Does the Dog Die?
In an era where entertainment is more accessible than ever, audiences are constantly exposed to content that can be emotionally intense, violent, or psychologically triggering. Movies, TV shows, books, and video games often include scenes that viewers may find distressing—but until recently, there was no simple way to check for those specific moments before engaging with the content.

It was a novel that critiqued Victorian morals to an extreme degree, presenting people with the horrors of purity culture and the way in can destroy an entire life and society.

SpongeBob Review
In the infamously divisive SpongeBob SquarePants episode "I’m with Stupid," the narrative centers on Starfish Day, a celebratory occasion marred by the arrival of Patrick Star’s parents. Anxious to appear intellectually superior in their eyes, Patrick hatches a preposterous scheme and begs SpongeBob to deliberately act like a simpleton.

The Gardener of Middle-earth: Why Samwise Gamgee is the Actual Hero of The Lord of the Rings
If you ask a casual fan who the hero of The Lord of the Rings is, they’ll likely point to Frodo Baggins, the burdened martyr, or Aragorn, the king returning to his throne. They might even suggest Gandalf, the celestial puppet master. But if you look closely at the mechanics of Tolkien’s epic—and if you listen to what J.R.R. Tolkien himself said in his letters—there is only one “chief hero.”

Book Review: "Arguably" by Christopher Hitchens (Pt. 3)
This section opens with the essay Why Women Aren't Funny and is not about what you think it's about. Rather than stating that women aren't funny (an approach taken by many a misogynist, but not by actual men who are fans of women like Lucille Ball and Lauren Bacall), Hitchens states that men are simply more childish about humour. He references tests done and results achieved to show that women use more of their brains when examining humour whilst men would rather simply fill the silence when laughing at a joke regardless of whether it is actually funny.

SpongeBob Review
The episode "Procrastination" stands as a masterclass in relatable anxiety, perfectly capturing the agonizing paralysis that accompanies a looming deadline. When SpongeBob is tasked by Mrs. Puff with writing an 800-word essay on traffic safety, the simple prompt spirals into a psychological odyssey. The initial excitement of the assignment quickly dissolves into a series of absurd distractions, ranging from the rhythmic ticking of a clock to the lure of a freshly cleaned floor, all while the blank page taunts him with its pristine, judgmental whiteness.
