Dubai loves to sell itself as a cultural crossroads—a place where East meets West, where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t.
What you actually get is a glossy, shallow replica of what culture is supposed to feel like. Instead of a vibrant, living expression of history, Dubai has chosen to bulldoze over its roots and replace them with a high-end, westernized fantasy designed to lure tourists and expats with money to burn.
If you’ve followed youth hockey long enough, you start to notice something weird. The best kids — the ones who dominate the ice, who make the all-star travel teams, who end up drafted years later — all seem to be born around the same time of year. January. February. Maybe March if you stretch it. It’s not coincidence. It’s a structural advantage built right into the system.

Arthur Empey was an American living in New Jersey when war consumed Europe in 1914. Enraged by the sinking of the Lusitania and loss of the lives of American passengers, he expected to join an American army to combat the Germans. When America did not immediately declare war, Empey boarded a ship to England, enlisted in the British Army (a violation of our neutrality law, but no one seemd to mind) and was soon manning a trench on the front lines.

There are historical figures who are misunderstood. Then there are those who are so deeply entangled in the mythology of their own name that the myth becomes the understanding. Niccolò Machiavelli is in the second camp. His name is shorthand for manipulation, deception, backstabbing, and political sociopathy—an entire worldview reduced to a sneer.

Trauma isn’t something that just evaporates when the traumatic event ends. It’s more like a pebble thrown into a pond – the ripples keep spreading outward, affecting not just the person who experienced it, but everyone around them, including their children and even their grandchildren.

When we hear that a woman has fallen in love with a man behind bars — especially one convicted of a violent crime — the immediate reaction is disbelief. Disgust. Maybe even morbid curiosity. The question comes quickly, almost instinctively: Why would any woman choose this?

Sleep paralysis is that fun little experience where you wake up in the middle of the night and realize, with absolute certainty, that you are both (1) fully conscious and (2) completely unable to move. This is usually accompanied by a looming sense of dread, sometimes punctuated by the sight of a shadowy figure standing in the corner of your room, slowly inching toward your helpless body like it just walked off the set of The Ring.
It’s one of the most infamous images of World War II. A lone Japanese aircraft, smoke trailing, diving straight into an American warship. No attempt to pull up, no last-minute ejector seat. Just a fiery explosion, a pilot willingly riding the plane to oblivion. The Kamikaze.
