Sam Mintesnot had checked off everything she possibly could have from a long list of to-dos in preparation for the Coachella music festival. She crafted the best outfits, got her hair and nails done, booked a one-way ticket to Los Angeles and flew out on Tuesday with a spreadsheet full of ideas for videos she could post related to the festival. The only problem was that just days before the Coachella kicked off on Friday, she didn’t have a ticket — at least, not yet. Mintesnot is a content creator, and she was seeking an invitation from a brand to join…

QUESTION: Is it true that the Shia of Iran consider women to be animals? Should we not destroy that government? GP ANSWER: No, the idea that Shia Islam considers women to be animals is a false and offensive claim that runs directly counter to the core teachings of the faith. This is a deliberate distortion that is not supported by the Quran, the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), or the core tenets of Shia theology. Beyond abstract theology, women hold a position of profound veneration in Shia belief. A major Shia scholar highlights this by noting that “the entire…

Frugal founders are often praised for trying to stay within budget. But when the founder happens to be the daughter of one of the world’s richest people, the expectations seem to be different. In a viral post on Thursday that has sparked a debate over fair pay for creators and the power dynamics of negotiations, a lifestyle influencer posted on X what appeared to be a screenshot of a conversation with Phoebe Gates, cofounder of AI shopping agent startup Phia, and the youngest daughter of billionaires Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates. “When a billionaire’s daughter says you’re ‘out of…

Netanyahu has made this same pitch to every president for the past 47 years. He is consumed by hatred, no different than Hezbollah and Hamas, who he has succeeded in inspiring their hatred of all Israelis. Netanyahu is an absolute fool. He cannot simply annihilate the entire Arab and Persian population. His idea of peace is wiping out all your enemies. He fails to grasp that his endless war only created the next generation of hatred, making peace virtually impossible. This is a religious war, and it is not going to be solved with simple negotiation tactics. He cannot protect…
If Melania Trump wanted people not to put her and Jeffery Epstein’s names in the same sentence, she’s failing miserably. The first lady surprised the nation—and reportedly, much of the White House—when she delivered a surprise statement about her relationship with convicted sex offender Epstein on Thursday, April 9. “The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” Trump said. “I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice [Ghislaine] Maxwell.” “The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility, and respect,” she continued, though who she was referring to remained unclear. “I…
The centerpiece of President Donald Trump‘s economic policy — sweeping taxes on global imports — is under legal assault again. The U.S. Court of International Trade, a specialized court in New York, is hearing oral arguments Friday in an attempt to overturn the temporary tariffs Trump turned to after the Supreme Court in February struck down his preferred choice — even bigger, even more sweeping tariffs. In his first attempt to impose global tariffs, the president last year invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), using the law to declare America’s longstanding trade deficit a national emergency and to impose double-digit…
