The Quiet Deal That Could Reshape the World: Inside Trump and Xi’s Surprising Trade Truce
When two of the world’s most powerful leaders sit down together in a near-secret meeting, the headlines tend to shout. But in the case of the October 30, 2025 meeting in Busan, South Korea, the change was more subtle than sensational. What emerged was less a loud victory and more a quiet shift.

The Art of Automation: How AI Is Quietly Replacing Creativity with Code
When machines start making art, what happens to the artists who taught them? A few years ago, “artificial intelligence” was a buzzword — something futuristic, fascinating, but distant. Today, it’s everywhere. It edits our photos, writes our headlines, paints our portraits, and even suggests how we should feel about the world. For many of us, that shift happened so smoothly we didn’t even notice it.

Dear Diary in Late October 2025
Dear Diary, I've been reading both AI generated articles and real articles written by contributors here at Vocal.media and of course taking in the various topics jumbles up inside my mind like a math formula summing up for some conclusion. That's what this diary entry is - all those words mixing up together in my mind for an opinion, a summation. "Add it Up" sang The Violent Femmes, a band that I enjoyed listening to in my teens. Well, I do. I always do. I used to pride myself on being an excellent critiquer, until I started noticing that most contributors (whether they are serving you food, a product, a service, or some entertaining or educational reading material) want praise, not critique. And now, with AI generated articles, most of the contributors feel that there is nothing to critique because AI is perfect, right? I don't think so. I've read some of the AI generated articles. The format is shiny, the grammar and spelling mistakes absent, and the presentation is pretty --- like those photos of the perfect hamburger complete with decorative garnish. But when you go order the REAL hamburger, it doesn't look exactly like the photograph. Why not? Oh, that's right, there is a difference between REAL and Photo-Shopped. Like the difference between a real mother who breast feeds her children and a mother who would never let a baby suck on her breasts because that's "disgusting".

AI: The Silent Revolution Transforming Our Everyday Lives ✨ Introduction — The Invisible Companion Without realizing it, we’ve let Artificial Intelligence quietly seep into every corner of our daily routines. A few years ago, AI sounded like something from a futuristic sci-fi movie — distant, abstract, maybe even scary.

Journal Entry. Content Warning.
Well, I guess I just have to start somewhere. So I’ll start from here. Where else is there. I’m full of sacred rage. Or maybe it’s just blasphemous, unhinged, homicidal rage. No—it’s Sacred. Nothing can break me or turn me from God. Nothing can separate me from the Source that breathed me into being. Not the lies, not the violence, not the endless corruption of men who pretend to be holy while worshiping their own egos.
