The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford
A masterpiece of modernist fiction, The Good Soldier was first published in 1915. Subtitled A Tale of Passion, it serves to be Ford's analysis of deception and moral ambiguity and what that means when relationships begin to disintegrate. A great example (if overlooked) of the 'unreliable narrator', this book is a highly influential one which, if you're looking for an immersive classic, this is the one you want to turn towards.

Book Review: "Agatha Christie" by Lucy Worsley (Pt.2)
This review covers chapter 13 through to the end of chapter 23. *** After the birth of her daughter, Rosalind - Agatha Christie seemingly sinks deep into domestic life. She learns to make foods, and the author makes a wry comment about how cooking was now considered too interesting for servants alone and how Virginia Woolf accidentally baked her wedding ring into a dish. Agatha Christie and Virginia Woolf were contemporaries yes, but they are two very different women. For example: Agatha Christie was not yet part of a great writing circle, whereas the richly born and richly married Woolf was part of the Bloomsbury Group. But nonetheless, Agatha Christie would continue to cook and write and yet, her husband was not too interested in her cooking at all.

Spogebob Review
“SpongeBob SquarePants” aired its whimsical installment “Opposite Day,” an episode that flipped the familiar rhythm of Bikini Bottom on its head. The story opens with Squidward’s melodramatic proclamation that the town will observe “Opposite Day,” prompting an absurd inversion of everyday norms: whereas he is anything but grumpy and more cheerful than usual, while SpongeBob, ever the optimist, dutifully recites a litany of pessimistic affirmations. The episode’s premise, simple yet subversive, is framed by a rapid-fire dialogue that showcases the series’ hallmark wit, while its animation subtly accentuates the visual irony through exaggerated facial expressions and color palettes that shift from bright to muted tones as the day progresses.

SpongeBob Review
The episode "Nature Pants" opens with SpongeBob SquarePants experiencing a profound, almost spiritual crisis, violently rejecting the sanitized comforts of his pineapple home and the structured rhythms of Bikini Bottom. He becomes consumed by a romanticized, Rousseauian vision of primordial existence, believing his modern life with its fluffy pillows, fondue sets, and meticulously organized socks has corrupted his natural essence. A mishap while working at the Krustry Krab kitchen which was a fire that he had helped put out made him think about wanting more out of life. He quits his jobs and hands his possessions to his friends and leaves to live in Jellyfish Fields.

XOXO
XOXO was released to Netflix on August 26, 2016. Six strangers come from around the USA to attend the music festival called XOXO. What comes is a day of and night of partying, drug trips, dates, fights, love, happiness, and an opportunity of a lifetime. The most important thing about the film is it is a character film. The main plot is the festival but it’s the ensemble that drives the story. We focus on the individual lives of Ethan, Krystal, Shannie, Ray, Neil, and Tariq. During the pandemic of 2020, music festivals and concerts had been either cancelled or postponed so it is nice and bittersweet to see lots of people in a group dancing and having a good time.

AI News Today: What Makes AI Companies Worth Investing In Today. AI-Generated.
Two years ago, artificial intelligence companies could raise capital on narrative alone. A compelling vision, an elegant demo, and a promise to “transform everything” were often enough to unlock venture funding. Today, that playbook is obsolete. Investors are no longer underwriting ambition they are underwriting operational proof.

Reviewing "Strong Medicine"
I still remember when Lifetime had their share of original series about a quarter-century ago, and among their shows was Strong Medicine, which had to have been the network's first medical drama. Medical dramas had been a big thing for decades, but during my lifetime, somewhere wedged between NBC's long-running hit, ER, and the current longer-running ABC series, Grey's Anatomy, Lifetime gave us the subject this review, Strong Medicine.
