"Rent" Shouts Love at North Shore Music Theatre
There’s no day but today. North Shore Music Theatre opens its stage to RENT, a rock musical by the late Jonathan Larson. Set in 1980s New York City, a group of struggling artists grapple with money, addiction, and the HIV/AIDS crisis. While experiencing turmoil, they never lose hope for love, passions, and themselves.

Jimmy Kimmel Is Back!
I am so glad ABC has reversed its decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late night show. I understand that it was probably more of a business decision for them because in less than a week after Kimmel's suspension, ABC/Disney lost billions of dollars in stock sell-off (I sold my DIS shares right away) and Disney+ and Hulu subscription cancellations. It truly became a movement, and the very obvious loss of business must have outweighed the benefits of the potential merger approval by FCC.

Reform UK, Nigel Farage, and the Battle Over ILR
In the turbulent landscape of British politics, few figures are as influential or divisive as Nigel Farage. As the honorary president and driving force behind Reform UK, he has once again thrust immigration to the forefront of the national conversation. A key point of contention in this debate is the future of policies like Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), a status that Reform UK has pledged to overhaul as part of its core platform. For migrants and political observers alike, understanding this proposed shift is critical.

Welcome to Night Vale: A Love Letter to Community Radio and Cosmic Horror
There's something magical about stumbling onto the perfect piece of media at exactly the right moment in your life. For me, that happened in college when my friend Liz introduced me to a little podcast called Welcome to Night Vale. What started as a curious listen became an obsession that has lasted years, spanning not just the original podcast but an entire universe of novels that have only deepened my appreciation for this wonderfully weird corner of fiction.

The Rise of the Everyday Geek
M Mehran There’s a moment in everyone’s life when they feel out of place. Maybe it’s sitting alone at lunch with a book nobody else cares about. Maybe it’s getting laughed at for talking too much about dinosaurs, space travel, or video games. For geeks, that moment isn’t just once—it’s a pattern.

The Architects of Tomorrow
M Mehran For as long as humanity has existed, there have been people who saw the world differently. They weren’t always the strongest, the loudest, or the most popular—but they were the curious ones, the question-askers, the dreamers who couldn’t rest until they figured out how something worked. Today, we call them geeks.

The Quiet Power of Geeks
M Mehran The word geek used to be a label whispered in hallways, tossed like an insult across classrooms, and scribbled in notebooks beside doodles of glasses and calculators. But somewhere along the way, the world shifted. What was once a word meant to exclude has become a badge of honor, a quiet declaration of passion, curiosity, and a refusal to apologize for loving what others might not understand.

Explaining My Thoughts and Concerns for the Upcoming 51st Season of "Saturday Night Live"
I've known about Saturday Night Live since I was a kid, and it wasn't until my early teens that I started watching on NBC. By then, the known core group wasn't there anymore. People like Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Chris Rock were out of there and doing other things. On a sad note, SNL legends like Chris Farley and Phil Hartman left this world; the latter in the near end of 1997 and the former just five months later.

The Karens Are Coming, The Karens Are Coming
My, oh, my! The following story isn't a surprise to many people. During the 2020 global pandemic, a group of women who harass and falsely accuse others of doing mundane or ordinary things were known as Karens. Fast forward to now, a recent incident at a baseball game and a woman at the center of it is now a Halloween costume. Spirit Halloween is selling it at their stores. It includes a Phillies Jersey, stolen baseball, and bad attitude. Not included: an apology, as it was stated on the package. When you become the butt of all jokes and go viral, chances are a Halloween costume will be made and sold to thousands, even millions of people. Many of you already know the story about the woman I'm about to discuss, but just in case you haven't, here it is.

Simpsons Review: "Who Shot Mr. Burns?"
Doesn't seem like it's been 30 years, hasn't it? I remember this like it was yesterday. So the episode starts off... somewhat innocently. The class hamster, named Superdude, sadly passes on. Groundskeeper Willie buries the hamster, while venting about his father's burial, but all of a sudden, Willie inadvertently digs up some gold. Black gold. Texas tea.

Luigi Mangione
Luigi Mangione: The Enduring Fascination with a Shadowy Figure In the vast landscape of organized crime history, certain names resonate with a particular, almost mythical, infamy. One such name is Luigi Mangione. While not as universally recognized as Al Capone or John Gotti, Mangione's story is a compelling chapter in the annals of American crime, a tale that continues to spark curiosity and occasional Luigi Mangione news cycles decades later.
