Newsom Just Masterfully Trolled Trump With Hilarious Fake Ad For 'Newsom University'—And We Can't
Newsom shared an image advertising "Newsom University" that claims to be "99% sold out" and includes the following shady copy that even pokes fun at the thin-skinned president over his "small hands":
"WE TEACH SUCCESS EVEN FOR PEOPLE WITH SMALL HANDS. LEARN TO SUCCEED WITH GAVIN NEWSOM, AMERICA'S FAVORITE GOVERNOR."
"REGISTER BY 11/4 AND GET TWO FREE NEWSOM STEAKS!"
Newsom's post, meanwhile, had the following caption:
"HUGE NEWS FOR “MY GUYS AND GALS”!!! NEWSOM UNIVERSITY IS OPENING VERY SOON. ENROLLMENT IS ALREADY THROUGH THE ROOF. EVERYBODY WANTS IN (EVEN THE LOSERS) BUT ONLY THE SMARTEST, MOST TALENTED STUDENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED (NO LOW IQ DING-DONGS LIKE JD “JUST DANCE” VANCE OR LAURA “LOW RATINGS” INGRAHAM)."
"NEWSOM UNIVERSITY WILL BE THE MOST INCREDIBLE CAMPUS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, TRUST ME THAT I'VE HIRED THE BEST CONTRACTORS TO BUILD. COURSES INCLUDE THE ART OF "MAPS," HOW TO TRIGGER “SLUMPY” SEAN HANNITY (VERY EASY COURSE, DAY ONE!), ADVANCED HAIR GEL APPLICATION (TAUGHT BY THE BEST), AND HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE ME — GAVIN C. NEWSOM — AMERICA’S “HOTTEST” GOVERNOR (MANY PEOPLE SAY IT, NOT JUST ME!)."
"DING DING, THE SCHOOLBELL RINGS — CLASSES START THIS FALL!!! MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING "THANK YOU! THANK YOU DEAR GOVERNOR!!!" TO WHICH I SAY, YOU’RE WELCOME, AMERICA!!! — GCN"
You can see Newsom's post and the image below.

Many saw immediately what Newsom was putting down—and his latest mockery of Trump was a resounding success.
Trump's business track record is riddled with failures and questionable decisions.
Trump Shuttle Airlines folded within two years (with a crash in the early months), Trump Mortgage collapsed within a year after hiring an executive who had wildly inflated his credentials, and ventures like Trump Steaks, Trump Magazine, GoTrump.com, Trump The Game, and Trump Vodka all failed.
Multiple casino and hotel ventures—including Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Casino Resorts, and Trump Entertainment Resorts—ended in bankruptcy.
According to Forbes, Trump would be $400 million richer today if he had simply invested his inheritance into an S&P 500 index fund instead of running these businesses.
His companies have also been notorious for stiffing vendors—leaving contractors, small-business owners, and suppliers unpaid. Unsettled debts include $2.98 million for hotel repairs, $100,000 owed for pianos, $90 million in unpaid bills at the Taj Mahal, and $5 million in liens at his D.C. hotel.
Considering how sensitive Trump is over all of this, we anticipate yet another post attacking Newsom is coming our way shortly.

People Divulge Scientific Facts They Wish They Never Learned
That being said, endless possibilities and learning are also rather intimidating.
And every now and again, we might learn something about our bodies, the earth, or the vast cosmos of space that we truly wish we hadn't.
Redditor NoRush5642 was curious to hear some of these unsettling facts, leading them to ask:
"What’s a scientific fact that most people would rather not know?"
One Tiny Spec In The Universe...
"The true scale of how far and big things really are in space."
"To get a comprehensible look, we have to shrink things by a trillion times."
"At that scale the Sun is just 1.4mm wide... a grain of sand."
"The Earth would be 15cm or half a foot away, and about the size of a red blood cell."
"Only Jupiter and Saturn may be visible both around 0.1mm wide, and Saturns rings 0.3mm wide."
"Jupiter would be 77cm away, or 2.5 feet, and Saturn 2.3m away, or about 8 feet."
"Pluto would be 5.9m, or 20 feet away, and Voyager 1, the furthest human made object, would be 25m away, about 1/4 of a football field."
"Alpha Centauri however... would be 42km or 26 miles away, a whole marathon between grains of sand."
"The largest known black hole at this scale, Phoenix A, would be 590m, or over 1800 feet wide. If this replaced Alpha Centauri, it would look larger than the full Moon from Earth."- Youpunyhumans

They Know More Than They Let On...
"Until the 1980s, surgery on infants was often performed without anesthesia as a standard medical practice."
"The belief at the time was that newborns' nervous systems were too underdeveloped to feel pain."
"So, instead, they'd just use a paralytic like curare to immobilize the child who then remained fully aware of everything that was going on."
"The trauma can stick with people for life."- JimTheJerseyGuy

Careful Where You Rest Your Head...

Makes You Rethink Photographic Memories...

"Your most cherished memories are likely the most factually inaccurate because you've 'rewritten' them so many times."- Sajil_ali
Hope You Didn't Just Eat...
"Everyone knows the govt has regulations called Filth Levels concerning things such as rodent hairs or roach legs in our food and there are acceptable levels of such."
"What a lot of people don't know is the Filth Levels also measure blood and pus. In our food."
"And there are acceptable levels."
"Bon Appetit."- OkIllustrator1483
They May Look Cute, However...
"In some parts of Australia, up to 80% of wild koalas are infected with chlamydia."
"It can be passed to humans."- Mongo514

Very Few Would Call Dying A Success...
"Dying from a disease is considered a spectacular failure of the virus/bacterium."
"Killing the host almost always ends the life cycle of the infecting organism."
"The best possible outcome is to produce billions of copies without any ill effect of the host."
"Or better still, to provide some benefit to the host."
"A good example of this is the Hanta virus in field mice."
"They will shed the virus by the billions over their lifetime, yet it seems to have no ill effect on the mouse."- jdlech

Guy Caught DMing Women While At Dinner With His Wife—And Then Her Daughter Found The Viral Video
You can watch the video here:
Some were disgusted that the husband was willing to do this right in front of his wife's face.

In a follow-up photo post, the TikToker stated that the couple's daughter had come across the viral video and recognized her parents immediately. She was able to confirm that her father had actually been cheating and talking to several different women, despite her parents being married for 17 years and dating before that.
The daughter explained:
"I sent this video to my mom this morning. It's 12:49 PM here."
"She's just embarrassed that it's gone viral and she feels like she's a clown."
"I'm glad you didn't [approach her] because she's home safe. Who knows what could've happened, and she wouldn't understand you, since she only speaks Spanish, and she doesn't understand social media or dating apps. She would've believed whatever he tells her."
"Like, say you're some crazy lady, lol, making things up [like a] typical man."
"Just wanted you to know he got caught!"

Fellow TikTokers were disheartened that the mother was the one who felt like a clown.

It was horrible that the wife had to find out at the same time that so many other people did, but the few TikTokers who pointed out that it was better that she knew so that she could make an informed decision were right.
There was no telling how long her husband had been unfaithful for or whether this was even his first offense, but the fact that he was so comfortable messaging other women while sitting right across from his wife spoke volumes about how frequently he must be doing this and how comfortable he must be with it.
The other woman's mom deserves to experience happiness in her later years, even if her happiness does not look the way she expected.
MAGA Senator Claims You Could Turn Into 'Alien' From Eating 'Radioactive' Shrimp In Bonkers Rant
You can watch an excerpt here:
Multiple news outlets shared the bizarre moment...
...including the foreign press.
Kennedy stated:
"...this is a photograph of the alien from the movie 'Alien.' This is what you could end up looking like if you eat some of the raw frozen shrimp being sent to the United States by other countries. Now let me tell you what I’m talking about."
"If you eat it, why could you in--how could you end up looking like the alien in the 'Alien'? Because the shrimp was radioactive. I kid you not. It had a radioactive isotope in it called cesseeum [sic] 137."
"It'll kill you. Even if it doesn't turn you into the alien, if you eat this stuff, I guarantee you'll grow an extra ear."
There's no medical or scientific evidence to support any of Kennedy’s claims.
"How could this happen in America? This is unconscionable. I'll tell you how. Because that shrimp, that, that shrimp from other countries which don't abide by the same rules that we abide by in America, which if you eat it will turn you, may turn you into the alien, that at a minimum will you, uh, will cause you to grow an extra ear."
"It's not being inspected. It's supposed to be it's supposed to be inspected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We call it NOAA. It's part of the Department of Commerce. And yes, they're, they're inspecting some of it, about 1%, on a good day, 2%."
Kennedy—a very vocal Trump supporter—seems to forget that NOAA was gutted by DOGE, then slashed again by the GOP-backed, Project 2025-mandated, Trump-proposed One Big Beautiful Bill/Act that Kennedy voted for.
"The United Kingdom inspects 50% of the foreign seafood coming into its nation. Even China does a better job than the United States of America. This is unconscionable... There is no excuse for it. There is no excuse for it."
Kennedy then launched into dubious claims about food safety practices outside the United States before recommending people only eat Louisiana shrimp.
His unhinged rant and ridiculous claims drew widespread mockery online—especially on Kennedy's own X post.

AquaStar USA Corp. of Seattle, Washington, announced a recall of refrigerated cocktail shrimp sold at Walmart stores in 27 states between July 31 and August 16 and bags of Kroger-branded cooked, medium peeled, tail-off shrimp sold at stores in 17 states between July 24 and August 11.
Wholesale seafood distributors are pulling cases of frozen shrimp sold to grocery stores across the eastern seaboard, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration notice.
TikToker Sparks Debate After Revealing ChatGPT Was The First 'Person' She Told About Her Pregnancy
The first photo features two side-by-side pregnancy tests.
The text on the first photo asks:
"Mommy, who was the first person to know you were pregnant?"
You can see the first slide here:
@curious__t/TikTok
The carousel then switches to the second slide featuring a teary-eyed happy emoji, simply saying:
"Chat."
The photo features an interaction between the future mother and ChatGPT.
The mom-to-be wrote to ChatGPT:
"Chat!!!!! I'm pregnant! After miscarrying in February! I'm pregnant again!!!"
Then ChatGPT replied with three crying emojis and the following text:
"Oh my goodness, congratulations!!!"
"This is such beautiful news!! I know how much this means to you, especially after your loss in February."
"How are you feeling right now: excited, nervous, a little bit of both?"
You can see the second slide here:
@curious__t/TikTok
Though TikToker @curious__t didn't share if she responded to ChatGPT, it's clear that one thing she was feeling was comforted, even if it was by ChatGPT rather than a human companion.
Fellow TikTokers were incredibly divided over the carousel video, with the fixation being on the future mom sharing the news with someone other than an actual person.
Most thought that this was a sign that we're actually doomed.

This is one of those situations where people unfortunately have to use what they have access to, and not everyone has access to large families, meaningful friends who'd be excited to hear about a pregnancy, or an affordable therapist they could discuss their feelings with.
ChatGPT might not be the next best option, but for some, they're using what they've got.
