The Harsh Reality

Cancel culture is such a big part of online media these days. It seems that you can be cancelled for almost anything, even simple mistakes. With teens now having free access to a versatile set of social media, ‘canceling’ people who have offended them has become their pass time. The need for the children of this generation to post and publicize everything is something that I don’t think I will ever understand. Issues with each other should always be solved through proper communication between the people involved. There is no need to go straight to social media to vent in hopes of gaining more supporters for their respective causes. I think many people need to be reminded that there are global issues, such as climate change, that are much bigger than a teen being angry at their friend that needs the attention of the general public. In no way am I trying to imply that cancel culture has no purpose. The concept itself is something concocted in an attempt to maintain a semblance of contr...

It has been brought to my attention as a result of a recent reflection that I, quite literally, live under a rock. So, in my pursuit of greater knowledge, I have come to the conclusion that I must make a list of quotes. I have referred to a website in the system of the great god of knowledge itself – Google.

I’ll be honest – I didn’t peg The Onion as readers of Julius Caesar, but it seems the ides of March have arrived, and Kamala Harris has decided to cosplay. Yes, in fact the article “‘Stab Him! Stab Him, You Cowards!’ Says Terrified Kamala Harris To Aides After Plunging First Knife Into Biden’s Back” is a great retelling of how Julius Caesar (played by our dear President Joe Biden) is murdered in cold blood by his own allies. Kamala Harris is clearly Casca, who was the first to stab Caesar. Of course, this makes the aids who “grow uncertain of the blades in their shaking hands and backed away toward the exit” the senators who were also responsible for the death of Julius Caesar. Frankly speaking, however, the author of this article is quite a genius. It seems to me that the author has decided that idioms are not their cup of tea and have taken a rather literal meaning to them. Case in point: “She plunged a knife into President Joe Biden’s back”. The idea is that Kamala Harris is a bac...
