Live streaming is the closest to forming virtual parasocial relationships, where people feel connected to an entity they do not have many details about. Hence, these interactions are more fascinating, considering feeling attached to the person’s experiences while being detached from the person. Just during the third quarter of 2022, over 7.2 billion hours of content was consumed on top streaming portals. Still, the stats are not an indication of whether this is a healthy parasocial relationship. Moreover, the obsession and addiction to likes and engagement have prompted a handful of content creators to go to extreme lengths, including murder,…
It’s true that all of us have 24 hours a day, but BTS is a special breed that lives at least five times a day. Jam-packed schedules, disciplined practices, international affairs, traveling along the globe, promotional events, and with all that, still making amazing music is a BTS-specific prowess. The unprecedented kings are now also managing their individual schedules after the older members have already enlisted in mandatory military service.

Ever since WhatsApp became the source of news, this generation has been doomed. TikTok has already gained the reputation of being a digital obituary of undead people. Every other day, a new famous personality is killed off (fictionally), and people mourn the undead with heaps of messages. This troll news spread like wildfire, and people don’t bother even to fact-check. Sometimes, the misinformation becomes a trend. It’s also a famous TikTok trend where people play pranks on their families, pretending that their favorite celebrity has died, and then record their reactions. And now the internet seems to be getting cocky…
R. Kelly’s exposé was a monumental milestone for victims to get justice since the music industry is notorious for shielding the cash-grab stars so that their pockets remain healthy. The traction of the #MeToo movement was like pest control, forcing all the vile vermins out of hiding. Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby, and Kevin Spacey were among the massive names emerging out of some of the most heinous sexual assaults, often involving minors and late teens. Even though a few names suffered the consequences years after their crimes, most names are still lurking in the shadows, backed by massive support from…
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones at others, especially if they come with “receipts” of the damages done.

It all started with one entanglement– Jada Pinkett Smith’s affair with R&B singer August Alsina. The exposé opened a can of worms that none of us asked for. The intimate Red Table Talk with the couple turned into a global toxic discourse of emancipation, simping, and manipulating women. Then came the most shameful episode in the history of the Academy Awards. For the first time, someone slapped their own career into a grave. Will Smith’s outburst was a projection of his own dwindling marriage. Cut to the present, we discover that the couple have been separated since 2016 for seven…
Getting drafted into the NBA is in itself a royal flush, considering the slim chance of making it after college. Per the NCAA study of April 2020– Given how fortunate this opportunity is, you would think that the athletes would pledge honor, dignity, ethics, and the spirit of the game. And don’t get me wrong, the majority of the players have contributed to society even after retiring. But still, if there’s a system, there will be people who would find loopholes and exploit their privilege. On November 15, 2023, the New York Jury convicted ex-Boston Celtics Forward Glen “Big Baby”…
“For You, A Thousand Times Over…” This is not just a statement; it’s the universal sentiment of true friendship! What would you do for your friend? The following case illustrates how pure a bond is that is not bounded by blood but by promises to be there for each other.

The incident occurred in an alley behind Rancho High School in Las Vegas on November 1, 2023. Lewis interjected when his friend, who was robbed…
Selling Sunset is the best reality TV series… fight me! This show is an accurate representation of what is contained in a woman— a working woman, a boss mother, a reliable partner, and an entity who can balance emotions and rationality. I have been addicted to the series that also acts as a “self-help Queening boss b*tch” guide to live your true potential and be unapologetically yourself. Remember Glengarry Glenn Ross, a 1992 film about male real estate agents losing their sh*t for 2 hours of run time? Yeah… Selling Sunset completely subverts the notion and shows how level-headed women…
Have you ever worked on commission? But what I could fathom from the structure is that you invest every drop of your blood, sweat, and tears to close a deal. Who would have ever thought the alphabet could get scarier in the sales world, as the ABCs are a mantra of “Always Be Closing.” The pressure of convincing a client, the stress of month-end sales, and maintaining the competency of market research are not for the faint-hearted. Selling Sunset is a practical manifesto of how to read people, use it to your advantage, and be the master of your fate.…

However, sometimes one needs to fall to rise like a phoenix. C.J. Stroud’s debut failed to earn him validation from peers and experts.

TikTok challenges are usually an amalgamation of pranks, dares, and ludicrous actions to kindle absurdly funny reactions. Some of the past challenges have also resulted in bonding and socializing among strangers. One such entertaining trend was the Grimace Shake TikTok challenge, where people would film themselves exaggeratedly passing out after tasting an exclusive McDonald’s purple drink. However, sometimes, the greed for reactions and engagement can also lead content creators to resort to crossing the line between a challenge and violence. On July 30, 2023, Fox 29 reporter Bob Kelly from Good Day Philadelphia was covering an event at Oar House…
