Jellystone, err... "Yellowstone"
Despite its nonsensical timeline, episodes follow the same pacing as Baywatch, but in Montana, so the beachy, butt-centric music video montages have been replaced by cattle-wrangling and rodeo routine music video montages. Also, no one plays a sympathetic character and everyone is a villain—except for Jimmy, the former meth cook.

Lessons in Chemistry
Lessons in Chemistry is a great book. They should make a movie out of it. It tells a great story about a female chemist in the 1950’s who everyone treats unfairly just because she’s a woman. But really she’s a genius! Extremely well written! I recommend reading it!

Barbie Review
“Barbie” was one of the best movies that I have seen in a while. She evoked true empathy for both women and men. I have never seen a movie capture the topic of gender equality in such a sweet, yet strong way. It was very creative! Bravo and well done!

A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah Maas
There is no better way to spend a day than with a Sarah Maas book. I could just live in the world she has created. No fantasy info-dumping, or paragraph long descriptions. Only magic, and color, and wonder, with a good dash of humor throughout. I recommend it to everyone.

Are School Uniforms Necessary Or Not?
Are School Uniforms Necessary Or Not? It has long been debated whether school uniforms are really necessary or not. While some say that they are absolutely useless, others say that they are an absolute must in every school. Some reasons they are necessary are that they make sure students don’t get distracted, or bully others. Some reasons they are unneeded are that they are unreasonably expensive, not great quality and sometimes too demanding. In this essay I will be discussing whether I think they are necessary or not.

Shadows in the Algorithm: An Unveiling of Unfairness in Machine Learning
In the gleaming corridors of our digital age, where algorithms dance and machines learn, there lies a shadow few dare to explore. A shadow cast by the biases and prejudices of a world far from perfect. This is a thrilling journey into the heart of unfairness in machine learning—a realm where ethics and technology intertwine, where justice meets judgment, and where human imperfection is reflected in the code.

Constructive Criticism Makes You a Better Writer & Human Being
Egos aside, who doesn't love a five star review on their work. Depending on the context, such reviews can either be helpful, or they can rightly downgrading, depending on what was said in such reviews. Earning a Top Story award on Vocal Media (and appropriately enough; speaking of things being in fives rather than threes); it has been fifth time successful for yours truly in that regard. Moreover, I digress. Successful outcomes as a by-product of your writing work; from winning a Top Story award on Vocal Media, to achieving yet another payout on Stripe, and even gaining new subscribers out of the blue; would such milestones in producing such quality workmanship be the keys towards being open to some constructive criticism/feedback on your work the majority (if not all) of the time? Absolutely.
