    [ad_1]

    TikTok users were left ‘confused’ and ‘scared’ after a well-known influencer and spiritual guru suggested that he had drowned.

    William Knight (@grandrisingapp) boasts an impressive 1.6m followers on TikTok and a further 145k followers on Instagram. His brand of spiritual content resonates with fans who often applaud his unique sense of style and guided meditations.

    Knight also operates his Grand Rising app, which offers users daily affirmations. According to the App Store, “Grand Rising was designed to send you specialized reminders to help you align with your dream life throughout the day. Every single thought that we have every single day is an affirmation.”

    Earlier this week, Knight posted a carousel of images to his bustling TikTok account, with the first showing him in his iconic wide-brimmed hat. Beneath the first picture, another social media user had written, “It’s so sad this guy drowned, he was kinda funny.”

    The next image showed a screenshot of an obituary-style post featuring Knight and a crying anime character, leading fans to question whether the shocking post was real. The following few images showed Knight in all-black and brandishing enormous similarly-coloured angel wings.

    Captioning the post, he wrote: “There is no such thing as a coincidence, the fact that you’re watching this video means you are energetically aligned with me and this message. Listen to my Guided meditation to shift to your Dream Reality.”

    Naturally, fans questioned whether the news of his death was real.

    Since Drake released For All the Dogs, there has been a lot of anticipation surrounding a new merch line, and an unofficial graphic t-shirt on display at a Target store is making fans’ dreams come true.

    T-shirt inspired by Drake’s album isn’t sold at Target

    Let’s start by clarifying that the graphic t-shirt teased on TikTok isn’t officially sold by Drake‘s brand or Target. The overlay text on the item: “Drake fans need to run to Target ASAP”, is misleading. It isn’t clear if the item will be available at the superstore in the future.

    The TikTok account dedicated to the clothing store Eternal Iconz has created the graphic tees inspired by For All The Dogs and is expected to be released on December 8th at 3 PM PST.

    While the item should be available on the brand’s online store on the given date, it won’t be sold at Target. The content creator claims in the comments that the item is displayed in the store only for the sake of promotion.

    The brand’s Instagram post announcing the item notes that it’s giving free t-shirts to the top 3 “Most Active” in the comments. You must like and share the post to enter the contest for free goodies.

    Viral tee is inspired by For All The Dogs album

    The white t-shirt by Eternal Iconz depicts a picture of Drake in colorful hair clips. The rapper sported the unique hairdo on multiple occasions ahead of the release of his album and is carrying the same look in the music video of 8AM in Charlotte. It even inspired some creative Halloween costumes!

    On one side, the tee showcases the picture of a goat drawn by his little son, which is also the cover art of his album.

    The back of the t-shirt displays graphic images of Drake below the title of the album. The clothing brand hasn’t revealed the price of the item, but most t-shirts on the website inspired by other famous musicians and sports stars are all sold for $49.99.

    Rare collectible sends fans wild

    The rare collectible is days away from releasing and fans are already looking for it frantically in Target stores and its online shop!

    “This has me going to the online app to find it,” said one.

    “It took me so long to read the caption and realize they aren’t sold at Target. sigh,” added another.

    A third fan wrote: “Don’t you ever play with my feelings like that! I need this.”

    “I went to Target after seeing this and the shirt wasn’t there,” read one comment.

    Beyonce’s fans want a Renaissance live album

    A live album typically features the singer or band’s performance before the live audience, and Beyonce‘s fans want to see that more than the actual studio album.

    Today, she dropped the new track My House along with the worldwide release of her concert film, prompting fans to discuss the possibility of a live album.

    And, a few others, upon watching clips of her live performance in the movie, are hoping that she drops a full-fledged project only focusing on her live shows.

    However, Beyonce neither hinted at doing anything of the sort nor addressed the rumors.

    It isn’t known if Beyonce has more bonus tracks lined up to support her hit album.

    Fans are growing impatient

    Fans have taken to social media to request Beyonce to release a live album for her latest project “immediately” as they can’t wait for it anymore.

    “When Beyoncé releases the Renaissance live album it’s a wrap,” said one.

    “If Beyoncé surprise drops the ‘Renaissance’ live album next Friday, I am going to be distraught,” said another.

    A third user asked: “Beyoncé that song is cute but where is the live album??? Where are the visuals to Renaissance?”

    “I better wake up to a Renaissance live album, goodnight,” read another comment.

    Renaissance movie doesn’t play My House

    My House’s release coincides with Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce, but the song isn’t featured in the movie.

    The movie is a part-documentary and part-concert film that navigates the Renaissance World Tour. It also showcases bits from her personal life and features her mother Tina Knowles, husband Jay-Z, and daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

    The concert film is currently playing in AMC theaters in the United States and will be screened for at least four weeks.

    Years’ TikTok Christmas advert has dog owners «sobbing» after watching

    [ad_1]

    A viral Christmas advert has left dog owners in tears thanks to the emotional story, highlighting the joy our four-legged friends bring to us all year round. 

    Christmas is a time to spend and appreciate with family and friends – including K9 ones too. Dog food brand Years’ 2023 Christmas advert has pulled at the heartstrings of thousands, who say the sad story left them sobbing.

    The advert went viral on TikTok after being posted on December 1st. 

    Years’ Christmas advert is a heartbreaking one

    The emotional advert tells the story of two dog owners and the similar joy and companionship their pets bring to their lives.

    An elderly man reads his newspaper, joined by his pet dog. A young schoolgirl returns home, greeted by her excited dog. Scenes show the joys their dogs bring into their lives.

    The old man is seen drinking alone in the pub with his dog perched by his side as he welcomes strangers to pet him too. Those strangers ignite conversation with the older man who sat alone.

    After being grounded by her mom, the young girl forgets her anger when her loving pup consolidates her.

    A sad twist that might just jerk some tears

    One scene shows how important dogs can be when the man receives a call letting him know a family member has passed away. That evening, he eats dinner side-by-side with his dog.

    It’s sadly met with the unchangeable – that all dogs go to heaven. Both pup owners return home to the sad news that their dog has walked along the rainbow that day. While waiting at the vet clinic, they sit next to each other and speak about their dogs. “At least they’ll be going up there together ey,” says the man.

    “I’m actually bawling my eyes out,” wrote one user.

    “Well now I’m sobbing on a Friday morning,” reads one comment.

    One TikTok user shared: “We lost our dog in October and I am a sobbing mess.”

    “If I had to uncontrollably sob, so do you,” commented one user while tagging their friend.

    Corona City Police chase deer through Sam’s Club store in entertaining video

    [ad_1]

    Security cameras caught the entertaining moment California police had to chase a loose deer around a Sam’s Club this week as it refused to be caught. 

    Police in Corona, California shared the footage to social media yesterday, December 2. The scene looked like it could have been straight from a comedy movie scene, as an officer struggled to get close to the darting deer. 

    A deer police chase in the Sam’s Club

    Carona Police Department said it received multiple calls from concerned locals throughout the morning and early afternoon on Thursday. 

    “The young buck ran through yards, jumped a wall, and took a brief dip in a backyard pool before entering a Sam’s Club on Ontario Avenue,” wrote the police on Instagram.

    Despite having a tiring wild morning out, the buck wasn’t too exhausted to put the police through their paces while in the store.

    Footage shared by the police department showed the “mastermind deer” pacing through the Sam’s Club (with Run Rudolph Run added as background music). The deer sped past a shopper who turned in surprise. An officer followed shortly after, running behind the deer through aisle after aisle.

    Eventually, the deer halted and the police officer caught up with it. Officers stayed with the deer until animal control arrived at the scene. Animal control was later able to release the deer back into the wild where it belongs, rather than the snacks aisle.

    Deers are decreasing in California

    According to state statistics, deer are currently on the decrease in California. Estimates by officials report around 475,000 deer in 2023, pre-hunt season. However, the estimated deer kill from the annual hunt fell by around six percent from 2022 to 2023, pointing to a decline in population.

    Roadkill reports also pointed to a decline in the amount of deer in road-kill incidents, once more indicating a decline in the overall population of deer in California.

    Animals found in surprising places

    The deer isn’t the only animal in the US trying to get its Christmas shopping in it would seem. In November, a bear made headlines across the country after a security camera caught the bear stealing from a store.

    The early-rising bear entered the store at 6:30 a.m. and grabbed a pack of gummy bears with its mouth before running off without paying of course. A shop owner, who was behind the counter with his morning coffee at the time, told the media that the bear then went into the parking lot to devour the candy.

    Guy leaks McDonald’s CosMc’s menu

    A guy from Chicago, Iman Jalali, visited the new fast food restaurant and shared pictures of the rumored menu on Twitter/X.

    It hasn’t been confirmed by the chain, but he claimed the menu was up as they were filming a commercial.

    “McDonald’s is launching a new concept and I was just there and grabbed pics of a whole new menu of items never been offered before,” he wrote.

    “The concept is being launched in Bollingrbook, IL and it’s called CosMc’s. It’s not open yet and there was a full team of actors in the drive thru filming a commercial.”

    “I was able to snap a few pics from afar It’s a mix of A LOT of new drink offerings and an all day breakfast menu of new items too.”

    Rumored CosMc’s menu revealed

    The leaked Cosmc’s menu shows a variety of drinks, sandwiches and baked goods, some of which have a space theme.

    Drinks-wise, there are iced teas, lemonades, slushes, frappes, brews and their own special “Signature Galactic Boosts”.

    The trademarked fruity drinks include a Sour Cherry Energy Burst, Berry Hibiscus Sour-Ade, Island Pick-Me-Up Punch and Blueberry Ginger Boost.

    There are only two sandwich options on the menu, a Spicy Queso Sandwich and Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich.

    However, the pictures show a variety of baked goods, small bites and soft serve ice creams to enjoy afterwards.

    Plus, there are two well-known McDonald’s items on there too – breakfast McMuffins and McFlurrys.

    Chain likened to Dutch Bros and Dunkin’

    In the comments, people are saying CosMc’s looks similar to Dutch Bros, Dunkin’ and Tim Hortons with its rumored offerings.

    One person wrote: “This will do well. I’m not joking. It’s Dutch Bros with breakfast food. As someone in the industry I can see this doing well.”

    “What’s CosMc trying to be? Another Tim Hortons, a land grab like Dunkin?” asked another.

    A third person added: “This new McDonalds concept, CosMc’s looks and could be the nail in the coffin to Dutch Bros after looking at the menu.”

    Donald Trump ‘Spotify Wrapped’ image sparks jokes about politician’s top artist

    [ad_1]

    An unverified picture of Donald Trump checking his Spotify Wrapped which is likely to be photoshopped has gone viral on social media.

    The hilarious image is taking over Twitter/X this week, where people are joking about what the former president’s Spotify playlist would include.

    Donald Trump ‘Spotify Wrapped’ image

    In the image, Donald Trump is sitting on a gold chair next to his wife Melania. They are at a dinner and he has an iPad in his hands.

    On the screen is what looks like a Spotify Wrapped playlist, which compiles users’ most-played songs at the end of the year.

    You can clearly see a photo of one of Frank Sinatra’s albums on the left next to a long list of other song titles on the right.

    Wrapped launched in 2016 and returns every November, telling people cool statistics about their listening habits.

    Viral Trump picture is probably fake

    The image has been shared numerous times on the internet this week following the release of Spotify Wrapped 2023.

    However, it’s likely to be fake news as the photo has only ever been shared on social media and meme sites.

    A simple image search reveals it was shared on the Chinese site Weibo with the caption: “Trump looking at his Spotify annual summary.”

    The politician was probably holding a menu in the picture, not an iPad, and the whole thing is likely to have been made using photoshop.

    Internet jokes about Trump’s top artist

    The picture has had almost 500,000 views and people are joking about what would be on the politician’s Spotify Wrapped in the comments.

    One person wrote: “Definitely Kendrick Lamar as top artist!”

    “Lil Wayne for sure,” another joked.

    A third person added: “Probably Josh Groban and Michael Buble.”

    “Trump is a Nickelback kind of guy,” another added.

    Someone else wrote: “Titanium by David Guetta and Sia.”

    The thought of Trump rapping along to Kendrick Lamar or rocking out to Nickelback is just hilarious!

    Adidas calls NBA star Kevin Durant ‘dusty’ in hilarious deleted tweet

    [ad_1]

    Adidas labeled NBA player Kevin Durant “dusty” in a hilarious deleted tweet, before claiming it was meant for a burner account instead. 

    The tweet has of course not gone unnoticed and has since been shared by NBA fans across X, formally known as Twitter.

    “U dusty bouta retire soon anyway,” the official Adidas account tweeted today, giving its two cents into a lighthearted sportsman beef between Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards.

    The story behind Adidas’ tweet to Kevin Durant 

    Adidas’ shots fired at Durant didn’t exactly come out of nowhere. Earlier this week, NBA player Anthony Edwards was filmed saying that of all players, he’d like Durant to try out his Adidas sneakers. Durant signed a lifetime deal with rival sports brand Nike earlier this year.

    After seeing the circulating video, Durant took to X to give his answer. “Won’t ever see me put a big toe in them MFers,” he wrote. 

    Adidas wasn’t going to take the insult lying down though and took to Durant’s replies, albeit only briefly. “U dusty bouta retire soon anyway,” wrote the brand. The tweet has since been deleted but the evidence is still there.

    Shortly after, the Adidas account again replied to the tweet, instead writing: “Meant to send that from the burner account…” 

    Twitter has been alight with reactions to the tweet

    Sports fans have been entertained by the company-athlete banter and many have been sharing proof of it across social media. Some have even been taking aim at Adidas, claiming that the brand should have stood its ground, instead of deleting the tweet to Durant.

    “Bring the tweet back,” wrote one user. “Stand on binness. Take care of your responsibilities.”

    “Wait. Why did you delete the tweet? It will live on in screenshots,” added another X user.

    Another noted: “Adidas deleting that tweet has me wheezing.”

    “This is a social media genius,” tweeted one Adidas fan, in response to users claiming whoever’s behind the tweet might be in trouble. 

    Anthony Edwards working with Adidas

    The eye of this whole storm was Anthony Edwards’ Adidas sneaker. His first signature sneaker, the AE1, will be released on December 16th.

    Durant might not be eager to try even a big toe in them, but fans certainly are. The shoes are available directly from Adidas both online and in-store and will cost $120.

    The shoes are dedicated to Edwards’ mother and grandmother with the cream-orange colorway, as they are their favorite colors. This colorway is titled “With Love.”

    Spotify puts star on Taylor Swift songs

    Every time you play one of Taylor Swift’s many hits on Spotify, a cute star appears on the progress bar at the bottom.

    While the song is playing, the glistening star moves along to indicate how many seconds through the track you are.

    People have taken to Twitter/X in confusion, with one person writing: “Now why do Taylor Swift songs have a star on the Spotify progress time bar thingy?”

    “Someone explain to me why Spotify shows a little star only when I listen to Taylor Swift,” said another.

    Why is there a star on the progress bar?

    The star is there because the Anti-Hero singer was named Spotify’s most-streamed artist in 2023 earlier this week.

    “For a limited time, when you play one of her songs on Spotify, watch as the progress bar changes and sparkles to match the song’s era color.”

    Leading up to the announcement, the streaming platform revealed 21 puzzle pieces with Swift-themed easter eggs in billboards.

    The clues led to a a spotlight video with nods to her universe, featuring everything from cats to her well known red lips.

    Taylor Swift thanks fans with new song

    The singer took to Instagram after she was named as Spotify’s top artist and thanked fans with a brand new song.

    “Um ok this is unreal?? I just wanted to say to anyone who listened to my music this year, anywhere in the world, thank you,” she wrote.

    She said getting named at Spotify’s Global Top Artist in 2023 is “truly the best birthday/holiday gift you could’ve given me”.

    “So I was trying to think of a way to thank you, and a lot of you have been asking me to put ‘You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)’ on streaming… so here you go!”

    He was completely unaware that the reptile was there – but social media users say he should expected it seeing as he lives in Florida.

    Guy finds 9ft crocodile living in pond

    In the viral video, the TikTok user films a large pond in his backyard and says: “We would swim in this pond all the time.”

    “Eve uncle Bob would sunbathe out on the pond. Then one morning I spotted this dinosaur,” he continues.

    The Florida resident zooms into a huge 9 foot 1 inch crocodile peering right at him eerily from just below the water’s surface.

    They safely got him removed from the pond and relocated, and a clip of the croc on the grass shows its sheer size.

    “You never know what’s lurkin’ in your backyard pond,” he wrote in the caption with the hashtag: “#closecall.”

    ‘I wouldn’t trust a puddle in Florida’

    The clip has had more than 12.8 million views, but people aren’t very sympathetic in the comments.

    One person wrote: “Bro I grew up in Florida and number one rule is there is always one in there.”

    “I wouldn’t trust a puddle in Florida,” another agreed.

    A third person added: “You live in Florida and you’re surprised you have one in your pond?”

    “It blows my mind seeing anyone in water you can’t see the bottom of in Florida,” someone else wrote.

    Another commented: “Number one rule of Florida… If there’s water, there’s gators.”

    Florida has an estimated 2,000 crocodiles and over one million alligators. It is the only place where they coexist.

    Song from TikTok’s Ceiling Challenge is stuck in everyone’s heads

    [ad_1]

    The Ceiling Challenge continues to take over social media this month and the song is playing on repeat in everyone’s heads.

    What is the song from the Ceiling Challenge?

    The Ceiling Challenge track is a song called Surround Sound by rapper JID featuring 21 Savage and Baby Tate.

    It dropped in January 2022 as the lead single from JID’s third album The Forever Story and was produced by DJ Scheme, Christo, and Nuri.

    The track contains a sample of Aretha Franklin’s One Step Ahead, a slow ballad that was released in 1965.

    JID is a huge fan of the trend and wrote on Instagram: “This new trend has taken a new life of its own and this s**t is amazing.”

    “Keep being creative in these videos, we are going to do something special for this moment very soon!!!” he continued.

    Where the Ceiling Challenge originated

    The viral challenge involves taping your phone to the ceiling and dancing along to the track while peering up at the camera.

    It was started by a 17-year-old TikTok user from the Philippines called Josiah Lebante who says he’s an “asipiring filmmaker”.

    In September, he shared a video where he stuck his phone to the ceiling using tape while at school and danced with fellow students.

    The clip has had more than 24.9 million views and sparked the trend, which has now taken over social media.

    JID’s Surround Sound is stuck in everyone’s heads. One person wrote on Twitter/X: “Surround sound been stuck in my head all day. Ceiling challenge everywhere.”

    “I’m trying to fall back asleep but that damn Ceiling Challenge song stuck in my head,” said another.

    TikTok user inspired by talented filmmaker

    “Back in September while it was our lunch at school I told my classmates that I have a new idea for a TikTok video,” Josiah explained.

    He was inspired by a talented filmmaker and photographer called Karl Shakur who is based in Kansas, USA.

    His classmates laughed at him at first, but then decided to join in and the video went viral in just a few days.

    “A month later, it became a trend not just here in the Philippines, but in the whole world,” he added in disbelief.

    “I’m just happy that everyone is doing it and being so creative. That’s what my videos are all about, to inspire you guys to do more.”

    “A person who does not fit in to any group. The strong silent type, always observing and analyzing situations before getting involved,” the site continues.

    Black cat girlfriends usually have a lot to say but don’t often say it. They are shy, calm and spend a lot of time on their own.

    They are bubbly, bouncy and social individuals who love to be around people. Everyone adores them and they make friends really easily.

    Golden retrievers are naturally great human beings who are stereotypically perfect and have a positive aura about them.

    They are the outgoing one in the relationship who are energetic, confident and super friendly like a golden retriever puppy.

    Two personality types attract

    TikTok users say that most relationships have one partner who is a black cat and another who is a golden retriever.

    The personality types are polar opposite but tend to attract and form the perfect union between two individuals.

    Usually, it’s the boyfriend who is the golden retriever and the girlfriend who is the black cat, but it can work either way.

    If you’re not sure which animal you are, you can find out using this quiz which went viral back in 2021.

    The ceiling challenge involves people sticking their phones to the roof using tape. With J.I.D’s song ‘Surround Sound’ playing in the background, the challenge is completed with people busting some moves to the lyrics.

    The trend first started in October with a few people trying the challenge. Soon, it made it to the feed of several others and now has taken over the world.

    People have even posted the trend on Instagram after it went viral on TikTok.

    How did the trend start?

    The person, who started the ceiling challenge is Josiah Lebante, who goes by @josiahlebante14 on TikTok. He posted the video at the beginning of September and has received over 24 million views since then.

    Josiah, a “17-year-old aspiring filmmaker,” according to his bio, managed to pull in his friends to join him on his idea. In the follow-up clip that he made, Josiah explained that he recorded the content during their school break.

    He admitted that the original idea was from Karl Shakur, a filmmaker and a photographer.

    TikTok dance challenges have helped song’s popularity

    Does Pandora have a ‘Wrapped’?

    No, Pandora sadly doesn’t have a yearly recap feature in 2023.

    A spokesperson for Pandora Confirmed this on the community page, writing: “Hi, everyone! Pandora’s Playback user year-in-review is no longer available.”

    “In the meantime, you can upvote this existing idea if you’d like to see it return in the future,” they continued.

    Pandora is a subscription-based music streaming service owned by Sirius XM which recommends music based on individual songs.

    Pandora Playback was discontinued

    The streaming service used to have a year-in-review called Pandora Playback, but it was sadly discontinued after 2021.

    It told you all sorts of cool statistics including your top stations, genre, decade and how many minutes you listened in total.

    Like Spotify Wrapped, all of the information was compiled into a colorful card that could be shared on social media.

    Pandora didn’t explain why they got rid of the feature, but said: “Thanks to all of the listeners who have supported the feature.”

    People want the yearly recap back

    Users are annoyed that the feature is gone and some are even moving to a different music streaming platform because of it.

    One person wrote: “Zero regrets about canceling the paid pandora account that I had for over a decade when they decided this last year.”

    “I switched to Spotify this year after Pandora decided to nonchalantly stop offering the playback last year,” said another.

    A third person added: “So tempted to move… wish they would just give us the stats!! So easy to run this data and provide it.”

    “I switched to Spotify last year because Pandora removed the feature. I couldn’t be happier,” someone else wrote.
