Michael Jackson's Dangerous Album | 31 Years Later
It is now more than ten years since Michael Jackson passed away. His music remains popular, but the man is as controversial as ever. When it comes to expressing opinions on this icon, people generally take sides by either viewing him as a lasting musical genius or a monster whose life became such a mess in the final years of his existence that he will forever be categorised as a statistical oddity who happened to be exceptionally talented. There seems to be a perpetual obsession to find the "truth" about Michael Jackson whatever that means in 2022 and beyond.

F8%k Nice
Whew, chile**, this new Meg album, Traumazine*, is one that I was NOT expecting, but I am so glad I listened. This album is the volcanic-field-slapping paradise of my dreams, and from someone who’s never been a big fan of modern hip-hop, I can say that I was converted after listening to this record.

It's Time to Open the Gates and Say Goodbye to the Keepers
It's time to open the gates and forget the idea that 'gatekeeping' as we know it today. Although art is subjective, it is there for all to interpret. How one perceives and consumes art is all based on interpretation. I like things others don't, and vice versa, but I will not tell that person they are wrong in doing so, or that they didn't understand it right because we have different perspectives; different interpretations. This is why we relate to different characters, and see ourselves in others, while others we do not. Art is there for a reaction, a reply, an effect. It is for conversations, some controversial, are taboo and perhaps necessary, while others are plain, simple and maybe a little bit dull. Art may carry meaning, but sometimes it may not. It is all dependent on you, the receiver.

Why It's Time to Delete TikTok. Top Story - August 2022.
Okay, everyone, I hate to ruin your day but it is time to delete TikTok and downgrade our time spent on social media altogether. I miss the days TikTok was just a Ke$ha song, or better still, the days before I was born with that weird robot general thing from Return to Oz (1985). Needless to say, social media is the bane of my life, and I think I speak for my generation when I say, it has ruined us entirely. I don't know anyone who doesn't have some sort of mental health problem, from mild to major. It's as if it's contagious, and perhaps it is. Cancel culture is a poison, micro-narcissism exists everywhere spreading its toxicity to every corner of the inernet. Oh, and our privacy has been sacrificed in the name of security, but this sacrifice has been in vain. The terms and conditions have made us all willingly exchange both our privacy and security for the sake of funny videos.
