What Astrology Tells Me About the Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Verdict. Top Story - June 2022.
People had asked me to write an analysis on the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. I couldn't because I was too busy, and quite frankly, I was trying (and failing) to avoid the whole thing because on a personal level, I found it too triggering. That said, after actually seeing their astrological charts, it is (as you will see) amazing how much they line up with the current transits, and upon realizing that it was Johnny Depp's birthday yesterday (at the time of me writing this), I just couldn't resist writing about it now that I finally have some free time.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Trailer Gives Us First Look At Darth Vader. Top Story - May 2022.
With the release of the official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi on May 4th, we have been given some exciting first looks at our favorite villain in the Star Wars universe. Of course, it is none other than the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Lord Vader. A fan favorite since 1977 during the opening moments of A New Hope, Vader has captivated fans for over thirty years. It is no surprise that Disney has been giving sparse details about his appearance in the new show streaming later this month. But what role will he play in the show given what we have seen of the former Jedi Knight and current Sith Lord?

How 'Kenobi' Can Explain Where Obi-Wan's Nickname Came From . Top Story - May 2022.
One of the major reasons I loved Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was its ability to re-contextualize A New Hope right from the opening crawl. The crawl mentions rebel spies winning their first battle against the evil Galactic Empire and how spies stole secret plans for their ultimate weapon, the Death Star. For me, watching the opening scene of A New Hope directly after watching Rogue One is maybe my favorite Star Wars thing to do because they connect so well.

From Ancient times to NFT. Top Story - April 2022.
Now, I know what you're thinking: why should I bother with a light art article? I understand. And believe me when I say that light art will almost certainly make a reappearance in the future. It's simple to learn and doesn't cost anything to do so. It also brings people closer together in a different way. Designers have been attempting to reintroduce the sense of wonder that comes from watching artwork made by people of many cultures and religions for years. Artists, fortunately, have been able to accomplish precisely that. So stop worrying about where your next great muse will come from and start paying attention. The world of visual arts is undergoing a significant change right now!

I Asked an AI Content Writer To Rewrite ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Top Story - January 2022.
AI content writers are heralded as the next best thing (primarily by tech companies selling AI content writing tech). They have already taken over some jobs from humans like copywriting due to only needing minimal input. There's nothing like bragging about your strengths. Even the AI conversion from "AI's are heralded to be the next best thing for writing" worked overtime at selling its services.
