A Brief History of Valentine's Day
As we all know, Valentine’s Day these days is considered a “Hallmark holiday”, meaning it’s only purpose is for card and candy companies to get people to buy their products by making them sentimental to guilt people into believing they need gifts to show their loved ones affection. But do you know where they day actually came from? The accounts are disputed as there were many martyrs named ... ...more

Corona Virus is Not a Single Virus. Let's Stop Using It as a Scare Tactic!
I’m sure other people on here have already covered this in their posts about the Corona Virus, but I am also guessing there are some other posts that have gone up that are a little misinformed. Obviously, being safe and taking care of yourself is important, but people are sensationalizing this virus as they always do and spreading misinformation. Corona Virus is NOT inherently a deadly ... ...more

Company Responsible for 2017's Biggest Fashion Trend Goes Under
Sometimes when a designer, inventor, or any other type of creator comes up with a new product, they strike like lightening. Silly Bandz made a fortune in the 2000's despite going out of style a few years later. Other new products hit for a moment but fizzle out quick, usually with repercussions. In 2017, a Kickstarer created by two male friends brought the hottest male fashion trend of the ... ...more

Lupita Nyong'o Shares Thoughts on Horror Being Ignored at the Oscars
Lupita Nyong’o is an incredibly talented actress, and last year she took her first steps into the world of horror film acting. As I said she’s extremely talented, so it was no surprise that she adapted her style easily to the genre and brought something wholly new to it when she starred in Jordan Peele’s “Us.” But she wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar for her performance, despite just about ... ...more

YouTube Recommendations: When You Need a Friend
Coming back to you with another YouTube recommendation because there’s a lot of drivel and dumb content out there that just isn’t worth your time, and if I can help by directing you to some good channels, what kind of person would I be if I didn’t? Do you like people with an offbeat sense of humor? Do you like channels with people whose friendship just radiates out from their videos? If so, ... ...more

Hot Takes: The Oscars Runtime Conundrum
I think award shows are dumb at best a lot of the time. People know at this point that most award shows are fixed, and certain people are picked to win based not on the criteria they’re actually up for but personal preference and biases. But sometimes some real deserving people or films win awards, and I would like to think the prestigious academy is getting better about their biases. Not ... ...more

Oscars Recap: The Big Winners
The 92nd Oscars ceremony took place last night, and despite the event racking up a record low for viewers with only 23.6 million tuning in, it carried on as always to award the best of the best in movies for the year of 2019. Viewers who did tune in were treated to some awkward and uncomfortable moments as award shows are always known to present. This year featured some politically charged ... ...more

Rewatch Reviews: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Typically, movie and TV show reviews are written by people right after they have watched the movie or TV show the first time. They write from gut instincts and first impressions, but I feel like you only form your true opinions of something, especially if you love it upon first watch, after a secondary watch. Once past the initial surprise and element of the unknown, you’re able to be a little ... ...more

Hot Take: The Scariest Thing About the Internet
There are a lot of scary things about the internet: predators, scammers, hackers, and more. But the scariest thing about the internet, I believe, is just an umbrella concept that all of these other deeply concerning things fall under. The ability to easily fake something on the internet, often to a point where you can’t actually tell it’s faked, and getting people to believe it is so ... ...more

YouTube Recommendations: If You Love Analyzing Everything
My favorite thing about YouTube is when people take something they love, something they’re passionate about, and share it with their audience but in an interesting and wholly them way. People on YouTube these days have to develop brands to stay relevant, but if part of your brand is being authentically yourself (and it shows in your videos), then I’m fully on board. Which leads me to my next ... ...more

Barnes and Noble Under Fire for Tone Deaf Black History Month Campaign
Social responsibility is something that once upon a time was not a concern for big companies. Large companies and corporations were (and don’t be fooled, still are) all about making money, and that was the end of it. There was less concern back in the day over the impact big companies had on the environment or the ways they effected the masses beyond getting them to buy their ... ...more

Saw Franchise Rebooted with Chris Rock at the Helm
ALL ABOARD. It’s time to get back on the reboot train, folks. You know, it felt like we had gotten off for a little while there, as there wasn’t much news about reboots in the works for… maybe a month or so. To be fair, the newest franchise getting the reboot treatment was announced back in May of 2019, but we’re only just getting the teaser trailer for it now and that’s enough for me to get ... ...more

#WritingWednesday: The Art of Factual Writing
One of the most difficult forms of writing is factual, truly journalistic writing. Finding a way to strike the right balance between facts and interesting storytelling takes time and practice. It’s especially difficult when having to write about a topic you’re unfamiliar with or feel as though you’re not the right person to speak on the topic. I still struggle with this kind of writing. I’m ... ...more

Friendly Reminders as the U.S. Presidential Race Ramps Up
I don’t normally speak on political topics and mainly share news about pop culture or other fun, relevant things. But every once in a while, I feel I've got to touch on certain topics to make it known that just because I don’t speak on politics, doesn’t mean I'm not paying attention. Now that doesn't mean I’m here to lay out my political leanings, take a side, or condemn anyone. I’m just here ... ...more

Weighing In On the Super Bowl Halftime Show Controversy
Neither opinion about the Super Bowl halftime show this year is the “unpopular” one because both sides of the argument are being equally vocal on the issue, but in my personal opinion one of these opinions should be the unpopular opinion and the other should be the norm. But let me back up first. If you don’t know, this past weekend on February 2nd the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San ... ...more

Original Cast Performance of Hamilton to Come to Theaters in 2021
Hamilton is one of the most popular and raved about Broadway musicals of all time, if not the most. It’s written and producers by Broadway superstar Lin-Manuel Miranda, and it previewed in early 2015 and blew up from there. The musical is about the life of Founding Father, lawyer, and banker for the United States, Alexander Hamilton. It is created to feature a widely diverse cast in any ... ...more

Hot Takes: The Batman Overkill Needs to Stop
Today’s hot take: Batman needs to be given a rest. I’ve expressed this feeling before when it was announced Robert Pattinson would be taking over the Batman moniker after Ben Affleck stopped. It was my feeling when it was speculated that Kristen Stewart (ironically) was tapped for a Batwoman movie. Or when I heard that the Joker would still have a Batman element. Or when I found out Ruby Rose ... ...more

Mattel's New Barbie Models Diversify the Line Even Further
Barbie has been gracing playtime and the imaginations of young children since 1959. Once panned as being an unattainable and unrealistic standard of beauty, the Barbie Doll line is now considered innovative and inclusive. Barbie’s original design saw her with too small of a waist, too thin arms and legs, and too much height to maintain her light frame. Many mothers, mother’s raising girls ... ...more
