The Story of the Met Gala
Once a modest fundraising event in the heart of New York, the Met Gala has transformed into the most anticipated and extravagant night in the global fashion calendar. With celebrities, designers, and cultural icons converging in a single spectacle of art and fashion, the Met Gala is more than just a red carpet—it's a stage where history, identity, and creativity collide.

The Last of Us Season 2
The structure of the last episode was a little rough. And though they clearly attempted to balance the emotional personal story with the world building they failed at it pretty hard. None of the emotional notes are hitting this season and that is due to the writers clearly not understanding their own story. They have no idea what the theme of the season is. All they have is vague, underdeveloped concepts. The structure currently feels like a rough draft, a first sweep. I can practically see the notecards and the corkboard. But here I am, struggling through the season so that I can give an honest review, so I guess we’re watching season 2, episode 4 of The Last of Us.

The Last of Us Season 2
Well Joel died and my investment in this series went down about 99%, not because he died but because the way he died was executed terribly. I still feel nothing for Abby, not hatred, not anything. She simply isn’t a character yet and quite honestly it is too late to make her one. It doesn’t matter how they tell the rest of this story they have already fucked up the catalyst to it's existence and therefore there is really no way to come back. But we will finish the season for no other reason than journalistic integrity, so here we go with season 2, episode 3 of The Last of Us.

What Message Doctor Who can give the world
Ah, the world of Doctor Who. An outsider would be completely clueless to what the show is about. It looks like a bunch of weird strange happenings. Which it is. The show itself is weird, sometimes confusing, however heart felt. I couldn't tell you the amount of times that I have cried to this show. However, I wanted to speak about a message at the end of Peter Capaldi's run as the Doctor. We need more of this reminder out in the world, especially with the way the United States is going.

What Real Pirates Wore vs. What Hollywood Got Wrong
Let’s be honest—Hollywood gave us some iconic pirate looks. Jack Sparrow’s kohl-lined eyes, oversized hats, and trinket-loaded braids? Chef’s kiss for drama. But if we’re talking facts, real-life pirates were more rugged survivalists than runway-ready rebels.
