"Weirdos" . Top Story - May 2025.
My heart pounded against my rib cage as my mind went completely blank. But then Pallas caught my eye from the other side of the hallway. One hand hovered over her chest and rose and fell slightly with the rhythm of her breathing. Her deep green gaze seemed to glow in the distance, allowing a better understanding of her message:

The Heroes/villains Journey. Top Story - May 2025.
The Hero’s Journey is a precocious one. For if one is not careful one will end the journey as the villain. Most villains see themselves the hero. They start with good intentions and build their road towards a noble goal. Yet somewhere down the path obsession, greed, love of power, or righteousness sets in.

How Gen X Redefined Traditional Norms.... Top Story - May 2025. Content Warning.
Gen X is often portrayed as the generation that raised themselves and there is a reason for this. Gen X'ers were raised by the Silent Generation and Boomers, which those older generations were generally very set in their ways and opinions. They had a hard life, living through wars and massive changes on a global scale. Religion was still a priority but the time for church became something that was not as pressured on the Gen X kids as by these generations. Silent Gen and Boomers were often busy working, especially as technology began to rapidly advance and the cost of living rose just as quickly. The older generations also were not accustomed to the mindset of there being much to "worry" about when it came to letting "kids be kids", because they were raised with the mindset to work, and work meant supporting your family - even if it kept you from them often.

Vacillating No More… Or Will I?. Top Story - May 2025.
Dear Brain (or whatever may be in my head), We both know what this is about. Ever since I was an ugly little thing which passed off as a human child or possibly Cthulhu’s long-lost cousin, I've always had difficulty in making choices. I can't make the quick decisions like everyone else; you know, like normal people can. It’s a battle to decide on one thing or the other, be it something inconsequential or something serious with disastrous outcomes.

Interview With an AI. Top Story - May 2025.
Author’s preface: The employment contract I signed had some fairly strict confidentiality clauses therefore I have had to leave out a significant amount of detail and am not able to provide any information about the actual content of the work. I am probably being overly conservative but I did not want to take any chance with what is the only job I have at the moment over this story. My apologies.

Analyzing the Growing Concern Centered on the Voice Cast of "The Simpsons". Top Story - May 2025.
We all love The Simpsons, don't we? It's the ultimate cross-generational show. I grew up with this show in the 1990s, and even now, it's still on and obliterating that bar set by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's The Flintstones back in the 1960s. The Simpsons is the ultimate primetime animated series; has been for decades now. I'm barely old enough to remember when the series aired on Thursdays. It's been a Sunday night series for 30 years now.
