Snoop Dogg needs no introduction. As a legendary figure in ’90s gangsta rap and the epitome of West Coast hip-hop culture, he’s left an indelible mark on music. Beyond his lyrical and musical achievements, Snoop is also a certified football coach and a passionate gamer, often racking up Xbox Gamerscore points. In a bold move, he announced during the 2023 Game Awards that he’s launching his own gaming studio.
But besides all that, he’s also known for his charity efforts. In 2005, he founded the Snoop Youth Football League for at-risk youth, which was claimed to have become the largest youth football organization in Southern California. He also started a special-needs division called Snoop Special Stars for anyone with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities aged five or older. It’s also a known fact that he donated and raised millions for charitable causes over the years, but the full extent of his charitable giving remains difficult to ascertain.
The main reason behind that is his apprehension towards speaking about it or appearing in videos and photos due to wariness that his donations and charitable causes might be interpreted as publicity stunts. However, news reports are sometimes difficult to avoid, especially for someone as famous as Snoop. In recent reports, the rapper earned praise for stepping up to support those displaced by the devastating Southern California wildfires.
Namely, the Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper revealed that his clothing store, Snoop Dogg’s Clothing, located in Inglewood, California, is providing clothes to people impacted by the wildfires. The announcement was made on Snoop’s Instagram page on Thursday, January 9. Snoop’s post read:
“We are devastated and send our condolences to those who have been affected by these fires. Please stop by and pick up some clothing that we have available to get you and your family through these trying times free of charge, ID/ address requested.”
The store, on the other hand, offered additional information regarding Snoop’s original post by stating that it would be open through 7 PM local time on Friday, January 10, to assist those who have been affected by the wildfires. They also emphasized that both adults and children could come in and receive clothes, with a valid ID and an address being the only requirements, reiterating their working hours for anyone who might find the information useful.
Snoop Dogg’s Clothing also shared additional information about other nearby locations and businesses that are temporarily accepting and distributing donations to help wildfire victims. But the charity effort doesn’t end there; Snoop stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 13 and praised the city’s sense of community while also acknowledging the first responders and the firefighters who are working tirelessly to contain the fires.
Snoop also hinted that some financial solutions were also being explored and hinted at a potential benefit concert for those affected by the wildfires. He shared that he’s leaning towards the idea of doing a concert for free and making sure that all the proceeds he would otherwise receive from the concert and ticket sales are used to help people in need during these trying times.
Kimmel, on the other hand, added that his studio’s parking lot in Hollywood has been turned into a donation center to collect essential items. The host later praised Snoop’s ongoing community contributions, many of which we previously mentioned in the opening segment of this discussion, but the Doggfather, ever humble, put collective effort back into the spotlight. Fans praised Snoop’s action on social media, thanking him for his support and calling him a true hero.
For those who aren’t in the know, tens of thousands of people were forced to evacuate as multiple fires popped up around Los Angeles County, and many residents later learned that they had lost their homes. Cal Fire, California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, reported that more than 90 (yes, you read that right) wildfires had ignited across the state during the opening days of the new year, but the two large fires, in particular, continue to plague the LA area.
One of them is the Palisades Fire, which destroyed the Pacific Palisades neighborhood after igniting on January 7, and the Eaton Fire in nearby Altadena. The former burned nearly 24,000 acres, while the latter consumed more than 14 acres; collectively, both fires have killed at least 24 people, scorched more than 60 square miles, destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and put more than 88,000 people under evacuation orders.
With the distressing data out of the way, we’d like to close this piece by saying that true character shines through in times of crisis, and Snoop Dogg’s efforts during the devastating LA wildfires exemplify the power of compassion and community. From offering immediate relief through his clothing store to hinting at a potential benefit concert, the legendary Doggfather reminds us that even the smallest gestures have the potential for profound impacts.

Senator Bernie Sanders hadn’t been pulling punches against his own political party after the 2024 presidential election’s outcome. The Vermont senator believes that the Democratic Party has been ignoring a glaring reality for many working-class Americans.
Streamer Hasan Piker interviewed Sanders on Twitch. Piker put forward that the erosion of government safety nets, increasing deregulation, and privatization have led people to resent the government. Then, the streamer asked if Sanders agreed with this sentiment. Without hesitation, Sanders agreed.
Following the arrest of South Korea’s impeached leader, Yoon Suk Yeol, the contrast between how South Korea and the United States handled their leaders’ rebellion is quite startling.
On December 3, 2024, Yoon shocked South Korea when he abruptly declared martial law. In South Korea, the president can declare martial law in times of war and emergencies. However, there was little evidence that Yoon had a reason or situation that met the standards necessary for a martial law declaration, with many suspecting it was actually an attempted coup. Ultimately, the National Assembly, in a unanimous vote from 190 members, successfully annulled the martial law after just three hours. Even though his “coup” lasted such a short time, the consequences were swift and serious. He was impeached, and his presidential powers were suspended. Following the investigation into his declaration of martial law, an arrest warrant was granted, and Yoon was taken into custody on January 15, 2025.
Bzzz bzzzz, Yellowjackets fans. Season three will continue to feed us with more mysterious happenings in the wilderness as the group scrambles to seek shelter and survive. In the present day, our favorite survivors will grapple with last season’s shocking death as they try to work through their many interpersonal issues 25 years after their life-changing plane crash. What will we learn about those woods? What is the true meaning behind that weird symbol? Will Other Tai and the Man with No Eyes resurface once again? The next round of episodes will surely provide answers to our burning questions.
The group is certainly getting into some more coven-like activities, as evidenced in this photo shared on Instagram. We wanna know how they made these cute matching outfits and lanterns with little resources.
Here’s what we know about Yellowjackets season three so far.
Yellowjackets Season Three’s Plot
Right now, we don’t know anything about season three’s plot. As previously stated, the timeline in the past will be dealing with the group losing shelter during winter. A recent Yellowjackets teaser trailer shows that Shauna will once again take center stage, as we see a few scenes of teenage Shauna acting a bit feral. Teen Natalie is now the leader in the wilderness, so we will see just how savage everyone gets.
The present timeline will have to deal with Natalie’s death and how that affects everyone in the present day. We can assume we will return back to Wiskayok to catch up with family members and unresolved issues there. Tai kinda needs to go back to her wife (if she’s even alive) and son.
This Yellowjackets trailer gives us even more insight. There’s someone threatening the group once again in the present day and, in the past, things are getting even more feral. And yes, the Man with No Eyes is back again along with newcomer Hilary Swank being seen for the first time in her mysterious Yellowjackets role.
Behind-the-scenes
Yellowjackets creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson will continue as its executive producers and co-showrunners alongside Jonatha Lisco. We assume the same team of writers is back for season three.
Yellowjackets Season Three’s Cast
The teen and adult ensemble cast members are coming back, including Melanie Lynskey (adult Shauna), Christina Ricci (adult Misty), Tawny Cypress (adult Tai), Lauren Ambrose (adult Van), Sophie Nélisse (teen Shauna), Jasmin Savoy Brown (teen Tai), Sophie Thatcher (teen Natalie), Samantha Hanratty (teen Misty), Courtney Eaton (teen Lottie), Liv Hewson (teen Van), Steven Krueger (Coach Ben), Warren Kole (Shauna’s husband Jeff), Kevin Alves (teen Travis), Sarah Desjardins (Shauna’s daughter Callie) and Simone Kessell (adult Lottie).
It is not impossible for adult Natalie to make an appearance, perhaps in some sort of dream or flashback. We will see. Elijah Wood is returning in a recurring role as Walter Tattersall. Hilary Swank and Joel McHale will join the cast in currently unknown guest star roles.
Yellowjackets Season Three’s Release Date
Yellowjackets will release will hit Paramount+ for those with the SHOWTIME plan on February 14 with two episodes. Others will be able to watch it live on February 16.
