Crazy things have been going on in the world lately! Scary clowns running rampant in the streets, the U.S. presidential campaign has been a circus, the Harambe meme has yet to die down, bees have become endangered, the Great Barrier Reef is dying, David Bowie and Prince passed away earlier this year, and Apple has removed the headphone jack from the iPhone 7. 2016 has been stressing a lot of people out, so I advise you take a moment to distract yourself from the horrors of this year with these sweet baby animals.

1. Teacup Pomeranian

A pom pom with eyes.

2. Sloth

How's it hangin'?

3. Anteater

How preciously it clings to this person's hand. Anteaters are sure a weird looking animal but they're still adorable in their strange way!

4. Gorilla

What a silly child! Hello!

5. Chameleon

So smol! I'm gonna name this little guy Bagel.

6. Panda

A whole bunch of them all snuggled together in a crib. Are you squealing yet?

7. Octopus

Most people probably don't think of octopi as being cute, but they sure can be. They're also very smart, so good job with that, octopi!

8. Bat

They've even got bat-size sleeping bags.

9. Otter

Enjoy your nap!

10. Snow seal

I aspire to be as happy as this fluffy lump.

11. Owl

Is it even real?

12. Elephant

Oh no, too cute!

13. Leopard

Good things come in small packages!

14. Pig

This little piggy went to the ice cream parlor.

15. Manatee

Don't you just wanna boop it on the nose?

16. Squirrel Monkey

Are your worries gone?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
