The concept of Fake News, as popularized by our ever-repugnant "president" is one that I hold very dear to me. It makes me giggle. The whole concept that there are people out there that cannot grasp/refuse to accept certain things when the blatant truth is being shoved down their throats is just so...amusing/disheartening/hilarious/sad. I don't think the concept of #FakeNews will ever go away now. It's with us to stay. But in case you weren't sure, there is a difference between Real Fake News and D.T.'s "Fake News." Here are a few examples of #RealFakeNews to help you further realize and spot it in the future.

1. Global Warming Is Not Real

This is, and probably always will be, a hot debate. But scientists aren't lying here, kids. Global Climate Change is real, and we are making it work. Denial time should stop now.

2. Hurricane Irma Is/Was a Hoax

LOL Rush Limbaugh: I cut power to my apartment for six days just for giggles... Yeah, okay.

3. The Vegas Shooting Is a Conspiracy

Ah, yes. As the inevitable conspiracy theories following a great tragedy...lovely.

4. Donald Trump Is Doing a Good Job as President

People really like him! I mean we are all going to die, *cue hysterical sobbing* but people really like him! ...

5. The NFL Protests Are an Attack on Masculinity

...right. That's exactly what that's about. Thank you for your brilliance once again, Rush Limbaugh.

6. The California Wildfires Are a Conspiracy

People just can't seem to get enough conspiracy after tragedies...

7. Any and All Fluoride Conspiracies

Because these seem to be good to bring up now and again, just to remind you how crazy people can be with their #FakeNews.

8. And, While We Are at It: The Vaccine Resistance Movement

They just won't quit!

9. Twitter is Anti-Pro-Life

Yes, right. Okay then. Maybe the Trump Administration and their groupies will boycott Twitter now? *crosses fingers*

10.Donald Trump Is Actually Helping Puerto Rico (It's Just the Puerto Rican People's Fault)

...right.

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.

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.
