Just a guy

Well, this is me (The Averagebeing), and I'm just fed up with this world.

It all makes sense now… When Matthew Perry died in October 2023, fans were left with a mix of heartbreak and confusion. This guy wasn’t just Chandler Bing from Friends, he was also the guy who spoke openly about his battles with addiction, even writing a whole memoir about it. His sudden death in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home sounded almost too surreal to process. Now, nearly two years later, we know the truth: A woman known in Hollywood’s underworld as the “Ketamine Queen” played a central role. Jasveen Sangha, 42, is not some party dealer on the…

Alright, folks, gather ‘round for another round of “Did The Simpsons See This Coming?” — a game we seem to play every time reality gets weirder than fiction. The latest installment features none other than the Coldplay concert scandal that toppled Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and sent the internet into a meme-making frenzy. Yes, someone (okay, a lot of someones) claimed The Simpsons predicted it. Let’s back up for a second. Unless you’ve been blissfully offline, you’ve probably seen the now-infamous footage: a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert pans over a couple snuggling just a bit too closely. They…

Of all the ways a career can end, being outed on the jumbotron at a Coldplay concert while sneaking kisses with your head of HR is… creative, to say the least. Andy Byron, once the CEO of $1.3 billion AI company, Astronomer, has now become the subject of meme legend and watercooler talk across the country. Honestly, if the board didn’t ask for his resignation, the internet might’ve done it anyway. So…Byron and Kristin Cabot (his HR chief, mind you) were spotted mid-snuggle at a Coldplay show in Foxborough, MA. The kiss cam caught them, and the panic in their…

Some resumes are boring. Some are too flashy, then there’s one that just… stops halfway. Literally. One job seeker has managed to break the internet and possibly every HR software filter out there with a resume that boldly or perhaps confusingly cuts off mid-page, ending with a dramatic plea: “Hire me to unlock my full potential.” Yes, you read that right. No job experience. No contact info. Just the top half of a professional headshot, a vague career objective, and a whole lot of whitespace. The kind of whitespace that screams either “bold marketing genius” or “printer ran out of…

So…did Riri Williams really make a deal with Mephisto? Oh yeah. She absolutely did, and it’s already turning into one of the most unsettling moments in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (apart from this stupid show). In the finale of Ironheart, Riri defeats her enemies, outsmarts Parker Robbins (aka The Hood), and walks away with a moral victory. At least, that’s how it looks at first. But then she meets a mysterious, silver-tongued man with a devilish grin. Mephisto — Marvel’s long-whispered version of the devil himself, played by none other than Sacha Baron Cohen. Mephisto doesn’t offer a formal…

Donald Trump just pulled off one of the strangest legal “wins” in media history, and it’s got everyone’s jaw on the floor. Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, has agreed to pay a hefty $16 MILLION to settle a lawsuit Trump filed over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. But that money isn’t going into his pocket — not directly, at least. It’s being allocated to his “future presidential library.” Which…okay, sure. Let’s rewind a bit. Last year, Trump sued CBS and Paramount, claiming the network deceptively edited an interview with Harris to make her look more coherent…

Kathy Griffin took a casual walk near her Malibu home recently, wearing a T-shirt from her 2018 Laugh Your Head Off World Tour, and Twitter practically combusted. The reason? She showed up bare-faced, with wild, untamed natural red curls blowing in the wind. No makeup, no signature wig, no celebrity gloss. Just Kathy, 64 years old, and totally herself. Naturally, the internet lost it. Photos of Griffin’s low-maintenance look went viral, with fans and critics alike debating everything from her health to her hair texture. Some assumed the worst: Is she sick again? Has something happened? Some even compare her…

So here we are. Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul, fashion tycoon, and former billionaire who danced his way through the 90s and beyond, just got handed a guilty verdict. Not for the jaw-dropping racketeering and sex trafficking charges that prosecutors led with, but for something that feels both lesser and still deeply disturbing: TWO COUNTS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR PROSTITUTION. In simple terms, he was found guilty of flying two women, Cassie Ventura and a woman referred to as Jane, across state lines for sex acts. Not racketeering. Not trafficking. Not the big RICO charge that had people whispering about…

Another day, another batch of layoffs in tech. This time, it’s Microsoft swinging the axe. Again. A STAGGERING 9000 JOBS GONE, in a move that the company insists is part of “organizational changes” needed to stay competitive in our ever-so-dynamic marketplace. But let’s not sugarcoat it—the real headline here is AI. Microsoft, the same company that made $26 billion in profit last quarter, is cutting 4% of its global workforce. Why? Because it’s throwing $80 billion into AI infrastructure like data centers and chips. Thousands of people are losing their jobs so Microsoft can bet big—REALLY big—on artificial intelligence. Some…

Oh, Italy. Land of art, pasta, and… broken chairs? Yep, it’s not every day that an art mishap goes viral for being this ridiculous and this glittery. But here we are: a bedazzled chair inspired by Van Gogh’s famous painting, encrusted with hundreds of Swarovski crystals, was crushed in Verona’s Palazzo Maffei museum — not by an earthquake, not by a freak accident, but by a tourist with a weak squat game and a stronger-than-expected desire for a photo. So, how the hell did this even happen? Let’s set the scene. The “Van Gogh Chair,” created by Italian artist Nicola…

So, you might’ve heard the phrase “don’t rain on my parade” — well, it looks like nature tried her best, but ultimately, Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C. went ahead on Saturday, rainclouds and all. That’s right. No, the parade wasn’t canceled. But if you’re wondering whether it was a triumphant spectacle or a surreal dystopian fever dream… the answer is “yes.” Let’s break it down. It was Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, and the man finally got what he’s been begging for since 2017: tanks rolling down Constitution Avenue, troops saluting under bulletproof…

Okay, deep breath. Here’s what went down in Minnesota over the weekend, and it’s the kind of story that forces you to stare into the middle distance for a while, wondering, “What the hell is happening to this country?” Melissa Hortman—former Speaker of the Minnesota House and a veteran Democratic lawmaker was murdered in her own home, alongside her husband, Mark. Meanwhile, about five miles away, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot and seriously wounded. Authorities believe it was all politically motivated. I wish I were making this up. The alleged shooter? A 57-year-old man named…

It’s June 14th, but this year, Flag Day isn’t getting the same spotlight. Instead, millions of Americans are marching under a different banner: “No Kings Day.” The name alone sounds like a line from a punk rock album, but the meaning behind it cuts deeper, straight into the heart of America’s identity crisis. The origins of No Kings Day stem from a desire to reclaim Flag Day from what many perceive as a growing culture of authoritarianism, most visibly tied to President Donald Trump. Oh, and just to make things even more firework-y, June 14 is also Trump’s birthday. This…

So, we’re at the edge of our seats in the Karen Read retrial. After a second round of legal theater that’s been more emotionally charged than a Thanksgiving dinner with your most conspiracy-prone relatives, the jury has the case. They’ve been deliberating since Friday and will be back Monday morning. No verdict yet in Karen Read’s trial, but oh boy—those closing arguments? Absolute fireworks. Let’s rewind. Karen Read is accused of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of a collision that killed her Boston cop boyfriend, John O’Keefe, back in January 2022. The two narratives from…

So here’s the thing—when it comes to Israel’s Iron Dome, the world has been lulled into a sort of Marvel-movie confidence. You hear “Iron Dome,” and you think: invincible force field. But this past Friday, as missiles rained down on Tel Aviv and explosions echoed over Jerusalem, something happened that shook that belief to the core: MISSILES ACTUALLY GOT THROUGH. Not just one or two. At least seven hit their targets, injuring 21 people, including one seriously, in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. Social media lit up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The scariest post? An unofficial Iranian…
