20+ hour, 27+ min ago (793+ words) Plus, four easy ways to give yourself a glow-down before the end of this year SHOULD I buy silver or gold jewellery? That's a question millions of us have asked ourselves at least once in our lifetime. While no one should feel they can only wear what's deemed to "suit' them, there is no denying that some metals can look more flattering than others on certain skin tones.

The situation with Ebro Darden is getting deeper by the day.All of this broke yeterday, but I figure I would let it marinate a bit. Ebro is clearly not done talking. In fact, he just delivered a heavy message on YouTube that points straight at Trump, MAGA politics and powerful players in New York. He says they have been trying to move him out of the way for years. They have taken the whole thing off the site already'that's an act of malice. So, if you want to see it, here it is: Then he explained that the signs were there long before the final HOT 97 broadcast. According to him, "Told y'all a couple of weeks…...

2+ day, 23+ hour ago (610+ words) AI's got nothing on good quality dumb entertainment'and only people can make that "The Ultimatum: Queer Love," Labubu, JoJo Siwa and Michell Yeoh made some of the best lowbrow culture of the year. Credit: Mel Woods/Xtra In 2025, the slop got worse." And while this surge in slop is demoralizing for a host of reasons (see: the collapse of truth, the environment impacts, the impact on workers, the sheer shittiness of it all), it also sucks because it distracts from the fine art of human-made'or could I even say human-crafted'slop." To go out on a limb and be so brave, I think slop's been given a bad name by the rise of AI. "Slop" has become widely used to describe the low-quality, mass-produced AI content currently flooding the internet. But for the sake of culture'and queer culture specifically'we must reclaim…...

3+ day, 12+ hour ago (381+ words) "If you want a film that confirms your beliefs, 'Torn' isn't it," writes executive producer Jane Rosenthal of the documentary focusing on the battle over posters of Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas. It began with paper. Days after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks " as war erupted in Gaza and a humanitarian crisis deepened " posters appeared across New York. Faces of 251 people kidnapped from Israel. Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Jews. Children and grandparents. All taken. At the top, one word in red: KIDNAPPED.

What began as a grassroots call for awareness turned into a symbolic battleground. It exposed just how fragile our ability to coexist has become. People didn't just react to the…...
