Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Animal farm
I never liked reading in school. However one book I hope never leaves the curriculum is Animal Farm. Beowulf, The Most Dangerous game, The Crucible, don't even come close. I'll be honest I can't explain why it's stuck with me ever since. The symbolism sure, but there's just something more.

The Peanuts Movie

However things turn around for him when he flies a kite and the little red haired girl chooses him to become pen pals. Meanwhile his dog Snoopy turns into the World War I flying ace to save his love interest, Fifi from the Red Baron. It is heartfelt and faithful to the original materal.

Social Media: A Critique
Social media, a double-edged sword, fosters superficial connections, validates narcissism, and erodes genuine human interaction in exchange for short-lived highs and dopamine thrills. Its addictive design exploits attention, fuels echo chambers, and undermines privacy. A breeding ground for misinformation and cyberbullying, it's time we reflect on its true societal cost.

Vocal
No one is speaking or singing, unless one is performing to oneself. We should speak the words of our poetry and sing them if they are also written to a tune, but only we can hear and listen, and whoever and whatever happen to be in our space, our vocal.

MrBeast AKA MrMoney
YouTube's biggest name. I must say this guy could as well be the face of the entire platform! From his challenges to giving out wads of cash, this guy is so rich, he is giving it all away! This makes me ponder how does MrBeast do his taxes? I bet his accountants are losing their minds as I write these words.
