In the wake of the newly retired NBA legend, Tim Duncan, San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor declares July 21st as 'Tim Duncan Day' in reflection of the number he has worn since his college days. On this day throughout San Antonio, people can be seen wearing their spurs gear in remembrance of Tim Duncan.

When the Spurs' superstar announced that he would not be returning for another season, local San Antonians felt what seemed like their hearts were being ripped out. Tim Duncan entered the league with San Antonio in the 1997 NBA draft and completed his NBA career with San Antonio with the 2015-2016 season, leaving a big imprint on the city and the fans. He completed his 19-year career with five championships, two league MVP awards, three finals MVP awards, and countless other prestigious honors and awards to his name. He is the greatest power forward to ever play the game and is just one of the greatest players ever.

Timmy was the foundation and leader to the spurs. He wooed the fans that love him dearly with his humility and kind nature. Being the most consistent player to ever step foot on the court leaves the fans and the rest of the NBA wondering, what is next for San Antonio?

Head coach Gregg Popovich, and General Manager, RC Buford, are already underway trying to fill the big shoes Timmy has left behind by signing Pau Gasol to be along side with, already acquired, LaMarcus Aldridge. Furthermore, we are not completely heartbroken over his retirement, but rather just happy it happened.

From fans everywhere, we love you, Tim.

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.

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.
