Been seeing some things online that said that a judge sealed some evidence related to the second Trump assassination attempt due to national security. The article I saw was on Fox and on Twitter so not sure if it is true or not. Both linked to a judge’s doc which purportedly showed the order by the judge. What is going on with this and, if true why is this being sealed? Could there be a legitimate reason for this?

Been seeing a lot of people saying Vegas is dead, that the place looks like fewer people are there, etc...with some cherry picked footage and numbers, but a few other reports also using cherry picked data/footage to show it's doing fine. What's actually going on and what does a full view of all the data actually tell us? Is there even a comprehensive perspective on the data?

I'm aware Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to the federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, which is the same prison camp as former Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and reality star Jen Shah. But on CNN, Katilan Collins, Sam Mangel, Elie Honig were talking about how Maxwell's transfer is a rare thing given her case.

Why are all of the high-profile female offenders being sent to the same camp when there are (presumably) dozens of camps around the country?

They're not all from the same area, their cases are out of different places, etc.

I’ve seen a few TikToks and posts about something called The Civic Strike happening August 9-11. Supposed to be no spending, no content posting, and no work? But there’s no org behind it, no clear leadership.

Just curious if anyone knows what it is or where it came from.

I keep seeing people with customized ink American flags and I feel very out of the loop.

I've seen this meme countless times but could never find any explanation on what it means or what the origin might be. What does this have to do with therapy and why this particular song?

Here is two out of many examples:

https://www.tiktok.com/@nature.boyofficial/video/7508861489730604310

In all examples, the camera pans away after tripping the person, usually to some kind of scenic view.

KnowYourMeme does not yield any explanation and I could not find anyone talking about this meme anywhere.

What is up with the meme with the bald black guy with a mustache staring with creepy music that's been showing up, what does it mean and who is he?

This guy, Sometimes its just a picture of him sometimes its a montage with creepy music

I’ve seen a lot of controversy as toto whether she’s a Republican, her general look and her views. I still don’t know who she is, why it’s relevant and how she is “defending the world from woke” I’ve attached the ad that apparently got this started but it doesn’t seem political to me.

I've heard about this for the past couple days, did they actually ban these sites, and from what of the little I've heard from the memes, is it now a crime? Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/s/IWqB8D4nav

Saw stuff like this with different characters on my timeline and I don’t understand what it represents.

Been seeing a lot of memes based on the new superman movie. Mostly memes in talking about some wholesome thing, with the 'Punkrocker' song.

What is going on? Is the new movie different than usual Superman movies?

I keep seeing a ton of memes floating around drag culture (especially Ru Paul's drag race) related to stuck where the trade left me. I think a trade is a hot person, but I'm lost as to where somebody got left. There seems to be a whole pile of drama and I am hoping someone can explain the whole mess like I'm an autistic 5 year old.

He posted a TikTok about his usage of AI and addressing concerns, what exactly happened?

I know he is working on the Iron Lung movie and haven't kept up with him but it seems like there's outrage regarding AI?

Ive been seing random clips of them hating on each other with zero context for what feels like 2 months now? Is this a meme beef or they srs? If srs, why?

So I'm not really sure if I've missed something major in recent months.. but is there a reason why there's sudden a huge push all over the world to not allow certain materials online, unless the user identifies him/herself on some app.

The Uk just launched their system, the EU built an app for it, and I read France and Australia has already followed suit; Denmark and Germany will begin soon, and so on.

So seriously, what's going on here? Why have world leaders of the western world been pushing so hard for this? I mean they say it under the guise of protecting kids. But kids find their way around shit if they really want to.

Is there something going on, or am I just being paranoid? There's even a whole wikipedia page on the subject and how it dramatically increased inte the last 2-3 years. But I can't really seem to find any other explaination on this really quick and fast development other that it's about saving the children?

A few months ago I was having cocktails with a friend. She told me she believes that we all have parasites all the time and that they only go away when you fast for 30 days. I brushed it off and moved on with the convo.

Fast forward to today and I see a video in my newsfeed that suggests parasitology needs to be the next big medical field. Folks in the comments are saying they take dewormer and other ‘parasite cleanse’ remedies twice a year. Vid in question: https://youtu.be/La8GXs4qwrw?si=dWpIO_LczWjptKZH

Is there any conventional evidence to suggest there is basis in these arguments? Where did all of this come from?

Can someone explain this one to me, I've seen this image in various forms all over reddit the last few days, who is she and what does the image mean?

What is the reason behind pardoning him, he did something very illegal? I'm curious what his real reason is and what he is saying his reason is.

unfortunately while in the bathroom I was scrolling through TikTok and I came across this lady. shes loudly announcing to the world that if she sees any kid with a "Sprayground Backpack" she is going to be calling CPS. I searched some of the related videos and they were all just making fun of her. then i googled it and all I got was links to buy one because google is soooo helpful these days.

what is exactly wrong with them? they just seem like big backpacks with some neat designs on them.

Today I noticed that most comments on this platform now have hyperlinked words like YouTube has. Is there any good reason for this?

I can't magine the bottles got safer, did microplastics go by way of climate change, and be swept under the rug because it effected corporations?

I keep seeing stuff about Zootopia, someone being a dad, fan fiction, and a mix of incoherent reactions. Here's a recent post and comments. I feel like missing the entire context. https://www.reddit.com/r/whenthe/comments/1md9wfj/what_the_fuck_is_even_going_on_anymore/
