Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

Read more from Cycles of Reflection"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips.

It wasn’t time. Not yet."

Atheism as a Civilizational Operating System A system's exposure of belief, control, and survival logic I am not examining atheism as a private opinion or a casual worldview. I am analyzing it as a civilizational operating system that governs how a society defines origin, authority, morality, meaning, and destiny. This is a structural exposure of atheism as a belief-governance architecture. I am not using narrative framing or cultural commentary. This is an analysis of control logic, survival dependencies, and systemic failure points. uity. It exists to keep humanity sovereign over its own definitions of truth, authority, and destiny.

January 2025 did not ease the nation into a new year—it jolted it awake. From tragedy on New Year’s Day to record-breaking winter storms and a historic presidential inauguration, the opening month set a relentless pace for the year ahead. Politics, climate extremes, and national security concerns collided almost immediately, reminding Americans that 2025 would be defined not by quiet transitions, but by moments that demanded attention, resilience, and reckoning.

This blog post explores the reported October 2025 breakup between Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise, a romance that dominated headlines for nine months. Following their initial meeting in February 2025, the pair became inseparable, sharing romantic getaways to Vermont and high-profile dates at events like David Beckham’s 50th birthday. However, the "spark" reportedly faded as Cruise’s trademark intensity and desire for control began to overwhelm the Ballerina star. The article delves into the "messy" details of the split, including Cruise’s reported feelings of being used and his fears of being "undateable" after another failed high-profile relationship.
