Never Piss Off An Author (You Will End Up in Our Next Work!)
A cliché statement, yes, but true, nonetheless. It comes with the territory of watching this world turn (and burn) before my very eyes as well as your own, I’m sure of it. In my own case, I have felt story upon story begging me to be written as more events unfold, not merely in current events globally, but in the behind the scenes of said events. Never mind how such events may impact my own life—bigger things are at play and must be called out!

The Iron Claw Is The Best Wrestling Film of This Decade . Content Warning.
This past weekend, I decided to go to the movies with my brother. From there, we both chose to see The Iron Claw. For those unaware of the film’s plot, it details the lives and tragedies of the Von Erich wrestling family. Zac Efron stars as Kevin Von Erich, the oldest Von Erich, with Jeremy Allen White as Kerry Von Erich, Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich, and Holt McCallany as Fritz Von Erich, the father of the Von Erich. Along with them is Lily James as Pam Adkisson and Maura Tierney as Doris Von Erich, the mother of the Von Erich.

Navigating the Storm: The Timeless Debate on India's Uniform Civil Code
William Carlos famously said, "Time is a storm in which we are all lost." This quote fits with the timing and situation with which the Uniform Civil Code has been brought up into the limelight. It seemed an impetuous and nimble idea to prompt a heated discussion about UCC. The tenor of various religious leaders and politicians changed when the "Law Commission of India" announced to enlighten itself with the advice of all people of India regarding UCC.

Justice or Discrimination
In the new year, the castigation of Indian laws vis-a-vis the laws that try to alleviate the circumstances by commiserating with women has increased. The enlightenment of this discrimination, as referred to by some people, is taking a fillip among the masses, especially in youth through socio-legal influencers such as Amish Aggarwala. There is nothing wrong with it but reverberating the same point makes the whole idea of amending the laws for better equality defunct as the people prima facie abominate the whole apparatus of the judicial system with a knee-jerk reaction. And this surely creaks the people’s trust in our independent judiciary which has made many precedents of ensuring equality.

The Elephant Man
It proved completely unnecessary for me to rewatch David Lynch's 1980 film The Elephant Man for the sake of this review, as I have seen it more times in my life than was advisable perhaps--life is short, relatively speaking, and spending your time rewatching the same film, rereading the same book, and always listening to the same songs, seems a waste. It is a film I am so intimately familiar with I can easily visualize every nuance of every scene. It is ingrained in my subconscious permanently, and the stark, often deeply horrific black-and-white images play across my closed eyelids intermittently. That world of London in the late 1880s, with its grit, dirt, soot, fog, massive poverty, dripping alleys, and sense of utter industrialized decay, echoes some aspect of my soul that knows that environment--I could elaborate upon that, but, for the sake of this review, had better refrain.

Conquering Headache
'Conquering Headache' is a professional book that was compiled by Rapoport, Sheftell,and Tepper. This book will start to teach you all about the types of headaches that are out there from the tension-type headache, the two types of migraine headaches, the cluster headache, as well as headaches that maybe caused by alcohol, the environment, etc. There are also various treatments mentioned other then medications like relaxation and biofeedback and a few others. This is an older academic book, but the basic facts still exists and I know there has been changes made since the early 2000's when this textbook was origionally published.

Judges. Content Warning.
Who really has the right to judge anybody? The book of Judges seems to me a story of good and evil. It is also the story of the various wins and losses of towns and families in learning to follow the rules of society. All the characters must learn how to solve their own issues and problems. If I read right it also has the story of Samson. One can learn that being a judge does have its ups and downs.
