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".

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.

The Day I Lost Everything—And Found the Truth About People

In an instant, the familiar stability of my life slipped through my fingers like grains of sand, leaving me exposed and utterly alone. But amid that crushing loss, something unexpected happened: I discovered the truth about people, about kindness, resilience, and the power of human connection.

Portland’s “No Kings” Protest Becomes a Symbol of American Resistance
When the streets of Portland swell with chants, banners, and thunderous footsteps this Saturday, it won’t just be another protest—it will be a reckoning.
