Netflix's Adolescence has burst into public conversation since its release, applauded for its striking performances, brutal honesty, and unflinching portrayal of teenage angst. But beyond the awards and buzz lie the questions this series forces us to confront. What happens to a teenager's sense of self when every online resentment, rumor, or post can go viral? What support do kids under constant scrutiny have? What role do adults play when digital cruelty and adolescent fragility intersect?

Last night's Emmys kicked off award season, but despite celebrating television excellence, the live viewership experience of shows like the Emmys is not what it used to be. People no longer sit through three hour long broadcasts when the best moments go viral in just a few seconds. This raises a bigger question: how do these institutions stay relevant in our changing media landscape? The lesson isn't just for Hollywood, it's for leaders, brands, and anyone trying to communicate in 2025.

The confrontation happened at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Okla., just before Adcock stepped on stage to perform. A video, shared by Adcock on Instagram, shows Adcock and Bryan staring each other down and yelling through a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. "Hey, you want to fight like a man?" Bryan says in the video clip, calling for someone to open the gate separating the two men.

We see wild parties, holidays, weddings, family outings and close-knit friendship groups, wrote one Guardian journalist in 2015. She went on: Apart from commemorating a deceased person's life, you'll be hard pushed to find a really bad moment in your feed. Here, it seemed, was a modern iteration of the opium always purveyed by free-market capitalism, resulting in a constant stream of personal happiness and precious little recognition of life's more difficult aspects: social strife, inequality, disagreement.

Social media is a cancer on our society right now,

This could have been useful to Extremely Online People like the alleged shooter, who was turned in by some of his own family members and who might have been dissuaded from his actions had he engaged more directly with them. (Of course, simplistic advice like this is often wrong; difficult family members and broken relationships might mean that in-person connection is also unhelpful for some.)

You know someone is committed to the shot when they're willing to stand on a chair, hover over a table, or dangle their phone out a window - and that describes Libras to a T. As a social air sign, they'll do whatever it takes to capture fun moments as they unfold, and they'll be especially motivated if they need something for social media.

In hardly any time at all, the footage of the horrifying moment when a bullet hit conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the neck cascaded across the internet. Whether seeing it inadvertently or seeking it out, onlookers far from the crowd at a Utah college could be exposed to disturbingly close and potentially bloody glimpses of his shooting and the resulting chaos. It's the product of a digital-first world where the presence of smartphones and social media makes current events readily accessible and often, practically unavoidable.

Digital entertainment platforms have brought a wave of transformation in the global economy, especially in London. Digital entertainment refers to all forms of formally traditional activities like recreation, amusement, or enjoyment that formerly required physical interaction, but are now also delivered through electronic devices and platforms. There is a wide range of activities which are included in this, such as streaming movies on Netflix, listening to music on Spotify, playing online gambling games, the use of social media platforms, or just surfing through online content.

The superintendent of Wachusett Regional School District confirmed a teacher was placed on administrative leave after allegedly "making inappropriate comments" on her personal social media page. "Please know that Wachusett Regional School District condemns violence in all forms. Political violence, especially, has no place in our country, and it directly contradicts our nation's founding principles," Superintendent James Reilly said in a statement, which did not name the teacher.

"This is like a dream job, where I get to help early stage companies make noise, but then I also get to help the late-stage companies prepare for IPOs," Machiz says.

Stephen Colbert Acts As Justice Sotomayor's Anger Translator: "This just sounds like racial profiling with extra steps."

At some point over the past year, Kyla Scanlon seemed to be everywhere - at least on my feeds. I first heard her on Bloomberg's Odd Lots in the summer of 2024, tied to the release of her book In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work, which is a kind of economics primer for the TikTok generation. Recently, she surfaced on The Ezra Klein Show, expanding on a Substack post about the political juice of both Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump,

Only folks who work in social media know the challenges of creating and curating a social media content calendar with all the right insights. This is why bringing in artificial intelligence (AI) as your creative partner works really well. AI brings in creative ideas to simplify the content creation process, helps generate templates, and even suggests strategy optimizations to create a consistent posting schedule.

On Monday, Andrew Cabot, a Massachusetts liquor entrepreneur and a member of one of Boston's most prominent families, issued a statement to People, saying that he and his wife, Kristin, were already privately and amicably separated before she was caught canoodling with her married boss, former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, at a Coldplay concert in July. Frontman Chris Martin himself brought attention to the lovers looking extremely affectionate with each other on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium outside Boston,

For example, terms such as " rejection sensitivity dysphoria" achieve instant diagnostic status-and an acronym (RSD)-due to their popular, intuitive appeal. It's highly misleading and can do more harm than good when people embrace such concepts naively and out of context, what has been dubbed "social-media-associated abnormal illness behavior (SMAAIB in How Does Social Media Contribute to Teen Mental Illness?).

Wearing a gold chain, Adidas tracksuit and handling suspiciously blurry-looking banknotes, it is obvious to most viewers that it is the product of generative AI. The creators, the Crewkerne Gazette, who run satire pages on Facebook and YouTube, have made a series of parody songs all AI-generated featuring other notable figures such as Keir Starmer, Nigel Farage and King Charles.
