This woman found out her husband was cheating in the most unexpected way but with the most cliche person. Can you guess who he cheated on her with?
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr.), who dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed former President Donald Trump, has conservatives saying “MAHA.” Critics of RFK Jr. are jumping on the new phrase, pointing to his conspiratorial track record regarding health.
People have been feeding screenshots of their Instagram feeds into ChatGPT so the chatbot can take them to task. The results are going viral on Instagram, X, and Reddit, where people are thoroughly enjoying an artificially intelligent roast.
Despite the yearly mockery, the Pumpkin Spice Latte boosts coffee sales every time. This year, the tradition began earlier than ever, with Starbucks bringing it back on August 22.
