I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper.

3 Zodiac Signs Who Love Sunshine

Sunnyvale, CA

Egyptian American stand-up comedian Ahmed Ahmed tackles Islamophobia head-on, incorporating his Muslim identity brilliantly into his sets. Generally, he gets tons of laughs for poking fun at stereotypes of Arabs. Still, at one strange Florida show in 2019, the comedian lived through a surreal nightmare when an audience member called the police on him for organizing a terrorist plot. The joke that prompted this? Ahmed asked people in the room to clap if they were from the Middle East and said, “All right. We got a handful of us in here, nice. But, hey, it only takes one of us … to tell a joke.”

Kanye West’s Calabasas, California ranch has seen better days. 

His once-glamorous $2.2 million property now lies in utter disrepair, with the latest photos showing it abandoned and decrepit, according to the Daily Mail.

This stands in stark contrast to the $60 million family compound his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, still enjoys with their four children. Since their 2021 split, Kim has maintained the lavish Hidden Hills estate, just a stone’s throw — 8 miles, to be precise — from West’s crumbling ranch.

Purchased in 2018, West’s ranch was a hub for his Sunday Service gatherings and the headquarters of his Donda Academy. But...
