We live in a culture that glorifies business. A culture that says a packed schedule makes you successful. However, taking time to slow down and do nothing is not only OK — it’s necessary.

And guess what? You don’t have to defend Kanye with your dying breath, because he doesn’t know you exist. Stop rewatching the proposal in the rain scene from the 2005 “Pride and Prejudice” movie, and go outside.

Did you see “The Marvels” in theaters last November? Yeah, me neither. Marvel Studios used to be a titan of the entertainment industry, but lately, fans have only let out a sigh at each and every trailer. So, what happened?

We normally see celebrities doing what they’re good at — athleticism, acting, etc. Watching these celebrities on the dance floor is so captivating as we’re able to put ourselves in their shoes.

With the premiere of “Dancing With The Stars” on Sept. 17, fans of the show made “Anna Delvey’s Lackluster DWTS Debut” viral on X. They weren’t impressed, and neither were we. Why should a criminal fighting deportation from ICE be allowed to perform alongside Olympians and the newest Bachelorette?
