John Fetterman Could Not Resist One More Comeback Over His Congressional Hoodie, This Time About Meatball DeSantis

Did anyone who voted for John Letterman really expect and/or want him to be wearing a suit everyday in the Senate? Dude seems exceptionally happy now that he’s dressing like himself again — in cargo shorts and a hoodie — and this is also how he dressed on the campaign trail. He’s giving people want they voted for, and he’s showing up and getting the job done, rather than scrambling up the Capitol stairs while missing an important vote.

Speaking of Lauren Boebert, she previously called out Fetterman’s “unbecoming” congressional hoodie, which probably made him really enjoy issuing an excellent response to a comparison of his clothing with her Beetlejuice scandal. Fetterman also pushed back at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bashing of his clothing, and now, it looks like Meatball Ron DeSantis wants a piece of the action.

On the campaign trail, DeSantis actually went there to complain about DeSantis’ “like, sweatshirts and hoodies and shorts,” which he likened to “dumbing down.”

And Fetterman had his finger ready on the Twitter button: “I dress like he campaigns.”

This is funny and a fitting comeback, even though it’s not entirely accurate. Whereas Fetterman looks very comfy in his choice of clothing, DeSantis never looks comfortable doing anything. He cannot even look natural while eating pizza, so there’s probably no hope for him giving up those robot ways. Whereas Fetterman has no need for “crudités” or fancy clothing. Still, good comeback.

Florida May Somehow Get Even Worse Now That Matt Gaetz Is Reportedly ‘100%’ Into Running For Governor In 2026

In 2021 Floridians reëlected Ron DeSantis, which is a shame because judging from his 2024 presidential campaign, it looks like they’re stuck with him. But look on the bright side: Things could be worse. They could be ruled by incompetent impeacher and general annoyance Matt Gaetz. Alas, turns out that nightmare could become a reality.

As per NBC News, Gaetz — who’s long been on the shortlist of possible DeSantis successors, presumably even when he was being investigated for ties to a sex trafficking ring — spent part of the weekend allegedly talking up his gubernatorial prospects. During festivities for future speaker of the Florida House held at a Tallahassee Marriott, Gaetz was seen “kind of holding court” as he allegedly talked up a 2026 run.

“There was a lot of talk about it at the reception last night, and Gaetz was telling people to basically expect him to be in,” a longtime Florida GOP lobbyist claimed.

Alas, Gaetz poured some cold water on that one, sort of, not really. “Many did encourage me to consider running for governor one day,” Gaetz told NBC News about the weekend’s transpirings. “But we have an outstanding governor who will be in that position through 2026.” He added, “My only political focus right now is Trump 2024.”

But others are sure the guy who almost got beat up by a fellow Republican lawmaker as he held up Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker vote back in January is a lock, for the GOP nomination at least.

“He’s 100 percent in,” said a Florida Republican. “I think Gaetz is an instant front-runner and from what I hear he’s already won the Trump primary.”

What kind of governor can denizens of the Sunshine State expect if they elect Matt Gaetz? Someone who maturely threatens to quit his job if he doesn’t get his way, for one thing. For another, they’d get a State First Lady who hates the movie Barbie. Choose wisely, Florida.

Trump Allegedly Used The Back Of Classified Documents As An Excellent Place To Scrawl To-Do Lists

Even Donald Trump’s Trumpiest fans have to admit that as president he didn’t take the job’s traditions seriously. Instead of working round the clock, he apparently watched tons of TV. Instead of following the law and preserving any and all White House documents, he would tear them up or stuff them down toilets, clogging them. But that’s not all he would do to government materials.

As per ABC News, Trump’s longtime assistants informed federal prosecutors that he repeatedly used White House documents as an excellent place to scrawl to-do lists:

As described to ABC News, the aide, Molly Michael, told investigators that — more than once — she received requests or taskings from Trump that were written on the back of notecards, and she later recognized those notecards as sensitive White House materials — with visible classification markings — used to brief Trump while he was still in office about phone calls with foreign leaders or other international-related matters.

Last summer, when the feds searched Mar-a-Lago for government documents that had not been returned as requested, they didn’t take said notecards with them. Instead, Michael later discovered them under a drawer organizer. She then helped transfer them to the FBI.

Sources also say Michael claimed that after Trump learned that the feds wanted to interview her last year, he told her, “You don’t know anything about the boxes.”

Of the 91 criminal charges Trump faces, 37 of them are connected with the case accusing him of mishandling government documents. About Michael’s claims, a Trump spokesperson said that they lack “proper context and relevant information,” on top of being part of “illegal leaks.”

In any case, Trump isn’t worried about getting in trouble, claiming he doesn’t “even think” about going to the slammer. This contradicts previous reports that, yes, he’s very worried about going to the slammer.

Does NSYNC Have A Reunion Album Or Tour Coming Soon?

Ever since the rumor that NSYNC would return for the 2023 MTV VMAs turned out to be true (it was the second such rumor in a decade, so some skepticism would have been warranted), hopeful fans (including Taylor Swift) have been clamoring for a full-on reunion with an album and a tour. The is already enjoying some renewed attention thanks to their new song in the upcoming animated film Trolls Band Together (which appears to be loosely inspired by the band’s success and breakup), so it’s only natural for fans to wonder…

Does NSYNC Have A New Album Or Tour Coming Soon?

Unfortunately for millions of millennial former teenyboppers, it doesn’t look like a comeback album or a reunion tour is currently in the works. According to Billboard, sources say NSYNC doesn’t have any plans to jump back into the boy band business. But, on the bright side — for some, at least — it sounds like Justin Timberlake is going to be putting out a new album in time for his own tour in 2024. His reps have put holds on several dates at arenas across North America and he’s set to enter a new album cycle.

So, sorry boy band fans, but you’ve got a glass half-full/half-empty situation on your hands here. At least you have the Trolls Band Together soundtrack. That’s due in November.

Woman finds expensive wedding gown at Goodwill and inspires the designer to donate more

Weddings are expensive so, many brides look for ways to cut corners where they can. Designer wedding dresses can cost more than a nice used car so any sort of sale or thrift store find can significantly boost your budget for other things. Emmali Osterhoudt came across a deal so good on a wedding gown that she bought it immediately, even though she doesn’t have a fiancé.

It was too good of a deal to pass up at $25 when the original tag (still on the dress) read $6,200. The fact that the dress fit like a glove right off of the Goodwill rack makes not having someone to stand at the end of the aisle a mere technicality. Osterhoudt didn’t want to keep her find a secret, she uploaded a video of her future wedding dress to TikTok where it went viral.

The unbetrothed woman’s post generated more than 3.5 million views and caught the eye of the dress’s designer, Galia Lahav.


If you’re into celebrity news, including all the details of their big day, then you’ve likely come across Lahav’s name. She’s designed dresses for Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Paris Hilton, according to Good Morning America. The dress is truly an incredible find on a day that Osterhoudt likely would’ve considered a bust, since she revealed in a follow up video that she used to answer people’s questions, she wasn’t having luck at that particular Goodwill.

“This Goodwill is in Birmingham, Alabama, in the Green Springs area and it had nothing. It had nothing but the dress,” Osterhoudt laughs. “I had gone in just to look at some picture frames for a gallery wall and I did. I had already checked out.”

@emmalifaith

Answer some of the Galia Lahav dress questions with me!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼 #goodwill #goodwillfinds #galialahav #weddingdress

But on her way out she noticed a section they didn’t go through, so she went back to look. That’s where she found the beautiful designer gown, which luckily for other brides won’t be the only Lahav gown to hang on Goodwill racks. People received a press release from the designer revealing her plan to work with Goodwills across the country to donate wedding gowns.

“It’s a reminder that sometimes, life’s surprises can be as beautiful as the dress itself,” Galia Lahav said according to People.

@emmalifaith

Im so freaking excited about this find, i may not even use it when it comes to the day because im not getting engaged or married for awhile but maybe its fate lol also jlo has worn this brand as well #galialahav #galialahavbride #goodwill #weddingdress @Galia Lahav

Under the original video, people are flabbergasted by the woman’s thrifting find.

“As someone who has worked in bridal for 9 years and still has never seen a Galia Lahav in person, my jaw is on the FLOOR. The find of a LIFETIME,” one woman writes.

“We literally sell this dress where I work for $6800 20/10 find,” another person says.

“You had me at $25 designer wedding dress. A $6,175 save. To add it looks stunning on you, like it was made for you,” someone writes.

There’s no telling what you’ll find at the Goodwill, it can be anything from used salt and pepper shakers with little monetary value or a sculpted bust that turns out to be priceless. But thanks to Osterhoudt’s viral find, brides to be across America will soon be able to scour their local Goodwills to find a buried treasure left by the designer herself.

‘Truth is good for kids’: Coach Deion Sanders on how to speak to children in a ‘lyin” society

Deion Sanders changed our perceptions of an an athlete when he was one of the handful of people to ever play in the National Football League (1989 to 2005) and Major League Baseball simultaneously (1989 to 1997 and 2001).

Now, he’s changing perceptions on the sidelines as a head college football coach by being passionate, provocative and unapologetically “old school.”

Last season, the Colorado Buffaloes only won one game. This year, after hiring Sanders as a coach, the team is 3-0. One of the big reasons for the overnight change is that Sanders had no problem firing the entire coaching staff and replacing most of the team’s players.


Before the season began, Sanders told the team he was going to be hard on them and bring in a bunch of new guys from the transfer portal. If the players weren’t with how he was running things, he asked them to transfer out of the program.

“Now, if you went for that, if you were able to let words run you off, you ain’t for us because we’re a old-school staff,” he told “60 Minutes.” “We coach hard. We coach tough. We’re disciplinarians. So, if you’re allowing verbiage to run you off because you don’t feel secure with your ability, you ain’t for us,” he said.

“I’m sure that your straight talk was appreciated by some. But, is this scorched-earth policy good for college football or for the kids?” interviewer Jon Wertheim asked.

“I think truth is good for kids. We’re so busy lyin’, we don’t even recognize the truth no more in society,” Sanders replied. “We want everybody to feel good. That’s not the way life is. Now, it is my job to make sure I have what we need to win. That makes a lot of people feel good. Winning does,” he said.

Sanders’ honesty is probably refreshing to a lot of people who think kids are too coddled these days. What’s interesting is that his ultimate goal is exactly the same as a parent or coach who sugarcoats things. Sanders believes that by pushing young people hard they can achieve great things and through that success comes happiness.

Woman goes off on why nerdy men make the ‘best husbands’ and other women agree

Historically, guys with a passion for comic books, Star Wars, or anything else that might have a fandom, haven’t exactly been the poster boys for the ideal love interest. But nowadays, it looks like nerds really do get revenge.

Because apparently, everything that makes a great nerd, also happened to make a great husband. At least, according to thousands of women on social media.

Married podcaster Isabel Brown recently went viral on TikTok for attesting that “nerds make the best husbands,” and that society just gives them a bad rep.

Brown made her appeal as part of a stitch with another woman asking how to find a man that are thoughtful, attentive, good fathers, and know how to “spoil” their wives.

Brown’s response? “They’re nerds.”


“It honestly blows my mind how we have this entire trope in American literature and movies and TV shows about the nerdy girl who gets the glow up when she grows up,” ranted Brown of the common theme features in famed rom-com classics like “She’s All That” and “Never Been Kissed, but we don’t say that for men!” Brown says in her video.

In her opinion, we should be taking those nerdy traits as “green flags.”

“Hear me loud and clear, if he owns a lightsaber — green flag,” says Brown. “If he has purchased a wand from the wizarding world of Harry Potter — greenest possible flag. If he has an unhealthy obsession with Ashoka Tano, you better run to the altar.”

Brown even allots “bonus points” to a guy obsessed with monopoly.

@theisabelbrown

Nerds make the best husbands. It’s a fact.

♬ original sound – Isabel Brown

But why does she think these traits translate into being good husbands? Because from her perspective, it means these men will appreciate their partner’s inner drives more, and understand heartfelt passions.

“Those little underestimated nerd boys grow up to be men who see what’s on here,” she says, while placing a hand on her heart.

Brown clearly wasn’t alone in her opinion. Several married women who had nerdy husbands of their own chimed in to agree.

“Mine has a LOTR sword and I knew he was the one after that,” wrote fellow TikTok creator Elyse Myers.

Another woman commented “I married the anime loving, nerdy gamer boy. Wouldn’t change it for the world.”

One even created her own stitch video showing snapshots of her husband as a kid (read: nerdy kid) and adult while singing his praises.

“She’s right. It’s the nerds…[My husband] is amazing. He’s sweet, kind, loving and an amazing father. It’s the nerds,” she insisted.

According to a male relationship influencer who goes by @urdivorcesurvivalguide, it’s being chronic outsiders that make nerdy men good partners.

@urdivorcesurvivalguide #stitch with @Isabel Brown ♬ original sound – UrDivorceSurvivalGuide

“Watching those beautiful girls [they’ve] always been attracted to” receive less-than-stellar treatment from other guys that are typically seen as more attractive provides a curriculum for “what not to do [in relationships],” he says.

According to some, however, this isn’t a foolproof dating plan.

As self-described nerd Justin explains, if a woman simply dates a nerdy man in hopes that it will make him a more loyal and dedicated partner, but doesn’t have any nerdy qualities herself and isn’t “willing to become part of that culture in some way,” then they won’t actually be able to build anything meaningful.

@ramblinglifter #stitch with @Isabel Brown ♬ original sound – Justin

While it’s true that shared interests can create deep bonds, many experts agree that it isn’t vital to having a fulfilling relationship. In fact, having a partner with opposite interests can help us grow into more well rounded individuals. What really matters in the long run is having similar values and ethics.

Still, to Justin’s point, it probably isn’t best to date someone simply for what they can do for you. You need to actually appreciate who they are.

All this to say—aside from general personal improvement, it probably isn’t necessary for you to change key aspects of who you are in order to become more desirable by potential partners. What really matters is being authentic and actually being ready to be a partner.

A stadium of people launched into an incredible, spontaneous ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ sing-along

When polarization starts to feel like a defining characteristic of humanity, sometimes we need a reminder that people really are capable of coming together as one.

Watching a stadium full of Green Day concertgoers bust out their best “Bohemian Rhapsody” when it came over the loudspeakers is just such a reminder.

As the person who uploaded the concert footage to Reddit noted: “For almost 6 minutes, the equivalent of a small city sang, with one voice, the beautiful song of a man who has been dead for decades. If you can do this, you’re not just a famous person, you’re a legend.”


What could be more palette-cleansing than hearing thousands of people breaking into song together for an entire six minutes? What’s more unifying than a piece of music being so beloved and well-known that a whole stadium knows every note and word and sings it in unison with all their heart?

via GIPHY

As one commenter on Reddit wrote, “Ever notice how one crowd singing together always sound the same as other crowds, as in has the same tambre [sic] and sound quality? It’s like the recognizable and familiar voice of humanity. Regardless of how different the people in the crowd are, the crowd always sounds the same. I think the idea that we are listening to humanity’s voice when hearing a crowd sing is a beautiful concept.”

Listen to the voice of humanity. It’s truly a beautiful thing.

James Doohan, the original ‘Star Trek’ Scotty, once saved a suicidal fan’s life

When people become famous, they know fans are going to want things from them all the time—autographs, selfies, shoutouts, handshakes and hugs. But what about when a fan reaches out in distress?

Canadian actor James Doohan, who played the lovably surly ship mechanic Scotty on the original “Star Trek” television show and films, received a harrowing note from a fan once. It’s hard to know when to take a letter from a stranger seriously, especially when you’re a famous actor, but he did.

“I got a fan letter from a young lady—it was a suicide note,” he shared in an interview. “So I called her. I said, ‘Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan—Scotty from Star Trek,’ I said, ‘I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I want to see you there.'”


The woman came to the convention, and Doohan said he couldn’t believe what he saw. “Definitely suicidal,” he said. “Somebody had to help her somehow, you know. Obviously, she wasn’t going to the right people.”

Doohan told the young woman that he was going to be at another convention in two weeks, and then another two weeks after that, and that he wanted to see her at each one of them. And sure enough, she showed up at all of them, despite them being held all over the country.

“That went on for two or three years, maybe 18 times. And all I did was talk positive things to her,” he said. “And then all of a sudden, nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what was happening because I really never saved her address, right?”

Miraculously, eight years later, Doohan got a letter from the woman.

“I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me,” it read, “because I just got my master’s degree in electronic engineering.”

Doohan said the story brought tears to his eyes every time he talked about it. “You know, to me, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life,” he said.

Though Doohan passed away in 2005, his legacy as the OG Scotty—and as a caring public figure who went the extra mile for a struggling stranger—lives on.

Watch him tell the story:

High school teacher breaks down every high school clique that (still) exists

Think back to all those centuries ago (kidding), when you were but a wee teen in high school. Suddenly identity exploration and finding a sense of belonging become paramount. In those pivotal years, you meet other like-minded individuals with similar tastes and interests, and those people become your exclusive group of friends, otherwise known as a clique.

High school might look very different now than how it once did, but this rite of passage is still very much alive and well. Just ask Ms. C, who goes by the handle @stillateacher on TikTok.

Ms. C recently went viral for sharing a look at high school cliques from her perspective as a teacher, honing in on what she liked about teaching each clique. Her observations illuminate not only that yes, cliques persist (and with them their inherent problems) but that there’s something genuine, sweet and loveable about each one.

First on deck—the goth kids, primarily because Ms. C admits to being scared of them when she was a kid. But now, after actually connecting with a few, she insists that underneath those dark and gloomy exteriors lies genuine kindness.

“A common interaction between me and a goth kid is throughout class, they’re just kind of like giving me a death glare…And then after class, they just like linger around by my desk and I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s up?’ And they’ll just like lightly knock over something on my desk and be like, ‘You’re a really good teacher. This is my favorite class.’ and then just walk out,” she says in the clip.

So yeah, goth kids are just like cats. Misunderstood in the way they show love.

@stillateacher Something loveable about every clique #teacher #teachersoftiktok #teachertok #highschool #clique ♬ original sound – Ms. C

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Ms. C tackles theater kids next. Sure, this group has a big personality (perhaps too big for some), but Ms. C appreciates their brazen self-assurance.

“They reeeeealllly don’t care what anyone thinks,” she says, explaining that while other students add well-known pop singers to her class playlist, theater kids will shamelessly put in their favorite show tunes. Why? Because it’s “the best musical of all time!” Duh.

Plus, Ms. C commends their “really strong literacy skills from reading and memorizing all of these plays.”

For jocks, there are actually sub-cliques within the group “depending on which sport you play.” But despite each sport team having different personalities, Ms. C notes that a supportive coach makes all the difference.

“I’ve literally before picked up my phone and called the coach and then like be like, ‘So and so is having a tough day,’ and they come and talk to them in the hallway and the student is like immediately changed, inspired, transformed,” she says.

And while she admits that the teacher/jock relationship is often portrayed as contentious, she can’t help but commend jocks for their passion and commitment.

“A lot of the kids are just like die-hard for whatever sport they play. That keeps them coming to school consistently. It keeps them having something to do,” she says.

After her initial post received over 800,000 views, Ms. C began reviewing even more cliques. Like band kids, who are “clever,” “sarcastic,” fond of outdated memes and generally “lead a fun, joyful existence.”

@stillateacher Replying to @juan pablo Suarez band kids get a 5 star review #teacher #teachersoftiktok #teachertok #highschool #clique ♬ original sound – Ms. C

Or art kids, who are “self-deprecating” but “brilliant” and “generous” and “unproblematic royalty” overall.

@stillateacher Replying to @Escape_My_Reality ♬ original sound – Ms. C

Ms. C has even advocated for the AP overachievers, who are often labeled as insufferable in their eagerness.

@stillateacher Replying to @520momo_mama I will defend overachievers to the death #teacher #teachersoftiktok #teachertok #highschool #clique ♬ original sound – Ms. C

“You all have an edge and an intensity that you can leverage to lead truly extraordinary lives,” says, before joking that they’ll “also need a lot of therapy, so many blessings to you on that journey, and the earlier you start the better.”

Requests for more clique reviews are still rolling in, asking Ms. C to cover the skater punks, the nerds, the speech and debate team, cheerleaders and dancers, …and a lot of folks have suggested choir kids. So be sure to follow Ms. C for more wholesome entertainment.

High school cliques might evolve with the different generations, but one thing that will never change is that they each have something unique to offer.
