In her music, Adele’s willing to set fire to the rain. But at her live shows, she’s prepared to go full scorched-earth.
Yesterday (June 1), the “Water Under The Bridge” singer showed off her fiery side during her latest Weekends with Adele residency performance. While chatting with the Las Vegas crowd, a concertgoer supposedly yelled out: “Pride Month sucks.”
After processing what was said, Adele turned to the individual to slam them for their seemingly anti-LGBTQ remarks. “Did you come to my f*cking show and just say that Pride sucks,” she said. “Are you f*cking stupid? Don’t be so f*cking ridiculous. If you have nothing nice to say, shut up, alright?”
Adele goes off on audience member who yelled “Pride sucks” at her concert tonight:

Before Adele transitioned back into the show, other attendees chimed in. In the now viral clip, one individual can be heard saying, “We should jump them.”
Now, users online had begun to share their thoughts around the incident.
“To have ADELE of all people go off on you means you REALLY said something wrong,” wrote one user. “To be homophobic during Pride Month too is ridiculous. In the year of 2024 too. Smh.”
To have ADELE of all people go off on you means you REALLY said something wrong. To be homophobic during pride month too is ridiculous. In the year of 2024 too. Smh…
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Luca Guadagnino excels at serving up sensual subject matter that stokes several varieties of tension at once (that poor peach) while masterfully declining to deliver the expected outcome of those tantalizing teases. This intense sports drama did, intentionally of course, earn the reputation of being Zendaya’s “threesome” movie although the movie doesn’t actually contain a threesome scene. The cast, however, is phenomenal with the leading trio including Art (Mike Faist), whose rivalry with Patrick (Josh O’Connor) is reignited after the former gets the lady. That lady would be Tashi, who is a force of controlling nature and suffers the most gut-wrenching tennis injury shown onscreen but doesn’t let that dampen her explosive potential.
Josh Brolin has returned to the role that his entire career has been building towards: Royal Abbott, the grumpy-ass, time-traveling rancher whose little world got shaken up by the arrival of the mysterious Autumn (Imogen Poots), but is she good or bad chaotic? You will see. Meanwhile, Deputy Sheriff Joy (Tamara Podemski)’s entire worldview gets turned upside down as she becomes a larger piece of this mystical puzzle woven by that Void. The season ends with even more questions than which it began, so here’s to hoping for a third-season renewal.
Alex Garland’s final directorial effort (for the foreseeable future) scored well for A24 at the box office and is popping on the VOD charts, too. Eventually, the movie will hit Max as part of the streamer’s agreement with the indie production house, but perhaps a certain set of trending subjects on Twitter/X will send this frightening movie — starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and an unsettling Jesse Plemons — into even more home theaters over the next few weeks. Stay tuned there.
Will Forte headlines in this series that got steamrolled (attention wise) by Baby Reindeer and Bridgerton‘s popularity, but this first dramatic TV series effort from Higher Ground (Michelle and Barack Obama’s production house) deserves a circle-back approach if you have the viewing bandwidth. Those who adore Only Murders In The Building will love this Irish spin on podcasters taking on detective roles in this series created by Jen Scharf. The show will never displace Only Murders, but this new show crackles with dark humor and also stars Siobhán Cullen and Robyn Cara.
This show simply will not stop riding the top of Netflix’s charts, and surely, creator, writer, and star Richard Gadd never expected to land on the all-time Top 10 list, which is due to happen pretty damn soon. In other words, watch out Bridgerton, Stranger Things, and Wednesday. Meanwhile, Gadd is moving past the trauma of his past to work on his next project, Lions, in which he will not star but will still no doubt compel viewers. If you haven’t caught Baby Reindeer yet, know that it’s an intense and stressful watch, and it’s not exactly a true-crime series, but the public’s fascination with the based-on-real-life story could arguably qualify it as such.
Nine years ago, a still-unidentified group known as the Impact Team hacked the infamous cheating website and released the email addresses and personal information of millions of subscribers. The collateral damage was immense, and that includes plenty of divorces and even a death as detailed in this series. The most heavily featured case of this season involves married Christian vlogging couple Sam and Nia Rader, who found their lives upended a number of times due to an unending supply of lies by Sam, and they’re one of the “luckier” pairs among the hacking subjects.
Riley Keough unpacked the finale of this limited series for UPROXX this week, and this series also lands on our list of Best True Crime shows. The limited series adapts Rebecca Godfrey’s (portrayed by Keough) book about her efforts to track down a murder whose heinous acts wreaked havoc on a small Canadian town. Lily Gladstone portrays a cop also on the search for justice for a missing girl’s family. A little bit of True Detective vibes adds more fuel for a show with heavy subject matter that propels itself like the two lead investigators do: with dogged determination.
A second season is already on the way for this very differently-located workplace comedy starring Shane Gillis. The comedian portrays a cousin, coworker, and thorn in the side of Will (Steven Gerben), who has inherited his father’s auto-repair business and is struggling to make it work. The show somehow managed to stand out as an example of counterprogramming amid a sea of Bridgerton seasons dominating Netflix at present.
Somehow, this series has never been hotter with Netflix racking up endless rewatches of the first two seasons and the Queen Charlotte spin off. Thus far, the first half of the season has delivered on the Carriage Scene promise, but what will come in the next four episodes? Shondaland will not disappoint viewers who adore seeing Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton together, but the Lady Whistledown secret lingers over the entire show.
The tables have truly turned between Ava and Deborah after the final moments of the season showed that the 20-something writer has learned the best and worst methods of her mentor. Max already renewed for a fourth season after this series hit its highest viewership numbers over the past month, and Deborah has suddenly been informed that Ava is really and truly her match. Let the delicious chaos and fallout flow.
Poirier landed a strike or two to open the fight, but it was Makhachev who landed a forward combination and went right for the takedown, successfully moving to side mount. The champ had Poirier in danger with a Kimora, but Poirier escaped, giving up his back midway through the round.
In the second, a leg kick from Poirier resulted in nearly a takedown in the first minute. Back on their feet, Poirier kept his distance, but Makhachev was relentless looking for an opening for a takedown. Aware of the takedown threat, Poirier ate shot after shot on his feet. Makhachev shot again midway through the round, pushing him against the cage until Poirier got his back to the center of the Octagon and pushed the champ back to trade shots. Poirier appeared to stun Makhachev slightly, but he found his footing and earned a takedown to end the round.
Makhachev opened the third with a big knee before taking Poirier down yet again. He took the challenger’s back and eventually moved to full mount. Poirier escaped out the back and moved back to his feet, looking much more aggressive on his feet by walking down the champ. With 10 seconds to go, Poirier threw big shots to end the round.
Poirier came out refreshed in the fourth, opening a gash on Makhachev’s forehead with an elbow in the championship rounds. He worked the jab and found openings at the body, eventually stuffing a takedown attempt. Makhachev found his own openings with a nice one-two, then set up a takedown attempt with a big left hand. Poirier posted in the corner, then slid out again with a reversal, landing huge body shots against the cage.
The fifth saw Poirier escape another takedown attempt followed by a big shot. He followed with a big left hand that didn’t faze Makhachev. The champ earned a quick takedown, but Poirier made it back to his feet. Eventually, Makhachev earned another takedown and the submission victory.
Makhachev has steamrolled through the UFC, winning the lightweight championship in 2022 by submitting Charles Oliveira and defeating Alexander Volanovski twice heading into Saturday night’s main event.
Poirier’s journey to finish his story came with another twist with his matchup against Makhachev. He held UFC gold once in his career, winning the interim lightweight belt against Max Holloway in 2019 before ultimately falling at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov in their unification bout. Poirier has chased gold since, beating Conor McGregor twice before yet again failing in his shot at gold against Charles Oliveira. With wins against Michael Chandler and Benoit Saint-Denis, Poirier came into Saturday hoping third shot would be his best.
Following the track’s release, it appears BIA subtly responded to the call on. “B*itches is wack,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “B*tches is trash. I should hang b*tches right over my knee, the way I be puttin’ my belt to the ass .”
BITCHS IS WACK. BITCHS IS TRASH. I SHOULD HANG BITCHS RIGHT OVER MY KNEE, THE WAY I BE PUTTIN MY BELT TO THEY ASSSSSSSS
Days before, it seems that BIA shaded Cardi B over her use of songwriters on her records. “The quality of features I have, shows how much of a fan I am of real writers ,” she wrote.
The quality of features I have, shows how much of a fan I am of real writers.
Read Cardi B’s lines on “Wanna Be” remix directed at BIA below.
“Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me / She did one had no idea / Thought she was on the shelf Ikea / Hope she talk like that when I see her / B*tch please don’t nobody wanna be her (BIA) / Cheap lookin’ ass ho, weak lookin’ ass ho / Great Value me lookin’ ass ho / Girl, these bitches be pussy
Delete every tweet lookin’ ass ho”
Last week, Amber Smith from Warwickshire, England, revealed something about herself that many of her Facebook friends didn’t know:
She suffers from crippling panic attacks.
Smith shared her story by posting two completely different pictures of herself and the powerful imagery has been shared over 7,500 times.
“Top Picture: What I showcase to the world via social media. Dressed up, make-up done, filters galore. The ‘normal’ side to me.”
“Bottom picture: Taken tonight shortly after suffering from a panic attack because of my anxiety. Also, the ‘normal’ side to me that most people don’t see.”
Full post:
God knows why I’m doing this, but people need some home truths..
Top picture: What I showcase to the world via social media. Dressed up, make up done, filters galore. The ‘normal’ side to me. Bottom picture: Taken tonight shortly after suffering from a panic attack because of my anxiety. Also the ‘normal” side to me that most people don’t see.
I’m so sick of the fact that it’s 2016 and there is still so much stigma around mental health. It disgusts me that so many people are so uneducated and judgmental over the topic. They say that 1 in 3 people will suffer with a mental illness at some point in their life. 1 in 3! Do you know how many people that equates to worldwide?! And yet I’ve been battling with anxiety and depression for years and years and there’s still people that make comments like ‘you’ll get over it’, ‘you don’t need tablets, just be happier’, ‘you’re too young to suffer with that’
F*** YOU. F*** all of you small minded people that think that because I physically look ‘fine’ that I’m not battling a monster inside my head every single day.
Someone actually said this to me one day ‘aren’t you too young to be suffering with anxiety and depression? What do you actually have to be depressed about at your age?” Wow, just wow.
I’m a strong person, I’ve been through my fair share of crap in life (the same as anyone else) and I will be okay. I have the best family and friends around me and I am thankful everyday that they have the patience to help and support me. To anyone who is going through the same, please do not suffer in silence. There is so much support around – Don’t be scared to ask for help.
This is why I can’t stress enough that it costs nothing to be nice to others. Don’t bully others, don’t put others down and the hardest one of them all (as we have all done it at some point) don’t judge another person. We’re all human regardless of age, race, religion, wealth, job. So build one another up instead of breaking each other down. Peace & love guys
Smith’s before-and-after photos perfectly symbolize how panic attacks feel, because they often come on without any warning. People suffering from attacks can experience shortness of breath, heart palpitations, trembling, hot and cold flashes or myriad other debilitating symptoms.
According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, over four million Americans suffer from panic attacks, and although they are emotionally debilitating, they can be overcome through cognitive/behavioral therapy. According to Thomas A. Richards, Ph. D, “Today, panic attacks and agoraphobia can be treated successfully with a motivated client and a knowledgeable therapist.”
“So just recently I went out on a Match.com date, and it was fantastic,” begins Dr. Danielle Sheypuk in her TEDx Talk.
If you’ve ever been on a bunch of Match.com dates, that opening line might make you do a double take. How does one get so lucky?!
But don’t get too jealous. Things quickly went downhill two dates later, as most Match.com dates ultimately do. This time, however, the reason may not be something that you’ve ever experienced.
Intrigued? I was too. So here’s the story.
She’s a licensed clinical psychologist, an advocate, and a model — among other things. She’s also been confined to a wheelchair since childhood. And that last fact is what did her recent date in.
On their third date over a romantic Italian dinner, Sheypuk noticed that he was sitting farther away from her than usual. And then, out of nowhere, he began to ask the following questions:
“I’ve been thinking, how are you gonna be a mother? How are you gonna do the duties that’s gonna be required of you? And even as wife — how … I’m not sure how this is gonna work.”
Used to this line of inquiry, she had the perfect quippy reply: “Well that’s simple: I’m just gonna hire someone like every other New Yorker.”
But despite her witty answer, he’d already made up his mind. She never heard from him again.
“I tried to convince myself that this was like any other relationship, but deep down I knew the reality. Who wants to date someone in a wheelchair?”
Dr. Sheypuk knows that that single question is evidence of a really serious problem —not just on the dating scene, but in society in general.
Society has factored out an entire group of potential romantic partners: people with disabilities.
In her words:
“We are completely left out of the dating picture. Society, media included, seems to ignore the fact that we have the same emotional needs and desires as everyone else. Is this injustice born out of the concept of the poster child and his or her duty to induce pity to raise money?
Or maybe it’s a conclusion drawn form mainstream porn where we have actors performing, like, gymnastic stunts with the stamina that none of us have of bucking broncos and jackrabbits.”
Um, yes. So much yes. She continues:
“The silent message: The more in shape your body, the better the sex. The unspoken conclusion: If you have a disability, you are too sick to have sex.
The silent message: The more in shape your body, the better the sex. The unspoken conclusion: If you have a disability, you are too sick to have sex.
“Now let’s look at the continuum in our society where sexual is measured. On the one hand, we have humans that are the ultimate sex appeal object. So on that end, we have Victoria Secret models, Playboy centerfolds, people like that.
On the complete opposite end, we have people with physical disabilities. And it seems like the more we deviate from this ultimate sex icon, the more desexualized we become, the more taboo the topic, and the more damaging the consequences.
Now, for most people there are quick fixes, right? We have Hair Club for Men, Botox, Spanx, butt implants. But for people with disabilities, there are no quick fixes. There is no magic pill.”
“And we are hit hard.”
Watch the rest of Dr. Sheypuk’s talk to hear her important insights about what dating and relationships are like when a person has a disability — and how much of society is limiting itself.
Each year that I teach the book “1984” I turn my classroom into a totalitarian regime under the guise of the “common good.”
I run a simulation in which I become a dictator. I tell my students that in order to battle “Senioritis,” the teachers and admin have adapted an evidence-based strategy, a strategy that has “been implemented in many schools throughout the country and has had immense success.” I hang posters with motivational quotes and falsified statistics, and provide a false narrative for the problem that is “Senioritis.”
I tell the students that in order to help them succeed, I must implement strict classroom rules. They must raise their hand before doing anything at all, even when asking another student for a pencil. They lose points each time they don’t behave as expected. They gain points by reporting other students. If someone breaks the rule and I don’t see it, it’s the responsibility of the other students to let me know. Those students earn bonus points. I tell students that in order for this plan to work they must “trust the process and not question their teachers.” This becomes a school-wide effort. The other teachers and admin join in.
I’ve done this experiment numerous times, and each year I have similar results. This year, however, was different.
This year, a handful of students did fall in line as always. The majority of students, however, rebelled.
By day two of the simulation, the students were contacting members of administration, writing letters, and creating protest posters. They were organizing against me and against the admin. They were stomping the hallways, refusing to do as they were told.
The president of the Student Government Association, whom I don’t even teach, wrote an email demanding an end to this “program.” He wrote that this program is “simply fascism at its worst. Statements such as these are the base of a dictatorship rule, this school, as well as this country cannot and will not fall prey to these totalitarian behaviors.”
I did everything in my power to fight their rebellion.
I “bribed” the president of the SGA. I “forced” him to publicly “resign.” And, yet, the students did not back down. They fought even harder. They were more vigilant. They became more organized. They found a new leader. They were more than ready to fight. They knew they would win in numbers.
I ended the experiment two days earlier than I had planned because their rebellion was so strong and overwhelming. For the first time since I’ve done this experiment, the students “won.”
What I learned is this: Teenagers will be the ones to save us.
Just like Emma Gonzalez, the teen activist from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, my students did not back down nor conform. They fought for their rights. They won.
Adults can learn a lot from the teens of this generations. Adults are complacent, jaded, and disparaged. Teenagers are ignited, spirited, and take no prisoners. Do not squander their fight. They really are our future. Do not call them entitled. That entitlement is their drive and their passion. Do not get in their way. They will crush you.
Foster their rebellion. They are our best allies.

Amazon delivery drivers don’t have the easiest job in the world. Sitting through traffic, working in extreme temperatures, hauling boxes … not exactly a fun time. So when a driver goes out of their way to be extra considerate—people notice.
One delivery driver has gone viral for the way she delivered a little bit of safety education, along with some lighthearted advice. The TikTok video of the encounter, which now has more than 4 million views, was shared by Jessica Huseman, who had only recently moved into her new house.
The clip shows the doorbell cam recording of the driver approaching the house. As the delivery driver makes it to the front door, she sings, ”Hello … I hope your Monday’s going well. You have no markers on your house that says what number you are.”
From there, the driver’s song quickly changes tune, going from funny jest to helpful PSA.
“And that is hard to find your house my dude, and it’s unsafe, honestly,” the driver continues, adding, “what if you needed medical assistance and the paramedics didn’t know your town well? Come on.”
“Have a great day!” she says happily before walking off.
Huseman added the caption: “We just moved in and this happened today… she’s not wrong though. Guess I need to get some house numbers.”
The driver’s observation was clearly on point. Several medical pros commented to back her up.
“As someone who works in EMS I can verify house numbers are necessary! BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THEY ARE EASILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET AT NIGHT,” wrote one person.
Another replied, ”yes! Medic here, we’ve had to call dispatch and ask for them to get [the] caller back on the phone and get [the] description of [the] house because there [are] no numbers.”
Besides her information being vital, people were mostly in love with the driver’s friendly attitude. Here are just a few of the compliments:
“Honestly, give them a raise. That’s awesome vibes right there.”
“She’s a whole friken mood, I love her she gives me pink vibes.”
“I need to meet this Amazon driver!!!! I love her!!”
The delivery driver (named Kelsey) eventually saw her viral video and decided to do a follow-up, where she added other unsafe things she’s seen on the job—primarily unclear entrances and exits—along with an additional sweet message:
“Crisis management and prevention education is essential and literally a part of my soul. So anytime I do go out and deliver packages … if I see something, I say something. Cause that’s how bystander intervention works. But keeping in mind that it’s more than that. It is about reminding each other that we are enough, and being there for one another.”
Whether it’s packages or something to smile about, Kelsey is a master of delivery.
Most superheroes (and villains) have a close affinity with a furious animal. After a recent run-in with a typically nocturnal mammal, Taylor Momsen’s story could easily be turned into a comic book series.
On May 29, during the band’s opening set for AC/DC’sPower Up Tour in Seville, Spain, The Pretty Reckless frontwoman was bit by a bat. Yesterday (May 31), Momsen took to X (formerly Instagram) to issue a statement after videos of the incident on Estadio La Cartuja’s stage surfaced online.
“Rock and roll moment,” she wrote. “In Sevilla, [on] Wednesday, during ‘Witches Burn’ a bat clung to my leg. In the moment, I was performing and had no idea until the crowd kept screaming and pointing. Yes, he bit me. So, rabies shots for the next two weeks .”
She went on to joke about the nickname medical professional gave her following the encounter. “Thanks to the staff at the hospital,” she wrote. “Who dubbed me #BatGirl after seeing it on the local news.”

Momsen is living the rock star lifestyle on the tour and as a member of the band. But she first gained popularity thanks to her roles in How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Gossip Girl. Now, users online are hoping that Taylor Momsen would return to the small screen, even if it was for a comedic skit about the freak accident.
