The internet is amused by Mariah Carey’s seeming confusion on what holiday it is—or which Shawn M is which.

The queen of Christmas music texted fellow singer Shawn Mendes to wish him a “Happy Thanksgiving.”

However it was March 17 and Saint Patrick’s day.

Giphy

Another issue?

Carey didn’t even mean to text Mendes, she was trying to reach out to a cousin named Shawn.

Carey shared a screenshot of the text messages on her Twitter account.


She quickly realized her blunder and apologized to Mendes. She also clarified in the text and in the tweet she was well aware it wasn’t Thanksgiving.

Carey explained in the tweet her text was an inside joke she shares with her cousin. Mendes replied he figured as much.

The two have had fun with each other on social media in the past.

Back in January 2021, Mendes posted on Instagram with the caption:

“Grateful 💙 The sun, coffee, my health, my family, old Mariah Carey songs, music, humans!!!"


Carey acknowledged the call out by imitating his post on Twitter:


People enjoyed this latest silly exchange between the stars.




Fans also loved their apparent friendship.



People also started to request a collab between the musicians.




We love seeing celebrity friendships.

Now, about that song collab...

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.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
