We’ve waited YEARS to watch the new Top Gun movie and it’s finally out! Now it’s time for you to be a part of it, if you’ve got what it takes. But everyone knows that you have to start with a cool name first. This generator will help you find your own “Top Gun” call sign. Goose and Maverick are already taken, and I just got “Chief.” It has a nice ring to it! Try it for yourself!

The world’s fastest rapper, Twista, has a hidden talent. He’s actually a pretty decent ventriloquist. Who knew? Oh, he can also do magic tricks. Some people have all the talent! Watch!
Oklahoma City cowboy Blake Igert got the call Monday morning to catch some loose cows… that were running loose on the freeway in traffic. He hopped on his horse and slowly, one by one, began to wrangle all of them up. “It’s not something you see everyday,” he said talking about catching steers in front of cars at stoplights. Thankfully, he was able to get all of them safely back to their home.
A few years ago, Angie moved to Peoria and was able to convince several other family members to move there too. “It’s the most affordable mid-sized city in America” she touts. Her goal is to ” share an option for queer and BIPOC folks who are looking to put down roots” and “who may never have thought of home ownership as an attainable goal.” She herself paid $30,000 for her house nine years ago when she moved there. Now she’s gotten over 156 people to move there just based on her TikTok account. Take her word for it, Peoria is awesome!

A man in Sheridan Hills can’t believe his neighbor would mess with his nuts!
You’ve probably at some point taken a flight at night or close to midnight. This information coming straight from an air traffic controller might make you think twice next time. He said that around 60% of control towers shut down at night. Therefore, it’s the pilot’s job to make sure that they don’t hit other planes. WUT?!!
A woman recently documented a strange phenomenon. When one man starts to mow a lawn, others, around him immediately feel the need to partake as well. Watch her record her husband, then moments later, another joins in, then another… and so on. So funny!
Does your crush like you too? Do you want people to take you more seriously? Do you think that someone is lying to you? Try these psychology hacks next time you find yourself in one of these situations! Don’t worry, this man is an expert. He has to be, he’s on TikTok!
We all miss Chris Cornell. No one could do it like he could and here’s more proof. Here he is covering Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” You’ll never hear raw emotion like this, take a listen!
An usher at the Cubs game had the job that no one wanted- go to the outfield stands and ruin everyone’s fun. They were told that cup snakes were no longer allowed, SO, they made a cup pyramid! See?! They weren’t doing anything wrong! Unfortunately for this guy, he got roasted on social.

Life…is gross. We live in a cruel existence. We’re constantly consuming insects, rodent filth, and dirt, per the FDA, who claim that, “Young children will put almost anything in their mouths. A series of stool-sample surveys in the 1990s determined that the average child digests as much as 500 milligrams of soil—about a thimbleful—daily. That works out to a few ounces per year.”

At last, our long national nightmare is over. No more cringeworthy speeches, no more TikTok edits, and no more TMI from our least favorite couple ever. A jury has found both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp liable for defamation in their lawsuits against each other. Per CNN, “The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million dollars in punitive damages. The jury awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages and no money for punitive damages. Depp sought $50 million in damages and Heard sought $100 million. Punitive damages in the state of Virginia are capped at $350,000, so the judge reduced the punitive damages award to that amount.”
Do you think the fallout is fair? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Now that’s how we have a good time!!
