2019 found big changes for Adele in her personal life.

After marrying her longtime partner whom she met in 2011, Adele announced in 2016 that she was a "stay at home mum" to their son.

With her last album coming out in 2015, it seemed true.

But in April 2019 her separation from husband Simon Konecki was confirmed and in September divorce papers were filed. Then came the rumors of an Adele "glow-up."

In October, the rumors were confirmed when a noticeably slimmer Adele was photographed at rapper Drake's birthday party and featured in one of the slideshows posted by photographer Theo Skudra and posted on her own Instagram.


But now the singer looks even slimmer in a pair of photos she posted for the holidays.

Adele posed with a Jim Careyesque Grinch...

...and the Jolly Old Elf himself, Santa Claus.

While most of Adele's fans had praise for her new look with many referring to a post-divorce glow-up...

But the media attention and the debate about Adele's appearance drew criticism on social media.

Actress and body positivity advocate Jameela Jamil commented on Twitter:

"Adele was beautiful before. Is beautiful now. Will be beautiful WHATEVERTHEF**K weight she will be in the future."
"The weight of a global icon trending is a sign there is still work to do in how we value women in 2020. Being thinner doesn't add to her value. She was born 💯"

Others addressed the phrasing of headlines in October and in December where things like "flaunts her weight loss" were used to describe party snaps.










But some people just want a new album.

So far there is a 19, 21 and 25.

Is there secretly a 30 album recorded last year and set to release or will the world have to wait for 33 or 35 or 38 or...?

Elon Musk Shades Trump After Old Video Of Him Calling Out Government For Not Prosecuting Epstein Clients Resurfaces

On Saturday, February 21, the X account Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) posted a video of platform owner Elon Musk speaking to former Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson. The post didn't include tags or hashtags.

The 43-second clip, from an over one hour interview, featured the pair laughing about the disparity between the prosecution of the violent insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, versus Jeffrey Epstein's friends and clients who trafficked and sexually exploited young women and children.

Gavin Newsom Says What We're All Thinking After Women's Hockey Team Declines Trump's State Of The Union Invite Amid Locker Room Phone Call Controversy

California Governor Gavin Newsom praised the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team after they announced they will not accept President Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address, coming one day after he quipped to the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team that failing to invite the women as well might get him impeached.

The development followed the Americans’ victory over Canada to claim gold in Thursday’s Olympic women’s hockey final. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team also captured gold on Sunday with another win over Canada.

C-SPAN Issues Clarification After Video Goes Viral Of Man Who Sounds Like Trump Calling Into C-SPAN Under Fake Name

C-SPAN issued a clarification after a caller identifying himself as “John Barron” — a pseudonym long associated with Donald Trump — phoned into its program Washington Journal, leading some viewers to suspect the president had personally joined the broadcast.

The caller, identified as "John Barron" and described as a Republican from Virginia, drew attention for a voice that closely resembled that of Trump as he criticized what he called the Supreme Court’s “worst decision” against his emergency tariffs. The name itself raised eyebrows, since "John Barron" was a pseudonym Trump frequently used in the 1980s when speaking to reporters while posing as his own spokesman.
