26 Reasons to Watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

1. Tina Fey writes it.

Honestly, this is probably the best reason. But there are 25 more just in case you're still hesitant.

2. She's also in it and plays a bad lawyer with a perm.

3. Jane Krakowski is in the show too and basically plays her "30 Rock" character 10 years in the future.

There's actually a Buzzfeed quiz called "Who Said it: Jacqueline From 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' or Jenna from '30 Rock'?" It's really hard.

4. It stars Ellie Kemper as Kimmy Schmidt, a woman who was kept underground for 15 years by a crazy priest. She's essentially a middle schooler living an adult life. Remember Tom Hanks in BIG? It's kind of like that.

5. She seriously has no clue what's going on.

6. Kimmy's friends from the underground apocalypse cult aren't doing much better.

7. Also none of them know how to flirt.

8. The bean curd girl is in love with a gay guy.

9. Jon Hamm plays the crazy priest who formed the cult and it's everything you hoped it would be and more.

10. Titus Andromeda.

Titus is Kimmy's roommate. He is a struggling performer whose dream is to land a role on Broadway. If this show fails (unlikely), Titus will have a spin-off. You can quote me on this.

11. He goes to great lengths to achieve this dream.

12. One time, he made a low-budget version of "The Lion King."

13. Also, he does things like accidentally sing sex songs at Korean funerals.

14. And make music videos in other people's homes.

15. And while we're on the subject... "Pinot Noir" is another excellent reason to watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." What is "Pinot Noir"? It's Titus's pride and joy.

Lyrics to Pinot Noir: "Pinot noir, candy bar. You don't have to be popu-lar, find out who your true friends are. Caviar. Myanmar. Mid-sized car. Pinot noir, you're a star. Listen to Tom Beren-gar."

16. And he completely understands laziness.

He is perfection in human form.

17. This is Xanthippe, Jacqueline's step-daughter. Yeah, you're not gonna know how to pronounce that until you watch it. She's a stone cold b*tch, but in the best, most entertaining way.

18. And her mom envies her.

19. There's also this Vietnamese kid named Dong. America confuses him.

20. Watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" because Kimmy Schmidt is your spirit animal. You just don't know it yet.

21. Watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" to find out what's happening here.

22. And here.

23. And here.

24. And here.

25. And here.

26. And here.Yes, that is a dolphin. No, you are not hallucinating.

Seriously, just watch it.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
