10 Things to Expect from the First Presidential Debate

Tonight is the night. Former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton squares off against Donald J. Trump in what should be the shit-show of the century. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I would just be tuning in for the mere entertainment if it weren't for the fact I actually felt the need to vote for one of them. Yes, yes, I know. I'm voting for one of the major party candidates (more accurately, I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton). As an avid Bernie supporter, I agree with him when he said in the MSNBC interview that Donald Trump as president would be a disaster, and my vote means too much to be given to anyone other than Trump's biggest contestant: Hillary Rodham Clinton. So here's a few things that I can bet will happen tonight during the debate.

1. Trump will continuously refer to HRC as "Crooked Hillary"

(we already know this will happen because of the snapchat filter which Trump probably paid a fuck-ton for just to be a sliding option for every snapchat user)

2. Hillary Clinton will say something that will be referred to as a "clap-back".

It will go viral on twitter because it'll be tweeted by a white-feminist celebrity like Lena Dunham or Cher.

3. Hillary Clinton will refer to something in pop culture. Donald Trump may or may not come at her for this.

(see past references, like "May The Force Be With You" at the end of Democratic Debate in December of 2015.)

4. Donald Trump will be sexist. The adamantly anti-Hillary will applaud and deny any traces of sexism and call it politics.

5. Drinking games will ensue, with prompts like, "Drink every time Donald Trump lies and it comes up on Politifact".

6. Politifact will gain a few thousand followers just during the first few moments of the debate.


7. Some people playing aforementioned debate drinking game will end up in the hospital due to over-consumption of alcohol and/or what being blackout drunk might make you do while listening to Donald Trump's horrible voice drone on.

8. Someone behind a Trump supporter will give the most glorious stink-eye on camera.

9. Hillary will "win the debate", and it'll be said so on news networks Tuesday morning.

10. Donald Trump will claim he won the debate regardless of what news networks and twitter polls have to say.

He will then claim that the questions were unfair to him and use that as leverage in his campaign of outsiders to the political system.

Believe me, I'm as anxious for this debate as the rest of you. So tune in to CNN to see if I'm right, or to pray that I'm wrong. Either way, I'll follow this up on twitter and I will be live tweeting the debate. @radelhuley. See you there.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
