However, as it was later pointed out by users adding context, the photo is actually from May 2023, when she was pregnant with the couple’s second child, and neither Rihanna nor ASAP Rocky has made announcements regarding a third pregnancy.
The tweet, which has over 18,000 shares as of this writing, is a prime example of much of what has gone wrong on Twitter — also known as “X” because that’s a perfectly good and reasonable name for a social media platform (if you’re an out-of-town billionaire best known for promoting conspiracy theories and trying to fight other tech billionaires) — since its purchase by Elon Musk. Since anyone with eight bucks to their name can pretend to be “verified” and engagement is rewarded no matter its value or authenticity, there are plenty of trolls on there willing to do or say whatever they can to get attention — and a cut of Musk’s new profit sharing model.
Again, with the worth of information on the internet rapidly approaching zero, it’s important to take stock of how trustworthy or otherwise a news source really is.
Tyler The Creator clearly went to the Drake school of keeping receipts, because he certainly had one ready to go for the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival crowd during his Saturday set, reminding them that they booed Drake the last time the festival was held in 2019. During his performance of “Lumberjack” from Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler changed the line “I hit Drizzy and told him I had a milli’ for him” to “I called Drizzy and you booed him last time” then called the crowd “assholes” before breaking down and laughing. The audience also had a chuckle at the not-so-subtle reminder.

The booing incident in 2019 was most likely caused by fans near the stage who had parked there early, hoping that the “mystery headliner” Tyler had been teasing would be Frank Ocean. And although the moment went viral and sparked a slew of memes (as Drake’s most embarrassing moments so often do), the majority of the crowd actually enjoyed his set, and both Tyler and Drake took the fumble in stride.
At the time, Tyler wrote on Twitter, “I thought bringing one of the biggest artist on the fucking planet to a music festival was fire… all jokes aside sh*t lowkey funny.” Meanwhile, Drake posted on Instagram, “Plot twist…just signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw sorry kids see you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30.”
Unfortunately, Flog Gnaw was forced to go on a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19, but returned this past weekend with another stacked lineup — this time, going off without a hitch, even if Tyler found another way to disappoint fans.

Netflix’s Cobra Kaistill had the “The Eye Of The Tiger” with Season 5, which is a coveted status, years after (fittingly) launching as an underdog show on YouTube Red for two seasons. Since the show’s premiere, many franchises have tried and failed to replicate the show’s ability to effectively harness nostalgia while also crane-kicking the generation gap to maintain a rabid and plentiful audience.
The show’s Season 5 streaming success led to speculation about more of this rivalry-filled series and whether we’d see dojos clash again after the fall of spectacular Bond-esque karate villain Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). That batch of episodes actually ended in a way that wouldn’t have been infuriating as a series finale, but fortunately for viewers, Netflix decided to keep going for One Last Fight. Actually, make that “one more fight” for “the biggest season, the baddest season, the final season.”
Now, let’s talk more about what to expect from the next Cobra Kai season.
Plot
Netflix has kept details of the show’s final season under wraps, but there have been plenty of suggestions on what we could happen. We’ll see if John Kreese will surface in The Valley after escaping prison, whether Hawk can grow his hair back really fast, and if Johnny can succeed at being a non-f*ck-up dad. Following Terry Silver’s crash and burn, what happens to “his” dojo?
“Cobra Kai will never die,” as the motto goes, so it sure seems like we will see Kreese return on some level after being framed and wrongfully convicted. As well, the tidy resolutions of the Season 5 finale will fall part, as star Ralph Macchio predicted to us, due to this being a “karate soap opera.” Macchio also hinted at Daniel LaRusso and the rest of the show taking the globe:
“They’ve set up the international element of it, they’ve set up the master Kim in Korea. They set up Kreese, and they also set up that everything’s going back to normal and they’ve finally succeeded. But in a soap opera, as Cobra Kai is a karate soap opera, when one door closes, there’s always more that will open. There’s certainly room for that.”
Jacob Bertrand, who portrays Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, was rooting for a world tournament when he spoke to us, too:
“Oh my god… This is my dream, that I somehow am linked up with Kreese, fresh out of prison. We start some illegal ring of some sort, and I go back to the bad side. I’m kidding, but I think it would be so cool if we got a Season 6, and we actually got to go to some crazy world tournament. And actually go to Brazil or something and not like it have it be, ‘Oh we’re in Brazil! But it’s really just a basement studio in Atlanta’”
Cast
Of course Ralph Macchio and William Zabka will return as Daniel and Johnny Lawrence, respectively. Jacob Bertrand will be back as Hawk, along with Mary Mouser as Samantha, Xolo Maridueña as Miguel, Tanner Buchanan as Robby, Peyton List as Tori, Gianni DeCenzo as Demetri, and Dallas Dupree Young as Kenny. Also expect to see Courtney Henggeler as Amanda and Vanessa Rubio as Carmen, both wondering why their partners cannot stop thinking about karate for five damn minutes.
Again, let’s hope for Martin Kove to come back as John Kreese. And will we see Griffin Santopietro return as the dreaded Anthony LaRusso? Maybe he’ll even keep doing things other than eat a popsicle. Fingers crossed!
Release Date
Way back in January 2023, Netflix issued a vague “soon” regarding a release date, and we know how this year has gone in Hollywood. The writers’ room went “pens down” for the corresponding strike, and the actors’ strike followed not too long afterward.
Now that productions are roaring back to life, we can anticipate movement, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they released the final season around the 2024 holiday season. Netflix did, after all, prefer the New Year’s Eve/Day release schedule for a few seasons. Hopefully, we’ll see some updates before long.
Trailer
No trailer exists yet, but here’s a teaser to tide viewers over:
In 2018, Kim Kardashian met with then-president Donald Trump in the White House. “Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing,” he tweeted, along with a photo of the two of them in the Oval Office. Kardashian also had nice things to say things about the visit (“I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon”), but by 2020, Trump was hanging up the phone when she called asking for help.
According to author Jonathan Karl in his new book, Tired of Winning, Trump “listened” to Kardashian’s request for his assistance with a clemency case in the dying days of his presidency, but it came with a demand. “He would grant the commutations, he told Kardashian, if she leveraged her celebrity connections to get football stars who were friends of hers to come visit him at the White House,” the author wrote (in an excerpt provided by Axios).
Kardashian reached out to her famous athlete friends, “seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences,” but to no avail. “Trump had become too toxic. In the final two weeks of his presidency, nobody wanted to be anywhere near him.”
Months later, Kardashian reached out to Trump again, hoping for his help in another clemency case. It didn’t go well:
Hell no, the former president told her. He wouldn’t do it. ‘You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?’ Trump told her. Kardashian has never publicly said who she voted for in 2020, but after [Joe] Biden was projected the winner, she posted a tweet of Biden and Vice President–elect Kamala Harris along with three blue hearts… After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump had hung up on her.
Ironically, Ryan Murphy is on the line with Kardashian at this very moment to turn this phone call into the next season of American Crime Story. She can play herself!
We all know parenting can be tough, but if there’s one thing that makes the roller coaster of emotions totally worth it, it’s seeing our children’s faces light up with joy.
Children’s smiles are infectious, and not in the scary pandemic kind of a way. There’s simply nothing better in this world than the face of a bright-eyed little human beaming with happiness, which is why a recent TikTok trend has people grinning from ear to ear themselves.
The premise is simple: The parent asks the kid to record them dancing to Taylor Swift‘s “Love Story” with the screen facing away from them (under the guise that the parent dancing needs to see themselves). So instead of recording the parent dancing, it’s actually recording the kid’s face watching them.
And oh, the love and joy on these kids’ faces is so, so sweet to witness. Watch:
The end did it for me 🥹😭I birthed such a sweet, loving and encouraging little boy!! #momtok #toddlersoftiktok #taylorswiftchallenge #lovestorychallenge #boymom #toddlermom
Seriously, seeing close-ups of kids’ joy should be a daily thing.
Had to jump on the trend! Love this beautiful girl!
Of course, part of the beauty of having kids is you simply never know what they’re going to do. While some youngsters gaze lovingly at their parents while they dance, others have a … well … different reaction. Check out this girl’s facial expressions:
Hilarious. And because this is the internet, naturally someone had to do the TikTok trend with their dog. Gotta admit, Ellie’s toothy grin is pretty darn cute as well.
TikTok trends can sometimes be strange, annoying or problematic, but once in a while one comes along that brings people together in surprisingly delightful ways. Seeing people’s kids’ pure enjoyment watching their parents being silly is simply the best.
The Miami Dolphins were one of the NFL’s hottest teams to start the season, racking up an NFL record 70 points against Denver, but have not been able to beat the best teams on their schedule, with their three losses coming against the Bills, Eagles, and Chiefs.
As the season wears on, it’ll be fascinating to see whether they can find a way to beat those playoff caliber opponents, or if they are going to simply beat up on the bottom half of the league. We will get a chance to see that unfold unlike ever before as the Dolphins are the subject of this year’s “Hard Knocks: In Season,” as HBO and Max will take us behind the scenes of the Dolphins for a few weeks this season, starting on November 21.
If nothing else, getting more chances to hear from Mike McDaniel will be pretty entertaining, as the Miami coach is as unique a character as there is in the NFL’s coaching ranks. Beyond McDaniel, we might get a little insight into what makes this offense work so well, while seeing the defense try to figure out how to be a touch more consistent, with Jalen Ramsey almost assuredly being heavily featured by Hard Knocks.
We also will mostly see the Dolphins in two very different modes, as the next five weeks have them playing the Raiders, Jets, Commanders, Titans, and Jets (again), before closing the season with their last three real tests in the form of the Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills. The show will take us through every week of the regular season (and stick with Miami through any playoff run), and it should be fascinating to see what the difference is between these next five weeks and the three that finish the regular season.

In a March email to fans, The Smile let it slip that they were “deep in recording.” At that time, it was their seventh week of recording, and umpteen weeks later, more concrete album news arrived this morning, November 13. The Smile will release Wall Of Eyes on January 26, 2024, the follow-up to 2022’s A Light For Attracting Attention.
The band — comprised of drummer Tom Skinner and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood — sweetened the announcement by dropping the title track alongside a video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
The black-and-white begins its five-minute unfurling with Yorke staring at a wall projecting an enlarged eyeball. He sings, “Behind a wall of eyes / Of my own device / Is that still you? / With a heart of ice / Changed to black and white / Strap yourself in.” And viewers should really take that advice because things only get trippier from there.
Watch the video above, and see the album’s tracklist as well as The Smile’s newly announced 2024 tour dates below.
1. “Wall Of Eyes”
2. “Teleharmonic”
3. “Read The Room”
4. “Under Our Pillows”
5. “Friend Of A Friend”
6. “I Quit”
7. “Bending Hectic”
8. “You Know Me!”
