The social media reaction to the Giant’s recent week has been a study in extremes. After they crumbled against the Saints, turning the ball over five times, including three fumbles, and falling apart after leading, fans erupted in frustration. Many blamed sloppy execution, poor decision-making, and questioned whether the team’s leadership was to blame. Others seized on a controversial roughing-the-passer call late in the Saints game, labeling it “ridiculous” and “inexplicable,” and arguing that officiating had unfairly cost New York momentum. Amid the tears and criticism, some even floated the idea that the Giants might be subtly “tanking” games to improve their draft positioning, pointing to moments they believed looked fishy. Then the fan fell, after thumping the Eagles in decisive fashion, social media changed tone basically overnight. Giants supporters basked in memes and trash talk. Even the social media staff at New York posted an "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" insult targeting the Eagles. Some players further fanned the flames, with Kayvon Thibodeaux notoriously saying "F--k them Eagles" in real-time, prompting more backlash over decorum and sportsmanship. Meanwhile, Philadelphia's strategy critics cited the excessive usage of the "tush push" play, specifically after running it no less than four consecutive times, alleging it “devalued” the win and stoked the passion in the rivalry. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link REVIEW - A Hero's Journey with a Twist Rick Riordian’s Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is a book that gets your attention within the first chapter, and it doesn’t let go. Rick Riordian’s Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is a book that gets your attention within the first chapter, and it doesn’t let go. It’s action packed, funny, and it also has a great meaning behind it. The book starts off with a fantasy adventure about a young boy who finds out that he is a demigod, he is the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. But with a closer look past all of the quests and Greek mythology, it is a story about friendship and finding out where you fit in through all of the chaos. The story begins when Percy is blamed for stealing Zeus's lightning bolt. To clear his name and prevent a war between gods, he goes on a long, major quest across the country with his friends Annabeth and Grover. On the journey, they face huge monsters, back-stabbings, traps that seem unreal, but Riordian makes them better by mixing old Greek mythology with modern-day America. Seeing the gods and monsters in places like Las Vegas is part of what makes the book so unique and fun. What really makes this book stand out is the voice of Percy Jackson. He is relatable and imperfect, which makes his courage feel real. He is not just some chosen one who you would think he’d always know what to do, he is a kid who is figuring out things as things go on, which makes his wins even more satisfying. The book has a lot of heartwarming moments about family, especially Percy’s rough relationship with his mother and the new “family” he built with his friends. If you are into action and mythology, with a hint of humor, Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief is the book for you. It is a book that is just as fun for adults and kids who love a good Greek mythology adventure. It is the first step in a much farther journey. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Meet Dr. Birdsong Samuel Kanidy Sep 9, 2024 Meet LMHS Choir Director and Piano Teacher, Dr. Birdsong! Dr. Birdsong is the director of the choir and the piano teacher at Liberty Magnet High School. Her interest for choir and piano is one very ingrained in who she is, all her degrees being music-based. Her favorite part of her job is the opportunity to teach many students over the years and also learn many things from the job itself. She feels that “It's a really fulfilling thing for me to do”. She especially enjoys seeing the satisfaction on her students' faces when they finally succeed on a piece of music, “It lets me know that they are learning something and that they are continuing to excel at that.” Future events and activities she wants to implement again for her classes are the winter arts programs, talent shows, school tour, etc. For the school tour, the choir was able to go to elementary schools and perform for them. Opportunities like these help scholars develop confidence in themselves, or in Dr. Birdsong’s words, “The more opportunities you get to perform the better your chances of wanting to get out of your comfort zone and perform, you know for the school's activities in general like the talents shows.” When asked about her opinion on the rise or fall in the interest of art she says, “I think that the fine arts department although, we are very big on promoting our department, we want to make sure that there is a lot of support as well. I'm thankful to be in this situation where at my school, there is more of an interest in the arts.” Furthermore, she states, “...the more they see us, the more that they see band, the more that they see the dance department, the more that they see our art department, the more they see of the theater department, and the more that they see us the choir department and piano, the word gets out that these are classes that you not only learn a lot in but you can also have fun as well.” From the dawn of time, art has been well established in the hearts of man. At every stage of humanity, from the stone age to the renaissance, art has been crucial to civilization and society. Which makes it even better to have wonderful teachers like Dr. Birdsong continue the long tradition of art, culture, and music. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link REVIEW - Tyler Perry's A Madea Homecoming Truly a family matter. Tyler Perry’s latest Madea movie follows a clear formula. You get loud comedy, family conflict and direct life lessons. The story centers on a family event that turns tense quickly. Arguments grow. Secrets surface. And Madea steps in and takes control. The plot moves at a steady pace. Scenes shift quickly between jokes and serious conversations. You do not wait long for conflict. Early in the film, the family faces financial problems and relationship strain. Perry keeps the stakes personal, focusing on marriage, trust and responsibility. Madea drives the film. She confronts younger relatives with blunt advice. She calls out poor choices without hesitation. She forces hard conversations at the dinner table and in private rooms. Her humor lands through timing and delivery. Many jokes rely on exaggeration and shock value. If you enjoy direct, unfiltered comedy, you will likely respond well. The film runs close to two hours and keeps most scenes inside one main location. This keeps the focus on dialogue. Characters explain their feelings in clear terms. You always know what the conflict is and what lesson the story is pushing. Perry does not rely on subtle hints. He states the message directly through arguments and speeches. Themes center on accountability. When a character lies, damage follows quickly. When someone avoids a situation, tension rises in the household. Madea pressures each person to admit fault. The resolution comes through confession and apology. The message stays consistent from start to finish: Face your problems early and speak the truth. The film targets a loyal audience. Previous Madea releases have drawn strong streaming numbers. Tyler Perry’s A Madea Homecoming reached Netflix’s global Top 10 during its release window. This data shows steady demand for the character. Perry understands his viewers and delivers what they expect. If you choose to watch this movie, set your expectations around dialogue-driven storytelling and bold humor. Do not expect stylistic risk or complex structure. Expect a familiar rhythm: conflict, confrontation and resolution. The film stays consistent with the franchise’s identity. You know what you will receive early on, and the movie follows through on that promise. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION: Liberty Seniors Should be Able to Have Half Days Isabelle Kennedy Feb 24, 2025 Before you say it - yes, I know that magnet schools do not allow half days for seniors, but Liberty should. Before you say it - yes, I know that magnet schools do not allow half days for seniors, but Liberty should. The school has a very unique campus that imitates a college campus. This style puts a lot of trust in the students and allows them to have a taste of the freedom high school graduates feel in college. If the school is willing to put trust in students with such a campus and layout, they should allow them to have the opportunity to choose to have a half day as a senior. Many students already have most of their credits to graduate after working hard their whole high school career. For example, I only need 3 credits, an English, Science, and History to graduate, but I am required to fill my schedule. Because of this I am more stressed and am taking classes that are unnecessary. This can be very frustrating for Seniors who have put a lot of effort in past years to be getting as many credits as possible and are now ahead of the game. With Liberty Magnet High being one of the better schools in the area, many people flock to this school for opportunity and a better environment than other schools rather than because of its magnet status. So, many who attend Liberty do not care whether they graduate with the Magnet status or not. In theory, I think students should be able to choose to opt out of graduating with magnet status if that gives them the option to only attend half days. Additionally, many seniors are getting more financial responsibilities from their parents and even saving to move out. They should have the option to only take their required courses to graduate so they are able to pick up more hours at their jobs and work towards taking on more adult responsibilities. These are just some of the reasons why Liberty should allow students to opt for half days. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION: The Oscars are Becoming a Big Fat Joke Ellis Turner Mar 7, 2025 Recently, it seems as though our favorite programs are leaning in the wrong direction. Recently, it seems as though our favorite programs are leaning in the wrong direction. Remember the Grammys? The Academy Awards were no different. The article I dove into pieced a very strong opinion against the Academy Awards. Jenna Jeff, author of ‘ The Oscars Are a Joke, and We Let It Happen’, had a lot to say about recent Oscar winners. In her opening, Jeff criticizes the film ‘Anora’. The movie won the award for “best picture” and “best actress”. Jeff claims that this film is the beginning of the end. The Oscars are searching for more controversy than art nowadays. The films that will continue to win will be provocative and uncomfortable, such as ‘Anora’. Hollywood, in attempts to be edgy, is losing its edge in this ironic and unfortunate twist. We should expect to see small, indie films winning Oscars rather than their experienced and well-thought-out counterparts, according to Jeff. While her opinion on the topic is very definitive, there are some points to consider. I do believe that the Academy Awards and other major programs are losing their credits in the arts world. Recently, these award programs have been a fight for controversy and popularity rather than storytelling and art. I mean, just look at the outrage the Grammys caused. Unfortunately, I do see a trend rising up. As a society, we are shifting away from quality and more towards unpredictability. I believe that we as a collective are searching for the next “this hasn’t been done before!” Change is a good thing and it’s inevitable but should we fix what isn’t broken? These recent films have been in a bid for causing the most discomfort to its viewers rather than anything else. I hope that this year's films will give us movie lovers quality and creativity, such as ‘Wicked’ (which only received two awards). I also hope that light hearted,sit down movies are given to us in the future. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION - Crumbl's Dubai Chocolate Cookie is Overrated Lily Vandyke Aug 22, 2025 Now in crumble cookie form… Dubai Chocolate! Now in crumble cookie form… Dubai Chocolate! The new hottest trend can now be found at any Crumbl store along with seven other flavors. For a couple of months now, Dubai chocolate has been all the rage. From Dubai chocolate matcha to Labubus, people have been turning Dubai chocolate into everything they can think of. To some, it is the most delicious cookie to debut on the website. To others, it is just an overrated micro trend. In my opinion, I agree that the Dubai chocolate cookie is certainly overrated and not worth the hype. The Dubai brownie comes in a square shaped pan and involves all the Dubai chocolate characteristics: chocolate, pistachio, and pan-fried kataifi. In real life, the brownie is quite appetizing. Unfortunately, It does not taste as good as it looks. I will admit, the brownie is soft and crunchy at the same time and the kataifi bits add a nice crunch to it, but that's about it. The brownie is so sweet, an overwhelming type of sweetness actually. I like sweet things but this is not it. The pistachio and chocolate overpower each other, making it unbearable. Along with the taste, it is too dense and thick. The thickness of the brownie makes it too hard to eat. It is just not enjoyable. For the price of 8 dollars, it is not worth it. For what it is, a brownie with toppings, 8 dollars is very overpriced. I rather make brownies myself. Compared to other food trends in the past, Dubai chocolate is one of the food trends that I hope will not last. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Betting Big on Kiffin: LSU's $73 Million Gamble and What It Means for Taxpayers Ivory Brown Dec 17, 2025 LSU’s football team remains in the news in Louisiana with news that new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin has a massive $73 million buyout in his contract. LSU’s football team remains in the news in Louisiana with news that new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin has a massive $73 million buyout in his contract. This is in addition to a $54 million buyout in his previous contract that LSU has already in place for former coach Brian Kelly. As highlighted in your plan document, LSU was criticized by Governor Jeff Landry over paying a $54 million buyout for former LSU football coach Brian Kelly in a 10-year, $95 million contract. The news of this substantial buyout has left Louisiana taxpayers even perplexed, especially when considering that this huge amount sets a precedent for other coaches that LSU may want in the future. Though LSU asserts that this buyout reflects a commitment to staying together as a long-term family with new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin, many are left to question how this aligns with prioritizing finances with LSU rebuilding their identity as a powerful football institution in Louisiana. One common question that remains in most people’s minds as LSU launches this new journey with new LSU football coach Lane Kiffin remains a pressing question: “What will Louisianans think if LSU’s performance does not warrant such massive expenditures?” comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

Dedication also plays a heavy role in being a cheerleader because cheerleading is a sport that you have to be dedicated to. You have to be dedicated to come to practice everyday, and show up for yourself and everyone else on the team. It’s not a selfish sport at all, so even if you have a long and/or bad day, you still have to be dedicated and committed to give 100% everyday. Dedication is also shown in many ways, especially being a senior given that this is a busy year for me. I have to make sure not only am I showing up to practice and games, I’m also being dedicated to my school work and making sure I stay on top of my work.” - Saniya Reado Q: What impact have you had on the cheerleading team and school community? A: “The impact I’ve had on my school community as a cheerleader is having lots of school spirit. Cheerleaders are basically the ones who start the chants, and help with keeping the energy up at games so in the community I would definitely say we have a huge impact at the school. The impact I personally feel like I’ve had on my team is having energy for my teammates and coaches and keeping us all on one page and having a great attitude and helping us to enjoy what we do.” - Saniya Reado Q: What plans do you have after graduating high school?
