12 Highlights From Canada's #TellAmericaItsGreat Campaign

If you haven't noticed, with less than a month left until the Presidential Election (and other important political elections), it's gotten a little stressful to be on social media. All sorts of people on Facebook and Twitter are actively trying to tell you exactly what to think, new outlets are hyperfocused on both candidates, and in general everyone is ready for November 8th to come and go. I think the whole world is too. Lucky for us, we seem to have some pretty cool neighbors to our north - Canada has launched the #TellAmericaItsGreat initiatve to encourage us Americans during the trial that is election season. This incredible movement was started by this video from The Garden North America:

The video's hashtag caused a movement on Twitter of support and encouragement radiating from our friendly Canadian neighbors. They've emphasized many amazing pieces of American history and current day pop culture. Here are some of the highlights of their fantastic movement:

1. Science Fiction series...

Needless to say, we're a bit loved by our northern neighbors. From our natural landscapes to our incredible people to our taste in music and medical advances - Canada sees a lot to love about America. We were all a little misty eyed reading their compliments. If you want to see more of their amazing compliments, check out @staygr8america on Twitter! They also have a website that you can find here! I guess that all we have left to say is #TellCanadaThankYou!

When you realize Canada is the Samwise Gamgee to our Frodo Baggins. 😭💙#TellAmericaItsGreat #TellCanadaThankYou pic.twitter.com/lO2U530kec

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

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.
