Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Trolls Trump With Perfect 'Conspiracy' Joke After Technical Glitch During Speech
Aug 07, 2026
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had people laughing after he made a clever "conspiracy" joke aimed at President Donald Trump after his teleprompter cut out mid-speech on Wednesday.
Carney was addressing the press and supporters as part of his government's pledge to build more rental homes. A press release announced that "over the next three years, Canada’s new government, in partnership with the City of Toronto, will invest over $2.7 billion to build more than 18 housing projects across Toronto."
But at one point, Carney's teleprompter cut out mid-speech and he had to be quick on his feet.
He said:
“I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Carney was referencing Trump's tantrum at the United Nations last year over a stalled escalator and a teleprompter glitch.
During last year's General Assembly, the escalator Trump was on broke and there was an awkward moment when he and First Lady Melania Trump had to just walk up the stationary stairs after coming to a halt in front of a pool of reporters.
But then he had an unprofessional moment—unsurprisingly—when he was visibly annoyed at a teleprompter that stopped working while he was in the middle of his remarks before the assembly.
Trump glowered and said:
"I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart. I can only say that whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble."
The crowd laughed—but Trump did not. In fact, he was so peeved about the whole thing that he decided to complain about the escalator malfunction while claiming that he'd personally "ended seven wars":
"I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal. All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle."
"If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen. But she's in great shape, we're both in good shape."
"And then a teleprompter that didn’t work. These are the two things I've got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much."
You can hear what he said in the video below.
People immediately got what Carney was putting down.
Well played, Prime Minister.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow
Aug 06, 2026
While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.
Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.
In a video that's currently going viral, Vlahos discovered years ago that her husband was not only cheating on her, but was actively in a relationship with a declared second girlfriend.
However, when Vlahos approached her lawyer about getting a divorce, the lawyer produced a list of twelve scenarios in which they could proceed with a divorce without Vlahos's then-husband's consent. Because her lawyer decided that even her binder full of evidence wasn't enough to "prove" that she was in a harmful marriage, he said they could not file until her husband agreed.
Her husband refused to agree to file and even threatened his own life if Vlahos presented him with divorce papers.
When Vlahos called her lawyer and shared that follow-up conversation with him, hoping that they could use the "altered mental health state" that was on the list of twelve possible scenarios, her lawyer told her that still wasn't enough information to work with.
His next suggestion? To hire a private investigator (PI) to trail her husband and get photographs and any other possibile evidence to prove his relationship with his girlfriend.
You can see the video here:
@nursehadley Part 3 - What would you do?
TikTokers and X users alike are using this video to warn women to at least check their state's marital law requirements and how divorce proceedings are handled before ever agreeing to marry someone.
After all, no matter how much you love someone, the relationship could sour, and depending on the state, it could be next to impossible to get a divorce or acquire your assets.
Viewers were shocked by how much Vlahos's situation escalated, despite her husband already having a girlfriend.










Vlahos has continued to document her journey, including following through, hiring a private investigator, and presenting all of the evidence the PI collected to her lawyer.
Her lawyer gave her a reality check around this time, saying that it would easily take at least three years to complete the divorce process, and she'd likely have to spend something like $100,000 to get it done, and that was exactly what she did. It took three years to complete the divorcing process, not including all of the back-and-forth and PI work done beforehand, and the trial itself took 11 days to complete, with fees north of the lawyer's estimated amount.
In present day, it's been a year and a half since Vlahos was officially divorced from her husband, and enough time has passed that she legally and personally feels safe enough to start documenting her journey and warning other women about what could happen.
It's always important to be honest with yourself about what you want in life, but you should also research the area in which you live to make sure that the local laws align with your wishes.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy
Aug 06, 2026
President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.
The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
With Cunningham under scrutiny, an old clip of Trump resurfaced online in which he joked that he would be "the greatest women's basketball coach ever." Speaking at the America First Policy Institute in July 2022, Trump quipped that he would simply ask James whether he had any "desire to be a woman."
He said:
"I tell you what, I'd be the greatest women's basketball coach. Because I don't like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. But I'd go up to LeBron James and I'd say, 'LeBron, 'Do you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what I'd love you to do is star on my time that I'm building up.'"
"I'll have the greatest team in history. Nobody will lose. Nobody will ever come within 70 points of this team. And we have to change that and we have to make it okay to talk about.'"
"You know, the young lady I was talking about is afraid to talk about. She's shunned and she's canceled when she talks about it. This is crazy."
You can see the resurfaced clip below.
It's unsurprising that this clip would make the rounds given the administration we have.
Last year, Trump signed an executive order barring transgender women from competing in women's sports. The directive took effect immediately and applies to high school, college, and grassroots athletics. It also instructs the Education Department to investigate schools suspected of failing to comply.
Republicans have argued the policy protects fairness in women's sports, while LGBTQ advocacy groups and human rights organizations have condemned it as discriminatory.
The order aligns with policies already adopted by several major sports governing bodies, including those overseeing swimming, track and field, and golf, which prohibit transgender women who have undergone male puberty from competing in elite women's events.
The resurfaced clip has exposed Trump to further criticism.
Last year, Trump was called out after he was asked by a conservative reporter at the end of Women's History Month to give his definition of a "woman"—only to show that he doesn't even know his own talking points.
When asked to define "woman" and "why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women," Trump defined a woman as someone who "can have a baby under certain circumstances" and claimed women are "much smarter than a man." He also joked that a woman is someone who "doesn't give a man even a chance of success."
Turning to transgender athletes, Trump argued that allowing men to compete in women's sports is "ridiculous" and "very unfair to women." Despite what Trump may say, no men are competing in women’s sports and in reality, a small number of transgender girls and women have participated in female sports at various levels, often adhering to strict medical guidelines to do so.

Photos Of Billie Eilish From Her Upcoming Movie Just Dropped—And Fans Barely Recognize Her
Aug 06, 2026
The latest film adaptation of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar is led by Women Talking and Splice director Sarah Polley.
As of March, Billie Eilish was cast in the leading role, Esther Greenwood, who goes through a form of mental burnout and psychosis over the course of the book, with a plot that becomes increasingly unhinged and unreliable.
Though Eilish appeared in one episode of the first season of the horror series Swarm and performed well according to fans, this is her first major role, let alone a leading one.
Now in the production stage, early photographs have been released of Eilish in her role as Esther, and fans have been stopped in their tracks, unable to recognize the pop star.
When she's performing her music, Eilish has an individual and eclectic look with looser-fitting clothes that commonly have a skater or punk vibe, in mostly black with occasional pops of color.
In the photos from the Toronto-based production, Eilish appears in 1950s-esque bright red, fitted shirts, plaid skirts, and matching bright red pumps. Most notably, Eilish is wearing a bright red lip, and her hair appears to be a light brown instead of her signature black.
You can see the photos here:
Fans insisted that they could not recognize Eilish at all while talking about it on the "Pop Culture Chat" subReddit.
"So I know the clothes and period-centric makeup and vibe are doing a lot of heavy lifting, but she does NOT look like a pop star at all, and one of the most challenging things to do as an actor is disappearing into a role."
"I really hope she pulls this off as I’m excited to see it!!" -gayitaliandallas92
"In my opinion, she has a very specific look for her music endeavors, so it’s probably easier for her to become someone else without that look. I’d imagine it’d be easy for her to be incognito, as well." -Streetalicious
"Based on these pictures alone, it’s very possible I could’ve watched this whole movie and not realized it was even her." -FiftyShadesOfGregg
"I looked at this and was like, 'OP got title wrong, this isn't Billie.' Oops!" -Otherwise_Pine
"I wouldn't have recognised her. She reminds me of Claire Foy here." -Daenarys1
"She looks miserable, which I guess is a good thing." -Asleep-Stop4999
"Surprisingly, she actually looks a lot like how I pictured Esther when reading the book." -No_Book622
"She’s beautiful but doesn’t look like she has perma-filter face, which means she can actually emote! It’s sad that it’s getting to the point where all I’m asking from an emotional role is that the actors can, ya know… emote." -LittleJessiePaper
Plath fans chimed in, some concerned about a pop star portraying Esther Greenwood, while others held out hope based on Eilish's appearance.
"I hope it’s good, but I really don’t think the book lends itself to a film adaptation." -DustierAndRustier
"I've never really gotten actress vibes from her, but she looks really good here. I'm willing to wait and see if my knee-jerk 'just hire an established actress for such a big role' reaction was too quick to judge."
"I'm a Billie fan so I'd be happy to be wrong on that." -palpablebubble
"She also has naturally very sad eyes. Not a read, just something that most people would try to not emphasise on themselves, but it'll work for the character." -Glum_Goal786
"Pretty ballsy for her to do a role like this for her debut; hopefully she's really prepared. excited to see it!" -azarialessi
"She was good in her role in 'Swarm,' but that was much smaller; she wasn't carrying the project or even her episode of it. I'm rooting for her, though." -blarbiegorl
"This makes me want to go pick 'The Bell Jar' up again for the 30th time. I frequently devoured that book in my early 20s. I’m excited to see how it translates to a movie." -BogeyLowenstein
Billie Eilish seems to have fooled nearly everyone with her new look, which is promising for her immersion in a complicated and demanding role like that of Esther Greenwood. It will be interesting to see how the team adapts the book and whether they preserve Esther's character or choose to soften her personality and experiences for today's audiences.

Trump Hit With Reality Check After Giving Himself An 'A+' On The Economy In Delusional Interview
Aug 06, 2026
President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed in an interview with Fox News that he should be given an "A+" for the current economy after claiming the "costs are all coming down now."
A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.
But to hear Trump tell it, things are pretty rosy:
"We had the best numbers that anybody's ever seen, but now you take a look, with that going on ... I think Day 79 we hit an all-time stock market high. 401Ks are the highest they've ever been by double and triple."
"And then I read that we're doing bad in the economy. By the way, job numbers: We have more people working in the United States than ever in history. We're doing an unbelievable job."
“Costs are coming way down ... I inherited very, very high costs, and they’re all coming down now. The food, the groceries, it’s all coming down. We’ve done a great job. You know, I think we should be given an A+ on the economy. I think that’s coming, people are starting to talk about it.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
No one was buying it.
Trump previously told Fox News that the U.S. economy is strong and said the economy holds an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" grade under his leadership.
That was months before his administration launched 25 “Freedom Fuel” gas stations in the Philadelphia area, priced at $3.47 for the 47th president, in a bid to address concerns about gas prices that have skyrocketed since he launched the war in Iran.
Despite that, don't expect any accountability from him as he's sure to tell us once again that he "inherited a mess" from former President Joe Biden.
