I guess it had to happen sometime! As a hardworking actress, I never assumed that this would be my debut on national television, but hey! Rallatos jokes on her TikTok, mentioning that while she's only out to a few of her extended family members, many of them do, sadly, watch Newsmax.
Michael has become a must-follow voice in queer comedy thanks to his sharp observations, deeply relatable videos, and his ability to capture the messiness, humor, and contradictions of gay culture. Whether he is skewering dating apps, touring internationally, or turning dumpsters, French onion dip, and therapy into comedy gold, his work resonates because it is honest and very funny.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
Meta's status and outages page said Facebook's advertisement manager features were impacted by high disruptions shortly before 5 p.m. EST. Users on Downdetector made 11,312 reports for Facebook, with 61% of them reporting issues with the website and 17% reporting problems logging in.
The lyrics have a rather annoying quality to them, similar to the way that other songs like "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen, "Fireflies" by Owl City or even "Friday" by Rebecca Black did in their time - songs that gained rapid popularity and, just as quickly, sparked rapid backlash from many due to overexposure to them.
Since Hunter was born in August 2020, grandparents were not allowed to enter the hospital, so Jeff wanted to find a way to make the first meeting memorable. We're guessing it was a moment they will never forget. Jeff remembers his father saying, 'You could have caused a heart attack for that!' But he had a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
The Premier League posted on its official X account a video of Vicario sending a free-kick down the length of the pitch and out for a goal-kick during Sunday's loss at Fulham, with the caption: "Just how the play was drawn up." The video, which also featured the words "an interesting free-kick from Vicario" followed by "whoops", was widely criticised before being deleted on Monday morning.
Freddy Bray, a 60-year-old man who allegedly harassed an LGBTQ+-identified motorcyclist for about five minutes - even seemingly grabbing him in a shocking viral TikTok video that has been viewed over 1.8 million times - was reportedly convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge and punished with one year of probation.

At the dawn of 2026, social media influencers at home and abroad proclaimed it the year of the "analog lifestyle," a call to reduce digital connectivity as smart tech and screen time dominate a person's attention span. Selly Tan, an influencer from California, said people are "craving something real again," and vowed to print her photos, read more books and magazines and take up hobbies that don't need Wi-Fi.
I've been seeing this guy for the last two months. The other day, I found out that he was posted about in a social media group, and I found out by lots of my friends texting me to tell me what had happened. The comments were horrific, saying that he was well known for using cocaine and cheating on ex-girlfriends. I didn't want to believe it but some girls shared screenshots of what he was sending them as recently as the last couple of weeks.
A simple mindful practice that can slow down emotional reaction, invite a breath, and encourage you to pause before you post. Social media has made it easy to broadcast our thoughts and feelings far and wide in an instant. At the same time, we often don't even consider the huge numbers of people who will read what we share. How many friends do you have across your socials? 300 to 400? 500 plus? How often do you really pause before you post?
If it isn't already obvious, you probably shouldn't tell your partner what they can or cannot eat. While this should be clear under any circumstances, you especially should not do it at a restaurant in front of your waiter - but leave it to social media to test that. In a viral new trend gaining millions of likes, women on social media are asking their male partners if they can order something specific in front of their waiters, giving the impression that they usually ask their partner for their approval before ordering certain dishes. In a viral new trend gaining millions of likes, women on social media are asking their
The same deep forces that afflict many Western nations have wrenched us apart: the transition to a postindustrial economy and the attendant erosion of working-class security, the demographic shift toward a "majority minority" nation, the cultural upheaval that has dethroned men, and especially white men, from their age-old dominance - and the rise of entrepreneurs of outrage eager to exploit all that free-floating anger.
The world of transvestigators is a sick, sad, and sorry place to live. But for those of us privileged enough to only glance at it from our car windows, it holds a strange fascination. How can so many people be so psychotically wrong about so many things, all while managing to completely miss the bigger picture? How has this conspiracy theory become so compelling as to overtake the front page conspiracy theory-turned-reality that actually exists?
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday, where he testified in a trial that has put his company in the spotlight over social media's harmful effects on children. A California woman who used Meta's Instagram and Google's YouTube as a child has said the apps fueled her depression and suicidal thoughts. The plaintiff started using YouTube at age six, Instagram at 11, then TikTok and Snapchat.
Baby naming is big business. In the pre-internet days, there were books filled with names and their origins and meanings. Then perhaps driven by '80s babies who remember what it's like to be in a homeroom with two other Jennifers, lists of names became popular online. These days, parents turn to social media, apps and even baby name consultants to help them choose the perfect name for their little one.
Studies in the field of cyberpsychology and human behavior tend to link "ex-partner surveillance" on social media with poorer emotional recovery after breakups, including higher levels of distress, stronger longing, and less personal growth. "These findings are indicators that individuals haven't let go," said Michelle Drouin, a professor of psychology at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana, US. "That impedes recovery and increases the emotional trauma, or the connection to the past partner."
Jason Miller was all set to be the White House communications director for the first Trump administration when news circulated that he'd had an affair with fellow campaign staffer, Arlene "AJ" Delgado. Delgado has a 7-year-old son that she contends belongs to Miller. The pair have spent the better part of a decade now litigating all over the place, from sex discrimination claims in New York federal court to paternity and child support claims floating around Florida.
One of Simon Clark's most popular TikTok videos begins with him playing the part of a clueless climate contrarian. Adopting the overconfident tone that is common among social-media influencers, he proclaims: "Renewables are a scam!" Cut to the real Clark, who has a PhD in stratospheric dynamics and uses the handle @simonoxfphys, as he dismantles several myths about renewable energy using a deadpan style and a torrent of charts. The video, with almost 180,000 views, is an effort to fight misinformation by meeting people where they are, he says.
The first rumblings of dissent began with a couple of 'no-shows' at various important family events. Next we saw Brooklyn, the eldest Beckham, unfollowing his famous parents on social media, then the bombshell Instagram post detailing in graphic detail why he wants nothing to do with dad David, mum Victoria or his siblings - and now, in the latest episode of the Beckham family feud saga, Brooklyn has apparently removed a tattoo dedicated to his father.
Are there "gay names"? We would say there aren't, but that hasn't stopped internet speculation on the matter. One gay man went viral last week with his suggestion of the 'Top 3 Gayest Names'. Hunter Cassidy says he's an expert in the field, but we think that expertise comes mainly from the fact that he's worked in a gay bar and presumably met lots of gay men.
The world of curling has spent decades trying to figure out a way to raise its profile beyond the once-every-four-years curiosity it becomes during the Winter Olympics. Turns out, all it took was a graze of a finger on a 40ish-pound piece of granite, an allegation caught on camera followed by an impassioned expletive-laden response. Social media and the white-hot spotlight that only the Games provide did the rest.
