Share: With ‘Wicked: For Good’ being released in theaters on Nov. 21, many would assume the conversations surrounding the film would be regarding its music, visuals, or acting performances, but most conversations have been negative and unnecessary, talking about the appearances of the lead actresses, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh. Many comments under Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok either have negative comments about their bodies or are concerned for their physical and mental health. On social media, it’s easy to come across videos mocking …

Share: Many photos and videos taken by fans of Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh at the Wicked For Good premiere event in Singapore went viral after their idols’ bones were noticeably sticking out due to a significant change in weight. With such high status in the industry, Grande, Ervio, and Yeoh have been criticized for their appearance since the beginning of their fame. Therefore, they should be okay with these conversations of the fans speaking about their bodies because it is out of …

Share: Gavin Newsom, the 40th Governor of California, has perfected his social media for rage bait against the right. His social media team is doing an excellent job, and hopefully is being paid top dollar for their work and creativity, because it might even be the reason he wins over the new generation and gets the votes in 2028. His X, aka Twitter, is the most active and go-to place to check if you need an update, his Instagram is polished and eye pleasing, and …

Share: The meeting that occurred on Nov. 21st between New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and President Trump showcased the lack of integrity and nonexistent backbone that Trump has, which, of course, many already knew. Before the meeting was conducted, Trump had taken the time to constantly insult Mamdani, his voters, and allude to the idea that he was in the country illegally. Immediately following the meeting, one could believe that Mamdani turned into Trump’s favorite person in the whole world. Trump consistently gave him …

Share: With the Thanksgiving holiday recently happening, students came back from enjoying the holiday with their families with a 2-day break from Pasadena City College. Thanksgiving is a fun, special, and wholesome holiday to gather with loved ones, but is two days off from school enough time spent away from class? Other schools have a longer break for Thanksgiving, but PCC only had Thursday and Friday off. It seems as if community College students were given the short end of the stick when it came …

Share: The outdated narrative suggesting that artists should “keep to themselves” when it comes to politics is being rewritten, and more pop stars need to get with the program. Today, advocating for human rights is an admirable trait that rarely costs musicians their fame anymore. Palestine, ICE raids, transgender rights, and child labor: a few words that anyone in the modern world has heard, and would trigger thoughts of concern or maybe feelings of hopelessness from an inability to make a difference. In today’s political …

Share: Correspondence from the White House or official federal agencies has always read kind of robotically… After all, it’s the government. They’re supposed to be boring. Messaging usually gets straight to the point, is written in an active tone, and almost feels not entirely human-written. Official communications have historically been devoid of emotion because that’s what they should be— an information pipeline to the American people that exists without opinion. The Trump administration has adopted an entirely different approach to public communication. Their messages all …

Share: There have been many changes to our country’s history and presidency, but there has been one constant that has not changed: a male president. There has not been a female President in the history of the United States, but having our first female leader is a possibility in the near future if we get a Republican woman candidate. Michelle Obama sparked conversation in a recent interview, saying she would not become the first female President and that this country is not ready for a …
