Animals don't vote. The only room they don't like is the euthanasia room at a shelter. They are completely at the mercy of us, and they have no voice of their own. This event was about animal advocacy—something that has always been deeply personal to me. Anyone who knows me knows that protecting animals is one of my greatest passions.

In the nine years I've been publicly out as a trans woman, I've foolishly assumed that our community all want to live in a world where being open about who we does not prompt others to exercise their own personal beliefs, whether supportive or otherwise. This assumption was shattered after Karla Sofía Gascón bizarrely used the backlash over Timothée Chalamet's ballet comments to incorrectly claim she had been cancelled for being transgender.

In one moment, Kai Trump said that she will have to "file for bankruptcy" after learning about a store-branded sweater that costs $165. The ultra-luxe grocery chain in the Los Angeles area is known for its remarkably high-priced products, such as $22 smoothies and $13 Medjool dates.

Initially, New York City public schools intended to have remote learning on Monday. However, Mamdani reversed course on Sunday afternoon, giving New York City students their first true snow day in several years.

Just wanted to give you a heads up that if you see some weird comments on my Instagram that I haven't had a chance to delete yet, it's because I got called out for criticizing a pedophile-protecting-American-who-was-executed-by-ICE-slandering-person,

(Screenshot via @GovernorVA on X) Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D) is taking her own turn being roasted after she inexplicably shared a disastrous photograph of her operating a grill for what appeared to be the first time. On Thursday evening, Spanberger shared a photo of herself, tongs in hand, with a massacred pile of unrecognizable meat strewn across a grill in front of her. Order up! she captioned it.

In a social media post reporting that the King would cooperate with the police investigation into his brother Andrew's ties with the late serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, CBS News mistakenly referred to the monarch as King Charles II a distant ancestor of King Charles III who died more than 300 years ago in 1685. The mistake, which was slapped with a community note on X, quickly went viral, with social media users dunking on the suggestion that a 17th-century monarch had been reached for comment.

The boss of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is being ridiculed for launching a lengthy attack on a rival chatbot firm over the adverts it intends to run during the Super Bowl. In a 420 word-long post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hit back, calling Anthropic "dishonest" and "deceptive" - and even accusing the firm of using "doublespeak". But commenters on social media have turned the accusation back on Altman, with some likening his post to "the digital equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum".

Hot take: I love Galentine's Day way more than Valentine's Day. This could be because my birthday is pretty close to Valentine's Day, so I feel like I always get jipped, or it could be because I just love hanging out with my girlfriends and celebrating female friendship! Either way, Galentine's Day is the best made-up holiday there ever was.

On 3 January, the Quinn X account responded to a user who called out the edit.

With her death on 28 December, another more contemporary Bardot illusion was shattered. The singer Chappell Roan, responding to Bardot's passing at 91, posted a photo of the actor in her beehived prime on Instagram, saying she had inspired her song Red Wine Supernova and writing: Rest in peace Ms Bardot.

Ben Sasse is a terrible politician but a fantastic human being. I'm sad about his cancer diagnosis but not surprised with his wonderful courageous response. In the end it's character that counts and he wins in a landslide. Ben Sasse is a terrible politician but a fantastic human being.

It was the year when Oasis finally gave us the reunion everyone wanted, 'that' couple from the Coldplay kiss cam felt the wrath of the social media morality police and the Musk/Trump bromance fell apart Meanwhile in Ireland, RTÉ radio gets a seismic shake-up, including Joe Duffy hanging up his headphones, Samantha Mumba is a sore loser - and Traitors Ireland gets the whole country talking.

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

Among those who responded to Younger's assertion that Netflix is full of "gay porn" (we can't see any) was one person who wrote, "now you know how I feel when I'm subjected to watching heterosexual couples kiss on any TV programme." To that, Younger replied: "Heterosexuality is normal. Gay isn't." Someone else added: "'Porn' is overstating it a *bit* much," to which Younger cited " Mr. Robot, S1E3" as evidence (despite the fact the Rami Malek-fronted show originally aired on USA Network during its original run from 2015-2019).

Women are the manager of the home, not a servant for you to say, Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that? Why isn't the house clean?' A woman is like a flower. A flower must be cared for and protected, and she will enrich you with her color, fragrance, and qualities, he offered in one. Women are the manager of the home,

O'Leary himself shared the Fox Business clip along with a summary of what he said, expecting "free everything." He added, "If you campaign on 'money for nothing and chicks for free,' you'd think the busses(sp) would at least be comped. Great song. Terrible policy." The businessman was referencing the song 'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits, which he also brought up in the Varney & Co. interview. Varney commended O'Leary on his sarcasm, to which the Shark Tank star responded, "I'm not kidding. I want free."

Hideo Kojima has apparently been embroiled in a slow-moving online controversy for the past week and is now trying to definitively extricate himself and his studio from the ongoing backlash. "In light of certain misunderstandings that have arisen in some media reports and on social networks, we would like to take this opportunity to accurately convey the facts," his studio announced on social media on Wednesday.

When Pepsi released its 2017 ad featuring Kendall Jenner handing a can of soda to a police officer during a protest, the backlash was immediate and brutal. The ad was meant to convey unity and peace, but it came off as tone-deaf since it seemed to trivialize serious social justice movements like Black Lives Matter, according to .The fact that Kendall Jenner, one of the Kardashians, starred in the ad simply added fuel to the fire.

It's 2025 and I actually have parents trying to defend pulling their child out of school for vacation,
