Marriott Bonvoy, the travel program of the Marriott hotel brand, is a touring sponsor of some upcoming stops on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. This allows them to host a pretty killer sweepstakes they announced today (February 27): A lucky fan and a guest can win trips to see not one, not two, but three different Swift concerts, all for free.

The sweepstakes, which is open to Marriott Bonvoy members, gives entrants the opportunity to win one of three prizes.

The first prize is the one teased above, which includes three separate trips to see The Eras Tour, at select concerts in Europe, the USA, and Canada. Each trip is four days and three nights, and includes air travel, hotel accommodations, two concert tickets, and a Marriott Bonvoy Welcome Gift.

The other two prizes would be pretty sweet to lock down, too. One is basically the same as the first one, except it’s specifically for one show in Vancouver. The other offers two tickets to see Swift in either Stockholm, Madrid, Zurich, Milan, Hamburg, Vienna, Miami, New Orleans,
Indianapolis, Toronto, or Vancouver, as well as a Marriott Bonvoy Welcome Gift.

Peggy Roe — Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer, Marriott International — says, “Fueled by a deep desire to experience her shows live, Taylor Swift fans have traveled near and far to be a part of this once-in-a lifetime experience, and now, Marriott Bonvoy is helping fans make their passion a reality. People today are craving community and connection through shared experiences. We designed Marriott Bonvoy to give members access to people, places and passions they love, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be extending this unforgettable experience to new and existing members around the world.”

Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her Guts World Tour in California just a few days ago, and this is just the beginning of her stops. Fans have been preparing their purple-and-glitter-themed costumes for a while, just waiting to show them off. Part of the concert experience is also picking up some merch to commemorate the time spent there, and Rodrigo’s selection does not disappoint.

Here’s what Livies going to an upcoming Guts World Tour date can expect to find.

Here Is The Olivia Rodrigo Merch Available At The Guts World Tour

Olivia Rodrigo has a ton of merch items at her tour. Starting off, there are many different top options. There’s a black Guts hoodie with images of Rodrigo on the front, which runs for $80, according to Reddit. There are three different t-shirt options in gray, purple, and cream, with varied designs. These shirts cost $45. There’s also a purple crewneck which is $60.

For accessories, there’s also loads of options. The viral charm bracelet is $40. There’s a giant purple butterfly tote bag for $50. Rodrigo also has some items on the lower-priced side, including bandages for $15, face gems for $10, a sticker sheet for $10, and a light-up star for $15.

Rodrigo even creatively organized the items into a early 2000s-inspired photoshoot. Check out some of the Guts World Tour merch below.

21 Savage has spent some time touring with Drake lately, but now he’s getting ready to head out on his own: Today (February 27), the rapper announced he’s going on a tour in support of his album American Dream. The trek will be his first solo tour of North America in half a decade.

The shows start with a May 1 performance in Vancouver and will run until mid-June, with a concert in Savage’s hometown of Atlanta on June 15. The tour will feature support from JID, Nardo Wick, and 21 Lil Harold.

Earlier this year, Taylor Swift was at the center of a couple of political conspiracy theories. One was that she was a PsyOp for the Pentagon. Another was that this year’s Super Bowl would be rigged in the Kansas City Chiefs’ favor, so Swift, who is dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce, could use the occasion to endorse President Joe Biden for re-election.

Are either of those true? It seems unlikely. Still, Biden himself took some time to address the latter.

It was all in good fun, of course. The POTUS was a guest on Late Night With Seth Meyers yesterday (February 26), and Meyers brought up the Swift stuff, making note of Biden’s comedic post-Super Bowl social post that read, “Just like we drew it up.” He then asked, “Can you confirm or deny that there is an active conspiracy between you and Ms. Swift?”

A straight-faced Biden, who threw his sunglasses on moments earlier while jokingly sharing his thoughts on the “Dark Brandon” meme of him, responded, “Where are you getting this information? It’s classified.” He added, “That’s classified information. But I will tell you, she did endorse me in 2020.”

Meyers then wondered, “You think it might come around again?” Biden again deadpanned, “I told you, it’s classified.”

The chat moved on from there, so check out the clip above.

Growing up nearly everyone knew of one house that didn’t allow people to wear shoes inside. It didn’t matter if you accidentally wore your socks with the hole in them, there were no exceptions–shoes off. For many folks it was just seen as a quirk for that particular family and there wasn’t much thought given into why they were adamant about enforcing the rule.

But it turns out that wearing shoes inside is more of a western culture thing than a global one, which makes Americans a minority in keeping outside shoes on while inside the house. It would seem that other countries may have had a bit more of an understanding on why it’s a bad idea to wear shoes inside.

Common sense tells us that wearing shoes inside means you’ll be sweeping and mopping more often than you’d like. Of course you track in dirt but there are apparently hundreds of bacteria and fungi that you’re tracking in that can cause your family to get sick.

---

According to the Journal of Applied Microbiology 13 different studies supported the hypothesis that the bottoms of shoes carried infectious agents. “Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium difficile and multidrug-resistant Gram-negative species among other pathogens were documented on shoe bottoms in the health care setting, in the community and among food workers,” the journal says.

If you’re thinking spraying or wiping down your shoes with Lysol or Clorox will do the trick, think again. “A number of decontamination strategies have been studied of which none have been shown to be consistently successful at disinfecting shoe soles,” Journal of Applied Microbiology reports.

But you’ve been wearing shoes inside all this time, why do anything differently now? Well, you don’t have to become a no shoes inside household if it seems like too much of a hassle. Experts just want people to have the facts so they can make their own decisions on how best to keep their family healthy.

Dr. Nicole G. Freels, a podiatrist started discussing the importance of removing their shoes upon entering their home after watching a segment on the Today Show where they cultured an audience member’s flip flops. She told Southern Living, “They cultured out hundreds of different microbes, both bacterial and fungal! Ever since, I have been educating my patients on the potential risks of wearing the same shoes inside the house, and out.”

Dr. Charles Gerba, a professor and microbiologist at the University of Arizona conducted his own research in 2016. The professor swabbed a brand new pair of shoes he had only been wearing for two weeks only to find 440,000 units of bacteria with 27% of it being a deadly form of E. Coli. Yikes. There’s nothing quite like tracking Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a drug resistant extremely contagious intestinal bacteria and E. Coli into your house on a daily basis.

Makes you wonder if this is where those stomach viruses come from that seem to tear through households on repeat during certain months of the year. Honestly, knowing that our shoes track in so much stuff may make you want to figure out a way to get around by levitation. Someone should get on that discovery, quickly.

In the end, wearing shoes inside is still a personal choice even if it may make the experts hair stand on end. But if after reading all about it makes you want to boil your shoes and scrub your floors for hours, you can toss a shoe rack next to your door as a reminder. You can also buy disposable booties that fit over your shoes to keep the bacteria off your floors and in the trash where it belongs.

Niall Horan’s ‘The Show: Live On Tour’ poster

If you ever cook with fresh garlic, you know what a challenge it can be to remove the cloves from the skin cleanly, especially if you’re starting with a full head.

There are various methods people use to peel garlic, with varying levels of success. Doing it by hand works, but will leave you with garlic-smelling fingertips for the better part of a day. Whacking the head on the counter helps separate the cloves from each other, but doesn’t help much with removing the skin.

Some people swear by vigorously shaking the skinned cloves around in a covered bowl or jarred lid, which can be surprisingly effective. Some smash the clove with the flat side of a knife to loosen it and then pull it off. Others utilize a rubber roller to de-skin the cloves.

But none of these methods come close to the satisfaction of watching someone perfectly peeling an entire head of garlic with a pair of tongs.

---

A video shared by the TikTok channel Learn Green shows what appears to be a woman’s hands holding a large head of garlic in one hand and small metal tongs in the other, and within 30 seconds, the skin is separated from the cloves without any damage to the garlic, and it’s a thing of beauty.

Just when you think there couldn’t possibly be anything new social media can offer humanity, a video comes along that blows your mind and changes your life for the better. Watch:

@learngreen

Garlic Master 💚 #good #garlic

Garlic master, indeed. People in the comments clarified that the tongs appear to be fish bone tweezers, which are a bit like ice tongs, but sturdier. And the reactions to the video were pure internet gold:

“The way I want to go on the ultimate garlic peeling spree now, for absolutely no reason.”

“It takes me 2-3 business days to peel fresh garlic.”

“My flabbers have been gasted.”

“I am telling you I haven’t done a damn thing right in my entire life.”

“No thx, I’d rather cut each one individually, struggle, throwing half of it away away in the process and getting angry at myself by the end of it.”

Several people lamented that they’ve never known they had this wonder tool at their disposal.

“Are you telling me that I’ve had a garlic peeler in my drawer all these years and didn’t even know what to do with it until just now?”

“I have that set of tong things. I didn’t know it was for garlic.”

“You finally throw away that ‘useless’ thing in the kitchen drawer you had for years the day before you find out what it was for.”

Others sung the praises of “TikTok University.”

“I believe after so many of hours of TikTok we get college credits.”

“At the very least a masters degree in life skills.”

“I have learned more on TikTok than school.”

“I don’t know what other people’s feeds are like but I’m learning something every 6 minutes.”

And in case you’re wondering, this person is not the only garlic master with the tongs. There are other videos showing the same thing, and they are all just as mesmerizing.

Seriously, this is what social media should be used for—succinctly sharing useful, helpful skills that actually add to our quality of life.

(Helpful tip for getting the most out of TikTok: Don’t scroll past garlic peeling videos if you want your feed to teach you valuable hacks like this. Game that algorithm in your favor.)

On Monday Jon Stewart made his third appearance since returning to The Daily Show. It hasn’t been an entirely warm welcome back. After his maiden appearance as a Monday-only guest host, he was accused of both-sides-ing Trump and Biden. He spent his second show partly attacking his critics, if not as blisteringly as he did the episode’s real target, his old nemesis Tucker Carlson. So for this third episode, Stewart chose a far chiller subject: the strife between Israel and Palestine.

We’re over five months into the conflict, which has claimed the lives of nearly 30,000 Palestinians, a large chunk of them children. Stewart spent his opening attempting to thread the needle between Israel and Hamas, both of whom want to see the other eradicated completely. Seeing no one else had any other ideas on how to end the horror, he decided to throw his hat in the ring.

“The status quo cycle of provocation and retribution is predicated on some idea that one of these groups is going to go away — and they are not,” Stewart said. He then laid out not one, not two, but three possible “solutions for peace,” in an attempt to create a “safe and free Israel and safe and free Palestine.”

What were they? The first was a small one. It looked at a camp in Maine where nearly a hundred Israeli and Palestinian kids learn to hang out, play games, and get along, in an attempt to “open young minds.” That one, Stewart jokingly admitted, “hasn’t been scaled up yet, and may take longer than we have — unless we bring the whole f*cking region to Maine.”

So what else did Stewart have? His second was “let’s just ask God,” he said. “He started this whole mess…He can tells us who is right. Is it the Jews? Is it the Muslims? Is it the Zoroastrians? If it’s the Scientologists, a lot of us are going to have egg on our faces.” Then again, God, as Stewart pointed out, hasn’t been much of a communicator for, well, “the last millenia.”

Stewart’s third solution was a little more serious:

“Israel stops bombing. Hamas releases the hostages. The Arab countries, who claim Palestine is their top priority, come in and form a demilitarized zone between Israel and a free Palestinian state. The Saudis, Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Jordan — they all form, like, a NATO arrangement, guaranteeing safety for both sides.”

Stewart acknowledged they can’t call it NATO, so he suggested the Middle East Treaty Organization, or METO. “Let’s get this region METO’d,” Stewart joked.

He also admitted that this idea needs some work, but it’s “better than the clusterf*ck cycle we have now.”
