious issue, the second one will be a more mid-level problem (again annoying but can and is being dealt with) and the last one will be the most horrid of them all.
