The Mirror That Shattered
The internet’s obsession wasn’t with her outfit or presence — it was with her face. Comparisons flooded social media.

Why Trump Doesn’t Care About Climate Change?
Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern politics. His position on climate change has sparked worldwide criticism, yet it perfectly aligns with his political identity and personal philosophy. Trump is a right-wing politician, a nationalist, and above all, a businessman who sees the world through the lens of profit and power rather than sustainability and science. His refusal to take climate change seriously is not accidental; it reflects his deep commitment to economic nationalism and his belief that environmental concerns should never outweigh America’s industrial and financial interests.

“My Heart Stayed Calm Through Horror”. Content Warning.
How about a comparison of horror movies to the horror going on in America, lighthearted, I watched a horror movie last night, to my surprise my heart was not racing. I turned on the news about the ice terrorism and the horrors of Whitehouse being gutted so I turned the news off, turned on a horror movie again. I watched five horror films; my heart was pure at 82 beats a minute. I turned on the news again about tear gas sprayed on Halloween party together in a park, with children and knocking down old people, I said fuck it watched another horror film. what a relief to watch The Conjuring again and not the horrifying evil penetrating from the nazis in DC.

Is the Government Shutdown Real?
Remember when Trump kept saying "Fake News" and everybody called him the Anti-Christ for saying that? They mocked him, hated him, and called him all kinds of bad things because he was pointing out the FACT that many people were unaware about how much nonsense they accept as truth just because it came from the television or the "News" reporters. Do we still feel that way or have more people begun to realize that we have no idea what is true or false anymore? I have to admit that for the portion of my life that I call the "young years" it was really nice believing that I knew everything or at least that I knew enough to discern between fact and fiction. These days, I have no idea. Unless it actually occurred to me or to my witness, I have no idea who is truthing or fibbing. Like this "Government Shutdown" thing ---- What the heck are they talking about?
