Greg Travis, the Council Member from District G, Spends a lot of his time online being a complete right-wing prat and spreading conspiracy theories about wealthy Jews (or at least George Soros) stealing the election. His latest bout of verbal diarrhea is a comment about how major female political figures from the left have either slept their way to the top or only got there through affirmative action. On December 21, he shared a popular meme on his personal Facebook page comparing First Lady Melania Trump and former First Lady Michelle Obama. The picture shows Obama sitting in a chair with he...

Most Christmas albums are a waste of digital recording space used to massacre classics (looking at you Bon Jovi) or awkwardly cash in by gruesomely sewing holiday trappings on otherwise standard band fare (I see you Erasure). Hearts of Animals has done what few other bands have managed to accomplish. They actually wrote a regular album that just happens to be about Christmas, and it is exactly the disaffected scream of despair to top of 2020.

The recent COVID stimulus bill is expected to deliver $600 to Americans. I can just about pay my rent with that because I am married with a child and that adds up to $1,800 for the household.

Taking care of the most vulnerable members of our society is what...

I believe that the stocking is a chance to fully express how much you care for your loved ones in a variety of small ways, and therefore should be approached with deadly (but jolly) seriousness. If you’ve ever seen someone who has never had a customized holiday stocking haul crafted for them react for the first time, you’re missing something magical. I’ve watched grown men break down and cry. Candy is by far the most common thing in American ...

Major Spoiler Ahead for The Mandalorian Season 2 Before we get into the meat of this article, let’s give a paragraph so as to not spoil the season finale of The Mandalorian in online preview texts. Did you know that Alan Dean Foster and other authors who have contributed to Star Wars over the decades are no longer receiving royalties because of Disney? The case is super complicated, but really does boil down to one of the largest companies in the world not being willing to part with a few thousand bucks to the people who more or less kept the franchise going for years when movies and tele...
