Another Shipwreck
Jun. 1st, 2026 09:47 pm
*not that random, I actually know them pretty well.

Obsession has, undeniably, become one of the biggest surprises in popular culture this year. The Focus Features film has had astonishing amounts of word-of-mouth hype, bucking traditional box office trends and grossing more money in its second and third weekends. A lot of people are now curious to see what the future holds for the film’s director, Curry Barker, as well as its small ensemble cast of largely-unknown names.
Now, we have an answer for one of those cast members: Michael Johnston, who stars as Baron “Bear” Bailey in the film. Late last week, Johnston shared the teaser trailer for Marvel Television’s upcoming second season of X-Men ’97 to his social media accounts, and revealed that he is voicing the young Nathan Summers / Cable in the new season. As his caption reads: “I had the absolute privilege of voicing Nathan Summers in Marvel Animation’s #XMen97?.”
A Coach shopper ordered from the luxury brand online. Then they allegedly sent her a “knock-off.”
In a viral TikTok video with 34,900 views, handbag enthusiast Maeg (@maeglovesbags) accused Coach of sending her fake merchandise.
There’s a snake in my boot, because Taylor Swift is officially a part of Disney’s Toy Story 5. On Wednesday, Swift officially announced “I Knew It, I Knew You”, a new original song that will be featured on the soundtrack for the film. The song will be officially released on Friday, June 5th, just a few weeks before the film officially debuts in theaters on June 19th. Limited-edition CDs of the song, as well as acoustic and piano variations of it, are currently available (while supplies last) on her website until Wednesday at 1pm CT.
“I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie,” Swift’s post announcing the news reads. “I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?”
At long last, Euphoria is finally over. Fans from all over were there for the HBO drama’s swan song this weekend.
Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi will have to find something else to do with their time after HBO confirmed that Season 3 of Euphoria is indeed the end of the series. Sam Levinson put these young adults through the wringer over the last half decade and change.
Seniors are some of the most vulnerable populations in a society. Many languish without neighbors even noticing. But Caitlin (@tootall2function) on TikTok arrived just in time to aid a senior, who has been living without water for nearly two years.
Caitlin, who’s from Seattle, posted a clip about a struggling, elderly, deaf man, whom she considers to be a grandfather figure. She doesn’t show his face, but she records the interaction as she stands outside of his porch. Catilin revealed that the man has been left without water service and garbage service for over two years. Inside, the man’s home is cluttered with three-foot-tall garbage.
Donald Trump’s attempt to rename the Kennedy Center just hit a major roadblock, but Congress could still hand him the keys if he gets his way. A federal judge ruled on May 29, 2026, that the president’s name must come off the Kennedy Center’s facade and other signs within two weeks, slamming the brakes on his late-December decision to rebrand the iconic performing arts venue as the Trump Kennedy Center.
Judge Christopher Cooper made it clear that only Congress has the power to change the center’s name, not the board of trustees where Trump currently serves as chair. Cooper also temporarily blocked Trump’s plan to close the Kennedy Center for two years of renovations, a move the president pushed as chair of the board, according to CNBC.
Scams on online platforms are a dime a dozen. Retailers like Poshmark are expected to provide robust customer support for both consumers and sellers. But Kelsey (@thesoloedit) from Dallas, Texas, completely felt alone when her buyer, Calli, tried cheating her on a full refund.
Kelsey told TikTok that she sold her designer shoes on Poshmark. Although she no longer had the box and other inclusions, the shoes were brand new. It was obvious that they’d never been worn, because the soles of the shoes were smooth. Calli, the buyer, took interest in the shoes and asked Kelsey to have them shipped immediately because she will be using them for graduation photos on Friday.
The U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza has officially collapsed into a sick joke. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just ordered his military to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip, a brazen expansion that shreds the already fragile truce. In footage aired by Israeli media on May 28, 2026, Netanyahu confirmed Israel already controls 60% of Gaza and directed troops to push that to 70%.
According to Al Jazeera, when someone in the audience yelled that Israel should take the entire enclave, he didn’t push back. Instead, he said they’d start with 70%, leaving the door wide open for a full takeover. This isn’t just a violation of the ceasefire; it’s a full-scale land grab. Back in March, the Israeli army quietly sent maps to aid organizations showing it had already expanded control by 11% beyond the so-called “Yellow Line,” the boundary set in the October 2025 truce.
President Donald Trump just took a swipe at Jill Biden, mocking her for not rushing to her husband’s side during his disastrous June 2024 debate performance while boasting he alone knows the “real reason” Joe Biden bombed on stage. His May 29, 2026, post on Truth Social, framed Jill Biden’s delayed reaction as a failure of wifely duty and used her own admissions to double down on his debate victory.
Trump’s rant comes in response to excerpts from Jill Biden’s upcoming memoir, View from the East Wing, hitting headlines, revealing her private terror that her husband might have suffered a stroke or been drugged during the debate. “Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate,” he wrote, according to The Daily Beast.
What if the government is hiding more secrets than what humanity is ready for? And if aliens are real, how would humanity come to terms with their existence? These are the central questions of Disclosure Day, the upcoming movie by Steven Spielberg.
Social media has been entirely stoked by Spielberg’s comeback. It has been 4 years since the director’s last film, The Fabelmans, so people are eagerly waiting for the release of his next film. Moreover, this would be the first alien movie Spielberg has made since War of the Worlds (2005). If there’s anything this director knows best, it’s how to make classic alien films.
There is no doubt that Witch Hat Atelier is one of the season’s biggest releases. The Mary Sue sat down with Joshua A. Waters and Madeleine Morris to talk about being a part of this lush show.
Waters plays sorcerer supreme and witchy dad Qifrey. Meanwhile, Morris is Agott, one of Quifrey’s apprentices with a ton to prove. Both of these voice talents do an amazing job of bringing this vibrant world to life.
Out-of-body experiences happen when people are weary, tired, or even under distress. There’s always an underlying explanation to every strange phenomenon on TikTok. But Daeshawn (@daeshawndior) from Oklahoma couldn’t explain how her dead cousin seemingly came back to life.
“There’s a glitch in the f****** Matrix,” Daeshawn told TikTok. The story involves Daeshawn, her sister, their cousin, and an unsettling core childhood memory. She prefaced the story by saying one of their relatives had a baby—making her their other cousin. There were four of them, and during one tragic event, their two-year-old cousin drowned.
CBS just put a price tag on its late-night gamble, and the numbers are eye-popping. The network claims its deal with media mogul Byron Allen will flip a $40 million annual loss into a $15 million profit, a $55 million swing that executives are calling a bold reinvention of the midnight hour. But the real cost might not be measured in dollars but by the audience that’s already tuning out.
The move comes after CBS pulled the plug on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a decision that sparked weeks of backlash and left industry insiders scratching their heads. According to Variety, Colbert’s finale drew a massive 6.7 million viewers. The very next night, Allen’s Comics Unleashed debuted to just 878,000 viewers across two half-hour episodes, one of which was a repeat from last September.
A Louisiana couple decided to take a cruise. Then they realized that they left their suitcase behind, which had all of their belongings—shoes, clothes and essentials.
Social media influencer Millie (@tea.time.with.millie) posted a video with more than 5.7 million views in which she explained a conundrum. She and her partner forgot one of their suitcases at home, which happened to have all of their clothes in it.
The rare albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” in Bangladesh just got a last-minute pardon from the Eid al-Adha sacrifice after officials panicked over mobs flocking to see its famous blond fringe. The 700kg animal, sold for ritual slaughter, was spared when the government stepped in, citing security concerns over the unprecedented public frenzy. Instead of ending up as part of the festival, the buffalo is now at Dhaka’s national zoo.
This whole saga started when the buffalo’s owner, Ziauddin Mridha, noticed its uncanny resemblance to the U.S. president. According to The Guardian, his younger brother gave it the nickname, and suddenly, what was supposed to be a routine livestock sale turned into a full-blown social media phenomenon.
President Donald Trump is really upset about his latest legal battle over The Kennedy Center.
Earlier today, a report went out saying that Judge Christopher Cooper ruled against the Trump administration’s illegal renaming of the national landmark. Instead of closing relatively soon for renovations and a more permanent sign on the outside, now the institution will be hanging out in limbo.
Manifesting a classic meet-cute on social media is the ultimate dream for the modern single scene. But for one Kansas-based creator, a promising exchange with an online admirer took a sharp turn into a lesson on married life.
Maddie’s (TikTok/@maddswatts) recent car storytime has quickly captured the attention of over 88,000 viewers. In the video, she detailed an unbelievably unexpected interaction that started with a simple emoji reaction. But then a dumbfounding reveal from her digital suitor left her speechless.
An often unaddressed art crime involves authors and film producers, who take stories and then turn them into full-blown productions without consulting the people the story is based on. Kimchi and Jollof (@kimchixjollof), a pair of TikTok content creators from New York, had their story and branding allegedly stolen by a film company. Despite the pushback, the film production has not taken their film about Kimchi and Jollof down.
James and Wuruola, better known as Kimchi and Jollof, are a Korean and Nigerian couple who share their love for food and travel online. Outside of their cooking videos, most of their content revolves around their relationship as a couple. Their channel may be part of their source of income, but it’s also deeply personal to the pair.
In life, you often come across someone who seems dangerous right from the start, but then something happens, and your opinion begins to change. However, over time, you realize that their kindness was just a facade and that you were right to judge them based on your initial impression or how you first perceived them. Personally, I’ve faced this situation multiple times, and I hate to admit that despite some experience, I haven’t learned from my mistakes and continue to experience it.
TikTok user @riss.net uploaded a video on January 14, 2026, in which she talked about texting and calling a man over a long period but not feeling a spark. Then, when she and the man were in New York City, she decided to meet him, and they had a really good time, which made her change her mind. But, as she says in her video, when he visited her hometown for a weekend and stayed at her apartment for a while, she realized how wrong she was about their compatibility. She also found out that the man was toxic and weird.
Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream isn’t going anywhere, but the pint you’ve been grabbing for years is getting a secret makeover this summer. Ben & Jerry’s just confirmed the flavor will stay in freezers, but with a fresh new look that’s rolling out soon. If you’ve been scooping this caramel-swirled classic since 2007, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the updated design.
The news comes right after Colbert wrapped up his final episode of The Late Show on May 21, 2026. According to PEOPLE, Ben & Jerry’s took to Instagram on May 20 to celebrate the 19-year partnership, sharing a heartfelt post that included a video montage. The caption read, “Thanks for all the sweet memories @colbertlateshow. We’ll think of you every time we follow a caramel swirl towards a chocolate-covered waffle cone piece.”
After well over two hundred adaptations, Sherlock Holmes’ longtime nemesis, will finally become the star of his series, Moriarty. The scheming professor, James Moriarty, has had his spin-offs in the past, but not nearly enough compared to his sworn rival.
According to Deadline, writers Chris Cornwell and Oliver Lansley are collaborating on the upcoming series. Archery Pictures will be in charge of production.
I’m nearly thirty years old, and I can confidently say I’ve had my fair share of experiences- good, bad, and everything in between. However, at this moment, I can’t recall anything truly wild that has happened to me that left a lasting impression or story that still comes up at dinner tables years after the incident.
But unlike me, @ladylionhair has a story about an experience from ten years ago involving her and her husband. The memory is so vivid that she’s uploading a video of herself recounting it without any edits. Just six days ago, @ladylionhair posted a video where she talked about how her husband was accused by the local police of shoplifting $3000 worth of items from ShopCo. It turned out, after much questioning and convincing, that the real culprit was someone who had slapped the number plate of a stolen Subaru on the back of @ladylionhair and her husband’s car, causing trouble for them over the shoplifting incident.
It’s been a long road for Dr. STONE! And now, the final episodes are coming to Crunchyroll. The Mary Sue sat down with Aaron Dismuke, Felecia Angelle, and Brandon McInnis to talk about the journey to the end of this beloved series.
Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE Cour 3 sees the Kingdom of Science step into the future in some exciting ways. Dismuke plays our protagonist Senku, a man determined to help bring civilization back through science. Angelle is Kohaku, the brawn and beating heart of The Kingdom of Science.
The internet broke for a moment when they spotted Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley clutching a book that looks like Famesick by Lena Dunham. Fans think Ridley’s reading it because she has shared experience with Dunham regarding an ex-costar.
A viral paparazzi photo of Ridley with a book in tow. It didn’t seem like she was trying hard to cover the title up, which is why social media users didn’t struggle to identify the book. Famesick is a memoir by Lena Dunham, where she describes the complicated relationship she had with her Girls costar, Adam Driver. Ridley, who played Rey Skywalker, also famously had Adam Driver as her co-star and romantic on-screen partner in the Star Wars franchise.
Disney just fired back at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in a legal filing, calling the agency’s sudden crackdown on ABC license renewals a “clear warning to every broadcaster in America” and accusing the Trump administration of trying to “suppress speech” through regulatory intimidation. The response, filed under protest for WABC-TV in New York, labels FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s order “unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional”.
According to Fox News, Carr has demanded that eight Disney-owned ABC affiliates file early license renewals to prove they’ve been operating in the public interest, despite their current licenses not expiring for years. Disney’s filing argues this isn’t routine oversight but a deliberate attempt to weaponize bureaucracy against “disfavored editorial voices.”
Why does water turn black? There are incidents of water freezing black in some terrifying stories on TikTok, but they’re not always an unexplained, paranormal phenomenon. Geo Rutherford (@geodesaurus) from Wisconsin, an expert on spooky lakes, explains.
Madison Orlando, another TikTok user, posted a video of herself and her friends swimming in the Amazon River. She seemed to be enjoying her swim until she realized that the water was dark—almost black. Is this deadly pollution? Or worse, maybe this is where brain-eating amoebas live? There must be some sort of witchcraft turning the lake dark—except it’s not exactly witchcraft.
Keke Palmer and Sean Evans just turned their long-running flirtation into the internet’s favorite slow-burn romance. According to PEOPLE, on the May 26, 2026, episode of Palmer’s podcast, Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, the pair revisited their viral 2017 Hot Ones appearance, their on-screen kiss, and even teased a future morning talk show together. Fans are already calling it the most wholesome will-they-won’t-they of the year.
The podcast episode was packed with playful moments that had listeners shipping them hard. Palmer kicked things off by introducing Evans as her “potential future suitor,” setting the tone for an hour of teasing and chemistry. At one point, Evans admitted his childhood celebrity crush was TLC’s Left Eye, to which Palmer fired back, “I played Chili in the CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story movie. Close enough.” Evans didn’t miss a beat, replying, “Absolutely close enough.”
Everyone’s first ex-boyfriend has an uncanny knack for resurfacing exactly when nobody asked them to. And they’re usually armed with a sudden case of nostalgia and zero self-awareness. But this London-based TikTok creator wasn’t having any of it.
Creator Morgan Munroe’s (@morganmunroeofficial) recent scroll through her Instagram notifications delivered a spectacular blast from the past that she immediately wished she could unsee. In a viral clip, she walked her audience through a nightmarish afternoon.
I always subconsciously assume the worst when I take a flight somewhere because, honestly, there are so many things that could go wrong. I might arrive late at the airport, discover during baggage check that I am not allowed to carry certain items, find out my baggage is overweight, miss my flight, experience heavy turbulence, and the list goes on. Luckily, in the few flights I’ve taken, I’ve never encountered such problems.
However, TikTok user @mommaflorencia unfortunately did. But her problems aren’t like the ones I listed, as they are very specific to her experience as a mother. To give a quick summary before the main story, Flo took a Southwest Airlines flight from point A to B. Upon arrival, while waiting for her luggage, she discovered that the stroller belonging to her child had lost a wheel due to mishandling by airline staff. Even worse, they found out they wouldn’t be compensated for the damage and were instead given a $100 voucher.
One of 2026’s main events on Crunchyroll is Daemons of The Shadow Realm. The Mary Sue was honored to talk with Ben Stegmair and Molly Zhang about the new anime. Yuru (Stegmair) and Asa (Zhang) are two siblings dealing with “demon pairs” and the fate of their village.
We asked Stegmair and Zhang about the honor of being in Hiromu Arakawa’s latest story. Anime fans know their work from Full Metal Alchemist and other amazing entries in the medium.
Mistakes are inevitable if you’re a new server in the restaurant industry. After all, you’re learning the ropes on how to keep up with the demands of a fast-paced environment, managing multiple responsibilities, exercising your memorization skills, and of course, dealing with various customer behaviors.
When a newcomer does slip up, most people are patient and show them grace. There’s a grain of truth, or else it wouldn’t be on the list of seasoned servers’ default lies on Eat This! Not That when they mess up.

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)
The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.
Anyone who has worked in the service industry has had an embarrassing moment or two. Regardless of the severity or how long ago the blunder occurred, the awkwardness can still live rent-free in your mind. A “surprise me” gone wrong during a bartending shift is what haunts this Louisiana server to this day.
“I’ll never forget when I was bartending. I had this married couple,” TikTok creator Brittany Norris (@brittanynorris_). “A white woman and a Black man. They say, ‘I want High Noons.”
E. Jean Carroll’s $88.3 million court victory against the president is back in the spotlight after it was reported by numerous news outlets on Thursday, May 28, 2026, that the Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation into her. The alleged probe was to ascertain if Carroll committed perjury during a 2022 deposition in her civil lawsuits against Donald Trump, specifically over claims she made about not receiving outside financial help for her legal battles, centering on a check that surfaced nearly six months after that deposition.
Carroll’s legal team later told the judge and Trump’s lawyers that a nonprofit funded by Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, had covered some of her legal fees and expenses. Trump’s team argued that Carroll hid Hoffman’s involvement and that the omission damaged her credibility.
A viral TikTok video highlighted the pitfalls of working in the service industry. The issue of tips and dealing with customers can often become a point of contention.
In the clip, which has amassed 12,000 views, TikTok user not a quick question (@housecatchronicles) responded to a comment from a previous post.
President Donald Trump just hit The Wall Street Journal with a beefed-up $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a 2003 birthday letter he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. This is his second swing at the news outlet after a federal judge tossed the first complaint last month for failing to prove “actual malice.” The new filing is seven pages longer and doubles down on claims that the Journal’s reporting caused “overwhelming” financial and reputational damage.
The letter in question, released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, includes the line, “Happy Birthday, may every day be another wonderful secret,” scribbled inside a silhouette that looks like a naked woman. According to The Hill, Trump has repeatedly denied writing it, and his lawyers are now arguing the Journal either knew the story was false or deliberately avoided investigating the truth.
A woman on TikTok says she took her dog to Pet Paradise, a popular pet care provider, only to pick her up and realize her legs were no longer working.
In a video that has gone viral with over 11.6 million views, a distressed content creator based in Georgia who goes by Ak Roulette (@akroulette) describes what allegedly happened to her dog, Cynthia.
When it comes to public speeches, one could say that United States President Donald Trump is quite unabashed. He speaks without filters, which earns him a lot of praise from his supporters and criticism from many others.
A video of him is currently circulating on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter), and the reaction from the public has not been positive. People have called his comments in the video insensitive, while others have used stronger words to describe his behavior during the event, and none of them are favorable.
A man plans and pays for a Florida vacation with his partner. When she realizes they’re staying 45-minutes from Miami in Ft. Lauderdale, she feels as though he tricked her.
In a video with over 1.2 million views, TikToker Wunderr (@wunderr_) stands outside of his Ft. Lauderdale Airbnb, holding a digital camera.
