A Masterpiece of Monochrome Obsession
There are few songs in the history of rock that are as universally recognized and as widely misunderstood as The Police’s 1983 classic, "Every Breath You Take." On the surface, it floats on a hypnotic, arpeggiated guitar riff and a steady, soothing rhythm that has fooled countless couples into choosing it as their wedding song. But beneath that velvet exterior lies a lyrical narrative of possessiveness, surveillance, and the chilling aftermath of a relationship gone cold. SEE MORE >>>

RIPPLE
01/27/26
Daniel Yam
In a world that often feels fast-paced and indifferent, it is easy to forget the profound power contained within a single, selfless gesture. The award-winning short film Ripple serves as a poignant reminder that kindness is never a solitary event, but rather a stone cast into a still pond, creating waves that stretch far beyond the initial point of contact.
This beautifully crafted narrative centers on the idea that the good we put into the world has a mysterious way of finding its way back to us, often through the lives of those we have never even met.

Two Sci-Fi Titans Clash in a Crossover That Is Way More Than Just Monkey Business
Let’s be honest: when you hear "Planet of the Apes vs. Fantastic Four," your first instinct might be to check if it’s April 1st. It sounds like the kind of Silver Age madness that Stan Lee would have dreamed up over lunch, or perhaps a fever dream from the depths of a fan-fiction forum. But here we are in 2026, and Marvel has not only made this crossover a reality but has also made it genuinely fantastic.
Writer Marc Guggenheim understands exactly what this book needs to be. He doesn't waste time trying to ground the premise in gritty realism. Instead, he leans into the high-concept sci-fi weirdness that connects these two franchises. The story kicks off with a classic Reed Richards experiment gone wrong (as they often do), hurling Marvel's First Family through the time stream and crash-landing them not just in the future, but in the future where humanity has fallen, and apes rule supreme.

In the medieval courts of old, the Jester was the only person allowed to tell the King he was a fool without losing his head.
Fast forward to the digital age, and the stakes haven't changed; only the methods of execution have.
Instead of the axe, we have the "ban," the "demonetization," and the "content warning."At the Free Speech Guild, we believe that satire isn’t just entertainment; it’s a vital sign check for a healthy democracy. If you can’t laugh at it, you’re likely living under it.
