Michael Caine Cryptically Tweeted The Word 'Jet'—And The Jokes Came Flying In
May 14, 2025
Legendary Oscar winner Sir Michael Caine may be 92 years old, but he's no less a social media maven than the young people among us. In fact, he might even be better at it than the youths!
What makes him so good at the social media game is the way he gets right to the point with as few words as possible.
For example, his response to that appalling meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Trump in the Oval Office a few months ago? A simple tweet reading: "Trump calm down." Right! Exactly!
And Caine's latest Twitter hot take is perhaps the most succinct of all, at just a single, evocative word.
Exactly, king!
Okay, but what the heck does it mean? Well who knows, but the most likely explanation seems to be a reference to Trump's latest scandal, in which he has accepted the "gift" of a jet from Qatar in a gesture that is boldly unconstitutional even for him.
Speaking about the gifted 747, which Trump intends to use as the new Air Force One because the regular one isn't good enough for him, he told reporters:
“I could be a stupid person and say, ‘Oh, no, we don’t want a free plane.'"
"We give free things out. We’ll take one, too.”
The Constitution is unequivocal about the illegality of the President receiving foreign gifts, not that any of Trump's "Constitutional originalist" cronies give a fraction of a sh*t.
Anyway! Caine seems to have wanted to remind us all of this boldly illegal acct, or maybe to underline its absurdity with his signature tweeting style.
The humor was definitely not lost on pretty much anyone on X, who immediately turned it into a meme.
One of our greatest living actors and perhaps our greatest living tweeter. What can't Sir Michael Caine do?

U.S. UFC Star Threatens Canada For Booing Anthem—Then Gets His A** Handed To Him
May 14, 2025
UFC fighter Charles Radtke was widely mocked online after talking trash about Canada before his bout with Canadian fighter Mike Malott—only to be soundly defeated by Malott in the second round.
Radtke leaned into the role of the villain leading up to the fight, invoking President Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada as the “51st state” and saying he was seeking revenge for Canadian hockey fans recently booing the U.S. national anthem.
He said:
“I don’t give a s**t about hockey. That’s not my gig. But what I do hold dear is I grew up on a bison ranch with my grandfather, who’s a sergeant major in the Marine Corps, and when you all booed the national anthem, somebody’s going to have to pay for that.”
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Radtke leaned into this further when he refused to shake Malott's hand before the fight.
Then Radtke quickly found out that talking all that smack wasn't actually going to get him anywhere.
In the opening moments of the second round, Malott landed a sharp combination that caught Radtke in the center of the cage. As Radtke moved forward, he was met with a clean left hook that sent him to the canvas.
Malott quickly followed up with a flurry of ground-and-pound strikes, rendering his opponent unconscious and prompting a thunderous reaction from the home crowd. The emphatic knockout win marked a statement performance for Malott, improving his record to 7–1 over his last eight bouts.
And as you can see in the video below, it was as brutal as one would expect.
It was a great moment for our northern neighbor—and people celebrated.
Canadians celebrated the outcome of the match as Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced his new cabinet at Rideau Hall in Ottawa on Tuesday, vowing to make the country’s economy his administration’s “primary focus” following a snap election triggered by trade tensions and annexation threats from the Trump administration.
Addressing Canada’s evolving relationship with the United States, Carney told reporters he would “take ultimate responsibility” for managing diplomacy with Washington, supported by a five-member ministerial team covering foreign affairs, finance, public safety, defense, and Canada-U.S. trade.
Trump, meanwhile, repeated his false claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada by $200 billion, referencing the U.S. trade deficit with its northern neighbor. In reality, U.S. government data shows that the trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion last year—not $200 billion—and if energy imports from Canada are excluded, the U.S. actually runs a trade surplus.

High School Group Asks MAGA Rep. Why Trump Looks 'So Orange'—And His Answer Is Awkward AF
May 14, 2025
Things sure got awkward for Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack after a group of students asked him during a Q&A session why President Donald Trump is "so orange."
People can only speculate what brand of makeup or bronzer Trump uses on a daily basis but there's a reason why he's been nicknamed "the orange man," "Agent Orange," and even "Mango Mussolini"—the color of his face is really, really hard to miss given he's photographed all the time.
But Jack gave a spineless response, indicating that he couldn't answer even the most basic question about the president's affinity for orange makeup.
He said:
"Uh, that's, you know what, it's, it's, it's your perspective. It isn't certainly mine, I just think he has a great tan."
Then he moved on.
You can watch what happened in the video below.
The responses were savage.
This incident is certainly not the first time Trump's makeup application has become a topic of discussion.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who testified before the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 insurrection, revealed in her memoir Enough that Trump was initially reluctant to wear masks during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic because he feared the straps would mess up his makeup.
Hutchinson recounted an incident where Trump put on a white mask and asked for opinions. Upon realizing that the mask's straps were covered in bronzer, he refused to wear it, fearing criticism from the press for his appearance without considering the protective measures.
She wrote:
“I slowly shook my head. The president pulled the mask off and asked why I thought he should not wear it. I pointed at the straps of the N95 I was holding. When he looked at the straps of his mask, he saw they were covered in bronzer." ...
“The press would criticize him for not wearing a mask, not knowing that the depth of his vanity had caused him to reject masks – and then millions of his fans followed suit.”
A 2019 Washington Poststory also highlighted Trump's preference for makeup, revealing that his housekeepers regularly had to provide two full containers of white Tic Tacs and one half-full container, along with two full containers and one half-full container of the Bronx Colors-brand face makeup from Switzerland.
This meticulous demand was essential for Trump's grooming routine, even if it led to rust-colored stains on collars.

Transportation Secretary Slammed After Admitting He Made A Telling Switch To Wife's Recent Flight
May 14, 2025
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was criticized after admitting in a recent audio clip that he'd just switched his wife's Newark Liberty International Airport flight to one out of LaGuardia Airport—despite previously claiming his family flies out of Newark Airport "all the time."
Duffy’s remarks came as staffing shortages caused major flight disruptions at Newark on Monday, with the F.A.A. forced to delay incoming flights from across the continental U.S. and parts of Canada. According to an online advisory, delays averaged over 1 hour and 40 minutes and in some cases stretched to nearly seven hours.
The delays followed a brief radar outage on Friday at the Philadelphia air traffic control facility that oversees Newark’s airspace. That disruption echoed a similar outage on April 28, when controllers briefly lost communication with pilots. The April incident capped off months of technical issues that have left air traffic controllers overwhelmed.
Speaking on a radio show recently, after the host noted that issues at Newark are compounded "with both a runway closed for construction until June [and] air traffic controller issues," Duffy, with no trace of irony, said:
"My wife was flying out of Newark tomorrow. I switched her flight to LaGuardia.”
You can hear the exchange in the audio below.
Compare those words to the response he gave to Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker when she asked him "if it's safe to fly out of Newark Airport right now":
"It is. I fly out of Newark all the time. My family flies out of Newark."
Many have called out Duffy's hypocrisy.
Earlier this week, Duffy attributed the ongoing issues at Newark—and broader disruptions across the U.S. flight system—to the Biden administration, criticizing what he described as a failure to address persistent staffing shortages and infrastructure challenges within the FAA.
He said:
“We didn’t have to be here. This did not have to be our story. Over the last four years, the last administration, they knew this was a problem. And by the way, during Covid, when people weren’t flying, that was a perfect time to fix these problems.”
What Duffy conveniently overlooked is that the period he blamed on the Biden administration also includes 2020—the final year of Donald Trump’s first presidency.

People Share The Things They Consider 'Normal' In Their Country That Would Shock Tourists
May 14, 2025
What's normal but a setting on the clothes dryer?
What we label "normal" would often be best described as "common." Normal is defined as "conforming to a standard" or "the usual, average, or typical state or condition."
If something occurs frequently, it's labeled normal. If it rarely happens, it's abnormal.
But something may happen all the time in one place and almost never happen in another.
So is it normal or not? What we call normal is completely relative.
Reddit user moonveil96 asked:
"What’s a super 'normal' thing in your country that would completely confuse or shock someone visiting for the first time?"

"We invited them to dinner, and when I met them, since for me it was a social thing, I kissed them both. I did notice the guy (he is a comically HUGE irish guy, I'm 1.8m and had to stand on tiptoes to kiss him) kinda froze, but I didn't think much of it."
"My wife told me a few days later that the boss had used me as an example during one of those corporate things they do about culture clashes. He also mentioned I had been the first man to kiss him, and that his wife scolded him at the time with a 'don't be a baby about it, it's their way!'."
"We met them again a few months ago, I grinned and asked him if I could kiss him again. 'Maybe a little one' was his answer."
