Hold Thy Peace’s ‘Hurricane Diane’ brought some modern comedy to Greek mythology

Spooky BookTok worth it or not: The Lost Apothecary

‘Chainsaw Man,’ a rip-roarin’ good time
People like to believe in big things. Ideology, religion, destiny. It makes us feel important, and gives us a rationale for toughing it out and living on a daily basis in our world. However, what’s lost is that, frankly speaking, most of these are really just complex psychological coping strategies. Oftentimes, what really compels people […]
