For some travelers, the idea of sleeping in hotel rooms is a little iffy. After all, it’s a room that has probably housed hundreds or thousands or even tens of thousands of people over the years without the furniture ever changing. For most of us, it’s best not to think about it too much.
However, one Florida woman has a PSA about something that touches too delicate an area in our bodies for us not to pay attention to: your face.

David Corenswet and Jonathan Bailey did an Actors on Actors interview together. And a fairly reasonable observation came up and many online were mad that…Corenswet pointed out that Bailey maintained his masculinity while being held by Cynthia Erivo?
Before we dive in, Corenswet was making a good point. Did he word it strangely? Sure. But when you actually think about what he is saying, it makes sense. Corenswet compared both Superman and Wicked: For Good through their kissing scenes. Both Superman (Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) as well Elphaba (Erivo) and Fiyero (Bailey) have kisses while they’re levitating.

Donald Trump is probably not having the best week. Since the beginning of December, the United States President and his most dedicated army of sycophants have been embroiled in one controversy after another, which has only made the Republican Party even less popular than it already was.
This week alone, there has been significant discussion surrounding key Trump officials, including the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Kash Patel, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. While Patel and Noem have been in the public eye due to rumours of their potential firings over the mismanagement of their respective sectors, Hegseth has been making headlines for his “double-strike” incident in the Caribbean Sea, which could lead to his removal from his role and possible penalties if he is found guilty.

With 22 days left for ACA subsidies to expire, Donald Trump was questioned about his healthcare plans again on Monday. As usual, he didn’t have one and instead chose to blame Obamacare for the 100th time.
When a reporter reminded Trump that healthcare premiums will skyrocket for 22 million Americans by January, he immediately responded, “That’s because Obamacare is so bad.” Not because subsidies are ending. Not because Republicans have stalled extension bills. Just “Obamacare bad,” like it’s a magic spell to escape questions.

Donald Trump pardoned Henry Cuellar and his wife on Dec. 3, claiming their prosecution was a political hit job by Biden. But the real political play was Trump’s. He thought freeing Cuellar would buy loyalty and maybe even a party switch. Instead, Cuellar walked out of the courthouse and right back to the Democrats.
After ranting about how Biden weaponized the DoJ in the Dec. 3 post, Trump signed off his message to Cuellar with, “Your nightmare is finally over!” His post read like a note of kindness, shocking everyone that he’d suddenly grown a heart for a Democrat. But Trump being Trump, people didn’t have to wonder too long why he was being kind.

It’s no secret that the Trump administration hates immigrants. Since the beginning of his term as the President of the United States, Donald Trump has been launching repeated attacks on the immigrant population of his country in the name of ridding it of alleged “illegal aliens.”
Since January this year, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under the orders of Donald Trump, has been conducting raids throughout the United States to identify “illegal aliens.” These raids, well, at least a majority of them are being undertaken in the most inhuman way possible. People who are suspected of being undocumented immigrants are being dragged out of their homes, workplaces, and cars and being literally assaulted in front of everyone, before they can verify their identity. It doesn’t make things any better when you come to see that the individuals on whom these atrocities are being committed are often picked based on external features. Therefore, ICE officers are far more likely to pull up a black, brown, or asian looking individual out on the road for questioning than they are to pull up a white person for the same, thereby making way for an America where racism is normal.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been on her best “reformed conservative” behavior lately. The pearls, the soft interviews, and the sudden concern for “unity” almost convinced everyone she was a changed woman. Her whole NO-MAGA act was going great, and then she decided to go on 60 Minutes.
When host Lesley Stahl held up the mirror to Greene about her past, she instantly turned to her old ways. While the congresswoman was lecturing about toxic political culture on 60 Minutes, Stahl pointed out her hypocrisy. “But you contributed to that. You were out there pounding, insulting people,” she said straight to Greene’s face. Her response? Lunge back into MAGA outrage.

Despite receiving backlash for insulting female reporters every time they pose a difficult question, Trump isn’t changing his ways. This time, ABC’s Rachel Scott pressed him for clarity on his boat-strike video promise. But Grumpy Grandpa couldn’t take it and went straight to meltdown mode.
During the press meeting on Monday, Dec. 8, ABC reporter Rachel Scott was the only one in the room asking the questions Trump didn’t want to hear. And everything was fine until she brought up his promise from last week to release the boat-strike video. That’s when the gears in his brain seemed to stall.

icons10in20 are rare and always fun! This one is round 41, and it took me much longer than I thought, especially the icons that ended up being Kpop Demon Hunter icons. I'd been planning on making a whole Wu Lei set again, but those steadfastly refused. :D I hope you like the set!

Following decades of ups and downs, a miracle has been happening in the world of superhero comics: new crossover comics between DC and Marvel. After fans were treated to a two-issue meeting between Batman and Deadpool earlier this fall, the next two will center around Superman and Spider-Man, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their first meeting in 1976’s Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man.
That occasion alone was already enough to get people hyped… but now, the official lineup has fans buzzing. On Tuesday, DC revealed new details surrounding Superman/Spider-Man #1, ahead of its debut in comic shops on March 25, 2026. The issue’s main crossover story will be brought to life by Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez, as Clark Kent and Peter Parker chase the same dangerous mystery, one tied to the villainous machinations of Brainiac and Doctor Octopus. Naturally, their investigation quickly turns into a full-blown superhero crisis once Superman and Spider-Man step into the spotlight.

I think everyone knew that United States President Donald Trump and his Republican friends were massive hypocrites when it comes to their belief systems, that is, if they have any at all. However, what many people weren’t aware of was the levels to which they can stoop to fit into that narrative.
Recently, JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, who allegedly has no other job than to follow Trump’s orders all day, disclosed that he was selectively racist. He didn’t say it directly, of course, but he hinted at it through his comments. In an episode of Pod Force One with Miranda Devine, aired back in October but now gaining significant attention online, Vance discussed why it was “totally reasonable” and “acceptable” for Americans to want to live in neighbourhoods with people who look similar or speak the same language.

President Trump must’ve had a rough weekend, because his Monday morning rant was a meltdown for the ages. In a single post, he dragged Marjorie Taylor Greene and demanded apologies from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes. Oh, and he went right back to Hunter Biden’s laptop like it’s still 2020.
Trump’s routine start to the week was a full-scale rant before most people had even finished their coffee. He kicked off Monday morning with a Truth Social post that reads like a pent-up rage note from therapy. By 9 a.m., he had already attacked Greene, 60 Minutes, Paramount, and Lesley Stahl.

For the last few days leading up to Thanksgiving, shoppers across the U.S. began reporting a strange issue at craft store Michaels: products no longer had prices attached to them.
Customers say entire sections of shelves were missing price tags, leaving them unsure of what they were actually being charged at checkout.

Australia is banning social media for users under the age of 16. The new legislation aims to protect vulnerable populations from harmful content. But, most free speech scholars are leery at best of these kinds of policies. Yes, there are dangerous elements of the online experience, and we need some safeguards for children against predators and the like. However, some are probably wondering why we don’t start with these massive platforms to begin with.
The BBC’s reporting on this phenomenon lists Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Snapchat, Kik, and Twitch as domains affected. While parents and children won’t be punished for running afoul of this law, the businesses in question will. (This is even before we get to questions about the efficacy of such a move. Anyone who has spent five seconds on the Internet knows that there are approximately 1 million ways to get what you’re looking for.)
