These days you can put the word “challenge” after just about any stunt and people will try it. This one’s called the Boba Challenge . . . although you can do it with any type of drink that has a lid you can punch a straw through.
It takes two people, and they’re usually sitting across from each other at a table. One has their eyes closed and they’re holding a straw. The other person moves the drink all around the table, and when they’re done, they tap it loud enough to hear.
That’s when the “eyes closed person” has to punch the straw through the lid. One video features several clips of people failing miserably and causing a huge mess. Only two manage to score a clean punch. – Tim Virgin
(It was posted yesterday on the LADBible Facebook page. The two successful challenges start at 0:55.)
This is the #bobachallenge and it's causing quite a stir… and a mess 🧐

Watch the Cure play “Lovesong” from the forthcoming live concert film, “The Cure – Anniversary 1978-2018,” heading to local theaters for a one-night-only engagement on July 11.
Does it seems like everyone’s angry these days? According to a new poll, it’s not just your imagination. A new survey found that 84 percent of people are angrier today compared to a generation ago, which leaves experts concerned about the possible health risks of so much anger. So what makes us so mad? More than 70 percent said they sometimes get angry checking the news. And 90 percent said they’re more likely to vent that anger on social media. We’d tell you more, but the thought of doing that just pisses us off.
Matty Healy from The 1975 returned to the 101WKQX Lounge for another intimate session. Here he is, raw and real. Enjoy! <3 Lauren
“Use your platform.” In this very in depth interview, Matty Healy expresses how artists today should use their platform to talk about issues that matter. He also opens up about his drug addiction and how he is coping now.
Sounds like The 1975 might be putting on their own music festival in the future! But first, permits… Also, Matty explains how his obsession with video game easter eggs is important to him.
Matty explains the emotional connection with his fans.
A Harvard study shows through a test of 3,000 men between the ages of 18 – 20 that those whose diets revolve around veggies and fruits have a higher fertility rate over those who eat a more “western” diet of highly processed foods.
We all know that chips and candy are bad for you, but it could be bad for your potential kids as well.
If you are as scared as we are about your diet check out this NewYork Post article for more information.
Seems like Samuel L. Jackson noticed a mistake on his character Nick Fury in the new Spider-Man poster.
Jackson reposted a side by side photo of their new movie posters, where he noticed his character, Nick Fury, having his signature eye patch placed on two different eyes, rather than only the correct left eye.

Uhhhhhhh, What In The Actual FUCK IS GOING ON HERE???!!! #headsgonroll #lefteyemuthafukkah
The original photo was posted by an observant Marvel fan on Reddit with the title, “Which eye did he injure?”. But it seems like he had a reaction to it writing, “Uhhhhhhh, What In The Actual F— IS GOING ON HERE???!!!.”
Seems like someone at Marvel made a boo boo!
Have you heard of the fashion brand “FUCT”?
Or more importantly, have you heard of the federal law that prevents officials from registering “scandalous” or “immoral” trademarks?
Los Angeles artist Erick Brunetti founded the streetwear clothing line and has been battling with the Supreme Court to get it trademarked. They announced their decision Monday, allowing the brand to trademark and gain a victory over the court.
But it wasn’t without a battle, fighting on the basis that the immoral or scandalous bar is substantially overboard. Where Justice Elena Kagan even suggested that a narrower law just covering lewd, sexually explicit, or profane trademarks might be acceptable.
Brunetti could still have used the name if he was denied a trademark registration, he just wouldn’t get the benefits that come with registering a trademark.
In the courts ruling, they stated how the law violates the first amendment’s protections for free speech and that deciding whether trademarks are “immoral” means discriminating “on the basis of viewpoint”.
Congratulations to Erick Brunetti and his brand, and get ‘fuct’ Supreme court.

On Tuesday, Illinois became the 11th state in the United States legalize the recreational use of marijuana. This new law also means more than 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of pot or less may have those legal records wiped clean.
Illinois residents will be able to buy and possess up to 1 ounce (30 grams) of marijuana at a time. If you are not an Illinois resident, you will be able to have 15 grams. The law will permit weed purchases by adults over the age of 21 at approved dispensaries after they have been re-licensed by the state, starting on Januuary 1, 2020. Possession of pot will remain illegal until then, according to a report by AP News.
If you want to go extra deep into this, here is actually bill that was voted in: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/101/HB/PDF/10100HB1438enr.pdf
When u/Dexley posted this question on reddit:
\”Tattoo artists, what pieces are you tired of doing?\”
I knew I was about to enter an internet black hole. Having just emerged, here are my findings…
\”Basically anything from Pinterest. Bird silhouettes, live laugh love, infinity symbols, etc\” – venttresstheslut
\”Clocks\” – Ringrar
\”1. Snakes.
2. Skulls
3. Snakes coming out of skulls.\” – RAEBZIRG
\”…I\’ll take a pocket watch with a lions face in the centre, birds flying off it merging into an infinity symbol with each bird having its own individual birthstone of the families lost cats over the years, than a smelly person.\” – ipickedbulbasaur
\”I was with a friend who was getting a tattoo and the artist mentioned he was sick of tattooing \’This Too Shall Pass.\’
Made sure to pull down my sleeve after he said that.\” – morgannemary
\”Not a piece but body location… as I was getting my foot tattooed circa 2009 the artist stopped half way through and said, “foot tattoos, the new tramp stamp” … thanks bro\” – ohyoumeanhydra
\”Surprised no one has called out astrological signs. Dated quite a few chicks with those.\” – blargher
\”Tattoo artist from Alabama here. I am not religious at all but I think I\’ve ascribed the entire bible on human flesh at this point.\” – RAWest_ofRaw
\”I worked as a shop manager for a little bit. My boss/the head artist was getting super burnt out on big cats (specifically lions) wearing crowns. In about a month, he\’d done 5 realistic lions (and a panther) wearing crowns on dudes who wanted to feel like kings. I had to start politely turning them down when people called to inquire about them.
\’Sorry, Ian\’s not really interested in doing more big cats this month.\’\” – AncientCatGod
Have any ragrets about tattoos you\’ve gotten? Tell us in the facebook comments.
Not sure how I feel about the scooter phenomenon that hit our fine city in the past weeks, seems like too many things can go wrong. Scooters littering the city, impeding pedways, sidewalks and roads seems like the set up for lots of issues. Like what just happened to Allyson Medeiros, tattooist at Evoke Tattoos in Ukranian Village and Skin Abrasions Tattoos in Oak Park, who was cycling home from work Thursday and hit head on by someone riding a scooter in the wrong direction.
“While traveling in the bike lane, he was hit head-on by someone riding on the wrong side of the road on one of the new rental E-scooters. This accident caused him to sustain very serious trauma to his face, including multiple breaks to the jaw/nose/orbit/palate, multiple lacerations requiring more than 20 stitches, and a dangerous amount of air in his chest cavity. He spent the night in the trauma unit of the ER after being transported there from another hospital. Although he will make a full recovery, the medical bills he has accrued paired with needed recovery time away from work, has left him in need of help. Allyson unfortunately does not have health insurance, so any donations would be immensely appreciated.” From the Go Fund Me raising money for Allyson HERE.
The collision happened at N Leavitt and W Crystal in Ukranian Village Thursday around 5:30p if you have any information, please contact Chicago PD.
Get well soon Allyson.

This Twitter user is getting SLAMMED for sexualizing Billie Eilish. He posted photos of her in a tank top with the word ‘thick’, and people are NOT happy about it.
Man… pic.twitter.com/68TWMkgOkx
— k (@PogbaEscobar) June 23, 2019
First people came because she’s only 17, so he made a tweet on how she’s not a minor…. in half the countries outside of the US.
🗣🗣🗣 Billie Eilish is not a minor. Stop it. She’s legal now in almost half of the country, and all countries outside of the US.
— k (@PogbaEscobar) June 23, 2019
He then tried to make his comments “okay”, by using her own lyrics against her. Not to mention he shared an Instagram post she made all because cause it said, “comment your dick size.”
BILLIE EILISH POSTED THIS ON IG BUT I’M THE ONE SEXUALIZING HER? LMAOOOOOO pic.twitter.com/vmcdIC2awm

To add the cherry on top to all this misogyny, he posted this photo

People on Twitter were NOT having it. Many people had something to say against this man, here just are a few:

It’s sad that women honestly have to announce they don’t want to be sexualized and even wear certain clothing not to be but there’s still creeps who will go ahead and STILL do so- smh

One user posted a video of Billie saying why she wears baggy clothes… for situations like this!

Fair warning, if you love cats you might wanna stop reading now, but I promise the cat makes it out alive.
Cat owner Stefani Carrol-Kirchoff never runs the washing machine before first checking to make sure one of her three furry friends aren’t inside, except last week.
She ran a normal cycle to clean a load of clothes, and thirty-five minutes later when she went to go grab her clothes to throw into the dryer Stefani noticed that the clothes were still damp.
Initially, Stefani thought the washing machine was just acting up so she was going to run them through another cycle but then a little white paw popped out from underneath her laundry.
The cat is still on oxygen and in the hospital, but for now, is in the clear.
Have you ever watched your favorite Netflix show but then had to pause to work on other stuff?
Well, now you can do both!
Netflix is rolling out a brand new pop-out, picture in picture viewing feature that allows you to never stop watching, even while at work.
The pop-out feature will be a pop-out screen that the user can move around freely around their screen, much like a separate video player.
This new feature is currently being tested but is projected to be very helpful for people with iOS or Mac devices as they can multitask their favorite show and work.
Twitter has become baffled by this video of a crow that looks like a gorilla.
There’s a very strange (uncredited) video of crow making the rounds on reddit. Here’s the deal. First, this is a large-billed crow, which is why the face is looking a little out of proportion. pic.twitter.com/LUYuMimvAp

Twitter being Twitter, users had ways of understanding what exactly they were seeing.

With some scientists, who actually study birds, giving reasonable explanations as to what was going on.
Sunning is a possibility. Another is that the bird might be emaciated. The keel looks highly pronounced here, which could indicate loss of breast muscle. Tired or hungry birds also often droop their wings down like this.
— Dave Slager (@dlslager) June 23, 2019
Then, of course, some people had their own interpretations. More towards the thought of “evolution”, well, if crows started to become giant alien-like creatures.

Alice Cooper made headlines this past weekend because of an apparent “death pact” that he has with his wife.
The rockstar and his wife, Sheryl Goddard have been married for 43 years and have children together.
The two lovers having a death pact seems pretty rock and roll, but Cooper explained what he was trying to say in his interview earlier today.
They don’t have a suicide pact, it is more of a life pact.
Cooper had this to say in his recent interview with The Independent
“Sheryl and I do not have a death pact, we have a life pact,” he said. ” We love life so much. What I was meaning was that because we’re almost always together, at home and on the road, that if something did happen to either of us, we’d most likely be together at the time.”
The 71-year-old may be a rockstar at heart, but he definitely has a soft spot in his heart for his family.
It seems people really want Keanu Reeves to be 2019’s Times Person of the Year.
Jackson Beem started a petition to Time Magazine to get him on the cover saying,
Keanu is the most wholesome person alive, make him the person of the year! Keanu has secretly donated millions of his earnings to children’s hospitals and other charities, and has done amazing things for people in public while ask for nothing in return.
His isn’t fighting alone, the 75,000 petition almost has 72,000 signatures!
So, will you be adding your name to the list?
