For those who have been unable to get the 1969 Mama Cass hit “Make Your Own Kind Of Music” out of their heads for the past week, it’s either because of the Saturday Night Live Emma Stone sketch from the past weekend‘s episode, or because of the song’s current ubiquity that is quite brilliantly spoofed […]

With Chanukah beginning on Thursday night, it’s time to scrape out the candle wax from those menorahs you made with nuts and bolts back in preschool, dust off your dreidel collection, and start grating potatoes to get those latkes frying (or buy the decent frozen pre-made variety from Trader Joe’s). But after the prayers are […]

Social media is eating up a fan clip of Taylor Swift cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs from the box during the Chiefs-Packers game on Sunday.
