  Photo / Gif: The Daily Beast The Mouse House (Govt Name: Disney) has had a rough year. Between fighting with Florida Governor Ron DeathSatan DeSantis, the WGA-SAG-AFTRA strike, and disappointing box office results for their movies - it's been a trail of mouse droppings for the company. The box office disappointments for 2023 include the live action remake of Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones and Dial for Dollars Dial of Destiny, Antman & The Wasp: Quantumania, and Haunted Mansion. Like other studios, Disney has over played its hand and reliance on tent pole franchises and remakes.  Disney announced they're pushing back the release of Snow White and Magazine Dreams “until further notice”. Two other untitled Pixar movies and a few other live-action remakes (Tarzan, Princess and the Frog to name a few) that were under development have been cancelled. They blame the SAG-AFTRA strike. No doubt that's a major reason but IMO, there are other underlying issues plaguing the co...

  Photo: Teen Vogue When you think of business attire, the last thing you'd expect to see in the hallways at some corporate office is an emo wannabe wearing head-to-toe goth. Today's corporate Gen Z are taking a page out of the Robert Smith & Siouxsie Sioux catalog by sporting the goth look for the office. Nothing says "Please take me seriously" than looking like you crawled out of a coffin carrying a can of Clamato juice and your smartphone. I must be getting old because the goth look during my youth was what you wore to a rave party, a Cure concert, or to a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It sure as hell wasn't what you wore to have a sit-down with clients or the CEO. Corporate goth is the latest trend among the Tik Tok generation. Young professionals are donning their best white pancake makeup, black eye liner, fishnet stockings, pleather, and greasy hair to make whatever-the-fuck statement they think they're making with their atti...

  Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images (Left), Dominick Reuter/Insider (Right); Business Insider For about the past two years, Walmart has been quietly testing a new shopping cart design at select stores. In the photo above, the left is the old cart and the right is the new cart. They recently decided to roll them out at more stores. The new carts are not a hit with some shoppers. Yea, I know, first world problems. The only time I cared about shopping cart design was whenever I was involved in shopping cart races in college drunk off my ass. Somehow, I always managed to get stuck with the wobbly wheel cart. But that's another story for another day.     According to a Walmart spokesperson, the new carts, "are intended to enhance the shopping experience". Translation: we want people to buy more stuff.  The new carts are about the same size as their old carts (tiny bit bigger) which you think would be a plus for Walmart shoppers to p...

  I want to make sure it is clear that I am not part of the Mommy Mafia. I think  some  parents try their best most of the time, and there are moments to be judgy, and then there are moments to leave people the hell alone. Will the perfect parent please stand up? *crickets* I didn't think so.  On this issue, I am conflicted. Wearing a crop top at eleven is no big deal. Kids should be able to stay cool in the record breaking heat. Yet, I have a visceral reaction to these photos. I silently chanted, "Don't be an asshole mother," "Don't think of predators." and "Don't be the kind of judgy jerk who thinks they know everything."  Right now, celebrity mothers want to show off their daughters on their social media. They are all doing it. Gwyneth to Reese to Heidi Klum to reality stars to...well, you get my drift. It could be an offshoot of starting them on the nepo train to monetize them and compete with other mother-daughter duos. "All aboar...
