TikToker Goes On “McDonald’s Run” While Suffering From Monkeypox, Twitter Disgusted
“What’s good, y’all? My bad, I’m not in the house. I had to go make a McDonald’s run ’cause I ain’t got no groceries. I ain’t got no food,” he says in the upload. Once that disclaimer was out of the way, he issued a brief PSA, encouraging people to look out for themselves and not contract monkeypox. “I just wanted to make this video to remind y’all to be careful who you f**k with,” he proclaims. “Because not everybody who you f**k with is gonna f***k with you.” Bruh…what?! We’re willing to be there are social services that could have sent along some food. Or since he has the money for the food and gas, he could have ordered takeout and have the delivery person leave it at his door. So, make it make sense. Also, he’s reportedly pushing his music with all the attention, but we’re good. ...

Controversial Bluey Episode About Farting Coming to Disney+
Earlier this month, Disney+ added the first half of Season 3 of the Australian kids show Bluey to its library — minus one episode entitled “Family Meeting.” Following some blowback, the streamer has decided to add the episode, whose fart-centric plot didn’t initially meet Disney’s broadcast standards, to its catalog after all. Bluey follows the antics of a family of red and blue heelers. In the 2021 episode “Family Meeting,” the titular blue heeler accuses her dad, Bandit, of “fluffing” (or farting) in her face, prompting her mom, Chilli, to lead a faux trial to determine who’s telling the truth. Disney originally decided that the episode was unfit to air on the Disney Junior channel, but a spokesperson recently told Pirates and Princesses that “Family Meeting” would, in fac...

Police Believe They Stopped Potential Mass Shooting at Bass Canyon EDM Festival

10 Greatest Moments in KCON History So Far
With 10 years of perspective, one can confidentially say that the timing for launching America’s biggest K-pop festival couldn’t have been better. In the summer of 2012, K-pop was breaking into the American vernacular thanks to the massively viral success of PSY‘s “Gangnam Style.” The inescapable horsey-dance hit entered the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in September. It would spend seven consecutive weeks at the No. 2 position, coinciding with performances at the MTV Video Music Awards, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Saturday Night Live and the American Music Awards. While “Gangnam Style” was rocketing up the charts, KCON was announced as a first-of-its-kind convention/festival hybrid that looked to honor all things Korean-pop culture. Taking place at the now-shuttered Ve...
