Travis Scott partnered with McDonalds to bring the world the Cactus Jack, Travis’s very own McD meal, available from now until October 4. The two also collabed on merch, from an extensive t-shirt line to a nugget-shaped body pillow (which is v realistic in my humble opinion).
Dr Phil went viral online again...i have to say it, the man just understands Gen-Z. This time, the video that went viral depicted Dr Phil kindly asking his followers to stop referring to him as their daddy. His TikTok, set to some emotional music, racked up over 22 million views on the platform.
Fortnite announced a new concert series, launching this Saturday with a performance by Dominic Fike.

It’s official, guys. We successfully kept up with the Kardashians. Kim announced on her IG this week that the 20-season reality TV reign of Keeping Up With the Kardashians is over. The series spanned 14 years and catapulted the sisters into the spotlight in the past years.
It’s gotten to the point where it’s hard to click through a few instagram stories without coming across at least one intense-ass, face-altering makeup filter. In a recent survey of 1500 girls aged 11-21, 39% reported that they “felt upset that they could not look the same in real life as they did online.” To combat this dangerous mindset, some influencers are posting what they call #bodypositive content, sharing side-by-side photos of their posed body vs. their normal content. After one 4-year-old student shared that she already wanted to change the way she looked, her preschool teacher decided to go to work without makeup for one week to try to dispel the unrealistic beauty standards her young students are already faced with. Experts recommend thinking critically about who you follow on social media, and setting yourself up to see just as many #bodypositive posts as you do filtered selfies.
These days it’s hard to click through instagram stories without coming across at least one intense-ass, face-altering makeup filter. In a recent survey of 1500 girls aged 11-21, 39% reported that they “felt upset that they could not look the same in real life as they did online.” To combat this dangerous mindset, some influencers are posting what they call #bodypositive content, sharing side-by-side photos of their posed body vs. their normal content. Other women are going to work without makeup and others are even proposing new laws that will add warning labels to enhanced photos.
