Ode To Kate Mckinnon

Tagg Magazine

My obsession with Kate McKinnon is real. Like, really real. It all started when my sister had me watch one of her Saturday Night Live sketches in which she plays a Russian woman named Olya Povlatsky on the Weekend Update. From that moment on, I was hooked. How hooked? I want to invite her to my sister's wedding, that's how hooked (still working on that, I haven't given up!).But the thing is, I find her underappreciated by all. So, I want to provide you with the information necessary to become obsessed with Kate McKinnon just like me!

Who is Kate McKinnon? -- Why I'm glad you asked! Kate is a born and raised New Yorker (Okay, not NYC but she is from New York state.) She attended (drumroll) Columbia University. Bonafide genius. And the first openly gay female "Saturday Night Live" cast member. AKA she's perfect. Still unsure? Well lucky for you I compiled here some of her best skits.

1. Fitzwilliam: "Big Gay Sketch Show"

Best Quote: "I've only got a few inches but they're making me positively miserable!"

2. Hillary Clinton: "Saturday Night Live" (one of many skits)

Best Quote: "That's cool. You know what else is cool? In two years I'll be 69. You like that? Bill told me to tell that to young males."

3. Justin Bieber: "Saturday Night Live"

Best Quote: "Are my musckles cute?"

4. Ellen DeGeneres: "Ellen DeGeneres"

Best Quote: "Me and my kitty-kitty-kitty cats"

5. Chandelier: "Saturday Night Live"

Best Quote: "What? No! I couldn't possibly. I haven't even seen the music video."

6. Billie Jean King: Saturday Night Live

(watch here)

Best Quote: "I'm President Obama's big, gay middle finger and this bird's about to get flipped."

7. Shud: "Saturday Night Live"

Best Quote: "And uh, here's a picture of my mom on her wedding day. Isn't she gorgeous?"

8. Olya Povlatsky: "Saturday Night Live"

(watch here)

Best Quote: "They try to make me go to rehab and I said "Is it warm?"

9. Close Encounters: "Saturday Night Live"

*Notice how Ryan Gosl-no-one- can keep their shit together.*

Best Quote: "I was full Porky Piggin' it in a drafty dome."

10. "Wishin' Boot," "First Got Horny 2 U," "Back Home Ballers:" Music Videos

No quotes, just know she's the star.

11. "Ghostbusters" -- Coming soon to a theater near you.

If this article hasn't convinced you of Kate's wondrous comedic ability, then you must not have a sense of humor. She's everything young girls should hope to grow up to be. Confident of who they are, not afraid to make fun of themselves, and refreshingly unfiltered. She's not afraid to make the hard calls and bring humor to the most serious of situations. Because in this day and age, we truly need some comedic relief for the tragedies we face.

Go forth and be yourself.

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.
