As Hollywood studios continue to see movie after movie fIop with audiences who want to be entertained by a compelling storyline rather than preached to by woke directors or shown CGI slop with no reaI plot, the Golden Globes this year were yet another humiliating disaster for the entertainment industry.
In fact, even sympathetic media outIets torched the Golden Globes, saying that they were mostly a disaster this year.
This year’s flop of a Golden Globes event was particularly bad for the industry given that, having been taken over from NBC by CBS, it was meant to be something of a reboot for the awards party and bring back a show generally known over the past few years for its declining ratings, if anything.
But rather than a revivaI, it was another flop for Hollywood, with even generally sympathetic media outlet Vanity Fair running a review of the event titled, The 2024 Golden Globes Were a Near-Total Disaster. Continuing, that review went on to describe host Jo Koy’s lengthy opening monologue as a horrid, sophomoric mishmash of lazy jokes” that didn’t elicit much laughter, a problem exacerbated by Koy being mostly unknown.
Similarly, the Iess sympathetic New York Post tore into the event as being a new low for an already troubled show, with a review article titled, Golden Globes 2024 were a new low for dying awards shows. Pulling no punches, the NYP article argued that it would have been better to cancel the event than run one so awful, saying:
Preparing for the 2024 Golden Globes, the awards show made a bunch of reforms to its ethically wobbIy voting body, got a new owner and moved to a different network. But none of those PR efforts matter much when the broadcast turns out as godawful as Sunday night’s did.
If only we’d 100% canceled the Globes when we had the chance.
Conservatives on X were simiIarly harsh. Washington Examiner personality Tim Young, for example, tore into the Golden Globes with a vengeance and said, “The Golden Globes had trash ratings… Perhaps people don’t want to tune in to woke, unfunny jokes about how white people are evil. Maybe their host should lecture at Harvard… I’m sure he’d be a hit there.”
Other posters noted that Jo Koy was a terrible host, saying things Iike “#GoldenGlobes Jo Koy is a terrible comedian, watching him tell jokes is so excruciating” and “i turned on the golden globes and had to turn it off bc the host is terrible.”
How Often You Should Really Be Showering…
The Great Shower Debate: Morning vs. Night vs. No Shower
Showering is a daily ritual for many, but opinions vary on the best time to do it and whether it should even be done daily. Let’s explore the different perspectives on showering, its benefits, and factors to consider for optimal skin health.
Morning Showers: A Fresh Start
For some, a morning shower is an essential part of their routine. It serves as a refreshing wake-up call, helping to shake off sleepiness and prepare for the day ahead. The warm water can stimulate circulation and promote alertness, while the act of showering can be a time for mindfulness and setting intentions for the day.
Benefits:
- Boosts energy levels and alertness.
- Helps with mental clarity and focus.
- Can serve as a form of self-care.
Night Showers: Unwinding After a Long Day
On the other hand, many people prefer to shower at night. A warm shower can help relax muscles, soothe tension, and signal to the body that it’s time to wind down. This practice can improve sleep quality by lowering body temperature after stepping out of the shower, which can help cue the body for sleep.
Benefits:
- Promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress.
- Cleanses the skin of dirt and sweat accumulated throughout the day.
- Can improve sleep hygiene.
Skipping Daily Showers: A Skin Health Perspective
Some individuals choose to skip daily showers, believing that frequent washing can lead to dryness and irritation of the skin. This perspective is particularly common among those with sensitive skin or specific skin conditions, like eczema.
Considerations:
- Skin health varies from person to person; some may benefit from less frequent washing.
- Environmental factors (humidity, climate) and personal activity levels play a role in how often one should shower.
- For those who prefer to skip a daily shower, alternative hygiene practices, like washing specific areas or using cleansing wipes, can maintain cleanliness.
Finding Your Balance
Ultimately, the best shower routine varies by individual and should take into account factors like skin type, lifestyle, and personal preferences. It’s essential to listen to your body and adjust your routine to suit your needs.
Whether you prefer morning showers to kickstart your day, night showers to unwind, or occasional skipping to maintain skin health, understanding the benefits and considerations can help you make informed choices. After all, the goal is to feel clean, refreshed, and comfortable in your own skin—no matter when you choose to shower!
