In a chilling development that signals a brutal escalation in the Islamic Republic’s response to domestic unrest, Iranian authorities are reportedly moving forward with the first execution linked to the recent wave of anti-government demonstrations. According to a report by Fox News, the regime is set to hang a protester who was convicted of “moharebeh,” […]

New music coming SOON. Megan Moroney is gearing up to release her highly-anticipated third studio album Cloud 9 in February, and she just revealed the tracklist last week, which confirmed two features, one being British pop star Ed Sheeran, and the other being country star Kacey Musgraves. Fans seemed to think they might be a real possibility to be on the album, and Kacey and Megan teamed up for a song called “Bells & Whistles,” which is the one I’m most looking forward to hearing. But before we get to hear those, Megan just announced on Instagram that the next single from Cloud 9 is dropping this Friday, and it’s a song called “Wish I Didn’t,” which she has teased bits of when the album was first announced. It sounds like it definitely leans into her more pop sensibilities, as she sings about potentially having to seek revenge on a former flame: “You’ve got a hell of a reputation, So here I am patiently waiting, For that other shoe… or should I say boot to drop, I’ve heard all of the horror stories, Your graveyard of girls before me, If you play dirty, how do I say this? Hell hath no fury, You show up and you’ve got all the right things to say, It’s all sunshine and blue skies, But I can also make it rain, Don’t make me wish I didn’t get dressed up…” And if that “make it rain” line sounds a little familiar, it might be because fans have already been speculating that this song could reference her fling with fellow country star Riley Green, who has a song called “Make It Rain,” which appeared on the deluxe edition of his album Don’t Mind If I Do. The drama about these two, and whatever they were, never seems to end, but I’m sure hearing the entire song on Friday will give much needed context and maybe we can settle it once and for all… but that’s probably wishful thinking: “‘WISH I DIDN’T’ OUT FRIDAY.” You can listen to the teaser here: View this post on Instagram Megan has already put out a few songs from the Cloud 9 tracklist, including “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things,” Cloud 9 Tracklist 1. “Cloud 9” (Megan Moroney, Luke Laird, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Ernest Keith Smith)* 2. “Medicine” (Megan Moroney, Connie Harrington, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Jessi Alexander)* 3. “6 Months Later” (Megan Moroney, Ben Williams, Rob Hatch, and David “Messy” Mescon)* 4. “Stupid” (Megan Moroney, Amy Allen, and David “Messy” Mescon)* 5. “Beautiful Things” (Megan Moroney, Connie Harrington, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Jessi Alexander)* 6. “Convincing” (Megan Moroney, Connie Harrington, Jessie Jo Dillon, and Jessi Alexander)* 7. “Liars & Tigers & Bears” (Megan Moroney, Luke Laird, and Jessie Jo Dillon)* 8. “I Only Miss You (ft.

Cruises are fertile ground for community and wholesome, silly fun. People aboard ships, free from work, news from the outside world, and other adult responsibilities, get into all kinds of joyful mischief. They hide rubber ducks around the ship for others to find, decorate their cabin doors, and leave notes of appreciation when someone's room is especially well decorated. Groups also wear matching shirts and other ridiculous outfits.One such group tradition has made cruise ships around the world a little more colorful: people, in droves, have been dressing up as the iconic Three's Company character Mrs. Roper.Played by Audra Lindley, Helen Roper was famous for her quick wit, sassy demeanor, and extraordinarily loud outfits. Notably, in the long-running sitcom she was usually seen wearing a caftan—a long, flowy robe or tunic—along with wide, boldly shaped glasses, chunky beaded necklaces, dangly earrings, and, of course, her signature short, curly hair.Though the character had a popular run in the late '70s and early '80s, Mrs. Roper experienced a renaissance in the 2010s, when she became an icon in the LGBTQ community. Dressing as Mrs. Roper at Pride celebrations and other events became popular around 2013. People embraced the character's open-minded, progressive personality, as well as the way she challenged societal norms for older women on television in her era.It's also, let's face it, just plain fun to dress up in such a wild and unencumbered outfit.More recently, hordes of Mrs. Ropers have been spotted aboard cruise ships, with the best and brightest of these meetups known as "Mrs. Roper Romps." Parade magazine reports that nearly every Royal Caribbean sailing has featured a sizable romp over the past few years. @kynsleesmom #mrsroper #carnivalliberty #cruise In social media groups and cruise forums, Ropers-in-waiting meet up to plan their romps. They might organize a bar crawl, a deck walk, or a dance party. Of course, no romp is complete without plenty of photo ops.The dress-up meetups have been popular on land for years now, but being at sea allows fans to take the gag to a whole new level. Being on vacation, in international waters where "anything goes," and buoyed by a hint of onboard anonymity allows people to truly let loose once they don the signature muumuu.But what is it about Mrs. Roper that inspires so much flirtatious sass? The New York Times writes: "By 2023 standards, the show might be considered retrograde in its attitudes toward feminism and homosexuality. But when it aired, its randy suggestiveness pushed broadcast boundaries. Mrs. Roper was its progressive Pole Star: Freethinking and voluptuary, she pooh-poohed her husband’s anti-gay slights and illustrated for Janet and Chrissy how an older woman could have sexual agency. ... That attitude has made the character into something of a cult figure today, particularly among gay men and straight women, who make up most of the Mrs. Roper Romp crowds."Planning romps with strangers allows passengers to connect with like-minded new friends and make their vacations even more memorable. - YouTube www.youtube.com Not everyone, however, is a fan of cruise-based "Mrs. Roper Romps."When you're on a cruise ship, it's hard to escape the crowds and constant hustle if you're not participating. That's why the romps have received some pushback from passengers annoyed by gaggles of Ropers taking over the pool deck day after day.In fact, the "controversy" has drawn so much attention that key cruise line figures have been forced to weigh in. See on Instagram Carnival's longtime brand ambassador, John Heald, recently took to social media with a simple plea."I'm sorry, but this Cruise phenomenon of dressing as Mrs. Roper is getting out of control and needs to be stopped now.!!!" he wrote in an Instagram post.Of course, in the very same post, he posed in a bright orange muumuu, a curly wig, and a humongous beaded necklace. See on Instagram Love it or hate it, the atmosphere on a cruise ship is special and hard to recreate anywhere else.They're like massive, floating resorts, but being on the open ocean adds an extra nautical twist to the typical vacation experience. The rooms are small, so passengers spend all day and most of the evening out and about. And while cruise ships are big, they can't compete with the size of an open beach. The relatively close quarters have a way of fostering even more community. You run into the same people over and over and frequent the same spots on the ship.And all the while, most passengers have little to no access to their cell phones or the internet (unless they've paid a hefty fee for spotty service). With distractions and responsibilities removed, carefree fun thrives.In divisive times, a cruise is almost the perfect escape. In fact, in 2024, one cruise line announced plans to offer a four-year "skip ahead" voyage for anyone who wanted to more or less check out of the news cycle for the foreseeable future."Mrs. Roper Romps" may not be everyone's cup of tea, and getting caught in one while trying to grab a drink at the pool bar can be a hassle, but the loud, proud celebration of joy and self-confidence is something everyone can get on board with.
