I gave you the opportunity to be a man. You didn't take it, Ryan said. I gave you the opportunity to speak to five and a half million people and prove to them that you are not insider trading. That's a f*cking gift, I might add. A gift and you turned it down. He added, I'm not gonna interview you now, I don't play games, I handle sh*t like a man.
Nguyen, 34, was part of April's historic 11-minute flight, whose crew included pop star Katy Perry, broadcast journalist Gayle King, and journalist and wife of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez.

It made sense in the beginning, after she appeared on the Jumbotron, aghast, in the arms of her boss at a Coldplay concert on July 16, 2025, a moment that caused an international furor. The original TikTok received 100 million views within days. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most: her two teenage kids; her employer, the tech company Astronomer;
The Spanish Ministry of Equality has launched an initiative to try to eliminate the use of the term "Charo", a label that originated in Spanish online forums like Forocoches and is used pejoratively to mock feminist women over 30. Charo, a shortened version of Rosario, is actually a very common name in Spain. But referring to someone as "a Charo" has acquired a new meaning in the Spanish vernacular.
I've never had an essay receive that much attention, with over a million views in just a few hours. I stood up straighter. I felt lighter. My step had a bounce, and I felt inspired to keep moving and do even more. This is what writers dream of - creating something that touches a large audience and makes them feel less alone, especially in the wake of what felt like such a tragedy.
Hundreds of people were fired for what they said about Charlie Kirk in the wake of his assassination earlier this year. Ex-Sucker Punch artist Drew Harrison was one of them.

The body-positive feminist was at the centre of a scene including dancers and drag queens during the show that was reminiscent of depictions of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus is said to have shared with his apostles.
The trend goes like this: A group of people, typically kids, gives their phone to someone else and asks them to record them doing a dance. They record the dance on the front-facing camera so the dancers can see themselves and at the end of the dance, they move towards the camera and flip it to reveal the person recording them.
"Tell your tyrant to reel it in or the people will burn your house, office and tar and feather you in the streets of Hyannis," the threat said. "I will not support you or your trumpism. This is a warning of what the people are saying."
Over the weekend, Georgia Tennant posted a series of screenshots on her Instagram Stories, detailing some of the horrendous messages she has received on the platform. In one post, shared by Metro, a troll dubbed Tennant "sick" and told her to "die" and to "go back to the street". They also shared a false claim about her marriage to Good Omens actor David Tennant, branding her the "ex-wife" of the actor. Other messages called her "disgusting" and a "dirty w****" who deserved to "die for good", per the Daily Mail.
As she reeled from the discovery of a pornographic website featuring AI-generated images of herself naked, the prominent Italian journalist and writer Francesca Barra said the question that struck her the most came from her young daughter. She asked me: how do you feel?', Barra, 47, said. But what I heard was another more subtle question that my pre-adolescent daughter perhaps didn't have the courage to ask, and that was: If it happened to me, how would I handle it?'.
Season 4 of The Witcher is finally on Netflix, and with the final fifth season looming, the cast are opening up and reflecting on their time in Andrzej Sapkowski's fantastical world of monsters and magic.

As a woman, I would like to remind anyone that is in the community I have built that I believe that trans women are women full stop and you cannot change my mind. The protection of trans people and the LGBTQ+ community is a duty I'd encourage everyone in my community to continue to fight for, we must protect the dolls. It's been an honour being able to see the variety of facially challenged and intellectually stunted come together below this post to bash a
LinkedIn is facing mounting calls to suspend the account of Sam Wall, a 55-year-old digital marketing strategist from Cheadle, who was jailed for 28 months on Friday after pleading guilty to stalking, harassment and malicious communication.

When I was cast on the TV show "Survivor" in 2023 (yes, that show is still on), I thought I knew what anxiety felt like. I had spent years helping clients understand it, name it, and care for it. I had been in active therapy for around a decade. But living through it in front of millions of people is something no training could have prepared me for.
Offline, there has been a surge of reported hate crimes and book bans, alongside a wave of government and legislative actions targeting LGBTQ+ rights (with a focus on trans people). Online, LGBTQ+ individuals face coordinated harassment campaigns, a rollback of digital protections, and systematic erasure from AI training data and moderation.
Violence against LGBTQ+ people has risen dramatically in every country across nearly all walks of life, according to the report. In the US, nearly 20 per cent of all hate crimes were motivated by anti-LGBTQ+ bias, according to details released by the FBI in August.

Giuffre wrote of the 2022 confidential settlement of her sexual abuse civil claim against the royal, widely rumoured to be $12m, that her lawyers were going to ask for the moon, and her team had agreed it had to be more than mere money. After casting doubt on my credibility for so long Prince Andrew's team had even gone so far as to try to hire internet trolls to hassle me the Duke of York owed me a meaningful apology as well, she wrote.
Dr Andrew McFarlane, 61, was arrested and charged with communications offences in August after he called Ellie Wilson a "manipulative liar", a "slut" and a "hippo" in a series of posts on X. In 2022 his son Daniel McFarlane was convicted of raping Ms Wilson, who has since become a campaigner for survivors of male sexual violence. Rape Crisis Scotland has complained to the General Medical Council (GMC) twice about Dr McFarlane's conduct,
But this was just wild, you know? Von said. And people are sending messages and hateful stuff, and, you know, You think all these illegals should and all this type of shit. I could talk to you ad nauseam about that, but this wasn't the time for it. It just was something they used and put out there and everybody saw, right?
However, the show caught the attention of Musk after far-right social media accounts began recirculating clips of the series this week. The show's creator, Hamish Steele, shared to his BlueSky account that "It's probably going to be a very odd day" after Musk retweeted a post from Libs of TikTok calling out Dead End: Paranormal Park for "pushing pro-transgender of CHILDREN." The post claimed the series was "advertised for 7-YEAR-OLDS" and "promoted on Netflix Kids now," to which Musk added: "This is not ok."
Last September, Naima Troutt was one of 25 liberal college students chosen to debate Charlie Kirk. One interaction in the 90-minute video was particularly memorable: After Kirk attempts to argue that abortion is murder, Troutt mutters to herself, "Ugh, his smile is very creepy." "Oh, so smiling is creepy?" he asks, to which she replies, "No, your smile specifically." The room erupts into laughter. The clip went viral. Fan edits were made in her honor. In the world of debates designed for maximum social-media engagement,
I'm fine now, but I won't pretend I wasn't shaken, she said. For a week I second-guessed every bump, every look, even crossed the road to avoid people. I shared the incident online and since the TikTok went viral, with that came an influx of more racist comments. Ms Choudry said the experience had left her heartbroken and triggered painful memories of growing up in Sunderland, where she was the only brown girl and suffered racism.
What was Deborah's supposed crime? The policeman didn't tell her. Was it her passionate support of President Trump and the MAGA movement on her Facebook and X pages? To make it worse, Deborah is in the midst of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy. She ought to be have been convalescing. Instead, she was harassed for her tweets. Thames Valley Police are responsible for guarding President Trump this week. What would he make of the fact that those same officers are visiting the homes of his supporters - including US citizens - and threatening them with arrest?
