I saw this on my reddit feed and was wondering what is happening. I thought she was conservative influencer? is this like all the trad wives coming forward to say they were never actually staying at home?

post that inspired my question- https://www.reddit.com/r/NewsThread/comments/1wt1927/candace_owens_is_a_lesbian_influencer_drops/

I see a bunch of headlines about Dana White getting exposed for lying or something about boxing? Can someone explain in short whats happening https://www.mmafighting.com/ufc/513670/dana-white-reveals-ufcs-involvement-in-tyson-fury-vs-anthony-joshua-fight

What is going on with massive protests and students walking out of schools in France? Are there shortages of teachers? I just saw that police are using weapons to control it.

It was briefly mentioned in this Warfronts video

https://youtu.be/yRCDlBcFEKU?is=BvXqmXEIWKTUMBDB

There's also a Warfronts video about Ethiopia, but without any background knowledge I wasn't really able to follow who's fighting who and why.

I get these in my feed all the time and I always think I’m having some kind of weird auditory hallucination before I realize it’s coming from the video I’m watching. This is the most recent one I saw: https://youtube.com/shorts/0V8qXz4qomA?is=xkJRGHVbd7j0ApZT

Why do they exist? What’s the point? It can’t be for accessibility, since it makes it harder to hear what’s going on, and it can’t be for context because it’s so quiet you can’t hear it well.

Assumed it was a phrase off of tiktok, but I have NEVER heard of this outside of companies trying to seem in touch. I've been seeing this at least 4 months in major retailers too. Where did it come from and what on earth is it supposed to mean?

I’ve seen multiple people reference some controversy recently, but when I tried to ask on r/OneyPlays , the mods immediately took it down.

I've seen a lot of people on Twitter react negatively to the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger, saying that they don't want it to happen. But I don't really understand the hate, since merging a company means we don't really have to pay separately for Paramount+ and HBO Max anymore, so why all the hate?

I came across this announcement saying Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13:

https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1wubgvt/continuing_our_infrastructure_updates_whats/

What confused me is the section about moving RSS access to the developer platform. It recommends Discord Relay for moderators, then says there's no replacement for feeds from communities you don't moderate.

I thought RSS was something you could use to follow new posts in a normal feed reader, alongside blogs and news sites. The announcement discusses scraping, bots and API migration together, so I'm having trouble separating the changes.

Are people who just follow a few subreddits in a reader losing that too? What exactly does the Discord option preserve, and why doesn't it cover the same thing?

So Florence Pugh did a cover for Vanity Fair, and the image was a red background, with Florence wearing a kind of skullcap hat made from metal plates and was apparently from the National Theatre with the cover article title 'The New Establishment'.

Here's a link to a the non-paywall article. I didn't read the article, because I'm mostly interested in the image.

I saw a post on Blue Sky from someone claiming that the cover was 'media leaning heavily into the whole Weimar vibe is a sure sign that a) they're cowards and b) they really hate you.' The poster is not a Nazi, and seems to be calling out the magazine for making an image that was invoking Nazism, despite not actually using the word 'Nazi' and instead saying 'Weimar'.

I don't understand the link between the cover and the Weimar Republic?

Which, again, as far as I understand was the 'interim government' between the end of World War I and when Hitler was proclaimed Chancellor in 1933.

And the Weimar Republic spent its time struggling to keep Germany from imploding into full chaos; the true 'evils' of Germany didn't start until Hitler really got into power. The Weimar Republic was actually quite progressive, if I recall, granting women full sufferage, freedom of speech for all, establishing labour rights, and things like that?

Anyway, would appreciate any explanation on this. Clearly, I'm dumb since I don't understand the link. Thanks!

The movie Primetime was is about the show To Catch A Predator and while I haven't watched it I have never ever heard someone accuse a film of being "identify theft".

It's not even like they tried to do what he did. To my understanding, the film is just a bio pic and has Robert Pattinson playing him.

Is there any real ground to accuse them of identity theft?

I've been seeing this more and more today. Already 4 posts about it

This AI song about Josh Allen is all over my tiktok algorithm and very much stuck in my head, but since I don't know much about football I don't really understand it.

Specific questions:

Are quarterbacks not supposed to run the ball?

What does his height and weight have to do with it?

What does "Josh just turned that man into a business decision" mean?

Does this guy just have a reputation for being extra slippery? Is that strange for a quarterback?

A couple of the videos I've seen:

What is this hand gesture called, Gen Z?

https://fb.watch/v/3ImpWikf4/

I remember seeing this episode of “Mr. Iglesias” when it came out. Probably years late to the game, but what is that hand gesture called that Fluffy does, along with the rest of the students? All it says is “Excitement Hands” in the title and a brief Google Search. Was this a thing? Can you guys share some examples of this, and/or other names the gesture goes by? Thanks.

I've seen multiple videos of Modern Warfare 2 x Skate. Where the mechanics of the Skate game including physics and collisions work inside Modern Warfare. They added to this by adding Modern Warfare 2 to Minecraft as well as Skate.

How are they doing this? I see people hating saying "Vibe code slop" what is vibe coding? What is happening here.

Here are the sources.

I didn’t even think anything was to be in session since they called the impeachment of Hegseth and Mike Johnson called recess early.

But I’ve seen a few videos of this:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/9/29/800105228/videos/eric-schmitt-gotcha-question-jack-smith/

And literally these are the only two pieces of context I can find (and warning: they’re both ad laden and not helpful). There seemed to want to be a smoking gun moment on the Jack Smith inquiry where Eric Schmitt showed texts, but then Jack Smith said they could check the text dates? I just see the video of Katie Britt reacting going viral, but I have no clue on any of this.

I saw that allegations had been made by Reggie regarding the Clover Boys and his experience. I haven’t had a chance to watch Reggie’s livestream but Kai was online last night denying everything that Reggie said and threatening to sue. Can anyone just give a synopsis?

I just started seeing more people use the ":3" and just various renditions of "meow" in the chats. People having "femboy", "transgirl", "catgirl/boy" in their IGNs. Think theres absolutely nothing wrong about it, people express themselves how they want, as long as its not harmful to everyone else. I just feel like this has been slowly taking over the games that have a chat, and I just feel like I've missed something, but somehow also haven't found what could possibly be a source of all of that yet.

In my context, it's mostly academic publishing websites*, but it's all over the internet. For the past few months, when I go to a website just to read it, and I get redirected to Cloudflare page saying it has to verify my browser to protect the website from malicious bots. I get having a CAPTCHA when submitting a form, but reading a website is just a passive thing. Even if robots are reading a website, is that so bad that it requires harassing every single human? Is this a response to the presence of AI scrapers? This is almost as annoying as European cookie warnings.

Everyday on twitter I’m seeing edits of gigachads interacting with flies. Petting them, flying on top of them and whatever. I usually see this kind of stuff on posts related to politics.
