Hey, did you know that James Charles is a douchebag? Last week, he mocked a woman woman who was laid off from Spirit Airlines who sent him a link to her GoFundMe. Charles called her a “lazy piece of shit,” and snapped, “You know what else would help you? Getting another job.” He also said, “You’re entitled because you think that influencers and celebrities should fund your life for you.” Viewers were rightly pissed at him, since, you know, viewers fund the lives of influencers and celebrities. He apologized, but the damage has been done. The Spirit employee in question has published a private apology that James Charles DM’d her.
Would you press the red button, or the blue button? (Apparently this blew up two weeks ago and I completely missed it. Oh, well.)
As we read earlier this week on ONTD, TikTok is in a tizzy about Olivia Rodrigo’s babydoll dresses. I thought the blue ruffly one was supposed to be kind of a rococo vibe? But, then, I am a #rodrigold.
A man was filmed throwing a large rock at the head of an endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Witnesses filmed him and told him that they contacted the police; he replied that he was rich enough to pay any fines. Happily, authorities arrested him and he now faces up to one year in jail and up to $50,000 in fines. Glad you can afford it, asshole.
That latest viral, shitty husband: the husband who put all of his wife’s shoes in the washing machine in a supposedly nice gesture. The wife posted it, then deleted the original video and defended him, of course.
A high school student in Philadelphia posted a viral TikTok in which his classmates struggled to read words such as “silhouette” and “extraordinary.” Now, he claims that the school board is trying to expel him.
Tennessee authorities have charged influencer Chud the Builder with attempted murder for shooting someone in an altercation. He also got shot during the fight.
Meaf. Youaf.
Here’s a trend that I hate: women posting their boyfriends’ “rules for the summer” for them. You send your boyfriend a text of this template and he is supposed to respond with whether you are allowed to do them.
There’s another annoying viral trend where influencers use AI to make it look like they are on the jumbotron at a Korean baseball game. People are calling it extremely vain, since a), it uses AI, b), it involves influencers setting up this shot so that they can pretend that a jumbotron accidentally caught them happening to look candid and attractive.
You will soon be able to buy Dunkin Donuts’ 48 ounce BUCKET of iced coffee.
God help us, Trader Joe’s is releasing new mini insulated bags and people are already freaking the fuck out about them.

The top viral sound of the week is “Earrings,” by Malcolm Todd, which was also number two on Spotify’s Top 50 USA. I kind of dig it. Some Steve Lacy meets Glass Animals vibes?
Once in a while TikTok really does make the right queens viral. This week, it is Debra and Lida Bida Boda Butt. I don’t think Lida Bida Boda Butt has a damn brain cell left in that noggin, but she sure is…um, cute-ish?

Would you push the red button or the blue button?
