Twitter Hack: Who To Follow For Election Coverage
The Horizon Tracker

This election cycle is unlike any seen before, so even if this isn't your first election you've lived through, you probably need some extra explaining due to the absurd nature of it all. With reality TV-like twists on news stories, some of the media's best journalists can help guide you through it all, with humor when you need it. Whether you're left, right, undecided or don't care, the following personalities and journalists will help you to care and find your way to a decision before you vote next month.

Chuck Todd (@Chucktodd)

The moderator of NBC's 'Meet The Press' has great insights to the election. He retweets some of NBC's best coverage of the election, as well as other non-political news stories. He tries to remain unbiased and shows how hard covering this election can be, with a good sense of humor and perspective.

Brian Stelter (@brianstelter)

The host of CNN's 'Reliable Source's' knows how to utilize Twitter and seems to tweet more than he sleeps. He is more relatable for younger twitter users and retweets some of the best journalists in the field. He also has a Re newsletter that recaps the best news you may not know about from a journalist's perspective.

Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu)

A journalism professor at New York Univeristy, his twitter bio reads, "critique the press," which is exactly what he does. He looks into how the press gives bias too often during this election cycle and how absurd some of the stories are. After the first debate, he has fiercely been showing how "phony" the online polls news sites have been doing are, while they act like they are actual poll numbers.

Nate Silver (@NateSilver538)

Polticial polls are confusing and weird. Some many organizations put out different polls that it can be hard to dicipher the staticitcal information constantly in front of you. Let Nate Silver, editor at FiveThirtyEight guide you through the confusing world of election polls and survery's. You'll be better informed and might actually know what people are talking about after.

Politico (@politico)

This poltical news magazine and website tries to give both sides their equal say. They are also wholly committed to reporting all angles of this election cycle. If you're only going to follow one of these accounts, this is who you should follow. They will make you better informed to make a better decision come November.

Chrissy Teigen (@chrissytiegen)

How can you not love her? The model has been one of the most hilarious celebrity tweeter's since she live-tweeted her journey down the Oscar's red carpet. She says what you're thinking nine times of out ten. Her brutal honesty and sometimes drunken thoughts will give you life during the next debates. She also really wants Clinton to sink to Trumps level.

Andy Cohen (@Andy)

The man behind the 'Real Housewives' treats the debates like the live recap shows. Which makes a lot of sense when you think about it, since its only a matter of time until Trump's toupe gets pulled off and someone knocks the podium down in anger. His comic relifef is needed when your realize how nervous you are for the country's future.

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.
