To help us cope with the insanity of the present, we need Christmas movies, nostalgia, brain candy, and pop culture to help us make it through.
I will be posting more about all these things in the days ahead. We need some aid and comfort in these days.
Granted, we can’t bury our heads in the sand, but we need diversion.
Taylor Swift is a wildly successful musical artist, and Travis Kelce is a very successful football player. Rumor has it they are a couple, which is so storybook. Sounds like Taylor could have written a song about that.
She shows up to support him at his games; not everyone likes that. I think that is ridiculous. It’s great to see couples like that. They are clearly fond of one another and want to celebrate successes and failures that come along the way.
Not everyone likes that she is so present at his games. People say horrible things about her, and that is stupid. Her success triggers some people, and their new relationship is being tested by some people who are not kind and hate how successful she is. There is a vile amount of misogyny going on here, and that is just not right.
I wish them nothing but happiness. Am I a “Swiftie”? No. But she is a cultural phenom like Elvis, The Beatles and Michael Jackson. She sells out stadiums like the one Travis Kelce plays in. I like her music. She is a champion, just like the Kansas City Chiefs.
I just hate seeing two people who are about doing good things and making people happy be trashed. They didn’t ask for it. So far, they are setting an example for the young girls that are her biggest fans. To conclude, I hope they will find peace, success, and happiness. We could all use that in this world today.
So, do you have one of these Stanley Tumbler things? These are all the rage right now. Stores can’t keep them on the shelves, just ask Target.
Everyone must be thirsty so they need something huge to carry around to provide them more than adequate hydration. They even sell accessories such as a purse for these things. It’s just the latest in pop culture and merch.
My sister got us a dupe which seems to do the job just fine. I remember when everyone just got water out of a fountain. Those were the days.
Festivus is a secular holiday, normally celebrated on December 23rd. It is mainly meant as an alternative to the pressures and commercializtion of the Christmas season. However, it has also become a day to celebrate the ever-lasting comedy of the 1990s television show Seinfeld.
Enjoy this secular high-holy day.
From The BBC – World renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. He died peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said. The British scientist was famed for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.
Stephen Hawking was a brilliant human being who devoted his life to physics and making the world a more informed and enlightened place. His work has influenced not only science but culture as well. He appeared in pop culture in the TV shows The Big Bang Theory, Red Dwarf and The Simpsons. Both Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch portrayed him in movies based on his life. He leaves behind three children. Thank you Stephen for what you did to make our world better and to expand our understanding of the universe that surrounds each of us. Rest in power.
I love Pop Tarts. My favorite is the strawberry kind. You are never too old to eat them. They are a part of a complete breakfast.
