Hawaii is once again making headlines, and not for the beaches, pineapples, or luaus. Nope — the island’s most active volcano, Kilauea, has resumed erupting, and it’s giving locals and scientists a fiery show that’s both breathtaking and terrifying. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the eruption kicked off this week inside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, with lava fountains blasting nearly 100 feet high. Just imagine standing there and watching glowing orange lava ar

If you thought flying was already stressful, Southwest Airlines just made it a whole lot heavier. Beginning January 27, 2026, the Dallas-based airline will require plus-size passengers to purchase two seats upfront if they don’t fit between the armrests of a single seat.

Drive down a street in Gary, Indiana in 2025, and the story of America’s forgotten promises unfolds in front of your eyes. Rows of boarded-up homes. Entire neighborhoods reduced to ghost towns. Schools that once buzzed with children now echo with silence, their windows shattered, their doors chained shut. Churches—once the heartbeat of the community—are left in ruin, their steeples tilting, their pews covered in dust.

Working at a franchised fast-food spot isn’t just a job—it’s a grind that exposes the ugly side of capitalism. Workers become disposable, and profits always take precedence over people. Now, it’s worth saying: not every franchise owner operates this way. There are owners who genuinely try to build positive workplaces, pay a little more, or show real respect for their teams.

2025’s Strange...Why Are So Many of the Wealthy Passing Away This Year? We’re barely halfway through 2025, but if you’ve been scrolling the news, you’ve probably noticed a pattern that feels… unsettling. It’s not just politics, music beefs, or Wall Street drama filling the headlines. The obituary section is stacked with names of the world’s wealthiest — from 100-year-old tycoons who built empires to heirs and entrepreneurs who passed away far too soon.

Let’s talk about something a lot of people don’t want to say out loud: $15 an hour will never be enough! Let’s Do the Real Math On paper, $15/hr looks decent. But let’s break it down: 👉 $15/hr x 40 hrs = $600/week before taxes.👉 That’s about $2,400 a month. Now stop and think about your actual life Rent or mortgage? $1,000–$1,500 gone instantly. Utilities (electric, gas, water, internet, phone)? $300–$400. Groceries? Another $400–$600.

Emani Ellis, the alleged victim, is suing Cardi B over an incident that reportedly turned violent. According to Ellis, Cardi crossed the line, and now it’s in front of a jury to decide if the superstar rapper should be held accountable. For context: Cardi has dealt with lawsuits before (remember the infamous strip club case and that blogger Tasha K defamation drama?), but this one is different. This isn’t about words—it’s about physical assault.

No New Federal Stimulus Checks The IRS has already confirmed it: there are no new federal stimulus checks coming in 2025. Congress hasn’t passed any new law authorizing a fourth round of checks. The final Recovery Rebate Credit (which wrapped up the last stimulus program) had a deadline of April 15, 2025. If you missed that, the money went back to the U.S. Treasury. The IRS “Get My Payment” tool that people used during the pandemic isn’t active anymore. So if you

Whew… this one right here is heavy. It’s not just a crime story—it’s a wake-up call. On July 10, 2025, at a McDonald’s in Eastpointe, Michigan, 26-year-old worker Afeni Badu Muhammad allegedly returned to work after being sent home early—and fatally stabbed her manager, Jennifer Harris, more than 15 times. And the more you dig into this case, the more you realize it wasn’t just about one bad shift. It was about mental health, workplace pressure, and a fast food system that’

You ever open your freezer and wonder if your food is… glowing? Well, that’s basically the energy behind the latest shrimp scandal shaking up the internet. Yep, we’re talking about radioactive shrimp—and not in a cute “mutant superhero” kind of way. What Happened? The FDA just issued a warning that Walmart’s Great Value frozen shrimp—you know, the cheap blue bag everybody’s grandma keeps in the freezer—may have been tainted with cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

Omar Brown Hospitalized After Scary On-Field Injury Last night’s preseason game between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts took a terrifying turn when safety Omar Brown went down after a brutal hit. What looked like just another hard play turned into something way more serious — Brown had to be carted off the field wearing an oxygen mask after suffering what’s now being called a chest contusion. According to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, Omar was rushed to an

Hollywood has lost one of its hidden giants. Dan Tana, the legendary restaurateur behind the West Hollywood hotspot that carried his name, passed away at the age of 90 in Belgrade, Serbia. For decades, Dan Tana’s wasn’t just a place to eat—it was the beating heart of late-night Los Angeles. The little yellow house on Santa Monica Boulevard was where stars, moguls, and everyday locals could sit side by side, sipping wine and digging into veal parm at 2 a.m. It was cozy, class

Social media is buzzing with claims that Dr. Umar Johnson’s long-anticipated Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey (FDMG) Academy will be auctioned off by the state of Delaware later this month. The posts have sparked a wave of shock, side-eye, and heated debate — but how much of this is fact, and how much is just internet smoke?

On August 11, 2025, we lost a true icon. Dr. Danielle Spencer—beloved actress, trailblazer, veterinarian, and survivor—passed away at the age of 60. For many, including myself, this loss feels personal. As someone who grew up loving The Wayans Brothers and the many Black sitcoms that paved the way for them, Dr. Danielle Spencer was part of that rich legacy. She didn’t just entertain us—she inspired us with her wit, her strength, and her ability to reinvent herself.

A company called TNT Crane & Rigging has just been forced to pay a $525,000 settlement after a deeply disturbing federal investigation revealed shocking levels of racism in the workplace. But here’s the kicker: this nightmare unfolded back in 2023. That’s right. In 2023, five Black employees came forward with allegations of racial harassment so severe that it triggered a full-on lawsuit by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)—and in 2025, justice finally c

Whew, baby. Another day, another celebrity finding themselves in the courtroom instead of the spotlight. Faizon Love—yes, Big Worm from Friday and the grumpy Gimbels manager from Elf—is facing some serious heat. And we’re not talking about movie drama. We’re talking about felony assault charges after allegedly turning a credit card reader into a weapon. Chile... not a credit card reader! This whole saga stems from an incident back in August 2024 at the Sheraton Mission Vall

Let’s just go ahead and say what everyone’s thinking: WHAT in the radioactive rodent hell is going on in the UK!? This week, social media blew up after news broke that a 22-inch rat—yes, twenty-two inches from nose to tail—was found lurking inside a home in Normanby, Teesside. You read that right. This thing wasn’t just “big for a rat”—it was cat-sized. The photos? Horrifying. The reactions? Understandably dramatic. But beyond the memes and nightmares, this rodent is more

So we know by now that the dating world is already messy and even just straight CRAZY, but a new app called TEA is stirring up more drama than solutions. Marketed as a place where women can “spill the tea” about men they’ve dated, the app allows users to post unverified stories about men, including personal details and even claims about their sexual health (STDs). While this might sound like a way to warn others, it crosses dangerous legal and ethical lines.

Get ready to vibe from your couch because Lollapalooza 2025 is coming straight to your screen—exclusively on Hulu! That’s right, Hulu is onc

Whew, y’all—when I say 2025 keeps finding new ways to shake the table, I mean it. The streets—and the tweets—have been buzzing with news tha
