Because the sun reaches the city and rural areas the same way, t

Katseye’s Hootie Frutti is more than a $20 smoothie
Art by Rio Fisher Katseye’s newest single Hootie Frutti has been the subject of a lot of criticism regarding its strikingly chosen lyrics and unique music video, however, I would say that it is their best piece to date. As the third single from their EP Wild, Katseye’s highly socially aware management has produced a one-of-a-kind Marxist commentary on conflict theory. All their decisions, from the lyrics to the product placement, carefully create a social commentary on late-s

Image Credit: Zadie Kang Enes Kanter wore a shirt with the dictionary definition of “woman” to a WNBA game claiming to be “protecting women and girls.” Sydney Sweeney wore two footballs over her breasts while advertising a sports gambling platform.
