Finally, there’s some fire in the presidential campaigns. After the mirage of candidates hoping for public approval in mind-numbingly dull debates, we get one hell of a one-on-one battle between the governors of California and Florida. Both the presidential candidates stood on the podium with peak confidence and the pinnacle of oratorship. Moderated by the Fox News Host Sean Hannity, the 90-minute debate was a compilation of all the topics that, even though they have been previously covered, still brought in a fresh perspective from relatively younger candidates. In the heated arguments and one-upmanship, certain misinformation and accusations were thrown…
Did we all collectively live in the Mandela effect, where we forgot about the fox? Up until 2013, no one bothered to learn or care what a fox sounds like…heck, we didn’t even realize that we never even thought about it.

According to the World Health Organization, around 1 Billion children aged between 2-17 have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional violence.

One organization has risen to the occasion and created a unique approach to raise awareness of the rampant abuse of minors. And one celebrity has brought this movement to highlight using his media presence and influence. …
This is the best oxymoron I have ever come across– “Nobel Prize Winner War Criminal.” One man’s legacy encapsulated the history of three different eras and changed the course of the economy across three different continents. Henry Kissinger left behind a lot to unpack after his death on November 29, 2023, in Kent, Connecticut, United States. At 100, Mr. Kissinger still continued his consultancy to the most potent authoritative figures globally. But at the same time, his policies claimed millions of lives. Now, we are again at a crossroads on whether Kissinger is the coveted or hated political figure. Henry…
The camera adds 10 pounds! Being in the constant limelight and in front of the camera throughout young adult years can be traumatizing for one’s body image. And on top of that, people feel entitled to comment on celebrities, their appearance, and personal lives and scrutinize every single detail. Naturally, through human tendency, one is bound to feel insecure and would want to better themselves in any way possible. Heidi Montag, the reality star who rose to popularity in the late 2000s, succumbed to the pressures of the spotlight and took an extreme step toward transformation. Sometime in 2009, Heidi…
An enemy’s enemy is a friend. What about an enemy’s friend who accidentally helps you instead? Oh, to be wrapped in a paradox! Mr. Piers Morgan, fiercely known as the conservative political journalist and broadcaster, wears his heart on his sleeves and tongue in his cheek. Morgan first got his big break at the tabloid news, The Sun. Under Rupert Murdoch’s wings, the journalist quickly soared in the journalism world with hard-hitting commentary and no bullsh*t opinions. He may ride on fallacies, but people still subscribed to his outlook. The 58-year-old TV personality continues to remain relevant even after 35…
According to the 2021 statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 37 people die every day due to driving while intoxicated; that is one person being victim to alcohol every 39 minutes. A total of 13,384 succumbed to alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths, which is a spike of 14% from 2020. The severity of these cases has raised grave concerns since it not only affects the driver but also the innocent lives claimed in the accident. And who better than news channels to have a better grasp of this potent danger? But the following case is an irony…
Settling down and living an everyday life in a foreign country as an immigrant is challenging. Now imagine not only living but also thriving as a famous personality despite being an immigrant. That’s the story for today. Tila Tequila is a name synonymous with Asian fetish in the 2000s. She shot to fame on MySpace as one of the earliest influencers. But fame is like an energy; it can neither be created nor destroyed, just moving into obscurity. Ms. Tila’s journey spiraled down from being the most sought-after face to being deemed as a deranged woman on the internet. Tila…
One companion is enough to encapsulate the whole world in…. And this couple proves that they can travel the world with just each other’s company. Eamon and Bec are a Toronto couple who literally left behind materialistic city life in their minivan and never looked back. The partners launched their YouTube channel’ Eamon and Bec’ in 2014, and they have since documented their journey of being minimal millennials, explored various places, and vlogged their unique experiences in the wilderness and living in a van. As a viewer, I was totally hooked on their series, binging on how they would give…
The bootleg version of the Facebook feud, the Full Send Podcast, is just another case of “bros before ho*s” turning into “Mo Money Mo Broblems.” The NELK boys have established themselves in the YouTube Prank-ternity as the OG community of pranks and social experiments. Even though the community has faded this decade, the NELK boys continue to be relevant in the YouTube realm. One of the primary reasons why the decade-long YouTube channel has still sustained the “Too Old For Gen-Z” phase is because of their equally successful podcast, “Full Send.” Founded by Kyle Forgeard, the NELK YouTube channel with…
YG Entertainment– the home to hip-hop, rappers, dancers, and countless list of other talents that make the clan stand out in the ocean of K-Pop. When BIGBANG debuted under Yang Hyun Suk, the CEO, the Korean music industry went under a drastic shift. For the first time in many years, a boy band showed what being an idol is about beyond the slave contracts and expressing their individuality without inhibitions. As BIGBANG’s popularity sky-rocketed, YG launched a girl group, 2NE1, that was equally formidable and captured the true essence of womanhood. As the two groups reigned over the second generation,…
Amidst the ongoing presidential election campaigns and nail-biting debates of candidates howling at each other, the jokes write themselves. This season is like the ultimate playoffs for all the political and satirical talk show hosts. From Jon Oliver to Seth Myers, the ratings are skyrocketing as they cover the current campaigns in America. One such show that has garnered considerable viewership is the ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert,’ which has challenged all the edges and then walked off it with its ingenious comic take on current events. The relatively new talk show, which premiered in 2015, quickly became one of…
“It’s just a theory” can have severe connotations if the subtext is as volatile as a literal war. Any unsubstantiated claim, observation, or opinion masked as a theory can imply the most radical stance. What makes a theory even more problematic is when it is based on a conspiracy. When millions of lives are hanging by a loose thread, and others are taken hostages, a rogue theory, misinformed statement, or accusations can trigger a domino effect. Only in this case are the dominoes replaced by innocent lives. The following case demonstrates how propagating opinions as facts can land you in…
South Korea’s stern drug laws considerably reduced substance abuse during the mid-90s, but at the same time, it also incentivized an illegal drug ring throughout the nation. Obtaining drugs became a million-dollar market in itself with the rise of dealers and middlemen. If that wasn’t enough, the elite crowd is flying overseas just to get some of that sugar. Although several countries have loosened their grip on recreational drugs, South Korea has maintained a uniform law on all drugs. Thus, drug usage is a massive stigma among Koreans. Yoo Ah In, a prominent Korean actor, was arrested for substance abuse.…
