Let's be real - cyberbullying isn't just some "kids being kids" situation anymore. We're talking about a full-blown crisis that's literally destroying lives, and it's hitting our urban communities the hardest. The numbers are scary, the mental health impacts are devastating, and honestly? It's time we had this uncomfortable conversation. Here's the tea: cyberbullying rates have absolutely exploded. We've gone from 33.6% of young people experiencing cyberbullying in 2016 to a

Let's be real: if you've been feeling like your mental health has been on a roller coaster lately, you're definitely not alone. Here's some tea that might help explain what's going on: nearly one in 10 U.S. adults reported experiencing a mental health crisis in the past year. That's almost 9% of us out here struggling, and that number has been climbing faster than gas prices. But here's what's really got me heated: while we're all out here trying to survive, the connection be

Let's be real – the wellness industry is full of expensive nonsense. Crystal healing sessions that cost more than your rent? Detox teas that promise to fix your entire life? Manifestation journals priced like luxury handbags? Bestie, we need to talk. Here's the tea: 76% of Americans report experiencing physical symptoms caused by stress, yet we're spending billions on wellness trends that have zero scientific backing. Meanwhile, the most effective mental health strategies are

Wild night at The Game's 46th birthday bash in Hollywood crowd STUNNED as he grabs the mic and chants 'Free R. Kelly!' and 'Free Diddy!' while joking about baby oil and 'freaky homies.' Is this standing up, or way too tone-deaf given the serious charges?

Stockton is a city that has fought hard for every inch of progress — fighting for safety, fighting for investment, fighting for community stability in the face of everything from economic decline to generational violence. But nothing prepared residents for what happened at a family birthday party this week. A night meant to celebrate a child turned into one of the most painful and devastating mass shootings in California this year.

If you ever had an AT&T wireless account — even years ago — you might be sitting on money you didn’t even know you were owed. In a year where consumers are dealing with higher prices, subscription fatigue, and nonstop security leaks, this one quietly dropped into the headlines and sent millions of people scrambling: AT&T has agreed to a $177 million class-action settlement tied to two massive data breaches that exposed customer information to hackers.

A Clay County family says they’ll never look at food delivery the same way again after their home security camera captured a DoorDash driver picking up a dropped chicken wing from the ground, licking his fingers, wiping the mess with his shoe, and then delivering the order like nothing happened. The footage, recorded in early November 2025 and verified by News4JAX, shows the driver walking up to the family’s doorstep with a bag in hand. As he reaches down to set it on the

Creators were already annoyed with declining reach, confusing algorithm shifts, and inconsistent payouts — and then November 10, 2025 happened. Without warning, Meta quietly pushed out a test version of “Verified+”, a pricier, more aggressive subscription tier that promises “enhanced distribution,” “priority visibility,” and “deeper creator analytics.” In plain English: pay more or get buried.

Texas got a rude awakening on November 20, 2025 — the kind of freeze that reminds people that winter in this state doesn’t announce itself. It just arrives, snaps the temperature downward, and exposes every weakness Texas leaders swore they had already fixed. Before dawn even hit, Dallas, Houston, and huge stretches of Central Texas were sitting under a blanket of icy air while ERCOT pushed out conservation alerts like a heartbeat monitor.

The 4-day workweek has floated around the internet for years — part workers’ fantasy, part corporate nightmare. But in early November, the thing that workers joked would “never happen in America” actually walked itself straight into Congress. On November 7, 2025, lawmakers dropped a bill that would officially redefine full-time work from 40 hours to 32, without cutting anyone’s pay. No “compressed” schedules, no hidden fine print, no “prove your productivity first.” Just a f

Atlanta has seen political drama, infrastructure issues, and budget crises before — but nothing like this. For the past year, residents across the city have been begging officials to take their complaints seriously. They showed up at town halls. They called their councilmembers. They spent hours on hold with the Department of Watershed Management. They uploaded screenshots of bills to social media. They compared notes with neighbors. They pleaded for answers.

At this point, borrowers in America are running on fumes. Every month brings a new twist, a new court filing, a new political stunt, and the same devastating outcome: still no real relief. And November 2025 just poured salt directly into the wound. On November 12, 2025, a federal judge slammed the brakes on the Biden administration’s newest student loan forgiveness plan — a plan that millions of borrowers were counting on, budgeting around, emotionally preparing for, and

Silicon Valley hasn’t been this chaotic since the Facebook Cambridge Analytica days… and honestly, this might be even worse. November 2025 has the tech world acting like it’s trapped inside a messy divorce where everyone is arguing over who gets custody of the GPU supply, the innovation pipeline, and the future of the global labor market.

The internet barely had time to blink, let alone recover from the chaos of holiday season announcements, when Beyoncé decided to flip the global mood like a switch. On November 13, 2025, without warning, buildup, or even the courtesy of a teaser trailer, she detonated the internet with six new tour dates dropping in December — yes, December, as in four weeks from now.

When most people think of Idaho, they imagine serene lakes, small towns, and quiet mornings. But in 2021, a gruesome murder shattered that peace and revealed one of the most disturbing criminal cases in the state’s history — the story of James D. Russell, a man whose actions were so unthinkable they made national headlines and left a community reeling. This isn’t your typical true-crime story. It’s a deep dive into how something so dark can grow in plain sight — and how a ma

When politics, power, and personal ambition collide, things can get messy and in Stockton, California, that mess has just spilled out of City Hall and into full public view. Mayor Christina Fugazi has officially ordered an independent review committee to investigate Vice Mayor Jason Lee, whose actions, affiliations, and decisions have triggered a wave of ethical, financial, and safety concerns that now threaten to shake Stockton’s political core. At the heart of the cont

In my personal opinion...ALLEDGELY...When The Breakfast Club  first hit the airwaves in 2010, it was a revolution. Urban radio had never seen anything quite like it — unapologetically Black, loud, confrontational, and funny as hell. Hosted by DJ Envy, Charlamagne tha God, and then Angela Yee (now replaced by comedian Jess Hilarious), the trio became household names across the U.S., bridging the gap between hip-hop culture, politics, and everyday Black life. Fifteen years late

Twitch streaming—where entertainment and reality collide in unpredictable ways—few stories have shaken the platform like the resurfaced incident involving streamers Zoe Spencer and Nina Lin. What began as a “playful” IRL collaboration in May 2024 has reignited outrage in October 2025, revealing deep cracks in Twitch’s moral foundation and reigniting debates about consent, gender double standards, and accountability in digital spaces. At the heart of the controversy is FaZe

When the cameras roll inside the Black church, the results can be unpredictable — sometimes inspiring, sometimes explosive. But few moments have lit up social media this fall like the now-viral video from Bishop Marvin Winans’ Perfecting Church in Detroit. In that clip, recorded during the congregation’s annual “Day of Giving,” Bishop Winans appears to scold a church member who stepped forward with a $1,235 donation after he called for $2,000 pledges. “That is only $1,200 …

This morning, millions of Americans woke up to what felt like a digital blackout. Phones wouldn’t connect. Apps wouldn’t load. Websites froze mid-transaction. Around 8 a.m. ET, major connectivity disruptions began rippling across the country, affecting AT&T and Amazon Web Services (AWS) — two of the most critical pillars of U.S. communications and cloud infrastructure.

Schizophrenia. Even hearing the word can stir discomfort, fear, confusion. For many, it’s wrapped in myths: “split personality,” unpredictable danger, permanent incapacity. But the reality is deeper, more complex—and more human. In communities like mine, we talk about hustle, survival, trauma, resilience—but we often don’t talk about severe mental illness the way we do physical illness. And that omission comes at a cost. If you are reading this and you—or someone you love—

The internet was supposed to be our great equalizer — a place where everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from, could speak freely and connect without limits. But somewhere between the hashtags and the highlight reels, it became something darker. Today, online spaces have turned into breeding grounds for cruelty — a digital arena where people tear each other apart for likes, retweets, and viral moments. From fat-shaming and classism to the mocking of mental ill

When Washington Shuts Down, America Slows Down Every time Congress plays political tug-of-war over the federal budget, the economy takes a deep breath — and then holds it. A government shutdown isn’t just a headline; it’s a full-blown economic disruption that ripples from the halls of D.C. to small-town grocery stores. When the federal government shuts down, it’s because lawmakers can’t agree on how to fund operations. That means “nonessential” government workers are furlou
