Players in the NBA bubble have been curing their boredom by any means necessary: Miami Heat and Champaign, Illinois' very own, Meyers Leonard shared a video of him shotgunning a beer. Jayson Tatum has been playing golf with Boston teammate Kemba Walker and Dallas star, Luka Doncic shared his football skills on Twitter. Basketball fans have been very entertained even though basketball was put on hold.

While many guys in the NBA continue to share short funny clips on Instagram or Twitter, two players are brushing up on their film making skills and is sharing their insightful experiences on YouTube.

Lakers' Center JaVale McGee's YouTube channel has become a must-watch. With over 400,000 subscribers, McGee is taking YouTube's vlogging scene by storm.

In his first episode, McGee took us through his morning routine and team responsibilities prior to the team going to practice and having their first scrimmage. The video also features appearances from basically every Lakers player and head coach Frank Vogel. McGee's latest video which posted only a day ago, already has over 900,000 views. It's pure comedy.

On the other side of the Orlando Disney Resort, Sixers' guard Matisse Thybulle has also picked up a camera during this bubble quarantine. 'Welcome To The Bubble' is Thybulle's docu-series that is very similar to McGee's style and is finding success, amassing just under 300,000 subscribers in one week.

His latest video, 'Episode 4' posted on July, 21 showed the team going for an outing of golfing and going to practice. It currently has over 800,000 views.

Thanks to these two guys sharing their day-to-day lives in the bubble, fans now have a little insight to their world. It's a great way to keep the fans engaged during these trying times especially when the bubble is a highly restrictive environment for the news media. Definitely adding them to my daily watch-list!

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

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.

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.
