David Siegel, CEO of the community-building platform Meetup, says my journey reflects trends he’s noticed en masse in Meetup users. In March, Siegel says, when waves of Americans began losing their jobs, the company noticed growth in professional networking groups. (Tech-related groups also saw a boon, because for the most part they had an easier

Oct. 12th, 2020 Kyoto Japan is the manifestation of what many sophisticated travelers think of when seeking out a fascinating travel destination. A rich culture based on thousands of years of traditions, natural beauty, and an endless list of UNESCO and sightseeing wonders. It is, in a word, magical. There is no better way to
Seven months ago, if you told me I would be bumming a cigarette from Sean Penn in a parking lot repurposed from Dodger Stadium for emergency use during a viral pandemic, the two of us surrounded by hundreds of cars full of nervous people afraid their bodies harbored an invisible predator that had attacked over
Angela Friis is a Chicago native, who has been in the arts and entertainment industry for over 30 years, wearing many hats as a makeup artist, casting agent, and PA, she also has appeared on a reality show and has had cameos in various other TV shows. She has modeled and appeared several times in
Amazon’s The Boys just concluded a wild second season of exploding heads, Neo-Nazism, Trump administration satire and political allegory. It’s been eight episodes of deceptively sharp social commentary couched in a B-movie, seedy superhero universe that imagines what our world would look like if heroes existed amongst us. The answer: they’d be products of corporate
Exclusive Resorts Exclusive Resorts, the high end, arguably best known destination club, has been in existence since the early 2000’s. Founded by Brad and Brent Handler, two brothers who shared a vision of a better vacation, with a logical second home alternative after a less-than-ideal leisure experience in Hawaii, realized soon they had a powerful

In the media it’s the same thing: I don’t think we are necessarily objectified or sexualized. It’s always quite the opposite. Ravi was an example of that. I booked the very thing I didn’t want: the asexual nerd, who at one point was testing condoms for the white lead and her straight, white boyfriend so
Trump and Stalin have so many similarities, particularly in matters of media manipulation, but what’s amazing about it is that if someone told Trump, “you’re like Stalin,” his response might be, “Who’s that?” “I get along well with Stalin, the leader of Russia. I have no problem with the leader of Russia. I hear he
There was no way Wednesday’s Vice-Presidential Debate could outshine the top-flight disorder and sloppiness of the marquee match. Donald Trump and Joe Biden limped through twelve histrionic rounds replete with sound and fury signifying something, but their respective sidekicks, Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, are made of different raw materials. They are
On 2009’s “Exhibit C,” his breakthrough and still biggest hit, Jay Electronica writes his young adulthood as a parable––that of a drunk, depressed wanderer who “shines like [he] grew up in a shrine in Peru,” but who sleeps on trains, starving, mad at Okayplayer headlines. The New Orleans-born rapper claimed to be of the spiritual
Still, the subject matter on Savage Mode II wasn’t as big a leap for Freeman as one might think, interludes about the nuances between a snitch and a rat aside. “I read the copy and was like wow, there’s some wisdom in here,” Freeman recalls, explaining that he boiled the monologues down to their core
This is Wait, What?, a column that explains the seemingly incomprehensible. Since President Donald Trump announced that he and the First Lady tested positive for the coronavirus last Friday, several other GOP figures within his orbit have also disclosed that they’ve been infected: Chris Christie, Kayleigh McEnany, Thom Tillis, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and, notably,
Even if Lanez did not shoot Megan, what remains irrefutable is the fact that she was harmed physically and emotionally, and the manner in which he has chosen to address this is callous and careless. Instead of making a public statement, defending Megan and the alleged relationship they had, course-correcting the conversation surrounding the incident,
The Electric-Fiesta team is amping up for an incredible week of COVID-Safe Drive-IN activities, marking a historic moment in 2020’s history. The week-long programming for ‘Electric-Fiesta Week(ender)’ is officially set to take place in San Antonio, Texas from October 28 to November 1, 2020 at the Freeman Coliseum Grounds Lot 1.

RH: Yeah, I remember Wood and I talked about this having the capacity to affect people. So my agent said to read it again. I said, “Who’s directing it?” She said, “Boaz Yakin.” I was like, “What?” Fresh was one of my favorite movies. “The guy who did Fresh is doing this?” I was like,
In the early days of the Trump administration, when things were much simpler, there was so much turmoil surrounding Donald Trump’s erratic behavior and repeated interference with the Russia investigation that Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, briefly floated the idea of secretly recording the president and invoking the 25th Amendment to the United States
It’s October. Surprise! The news that President Donald Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus broke late Thursday night, throwing yet another massive news story into an environment already absolutely saturated with them. And, as with any October surprise, it’s impossible to avoid considering the implications this will have for the Presidential election that is
