Power Rangers Review: "Goldar's Vice Versa"
I promised this quite a bit, not just to myself, but to others in my past Power Rangers Reviews. And as two-time WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels said in a June 2005 episode of Raw, "I made a promise, and I'm here to deliver." I remember this so well for so many reasons, one of them being that for Adam Park, Aisha Campbell, and Rocky DeSantos, this was their first full episode as Power Rangers. All three quickly embraced being part of the sextet, especially Adam, who was ready for anything back in Part II of "The Power Transfer."

It was an old colonial town in Osclee County, a suburb in a quaint and quiet city in Massachuttes. It was where the revolution had started that formed this country, but now it was in the news again. Or was it?

Craftation in the Garden of Literary Delights
In the garden of earthly delights where beauty meets debauchery. That’s where we sit and discuss it all. Craft without catharsis. Our protagonist thought long and hard about the prospect. I imagine them — or us, if you envision yourself as one of them — waiting like those in that play of waiting and existentialism. We’re always waiting, and even when waiting doesn’t explicitly carry emotion, it’s there. How do you remove the release necessary to create something others will connect with?

Letter To My Unborn Child
Dear child, my joy knew no constraints as I write this letter to you; my pen shook its whole body in gusto upon realizing this letter was meant for you, my writing pad wore a look of glee after being informed of the purpose of this letter, the stars glow with a smile upon my wise decision to write you, the moon hallowed my thought to ensure I do not forget a message…

Ai Is Not the Villain
There is a growing anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence that feels both familiar and misplaced. Everywhere you look people are panicking about Ai “talking to itself,” replacing workers, making decisions humans shouldn’t relinquish, or eventually turning against us. The fear is louder than Skynet, theatrical, and often deeply emotional but when you listen closely; it becomes clear that much of this fear is not actually about Ai at all. It is about power, control, trust, and a long history of human systems failing the very people they were supposed to protect.

Playlist: one old favourite, two new
That Clare - Get Away Anyone who rates Songs of Faith and Devotion as her all-time favourite album and picks out Cabaret as another major influence is alright in my book. Teesside’s That Clare produces elegantly dystopian electro pop with a strong political slant.

The Prophets of 2026
The Prophets of 2026 The world has always needed voices that look beyond the horizon. In different centuries and in different lands, Baba Vanga and Nostradamus became those voices. Both saw through the veil of time, each in their own language, each believing that the future was not fixed but waiting to be shaped by human choice. Their names are separated by five hundred years, yet their warnings for 2026 seem to echo one another as if history itself were repeating its lesson.
