Boston Baked Betrayal: A Look at Nikki Bella's Villainous Turn
The November 10, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw will forever be remembered as one of the most magical Raws in WWE history. It started off on a magical note already. John Cena, for the first time in his storied and iconic career, finally... finally captured the Intercontinental Championship. He did it! He completed the Grand Slam, joining the prestigious list that includes Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and someone who we are still mourning 20 years later, Eddie Guerrero. Raw kicked off with something that I had been waiting at least a decade for.

Stop Harassing Women who Smoke
I could have smoked three cigarettes for how long it took me to find the right image to put with this article. I'm sure the AI generators don't struggle like I do trying to force an image into the pixel spot wanting a specific mood/look but not getting the number of pixels correct. Ugh. Ok, now that I've vented, what was I wanting to talk about today? Oh yeah, women who smoke. I did not light a cigarette while I wrote this venting prelude paragraph. I just wanted you to know that because as I move on to the next paragraph, I'm going to refill my coffee cup and then light a cigarette.

Wayne, An underrated, Under viewed, Gem.
These days, a good TV show is incredibly hard to find; my Netflix watch history could probably prove my point. It’s because of this rarity that I’m here to tell you about a true diamond in the rough and its title is “Wayne”.

Throwing Stones
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Well well well, fancy seeing you here! I know it has been a few weeks since my last post but it's been a turbulent time as those of you who read my author's notes will know. This is what this 'blog' story is about. I have my diagnosis!

Mikayla Matthews: Growing Up, Motherhood, and Public Life
Growing up is rarely simple. People make mistakes, learn difficult lessons, and slowly discover who they are. Most of these moments happen privately, shared only with close friends and family. For some individuals, however, life unfolds in front of a public audience. That reality can make ordinary experiences feel far more intense. Mikayla Matthews is one of those people whose personal journey became widely visible through television and social media. Viewers first noticed her as part of a group of young adults navigating relationships, friendship, and early adulthood. Over time, her story grew beyond entertainment. It became a portrait of motherhood, personal struggle, loyalty, and learning to grow while thousands of people watch every step.

Is Lab-Grown Meat Even Edible?
For decades, the idea of meat grown in a laboratory sounded like something out of science fiction. The concept of producing a steak or chicken nugget without raising or slaughtering animals seemed futuristic, even unsettling to many people.

The goddess of ten thousand names.
I wanted to write about the goddess Isis for some time now, but felt like my understanding of her is too limited, and my perspective won’t do this powerful archetype a justice. Mainly because, just like the title of this essay suggests, she was the embodiment of countless archetypes, and I haven’t studied them enough.

Why Every Woman Should Buy Her Own Diamond: The New Era of Independent Sparkle
For a long time, the narrative surrounding diamond rings for women was strictly linear. It began with a romantic proposal, followed by a wedding, and perhaps an anniversary a few years down the line. The diamond was always a gift—a token of someone else’s affection, a symbol of a promise made by another. But as we navigate 2026, that old-fashioned script is being rewritten.
