As Lady Gaga prepares to take the stage at the 2026 Grammy Awards , a separate conversation threatens to cast a shadow over her act: her mentions in the Epstein files released January 30. For many online, the fact that her name appears several times in the 3,000-page document threatens to ruin her reputation , as critics lump her in alongside controversial figures also mentioned, such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and others....

Aaaaagh! Monsters! They’re in our phones! And they’re trying to get out! Aaaaagh! But don’t panic just yet because they’re not real monsters—they’re ‘Phone Buddies!’ Incredibly colorful and imaginative illustrations of fantastical beings by artist Andrew Rae who drew them on photographs taken by his friend. He wanted to present cellphones as portals to other worlds, as bridges between our world and the digital world. It’s also a commentary about the amount of time we spend looking at our phone screens, completely zoning out real life in favor of a pixelated version of reality....

It’s not about who we are or what circumstances we were born into. It’s about what we do with the time we are given. This seems truer than ever when you take a look at the marvelous story of how an abandoned baby grew up to become a successful inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. There might be some parallels with Bruce Wayne/Batman and Tony Stark/Ironman here. 30-year-old Freddie Figgers is currently the CEO of a 62 million dollar company that he started when he was just a teenager....

The purgatory of the night shift is basically modern-day torture. It’s a vast, quiet desert of time where your only companions are the hum of the vending machine and the dregs of your Netflix queue. You reach a point of boredom so profound, so all-consuming, that any distraction, no matter how small, feels like a gift from the heavens. For one hotel receptionist, that gift arrived in the form of a hilariously obvious scam email....

Do you know why the ancient Romans loved gladiator fights so much? No, not because they were so bloodthirsty – at least not more than you and me. Betting is what really attracted the gambling Romans to fights, and some brave bookmakers even took bets on the emperor’s reaction to the fate of the losing fighter… Why am I telling you all this, you may ask? Here’s why – even ancient bookmakers don’t look as cynical as the relatives of the user u/effie389 , the author of our story today....

I get it; weddings are a huge deal in everyone’s lives, and everyone wants everything to be perfect on their special day. Sometimes, however, the bridal couple takes things a tad bit too far, and their ridiculous behavior even leads to a highly disappointing event. I mean, just look at this bride who expected the “flower dog” to be shaved to match the ocean-themed wedding . The bridesmaid, who owned the doggo, flat out refused, and chaos just rained down on the ceremony....

While they’re an inevitable part of the employment process , going through job interviews is often a very painful process. There can be so much back and forth between you and a potential employer before even finding out if you’ll be hired, and it can be exhausting trying to prove why you’re a good fit for a company that you simply want to receive a paycheck from. So why do we suffer through interviews even when we realize that we won’t be a good fit?...

Imagine spending five years in and out of doctors’ surgeries and hospitals because your mom is convinced you have various disorders and diseases. Constantly on medication, or having tests run, with little chance for a normal life. That’s the reality for one 15-year-old who has been diagnosed with several health conditions since she was 10. All because her mother lied to doctors about her symptoms. The teen recently anonymously reached out to medical professionals online, begging for help....

I’ll go first! A couple of years ago, I had two vivid dreams of getting SA’d. Which one? The most recent was that someone was coming in my back window, next to my bed, with a knife. I could see the guy’s face plain as day and was trying to push him back out of the window. It scared me awake in a panic. Once I reminded myself I was at home, with a spike topped brick fence and bars on my windows, I was able to get back to sleep (it was that way when I moved in)....

I’m Zahariz, an adventurer and a filmmaker from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I’ve recently completed my 6 week journey crossing Kyrgyzstan solo on my 2 horses. I rode through the wild mountains of Issykkul and the Naryn region. I fell down from the horse twice, fell together with both horses in a deep river and they also ran away from me twice! I had to chase them for nearly 3km. The journey was challenging but exciting....

I have a passion for cycling and photography. Recently, I began to find an artistic treasure in the murals of the streets of the places I visited. This is just a small sample of the more than 100 images I have photographed, all exceptionally beautiful and original. Report Report Report Report This mural is in the middle of nowhere. Among the first fields that the revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata distributed among the peasants....

Following the heartbreaking passing of James Van Der Beek on February 11 after a battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer , his former castmates from Dawson’s Creek have been left grappling with his loss.

Katie Holmes shared a photographed handwritten letter on Instagram to honor James Van Der Beek, emphasizing the “sacred” creative space they shared....

Privacy in your own home can feel like a basic right, but what happens when that space is constantly being invaded? Living next to neighbors often comes with small compromises, but sometimes when boundaries are crossed repeatedly, it leaves the other party feeling frustrated. Today’s Original Poster (OP) recently faced a situation many people might find familiar. A neighbor’s child repeatedly climbed a fence to look into his garden, so after repeated requests for it to stop, they decided to take matters into their own hands....

Sometimes people fall in love with a person before they realize the depth of their flaws. And sometimes they turn out to be not just simple flaws, but whole personality defects. Like in this story, where a woman’s “lovely” fiancé had a problem with her poor mental health , which he viewed as a flaw of hers, even though it isn’t really one. But an even worse part was that this fiancé of hers was far from perfect himself—in fact, he was one of those who carried something more sinister than just a flaw with his personality....

Entitled people always push to get their own way. They go to huge extents to get what they think they deserve, sometimes even at the expense of others. Many demand extra services or try to force people to bend the rules for them. Luckily, entitled citizens aren’t excluded from following the rules. One such demanding man finally got what was coming to him when his mechanic played a clever prank on him....

When it comes to building their dream home, people have a lot of different ideas. Some choose comfortable and small bungalows, others opt for luxurious mansions. However, there a handful of those to decide to ditch the traditional architecture and build something completely different, for instance, a container house. That’s exactly what designer Will Breaux did and now he’s a proud owner of a house built solely out of shipping containers....

I waited a long time for the right conditions to be able to continue my series of the foggy city. One evening I decided to explore new places and at the same time visit a few famous places. I had a head full of ideas and wanted to implement them! I like the pictures of the man with a lantern on the bridge the most. So I invite you to watch the next part of the misty stories....

I like to complicate things when I can. When I decided to learn how to make pies from scratch as a way to blow off steam from my stressful film producing job, I figured, why not add an extra three hours to an already arduous process? Experimenting with creating in new media keeps me sharp, and the often nerdy subject matter of my cake art makes me smile (and then feel really bad for destroying it with all the eating, but hey, it’s the circle of life....
