TikToker goes off on creepy men invading her personal space and women cheer her on

A woman’s plea against two strangers that invaded her personal space has been sparking conversation about creepy men, cringe behavior, and threats against women’s safety throughout the Internet. In a viral TikTok, a woman and her friend are asking two strangers that have sat at their table at a restaurant to leave. Instead of going to sit at a clearly open and clear table, the men stay seated, making the women feel uncomfortable. This left the woman little choice but to make a spectacle for her safety.

“Go, I’m begging, on my knees, go!” she pleaded. “Go to the table where there’s no people! It’s right there, go!” The men continued to ignore her, even though she and her friend made it clear that they were uncomfortable. Not that they should need to explain, but they even stated that they were both in relationships when one of the men expressed interest in her friend. When the men continued to refuse to leave, the women tried to leave to an empty table with the men still trying to follow them. She even yelled “WITCH!” and pointed at the men as an effort to draw attention.

Even people who don't like wrestling are blown away by 11-backflip move never seen before

A viral clip from a professional wrestling event in Japan is impressing both fans and non-fans alike. In the clip, Ninja Mack, a masked American wrestler, is seen doing 11 backflips, starting from inside the ring going over the top rope, to the floor, and up the entrance ramp to kick this fleeing opponent.

The response to this impressive feat of athleticism caught cheers and attention not just from pro wrestling fans, but the general public. Folks on Reddit, X, and other social media have expressed outright awe over the multiple successive backflips Ninja Mack performed as an equally remarkable and hilarious spectacle. The video of Mack’s “Super Ninja Special” as he calls it has reportedly garnered over 70 million views as of this writing.

'I know it's giving delulu...' Professor shocks students by giving speech in Gen Alpha slang

A polyglot YouTube sensation with 6.65M subscribers, Xiaoma has become known in the last few years for popular videos where he surprises people by speaking their language, whether it’s Mandarin, Urdu, Twi, or another of the 68 total languages he has learned. He travels the world engaging with people and celebrating their cultures. The most recent audiences he surprised, though, were made up of Gen Alpha high school students and Gen Z college graduates in the U.S.

Xiaoma spent weeks learning Gen Alpha slang, he said–where some of the slang itself is AAVE that has since been appropriated–and delivered speeches at Philadelphia’s Westtown School for their Language Week and Ohio State University for their Multilingual Language Education commencement ceremony. Amid his own self-aware, self-described nerdiness, many audience members peppered his speeches with appreciative laughter, but there were still messages in both that stood out.

'Who do you want to be skinny for?': How one body image therapist tackles the 'skinny' obsession

Though she’s since pulled away from the phrase “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” model Kate Moss sent the idea spinning into the universe in a 2009 Women’s Wear Daily interview that lit the tail-end of the aughts on fire. The body image conversation it generated is still happening today, but in new ways. Indeed, it has grown many new branches since then.

For some, this conversation continues through the body positivity movement (and its related, though not inherent, toxicity), the body neutrality movement, or many other ways of thinking that attempt to counteract the negative ways many women have come to engage with their bodies. Because the negativity itself does persist. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, “over 90% of women dislike their bodies and 97% of women have an ‘I hate my body’ moment every day.” Body image therapist Lucie Vallée has a theory as to why.

Doctor shares touching whiteboard message a daughter wrote for her mom with dementia

Anyone who's cared for a loved one with dementia knows just how heartbreaking the experience can be. The disease chips away at memory, reasoning, and communication, often leaving families scrambling to find ways to offer comfort and stability. But one daughter’s creative and compassionate approach has gone viral, and for good reason.

Dr. Philip Grimmer, a physician from Wiltshire, UK, was visiting a dementia patient when he noticed a whiteboard in the woman’s living room. On it, her daughter had written a short list of reassurances, reminders meant to soothe her mother’s recurring fears. Moved by the simplicity and tenderness of the gesture, Dr. Grimmer shared a photo of the board on X (formerly Twitter).

A silly controversy

Teen sent home over 'modest' outfit that a teacher found uncomfortable

A Canadian high school senior found herself at the center of a school controversy after her outfit—a white turtleneck under a black knee-length dress—was labeled "awkward" by school staff. The student, 17-year-old Karis Wilson, was removed from class at NorKam Senior Secondary School in Kamloops, British Columbia, and ultimately left school in tears. Her father, Christopher Wilson, spoke out about the incident in a Facebook Live video (since deleted) that quickly gained traction online.

"Today my daughter was sent home for wearing clothing that made her female teacher and her male student-teacher 'feel uncomfortable,'" Wilson wrote on Facebook, according to Daily Mail. "Centered out in front of her class and told she needs to leave class and brought her to the VP’s before she went home in tears. After asking her how she would like me to handle it she said she wanted to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen to the students that come after her. Please stand with Karis and [me] and make sure that those involved are held accountable and that this never happens again."
