Weighing in on the AI Slop Problem . Top Story - April 2025.
There have been some people perhaps waiting for this: I am about to weigh in on the AI Slop problem that is persisting throughout the realm of Vocal's subcategories. To me, there are three separate sections of the problem and though some are quite annoying, there is one issue with this form of content which is pernicious and vile. I will be addressing that one last in this article. Here's how it will go: I'll start with the most obvious issue, the second one will be a more mid-level problem (again annoying but can and is being dealt with) and the last one will be the most horrid of them all.

Did I tell you this already?. Top Story - April 2025.
I’m out of ideas. Except for this idea, I guess, to write about it. It sobers one when the mind goes its merry way, never bothering to take stock of current inventory so as it can provide hints and subject matter as required in functioning society.

The Church of C.R.E.A.M.. Top Story - April 2025.
By brightening the lights only slightly, the house took on a glow. “It’s offering time!” Reverend Dr. Cullen Clarion showed veneers and a purple suit. He wore a black and gold robe over it. He stood at six feet six inches. He motioned for the musicians to play the standard “C.R.E.A.M.” The screens showed the QR code and options to use the envelopes on the back of the chairs.
