Comic Book Recommendations
The MCU version of the Infinity Saga was great for what it was, but the reality is there were very many characters missing. So if you liked the infinity stones and the stories that surrounded them then the comics are going to be great for you. Now the MCU did what it does best and that is combining several comic book storylines to recreate and refresh them on screen. So just reading one title won’t really give you the fullness of the story. So here we go with comic books to read if your favorite MCU movie is Infinity War (or Endgame).

Rebecca Welton's Love Life
I am working on a review of the most recent Ted Lasso episode which I will publish here soon. My process was somewhat messy: I watched the episode several times, jotting down some key ideas, details and character lines. Then I decided to experiment with the ChatGPT and asked it to write a 600-word essay using my raw material. Granted, my thoughts were somewhat disconnected and out of sequence, I was still shocked by the result. I think it could very well be an alternative version for fanfic. Judge it for yourselves, below is the story in its entirety (about 60 words short of 600, so the chatbot has close to human college students' estimates of the essay length).
