At the top of the last month of 2020, Michigan stands in a precarious position regarding the spread and impacts of COVID-19, along with the rest of the country. Michigan has had up to 404,386 confirmed cases, with 9,947 deaths. In comparison, the United States as a whole has had roughly 14,462,527 confirmed cases of the virus, with 280,135 deaths so far. Further, many Michigan residents are on unemployment insurance because of the pandemic, with up to 3 million unemployment claims since March. But over half a million residents are set to lose that stream of unemployment income under either the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) or the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC). Since these are both provided through the CARES Act, those benefits end when the legislation expires, which in this case is set for Dec. 26.

Like many others, I decided to pick up a show to watch over the recent Thanksgiving break. What better way to spend the time than by relaxing? I personally popped on some episodes of The Great British Bake Off, (or the Great British Baking Show as it’s called on Netflix US) . This is the first year I’ve watched Bake Off during the same year it aired, so I was very excited for it. I was actually able to keep up with some of the tweets and memes as they were coming out.

If you’re reading this, it’s already too late. You’ve missed your chance to see the videos that made up Unus Annus. Unus Annus was a YouTube project started by Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach and Ethan “CrankGameplays” Nestor. The idea was to upload a video every single day starting Nov. 15, 2019, and delete the channel after the full year. There was no monetisation of these videos, and they’re purely just for the conceptual idea of the project. An idea that seems so simple on the surface became something much bigger than the sum of its parts.

Joe Biden is now president-elect, after he passed the 270 electoral vote threshold from winning Pennsylvania on November 7th. The race had been close the first few days following election day, with Biden gradually expanding his lead later in the week. A record number of Americans cast their vote this year, with an increase in turnout across party lines. Coupled with the devastating handling of the COVID-19 crisis by the Trump administration, one would think Biden and other Democrats would have won in a landslide. But they did not.

It’s that time of year again and the fall season is in full swing. As we all know, one of my favorite shows to watch in this season is "Over the Garden Wall." It’s a cult classic loved by many. One of the greatest things about the miniseries is the soundtrack, which was performed by The Blasting Company.

Late last Monday night, only hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed her appointment, Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the newest Supreme Court Justice. She fills the seat left vacant by Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s unfortunate passing in September. But seating Barrett on the Supreme Court 8 days before the 2020 presidential election is not a win for the people—it's the last nail in the coffin for conservative’s takeover of the court.

The second and final Presidential Debate on Oct. 22 may be the most consequential of the two, with severe implications for this election's outcome. Since August, and most likely even before then, most Americans seem to have settled relatively quickly on who they intend on voting for President this November. The polls have been incredibly close in places like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Florida, all within a 2-5 point margin . With so few undecided voters and the even more difficult task in tracking them, anything could happen on Tuesday, November 3.

British music sensation Dodie is back at it again with a beautiful new single. Dodie released her newest song, “Cool Girl” on Oct. 19, the same day she announced her upcoming debut album “Build a Problem”, which will be released on March 5. The announcement was prefaced by about two weeks of videos on her YouTube channel, “doddlevloggle,” in which she slowly knitted the letters for “Build a Problem” in a hang-man style puzzle. This new single shows promise for her upcoming album and I am very excited to hear more from her.

On Monday, Oct. 12, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed into law a package of bills to expunge the criminal records of hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents. These bills aim to break down the barriers that follow having a criminal record. An expungement of criminal records will open up many doors for folks who have not been able to obtain a good paying job, housing, and other necessities because of a past mark on their record.
