It's almost a social media trope.

We've all seen them—a post with screenshots of a note app that starts talking about a man in Hollywood, or the music industry or sports.

Most of the posts with that format are going to shine a light on a negative aspect of the industry and the man in question.

However, a recent post about actor/director Bill Hader turned out to be the exact opposite. The post praised him as a director as the series finale of his show Barry wrapped up production.

The post was made on the Instagram account IA Stories.

IA Stories is an account where "TV/Film workers share stories [anonymously] about our work environments to build solidarity across crews/crafts."

The person wrote:

"[Bill Hader] knows firsthand how much of a beating the crew can take when a director comes in ill-prepared. Bill worked extensively in prep and always came to set knowing exactly what he wanted."

They added:

"When you work for someone like that, you want to do your best work."

They noted leadership sets the tone.

"Every single person on the cast and crew were some of the loveliest people on the planet, and it all comes from the top."

@askhalid/Twitter

Fans of Hader were wary of the set up of the post.

It looks like so many others that exposed men behaving badly.


Others were just there for the outpouring of compliments about Hader.



Some shared their own personal stories of working with Hader.



Others commented Hader offers a glimpse of what working conditions in Hollywood should be.


The series finale of Barry premiered on May 28, 2023.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
