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…

Okay, let’s talk about Pepe Garcia—the 6’3” Spanish charmer who just cannonballed into the Love Island USA villa and immediately got social media doing backflips. While everyone’s out here debating his looks (yes, people really called him “Sid the Science Kid”—savage), some of us want to know something far more crucial: What team did this man actually play for before becoming the Villa’s resident abs-on-display personal trainer? Let’s get the sports gossip straight. Pepe Garcia, full name Jose Garcia, isn’t just another shirtless gym bro. Before founding his fitness brand Pro Gainz and giving motivational speeches via his Instagram, @pepe.garcia15,…

Okay, so we need to talk. I mean really talk. Because in a world where AI is writing Drake songs, billionaires are trying to colonize Mars, and people are still fighting over pineapple on pizza, actress Sydney Sweeney just added a new entry to the “Did That Just Happen?” list: She’s bottling her bathwater. But like, as soap, and selling it. Yes. That’s real. The “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You” star, beloved internet crush, and reigning queen of viral moments, has teamed up with Dr. Squatch to launch a limited-edition bar soap called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss. For $8 a bar,…

Let me ask you something. If I told you that a drug made from human bones is circulating in West Africa, killing a dozen people a week, and somehow a 21-year-old ex-flight attendant from London is now stuck in a Sri Lankan prison because of it, would you believe me? Because this actually happened. Charlotte May Lee, from South London, was arrested earlier this month at Bandaranaike Airport in Colombo after customs officers allegedly found over 100 pounds of a synthetic drug called kush in her luggage. Not your average street drug—this one reportedly includes tranquilizers, mystery chemicals, and, yes,…

So, France’s budget minister, Amélie de Montchalin, just went viral, but not for passing a law, dodging taxes, or making a stirring parliamentary speech. No, the internet gods chose a very different reason to shine their spotlight: She was caught on camera… picking her nose, and then—brace yourself…eating it. Yep, that happened. In parliament. On camera. In HD clarity. In the now-viral clip, Amélie de Montchalin is seen flipping through documents in what looks like a fairly mundane session. She’s dressed in an elegant white jacket with a scarf, channeling every bit of French chic. But somewhere between budget lines…

So, you board a flight in 2026, shuffle down the aisle, and instead of collapsing into your usual crumb-filled seat, you’re directed to what looks suspiciously like a padded barstool at a rollercoaster ride. Congratulations, you’re flying standing class. Yes, budget airlines are reportedly on the brink of launching “standing-only” seats, officially called Skyrider 2.0, as early as next year. And no, this isn’t an Onion article. This is real aviation news from our dear friends at Aviointeriors, an Italian manufacturer who seems to have looked at medieval torture devices and thought, “You know what would make flying better? Less…

Alright, let me walk you through the wildest (and possibly the weirdest) thing the internet threw at us this week: A video of a lion skydiving with a man. Yes, an actual lion, soaring through the skies like it just ditched the jungle life for a GoPro and adrenaline rush. No, this isn’t the plot of a new DreamWorks movie. The video, originally posted by @travelling.shillong on Instagram, shows what appears to be a lion mid-air, free-falling in tandem with a human skydiver. It quickly racked up more than 35 million views, along with a chaotic mix of reactions, and…

So this is one of those moments where irony meets tragedy, takes a selfie, and posts it with the hashtag #TooReal. Scott Adams, the man who brought us Dilbert, the once universally loved comic strip skewering the absurdities of cubicle life, has just announced he’s battling the same aggressive prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden. Except, unlike Biden, Adams says he might not make it past the summer. The news came from his own podcast, Real Coffee with Scott Adams, where he didn’t sugarcoat a thing. “I’m just the dying cancer guy now,” he said, describing his condition as…

So…what happens when the person you call for help turns out to be the one you need protecting from? That’s the cruel twist at the heart of this latest gut-punch out of Edmonton. Constable Hunter Robinz, a 39-year-old Edmonton police officer and former soldier, has just been sentenced to six months in jail for using his badge to prey on vulnerable women he encountered while on duty. Yes, you read that right — six months. Not years, not even one full year, just six months. From 2017 to 2019, Robinz used his position of authority to approach at least eight…

Well folks, Canada just made a pretty wild pivot in the tech-politics world: They’ve officially appointed a Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation. Yep, AI now has a seat at the government table, and leading the charge is Evan Solomon—former journalist, political commentator, and now freshly elected MP for Toronto Centre. If that name rings a bell, it might be from his past media gigs or the occasional Twitter drama (one user joked that if Evan has intelligence, it’s probably artificial—but hey, who among us hasn’t reposted a bad meme?). So what’s the big deal? This is the first…
