Senate Republicans and the Government Shutdown: Causes, Actions, and Impact

Why I stopped watching true crime
I love horror movies, Halloween, the supernatural, and witchy vibes. For many years, I also watched true crime documentaries, which I have gladly discussed with all of my friends. I wasted countless hours reading articles about horrible crimes. Out of morbid curiosity, I have looked at crime scene photos. All of this was insanely bad for my mental health. It took me many years to realize that. Our true crime obsession has gotten to a point where there are disturbing fandoms. There are events like Crime-Con that are very similar to Comic-Con. We have convicted murderers on TikTok sharing prison hacks. There are exclusive interviews with murderers that people look forward to hearing. Most people know the killers' names but not so much the victims. I quit watching true crime for two reasons. First one, because there are killers that are now more successful than people who actually deserve it. The second and most important reason, one of my best friends was murdered by her husband. Murderers should not be given a platform. We need to quit inspiring the next one.

Rising Storm in the Caribbean: The Growing Tensions Between the United States and Venezuela** In recent months, tensions between the United States and Venezuela have reached their highest point in years, transforming what was once a largely diplomatic and economic standoff into a situation filled with military signals and open hostility. The deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier group to the Caribbean and the arrival of a U.S. warship in Trinidad and Tobago have fueled fears of possible military confrontation. Venezuela’s government has condemned these actions as direct threats to its sovereignty, while Washington insists the operations are meant to maintain regional security and counter illegal activities.

South Korean Christian Abusers, Exploiters, and Frauds are Historically Common
This chronological overview traces seven decades of major crimes committed by South Korean Christian leaders, from Park Tae-seon’s 1950s fraud convictions to Jung Myung-seok’s 2025 sexual-violence sentence. It details embezzlement, fraud, tax evasion, sexual assault, and coercive control cases involving figures such as Sun Myung Moon, David Yonggi Cho, and Shin Ok-ju. The analysis links these patterns to the professional limitations of theology-only education and rigid gender expectations in conservative Christianity, suggesting that such environments may exacerbate vulnerability to corruption. It closes by urging stronger transparency, regulation, and ethical oversight within South Korea’s religious institutions.

Why Your Washing Machine Isn’t Drying Clothes Properly: Common Causes and Solutions. AI-Generated.
If you’ve ever pulled a load of laundry out of your washing machine only to find it still damp—despite selecting a “dry” or “spin” cycle—you’re not alone. Many modern washing machines, especially combo washer-dryer units or those with integrated drying functions, promise convenience by handling both washing and drying in one go. Yet, when clothes come out wetter than expected, it’s not just frustrating—it can lead to mildew, wasted time, and even damage to your machine over time.
