35-year-old shocks the world by transforming into “black alien”

We live in a world today where in most places we can pretty much express ourselves in whatever manner we sit fit (within reason). There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but for the most part, people can experiment with trends, hairstyles, clothing and more freely than at virtually any other time in human history. This is all to the good: no one should ever be persecuted for the way they choose to dress or decorate themselves, just as no one should ever face stigmatism or demonization for opting for a certain piercing or tattoo (providing it’s not hateful or provocative by design). That said, like it or not, there are limits to what the majority of us are prepared to accept as it pertains to body modification and expression of oneself. One man, 35-year-old Anthony Loffredo, m...

Mom hears son has been bullying classmates – her controversial punishment has the internet split in two

Bullying is an issue abhorred all over the world, but it’s a problem that’s unfortunately ingrained in society. It’s important to teach children from the earliest of ages that bullying is unacceptable in any form, and it’s a lesson most parents and teachers strive to hammer home. However, it’s virtually impossible to root it out entirely, so what to do when a child is found to be bullying another? Well, one Texan mom had a rather controversial method of punishing her son after hearing how he’d called other kids in his class “idiots” and “stupid”. The woman, known only as Star, has sent shockwaves around the internet with her choice of admonishment. As per British newspaper The Daily Star, the mom wanted to stamp out her son’s behavior and, having grown tired of his antics, conjure...

For 3 hours woman stays with trapped horse – then a farmer does everything he can to save its life

Anyone who has ever been by the ocean knows that it can be unpredictable. One thing you should never underestimate is the tide; it can be treacherous if you find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The tide can surprise and swallow people and animals in a matter of seconds, and in some cases it can lead to a slow and cruel death. This was almost what happened to an 18-year-old horse named Astro. Astro’s owner, Nicole Graham, and her daughter were riding their horses along the beach near Geelong, south of Melbourne, Australia. But after a while, the horses found themselves on soft sand and the ground below them turned into a muddy death trap. Nicole’s daughter and her horse managed to get escape, but she and Astro sank deeper into the mud. Astro was soon up to his neck i...

Coach goes viral online for this one act during kids’ basketball game

Teachers are some of the most important people in our community, and yet they are one of the most undervalued. It takes a special person to dedicate their life to educate others, serve as role models, give advice, and mentor the younger generations. We often hear about how teachers have gone above and beyond to help others and, more specifically, the children in their care. One such hero is Jonathan Oliver – a phys-ed teacher at WG Nunn Elementary in Valdosta, Georgia – who was recognized for his kind act towards a kindergartener while coaching a basketball game. After one of his students came to him for assistance, he was only more than happy to help her. When one of the kindergarteners on Oliver’s basketball team, Kristen Paulk, asked him to help tie her hair back in a pon...

From Struggle to Strength: The Inspiring Journey of Annie Windley’s Recovery from Anorexia

Annie Windley, a 21-year-old from Derbyshire, England, has emerged as a beacon of hope and resilience for those battling eating disorders. Her story is one of incredible perseverance, illustrating the profound challenges and eventual triumph over anorexia—a condition that nearly claimed her life. After years of severe undernourishment, eating just one piece of bread a day, and facing life-threatening health risks, Annie has bravely shared her journey to recovery to inspire others facing similar struggles. The Dark Days of Anorexia Annie’s battle with anorexia began in 2012 when she was just a teenager. By the time she reached her lowest point, she weighed no more than 29kg (63 pounds), a dangerously low figure that left her at risk of severe medical complications, including heart failure...

Father of five blasted for leashing kids, gives them odd nickname

It is easy to become a backseat parent, especially when the parent in question is a social media influencer. Content creator and dad Jordan Driskell recently faced a wave of varying opinions about his parenting methods after posting a video that showed him walking his 5-year-old quintuplets on a leash. The original post was captioned: “Come walk a mile in my shoes,” and it quickly went viral, garnering over 3 million views and more than 7,200 comments. Jordan – who has posted videos to TikTok oddly referring to his kids as “pet sperm” – mentioned in a follow-up post that this is his most popular video ever, thanking people for “blowing it up.” Most of the comments, however, were not kind. Many compared the children to dogs. One user asked: “Are they rescues?” Another bl...

Challenging Airline Policies: The Advocacy of Plus-Size Travel Influencer Jae-lynn Chaney

Jae-lynn Chaney, a prominent plus-size travel influencer, is taking a stand against discriminatory airline policies that force larger passengers to pay double for their travel experience. Through her activism and petitioning efforts, Chaney is urging airlines to implement comprehensive customer-of-size policies that prioritize the comfort and well-being of all passengers. Chaney’s advocacy stems from her personal experiences of facing discrimination and challenges while flying due to her size. She highlights the unfairness of having to pay two fares for the same travel experience that smaller-bodied individuals receive for one fare. Despite acknowledging that changing these policies may lead to increased ticket prices for all passengers, Chaney emphasizes the importance of addressin...

Riona was cruelly set on fire — after a year of recovery, she’s finally going to her new home

It’s truly unbelievable how cruel some people can be to dogs. A sweet pup named Riona suffered as much as anybody after being brutally set on fire by her owner last year. But almost exactly a year after that horrific incident, Riona is finally going to her new home. Last June, residents in Nutbush, Tennessee witnessed a shocking site as Riona, a pitbull mix, ran down the street engulfed in flames. The smell of gas made it clear that she had been intentionally set on fire. “All you could smell was gas,” Mallory Mclemore of Bluff City Veterinary Specialists told Memphis Commercial Appeal. “She was burnt and covered in diesel fuel… It confirmed she was set on fire via witness statements,” Ginger Natoli, founder of the Tails of Hope Dog Rescue, told Newsweek. “We have obtai...

This 1955 song is one of the best ever recorded

Written by Alex North and Hy Zaret in 1955, this song is one of the most iconic ever, with its influence spanning decades. Originally performed by Todd Duncan, it has since been covered by over 670 artists in different languages, but The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 version brought it lasting fame. Their rendition is often considered the definitive version, with its soaring vocals and emotional depth capturing listeners around the world. The song’s emotional intensity, highlighted by its powerful high notes, continues to resonate with listeners. On a video of the song, which has reached 76 million views, one fan even commented: “I swear I can feel the chills going up and down my back when he hits those high notes. I feel like crying knowing that this amazing man is gone.” In...

When Meat Loaf showed everyone how the National Anthem should be sung

No ego. No self-indulgent ornamentation. No nonsense. Meat Loaf’s performance of the National Anthem at the 1994 All-Star Game is arguably the best rendition ever. There are countless classic renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” For me, Chris Stapleton’s heartfelt performance at Super Bowl 2023 stands out among the best. But I find it hard to argue against those who believe that the legendary Meat Loaf, with his iconic version of the national anthem at the 1994 All-Star Game in Pittsburgh, is truly the best of all time. Accompanied by the Penn State ROTC Color Guard, Meat Loaf’s performance in 1994 was no coincidence. Dressed in a rainbow brocade vest The rock ’n’ roll star, who had a major resurgence in the ’90s, was hotter than a microwave that year. Thanks to an album...
