Listen to Last Man Standing and pre-order the new album Nowhere Generation II which according to my detective work will be out (on my birthday!) July 15th!! <3 Lauren
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 soilโabout a thimblefulโdaily. That works out to a few ounces per year.”
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever eaten by accident? The conversation lives on Facebook!
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!
If, at any time between May 1, 2015 and April 25, 2022, you appeared in a photograph in Google Photos while you were an Illinois resident, you are eligible to make a claim for this $100M settlement.

Organized ice hockey fighting is a thing?! People love watching a good fight at a game but now you don’t even need to watch the goal-scoring and the puck passing- BORING! The new combat sport was created by AJ Galante. The pro tournament consisted of 8 semi-pro hockey players, using MMA style rules… but on ice with skates, and jersey pulling. It’s wild! Watch below!
A fan at an Angels game was walking back to his seat with two beers in hand when a fly ball headed his way. Instead of putting his beer down, or letting the ball go by him, he was able to catch the ball while still managing his alcohol. He’s the real pro here!
Why hold two cans of beer in one hand?
So you can snag a foul-ball barehanded with the other ๐
