Every day, thousands of stories are passed around the internet on blogs and via Twitter. A new study by Journalism.org has examined the source of those stories. It turns out, most of them come from old-school media. We may like to share information via Twitter, but the information we share comes from the morning's newspaper. This video looks at where blogs and Twitter users are getting their stories, and what kind of stories their users are most likely to link to.

Freddie Mercury's final proper stage appearance was a dream realized.

Freddie Mercury's final performance in 1988 was the operatic moment he waited his life for

Unsurprisingly, given the sheer grandiosity of Queen—who notably titled their definitive album A Night at the Opera—Freddie Mercury was always inspired by that musical form. He was especially taken by the renowned soprano of Spanish vocalist Montserrat Caballé, and, in 1988, the pair released the collaborative album Barcelona, a "dream come true" project that wound up being Mercury’s last.

That record also led to the Queen singer’s reported final stage appearance in October of that year: a powerful (though possibly lip-synched) three-song presentation at Barcelona’s La Nit festival. It was a major moment for Mercury, who was diagnosed with AIDS the previous year and died in 1991, at the young age of 45, from complications of the disease.

Bride honors late son at her wedding and is stunned by who shows up to fill his seat

When Becky lost her 19-year-old son Triston, the pain was immeasurable. But in the face of tragedy, there was one thread of hope: Triston's organs, including his heart, went on to save the lives of others.

Two years after his passing, Becky was preparing to marry her partner, Kelly. At the ceremony, they reserved a seat in Triston's memory. On that chair was a sign with a touching message:

Golden retriever's heartbreaking farewell to owners captures internet's heart

Dogs might not speak our language, but their emotions are often heartbreakingly clear. One golden retriever named Wally has become the internet’s latest emotional icon, after a TikTok video captured his gut-wrenching reaction to his parents leaving for vacation.

The clip, posted by @wally.meets.world, quickly went viral, resonating with pet lovers everywhere. In it, Wally is comforted by his owner as he leans against her, visibly distressed. His golden head is bowed, eyes sorrowful, and the soft growls he emits feel like a canine version of a sob.

New research shows a surprising number of Americans think coupons are okay for a first date

First dates can be very exciting, anxiety-inducing, annoying, fun, and stressful all at once. Whether the date was fun or a nightmare, the bill always comes due. According to past dating norms, the gentleman is expected to flash some cash or a credit card to fully pay for the date. However, a recent survey is saying that paying for the date with a coupon isn’t a deal breaker. In fact, it might make you appear more attractive.

A 2025 Talker Research survey of 2,000 Americans showed that 56% of people thought using coupons on a first date is okay. On top of that, 28% considered that type of frugality “sexy” and 56% believed that “flashing cash” and other ways to show off wealth were a turn-off. All of this is reinforced by the fact that over 60% of the respondents wanted a date that was happy to look for deals.

Bangkok restaurant has been boiling the same pot of beef stew for over 50 years

Over 50 years ago, Nattapong Kaweenuntawong’s grandfather started boiling a pot of beef stew at his restaurant and it hasn’t stopped simmering since. Now, three generations later, Kaweenuntawong is still serving from that same soup base that his grandfather started. While each evening the soup is properly stored and the pot is cleaned, the family leaves a bit of the soup still simmering overnight and into the morning when it’s replenished.

"We never make it new, instead, we store it every night and we add new ingredients and water to it everyday,” Kaweenuntawong told Business Insider. He made sure to add that the cauldron the soup is boiled in "never gets empty."

How one Ohio activist got city officials to challenge conversion therapy

What does it take to make change? Sometimes it takes a letter.

Ohio-based activist Brandon West is just 23-tears-old and has already been advocating for LGBTQ+ civil rights for years. This spring he reached out to several Ohio mayors whose cities have already banned conversion therapy in hopes that they would sign “a joint statement in support of banning conversion therapy” that would also encourage more cities to follow their lead. As of last week, West’s emailing and petitioning has worked. Five mayors of Ohio towns signed, and there are potentially even more to come.

"Grandma can't wait to get back to Disneyland."

Images taken from YouTube video.

Grandma was delighted with an adventure to her childhood happy place.

How many seemingly magic moments have you captured in your own lifetime? How many seconds have brought you wonder and connection? How many opportunities do you have left with those people you really love and that mean the most? This isn’t a pass fail test nor an accusation that you might be doing it all wrong. This is more an occasion to recognize one family doing it right. And yes, maybe some effort and money and most importantly time to allow it to happen.

Grandma Barbara loves Disneyland. It was her childhood's happy place, and she hadn't visited for 30 years. As a surprise her family decided to take her there. Grandma's reaction in the video is honest and heartwarming, “Going to see Cinderella?” The video follows up with some moments around the park demonstrating Grandma Barbara is having a great time.
