In Other News: Anything and Everything But The Election

Hey you!

How's it going?

With all the negativity going around, I'd thought I'd remind you of some stuff to look forward too.

Aren't you excited about the holidays coming up? Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means so is Black Friday! Leaked deals include really discounted 4K HDR TVs, iPads, Fitbits to hover boards, video games and more. It looks like Target will have the best deals this year and their ad is already out.

And after you're done Black Friday shopping, the Gilmore Girls revival will be out on Netflix! It's one of the most anticipated Netflix releases this month and they've been leaking teasers left and right, including a slip up that Rory and Dean only share 1 scene. Rory and Jess (and Logan) shippers have an even higher chance of happiness this season.

Award show season is fast approaching too with the American Music Awards on November 20th. Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah are hosting, Twenty One Pilots, Green Day, Chainsmokers, Ariana Grande and more will perform.

Are you planning on watching the "super-moon" Monday night? It's going to be the biggest full moon since 1948, and there won't be another one until 2034. Based on projections, it's going to look huge.

Have you seen the Mannequin Challenge? Participants hold a position as someone walks through the area filming what looks like a freeze frame. They've been getting bigger and more complex. Check out the Michigan men's gymnastics team, Destiny's Child, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Orange High School challenges.

Hairspray Live is coming to Fox on December 7th! The cast is star packed, and if it's anything like Grease Live, you won't want to miss it. Plus, they did a Mannequin Challenge too!

Still need more to watch? There's a ton of movies coming out before the end of the year. Among the best ones to catch this Christmas include The Edge of Seventeen (11/18), Moana (11/23), and Office Christmas Party (12/9). For any Harry Potter and/or Eddie Redmayne fans, Fantastic Beats comes out this week (11/18) and for any Star Wars fans, a spin-off called Rogue One will hit theaters later in December (12/16). Passengers (12/21) is going to be at the top of my hit list; a sci-fi romance with Jennifer Lawrence, you can't find a better combination than that!

And if that's not enough, of course, the Superbowl is only a few months away on Feb 5. Lady Gaga is performing the halftime show, and there will definitely be some awesome commercials.

There's a lot to look forward to, even if I didn't mention it. Don't let any bad news get in your way!

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
