My experience watching game shows live - for free!
Art by Faye Deetsch I’m a huge fan of reality TV and game shows. Over COVID, I binged America’s Got Talent, The Voice, World of Dance, Jeopardy, Master Chef, Survivor, and many more. It recently occurred to me that I live in Los Angeles and have the chance to be part of the live studio audience for many of these shows, any time, for completely free. With this knowledge in mind, my family booked tickets to see the America’s Got Talent finale in September. The process of gettin

ChatGPT: A tool, or a cheat?
Art by Emaline Varava ChatGPT, founded by OpenAI in 2015 and released in November of 2022, has become a famous website worldwide. Whether you are a student, teacher, or parent, you’ve probably heard of it—or maybe even used it.

A drive through Altadena one year after the Eaton Canyon wildfires
On January 7, 2024, the Eaton Canyon and Pacific Palisades wildfires left 12,500 families with no home, no possessions, and a neighborhood that would be forever changed. Now, the community has begun to turn the page and start anew. As I was biking through Altadena about a month ago, the rubble that had taken over the town was still evident, but there was progress made on the cleanup effort too. I found a resilient community of rebuilders that emanated optimism. In these sites

End of an Era: the release of a new docuseries chronicles the Eras Tour
Image credit: Disney+ Last month, the six-part docuseries The End of An Era, starring Taylor Swift came out. To see whether it really is the “end of an era,” I watched and reviewed all of the episodes.

Swift discusses the terrorist attacks in Vienna and the deaths of Swifties killed at a dance party. Episode 2: “Magi

Silksong and how game journalists affect gaming
Art by Simone Modina When Hollow Knight: Silksong hit the scene this September, it was one of the most hyped video game releases in History. While tens of thousands immediately began playing it, some of the first people to share their opinions on the game online were game journalists. Infamous in some more chronically-online circles, game journalism is how a large demographic of people hear about new games. When they speak, people listen, and they say that the game is too dif
