Turn on TLC, and you will either find yourself watching some version of 90 Day Fiance or 1000-Lb. Sisters. As the name says, the latter features two sisters- Tammy and Amy Slaton, whose combined weight is 1000 lbs. Anyone following the show over the seasons knows the ups and downs the sisters had to face over the years. From both the sisters struggling with their weight to Amy finding happiness with a partner and having a kid to Tammy not wanting to work on herself, it has been a ride. However, Tammy surprised everyone when she began dating and married…

Did you log in on Twitter and find an error message on the homepage? Did you then explore the app briefly, only to find a curious message displaying that your Rate Limit has been exceeded? So the main question now is- what does this mean? Less than a day ago, no one had even heard of this term, but later on, this was used to prevent Twitter users from accessing the site. Elon Musk tweeted to explain what it was, but users couldn’t even access his tweets for some time due to the rate limit set in place. So what…

Post-apocalyptic shows are seemingly endless. However, only a few of them can hit the mark when it comes to capturing the audience’s attention. The Last of Us did that flawlessly. Even though Silo on Apple TV+ hasn’t been able to gather that same audience reception or number, it’s still an endlessly fascinating watch. The series is about people who stay in mega underground Silos because the outside world is toxic. The air isn’t safe to breathe, and staying outside can lead to immediate death. But is that really so, or is there something else going on? The series has effectively…

Whether on Twitter, Facebook, or even Reddit, you would have seen various videos of people rioting in France. Streets have been set on fire in the country, shops have been looted, and some places seem like apocalyptic battlefields. As such, people on the outside looking in are wondering what’s going on in France. A few months ago, Paris was burning because French President Emmanuel Macron had increased the retirement age of most French workers from 62 to 64. Now, it looks like the capital of the country is burning again. But this time, something else seems to be happening instead…

What would you do if you were in Scott Peterson’s position? This is the question that’s plaguing everyone. If you were a school resource officer trained to confront an active shooter, would you confront the gunman if such a situation arose? Or would you prioritize your life first and then do whatever you can to deter the shooter? Most people would like to believe they are Superman, but the reality isn’t that simple. The trial of Scott Peterson, a former school resource officer in a similar place, proved just that. Amid mounting criticism, Peterson resigned from his post and sat…

If Hollywood has taught us anything, it’s that a serial killer can be anyone. But does that mean that the country music singer Garth Brooks is also one of them? The buttoned-up shirt and cowboy hat-wearing musician who brought rock and pop into country music doesn’t look like a guy who buries bodies. Yet, his comment section has been inundated with the same question. People always seem to want to know where Garth hid the bodies. Is this a reference to any of his songs, or should people take out their junior detective kits and start tagging the FBI in…

There are two sides to every story, people are generally encouraged to let legal proceedings occur before they pass their judgment. However, legal expenses are often significant, so the parties usually open GoFundMe or other alternative fundraising methods. Something similar happened in the Carlisha Hood and Jeremy Brown murder case. Except there was one difference. Only one of them, Carlisha Hood, has a GoFundMe page to receive donations. As such, people wonder if there is a way to help Jeremy Brown, who was shot and killed by Hood’s 14-year-old son. On June 18, the 35-year-old mother and her minor son…

Although it’s often considered straight and narrow, horror is a diverse genre. From psychological horror to slasher and more, there are many varieties. Run Rabbit Run, starring Sarah Snook and directed by Daina Raid, falls more into the former psychological horror category. However, it’s deliciously mixed with the one traditional horror element everyone loves- possession.   But is it possession or imagination? The Succession alum plays a fertility doctor, Sarah, who has a 7-year-old daughter named Mia. For single mother Sarah, her daughter is her whole world. Both of them live peaceful lives, but one day, things change when Mia…

Power. Money. And secrets. These three create the most delectable combinations for a film if done right. Sprinkle a scoop of horror, and you have a great thriller. Inheritance is a heady combo of all these as well. As the title says, it is indeed about an inheritance left from a father to his daughter. But it’s the kind of heinous family heirloom nobody wants to deal with. Inheritance is a 2020 film starring stars Simon Pegg, Lily Collins, Connie Nielsen, Chace Crawford, and more in important roles. A deceased father leaves his daughter with a paltry inheritance while giving…

Superman is here, the new one, actually. When James Gunn announced his plans for a new DCU beginning with Creature Commandos, Waller, and the most anticipated Superman: Legacy, no one thought he would move this fast to cast his Clark Kent. But that’s exactly what has happened. Within five months of his DCU slate announcement, Gunn announced the names of the actors who play Superman and Lois Lane. Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet are replacing Amy Adams and Henry Cavill as the two Daily Planet reporters on the big screen. But are they actually worthy of playing the characters? James Gunn…

If you thought Dark was convoluted, From will blow your mind away. Season 1 of the show gave no answers, only more questions. This underrated complicated series has a straightforward beginning. A mysterious town doesn’t exist anywhere on the US map, but people seem to find themselves in it after encountering a fallen tree. This tree acts as a roadblock that forces drivers to take a second road that leads into the town that they can’t seem to escape from. Drivers keep driving in a loop before ultimately getting taken in by the town’s residents and realizing their predicament. Season…

The spin dash is one of the most memorable and used attacks in the Sonic games. When the titular hedgehog (or any other character) performs the spin dash, they curl into a ball, build up power, and then shoot forward at an incredible speed. This move breaks obstacles, attacks opponents, or allows players to travel quickly over small distances. Different Sonic games use separate controls to make that attack happen. For example, Holding and pressing the jump button makes Sonic perform the spin dash attack on the side-scrolling 2D games. In 3D games, the buttons to carry out the attack…

Psychological thrillers or even films with unexpected endings are treats to watch. From Psycho to Sixth Sense and more, these films perfectly mess with our understanding of the film. One such film in this broad genre is What Ever Happened to Baby Jane. Made in 1962 by Robert Aldrich with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in the lead roles, the film introduced a new kind of subgenre in Hollywood- psycho-biddy. The film itself was macabre, sad, emotional, and deranged. So it was pretty adored by critics and went on to get five Oscar nominations. Made on a budget of $900,000,…

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for 16 months now. Initially, Vladimir Putin expected a swift victory, but ever since the attack began, they have been suffering setbacks one after the other. The sanctions on them have crippled the country’s resources, and the nation’s Military might have also fallen short of the Ukrainian powers. The Russian Military has crumbled for various reasons- shortage of abled fighting men, lack of ammunition and weapons, rising tensions between citizens and the state due to harsh recruitment conditions, etc. As a result, Vladimir Putin had to bring in the Wagner group, founded by…

It looks like Marvel’s bow and arrow-wielding hero- Hawkeye’s actor Jeremy Renner has a habit of giving audiences a scare. In January 2023, the star frightened everyone after getting caught in the path of a snowplow while trying to rescue his nephew from that machine. The actor suffered grievous injuries as the machine ran over his body. He had to be airlifted to a hospital. However, over time, he recovered, and news of his recovery was like sweet music to the ears of his fans. But his followers will have to crease their foreheads and raise their eyebrows again because…
