Lady Gaga -
Earlier, I said I would discuss why Lady Gaga's performance to open the Super Bowl LIX was so significant to me. It, just like Kendrick's performance, came in layers that are personal and yet apply to everyone else in the collective just as much as they do me.

The Life of Sculptor Tim Holmes
By Brian D'Ambrosio Sculptor Tim Holmes’ overarching body of work can be interpreted as a testament to his passion. Art is so demanding, and can be so thankless, that the only people who do it for as long as Holmes has are those who cannot imagine feeling fulfilled any other way.

WHAT IS 'DIGITAL DETOX'
The term ‘Digital Detox’ means taking a break from using any digital or electronic devices for a certain period of time from a few days to several months.These devices generally include portable handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets as well as computers,laptops and even televisions. A ‘Digital Detox' is primarily done to avoid being addicted or obsessed with digital devices and mentally relaxed by taking some time to enjoy the physical or real world. This enables maintaining a healthy balance between normal life and the time a person spends using such electronic devices. A subset of a digital detox is a social media detox,in which an individual voluntarily keeps off of social media platforms. Motivations for performing only a subset of a digital detox could be attributed to the total time spent on social media platforms and the related psychological effects. The biggest motivators for embarking on a digital detox holiday include mindfulness, technostress, relaxation, and self-expression. A 2015 survey conducted by Deloitte found that around 59% of smartphone users check a social media platform in the five minutes prior to going to bed, and within 30 minutes of waking up. Finally, the idea of a digital detox is to disconnect from the online world to focus more on the present moment without distractions.

Michael Joseph Jackson
Early Beginnings: A Star Is Born in Gary, Indiana Michael Joseph Jackson entered the world on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, as the seventh of ten children in a working-class family. His father, Joseph Jackson, a steelworker and part-time musician, recognized talent in his kids early on. By age five, Michael was singing alongside his brothers in their living room, rehearsing relentlessly under Joseph’s strict guidance. The family’s tiny home was filled with music, but also tension—Joseph’s demanding discipline would later cast a shadow over Michael’s memories of childhood. Yet, it was this very pressure that forged the Jackson 5, a group that would soon captivate the world.

April 12, 1863
As I sit beneath the flickering glow of this modest candle, the weight of longing settles heavily upon my heart. The war rages on, relentless and unyielding, yet it is not the boom of the cannons nor the clash of steel that troubles me most—it is the unbearable distance between us.
