While preceded by inflatables and followed by fireworks, The Fray’s performance itself was what pumped up and lit up the audience Friday night at Silobration.
After the announcement by the UNEP that the planet will pass the global temperature rising limit set by the Paris Agreement, the internet turned around to declare that we’re all going to die. This mindset results in inaction and self-fulfilling prophecies, instead of actually encouraging people to help save what we can.
Ariana Grande’s body has been the hot topic for the last few months, as it is for most women celebrities, but the commentary isn’t as much focused on her body as it is on her ethics. Her apparent thinness has branded her a victim, a villain, a case to be analyzed, diagnosed, and ridiculed. Cruelty online is rampant; we all know this. But why?
Sydney Sweeney is no stranger when it comes to controversy. From the shows or movies that she has starred in she has raised eyebrows for many, but her latest advertisement is starting to raise questions on whether she went too far.
It seems as though each year the importance of election season grows, with 2026 being no exception.

It leads believers to think that when they struggle that makes them a bad believer, that they “aren’t Christian enough” or don’t “have enough faith.”
“I’m going to Disney World,” is what’s shouted after almost every Super Bowl by the best player on the winning team. Instead, what they should be saying is “I’m going to Disneyland.”
