CVS Warns Pet Owner They'll Lose Access To Dog's Medical Records Once He Turns 18 And Is A 'Legal Adult'—And Here Come The Jokes
As she showed in an X post, Autumn received a pointed email notification from CVS that once her little dog Pippin turns 18 she will be forbidden from managing his medical care and pharmacy records.
Who knew even dogs were subject to HIPAA rules! In her caption, Autumn wrote:
"CVS is telling me my dog is going to be treated as an independent legal adults under HIPAA when he turns 18."

The post, which featured a pic of her adorable canine, also included a screenshot of the notification she received, which read:
"When Pippin turns 18, you'll lose access to their prescriptions and pharmacy records. You'll need to add them again as an adult to help manage their care."
No offense but I don't think Pippin is really equipped to handle his own medical care!
@AutumnTweets/X
CVS' pet meds service is a new offering by the company, just launched this past July.
The company announced that their offerings will include antibiotics, allergy meds, flea and tick treatments, insulin, and pain relievers for dogs and cats, in a bid to make accessing medications easier for pet owners.
The pet meds are also available via some of the same CVS' services humans can access, like deliveries and automatic refills.
At the launch of the service, CVS' senior vice president and interim president of Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, Sid Tenneti, said:
"We know that CVS Pharmacy is a trusted partner in our patients' health care journeys. With the launch of pet medication dispensing, our pharmacies are now able to serve every member of the family."
But apparently only until they're 18! Then those dogs and cats are on their own.
Of course, the notification Autumn received is likely just a glitch—CVS is surely not applying HIPAA to our furry friends.
But that doesn't make the entire notion not hilarious, and people on X had an absolute field day making fun of this hilarious glitch.
Autumn herself got in on the joke, posting an image of Pippin's registration for the military draft.
And apparently, this absurd glitch actually isn't all that new: People also posted their own experiences like Autumn's in which a dog was treated like a human being under the law by a pharmacy.
Anyway, Pippin, if you're reading this: As a good boy of 13 if you don't yet know how to use a smartphone and a computer, you've got five years to learn. Get crackin'—your health apparently requires it!

Chelsea Handler Sounds Off After Learning Massive Sum Joe Rogan Is Making For His Podcast This Year—And She's Spot On
Rogan premiered his podcast in 2009, which got him in early on the manosphere movement. It was later embraced by much of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's ardent fans as Rogan frequently parrots a lot of the same conspiracy theories and misinformation.
That MAGA devotion wavers depending on if Rogan has embraced or criticized Trump, but consistent critics of Rogan cite him as a major promoter and enabler of the POTUS and his regime.
You can see the Forbes Instagram post about the top 20 podcast earners list here:
Rogan's fellow comedian Chelsea Handler took to the comments to express her feelings on the top spot, writing:
"WHO IS PAYING JOE ROGAN 82 million?"
"Give that to our vets, or our children!!! 82 million to be completely uninformed and say 'whoopsie doodle,' every time he’s wrong, which is FREQUENT?"
reply to @forbes/Instagram
Others agreed with Handler's feedback.

According to Forbes, just ten years ago the podcasting industry as a whole generated less than $100 million annually. As of 2026, it's a $9 billion business.
Since Rogan's podcast's premiere, it's remained in or near the top spot in popularity. By the mid-2010s, The Joe Rogan Experience regularly pulled tens of millions of monthly downloads.
In 2020, Rogan signed his first deal with Spotify, which required him to make his podcast a platform exclusive. In 2024, he signed a new deal with Spotify for an estimated $250 million.
It included new terms that allowed the video version of Rogan's show to return to other platforms, like YouTube.
'Jeopardy!' Host Clarifies His Stance On Trans Rights After Snarky Comment On Social Media Sparks Debate
The backlash stems from longstanding criticism of the newspaper’s coverage of transgender issues, which LGBTQ+ advocates have characterized as inaccurate and biased.
A former Times editor said earlier this year that the paper’s approach to transgender coverage was a deliberate editorial decision made at senior levels and had helped legitimize and mainstream misinformation. A more recent analysis by The Dissident likewise argued that the newspaper’s coverage had undergone a dramatic shift and contributed to the broader anti-trans movement.
Jennings largely did not respond to the criticism, though he replied to one repost that has since been deleted:
"I wish people who care about trans people could understand that playing nyt games is still an insult to trans people.”
Jennings replied:
“This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved."
You can see his post below.
Jennings received pushback from social media users. The person who made the original post also replied to the responses, making clear that they had been speaking seriously rather than joking.
Soon, right-wing media seized on his words. The New York Post highlighted his response in a story headlined “Jennings triggers outrage,” framing the backlash from trans people as excessive. Fox News likewise celebrated the controversy, writing that Jennings had “infuriated trans activists” with his sarcastic comment about boycotting New York Times games.
Jennings soon chose to address critics after right-wing outlets ran with these stories, noting he felt it prudent to "say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia."
He added:
"For the record: NOPE. Honestly, I don’t think there’s an issue today I care about on a personal level more deeply than trans rights. And it’s rough out there right now. Bigots on one side of the political aisle and too many cowards on the other."
"Anyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all."
"My TV job is apolitical, but I’m proud that one of the things we make is a space that’s trans- and nb-friendly, and that’s not going to change either."
"So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic s**t about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members."
You can see what he wrote below.

Many appreciated his response.
Thanks for speaking out, Ken.
Ireland Baldwin Shares Complicated Feelings Around Perez Hilton's Hospitalization After He 'Publicly Humiliated My Family For Years'
Graphic videos purportedly showing Hilton covered in blood also spread across social media in the hours after the incident. As news of his hospitalization spread, Baldwin addressed the situation on her Instagram Stories, sharing her conflicted feelings about their long and contentious history.
Explaining her complicated feelings, Ireland wrote:
“Perez Hilton has [publicly] humiliated my family for years, sexualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body (as a child), made unforgivable comments about people in my family, drew j*** coming out of my mom’s and friend’s mouths, and has always been a despicable human being.”
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, built much of his early celebrity gossip brand around provocative posts targeting Baldwin's family. He regularly defaced paparazzi photos of her mother, Academy Award-winning actress Kim Basinger, while extensively covering her parents' highly publicized custody battle.
After a voicemail of Alec Baldwin calling then-11-year-old Ireland a "rude, thoughtless little pig" leaked online, Hilton repeatedly used the remark to mock the family. Despite revisiting those painful memories, Baldwin made it clear that her sympathy ultimately lies with Hilton's children, saying they should not bear the weight of their father's struggles.
Ending her message on a compassionate note, Ireland added:
“But his children deserve better, and a healthy father, and I am so sad for all of them. I hope he gets the help he needs and heals.”
Hilton is a single father of three children—all under the age of 14—who were born via surrogacy. Less than two months before his hospitalization, he announced on Instagram that he and his family were moving back to Miami after living in Las Vegas for 3.5 years.

Baldwin isn't alone in revisiting Hilton's treatment of young celebrities. Last October, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter, Tallulah Willis, also reflected on the blogger's impact.
Willis shared a now-deleted screenshot of a 2008 Perez Hilton post targeting her when she was 14 years old. The blog featured paparazzi photos of Willis hugging her father, Bruce Willis, while criticizing her clothing and making sexualized comments about the images. Hilton also referred to the teenager as a "fugly child," a remark that has resurfaced amid scrutiny of his past work.
Reflecting on the resurfaced post, Tallulah Willis wrote:
“Shame on you for sexualizing a little 14-year-old's body as a thirty fucking year old man. The concept that you got a good night's sleep on sheets LITTERALLY paid for by children’s tears is foul.”
Gossip Girl alum Taylor Momsen has also revisited Hilton's role in amplifying invasive paparazzi coverage from her teenage years, recalling how he publicized inappropriate photos taken of her when she was 16.
Check out the interview clip with Alex Cooper here:
Many online have acknowledged the difficulty of balancing Hilton's mental health crisis with the lasting impact of his blogging. Over the years, he repeatedly targeted celebrities, including Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, and countless others, leaving many to wrestle with empathy for his current situation alongside the pain his coverage caused.

Hilton's three children were removed from the residence before the livestream, and his TikTok account has since been deactivated and later banned for violating the platform's community guidelines related to self-harm. His family also confirmed Wednesday that he is "receiving medical care" and asked that the focus remain on his well-being.
That sentiment echoed Baldwin's closing message, in which she acknowledged her painful history with the blogger while expressing hope that he would get the help he needed—for his own sake and his family's.
Man Goes Viral After Getting Arrested For Standing On Hospital Roof Dressed As Grim Reaper And Staring At Patients
Gillespie also made noise up on the roof and eerie vocal sounds, disturbing the visitors and hospital staff who saw him.
GRIM REAPER arrested after creeping out hospital patients #weird #cool #comedy# funny #thestupidswww.youtube.com
Four police cars and multiple fire service vehicles were in attendance before they managed to get him down from the roof.
Gillespie did not explain his behavior or the costume, but he did plead guilty to the charges, as well as to stealing £30 to £40 of cat food and litter from a local Pets at Home on March 26, along with food and drink from Sainsbury's in Llandudno on May 28.
As a result of his offenses, Gillespie was ordered to pay a combined £250, including £100 in fines, £100 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service, and £50 in compensation.
The surprise Grim Reaper sighting spread across social media, and TikTokers couldn't help but wonder how this was illegal.

X users were similarly incredulous, calling the sighting hilarious.
A spokesperson for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board wrote:
"The health board has previously stated it has a zero tolerance approach to abuse, aggression or nuisance within its hospital sites."
"He was charged with other than for the purpose of obtaining medical advice, treatment or care, caused, without reasonable excuse, a nuisance or disturbance to a National Health Service staff member who was working there or was otherwise there in connection with work, and refused, without reasonable excuse, to leave the premises when asked to do so by a constable."
Since this took place at a hospital, there's no doubt that a person who received a difficult medical diagnosis might have seen the presumed Grim Reaper on the roof, and it would have only made their experience that much more traumatizing.
But people with a dark sense of humor and those counting down the days to the -BER months likely thought this was one of the coolest moments of the year.
