This week we break down why the new Wuthering Heights is amazing early on, then derails, and how a wave of smut-first storytelling rewrites expectations of love, agency, and meaning. We trace the cultural costs of eroticised romance and argue for discernment over dopamine.

• praise for performances, music, and atmosphere in "Wuthering Heights"
• where the adaptation parts ways with Brontë’s themes
• why eroticism replaces complexity in modern romance
• how smut novels shape attachment, desire, and standards
• gendered patterns in how media influences behaviour
• practical ways to audit your media diet and reset expectations

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon!

This week we trace how Fahrenheit 451 maps onto our lives of screens, short-form loops, and engineered division, then argue for a better aim: follow Christ, pursue objective truth, goodness, and beauty, and reclaim deep thought. Along the way we test AI’s limits, question productivity worship, and share a personal testimony of change.

• Fahrenheit 451’s logic of control through ideas
• propaganda fatigue and polarisation in modern media
• porches to wall-sized screens and the loss of talk
• AI’s blind spots in nuance, emotion, and ethics
• short-form content versus deep, slow reading
• productivity as idol and the myth of arrival
• progress instincts, games, and retirement traps
• aiming life at Christ and the cost that frees
• objective truth, goodness, and beauty linked
• cathedrals, real art, and culture that lasts
• closing call to seek Christ and think deeply

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and he’s coming back soon, which means get your life in order. Follow him, find out about Christ. If there’s one thing I can recommend, investigate it, look into it.
