Ye isn't making many friends on social media these days.

Upon his return to Instagram, Ye called out some users and responded to posts he claimed were not from him.

One of those posts stated the popular TV show Friendswasn't funny.

Ye wrote in response:

"I actually didn't write the tweet that said 'Friends wasn't funny either' but I wish I had."

Courteney Cox who played Monica Geller in the series had quite the clap-clap-clap-clap back.

She posted the response video on her Instagram:

Cox captioned the video with a misspelled version of Ye's former name.

The musical artist and fashion designer legally changed his name to Ye in January 2022.

"I bet the old Kayne thought Friends was funny."

In the video, Cox is listening to Ye's song Heartless while browsing on her phone. It appears she comes across the post, stops the song and walks away.

Cox's Instagram followers shared their love for her TV show.

It appears almost everyone in Cox's comments was Team Geller on this one.

However at least one person pointed out Friends had a target audience and Ye was not part of it.

Perhaps in the future Ye could pivot from dissing one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.

Or maybe Courteney Cox could recognize her show's shortcomings—which have been acknowledged by the show's creators.

One of the show's co-creators, Marta Kauffman, donated millions to her alma mater to expand their African American Studies department. Kauffman stated she's embarrassed by Friends appalling lack of diversity for a show set in one of the most diverse cities in the United States.

Kauffman also expressed shame and regret over turning one of the only diverse characters—a trans woman—into a stereotype and a punchline. Friends also deadnamed the character—Chandler's trans parent—repeatedly.

It costs nothing to respect people's chosen names instead of turning them into a joke.

So whether people are Team Cox, Team Ye or Team None of the Above, there's more to unpack here than Ye and Cox's hot takes.

Swiss Church Sparks Debate After Introducing Bizarre AI Jesus Hologram To Take Confessions

A church in Switzerland is stirring debate with its use of an AI-generated Jesus hologram for confessions. Dubbed Deus in Machina (“God in Machine”), the project is installed at St. Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, the city’s oldest Catholic church.

The hologram, developed by experts from Lucerne University’s Immersive Realities Center and a parish theologian, greets users with, “Peace be with you, brother,” and invites them to share what’s troubling their hearts. It can respond in 100 languages, with answers based on sacred scripture and theological texts sourced from the internet.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.
