There’s a WhatsApp group for everything and I’m in most of them, how do I escape? From Oscar’s Holy Communion! to Concerned Residents! our heads and our handsets are bulging with WhatsApp messages. But, as in real life, if the chat isn’t relevant or just petering out, why hang on? It’s time to say goodbye. So I just leave the group then? Think about WhatsApp like a party. If it’s a small gathering, saying “goodbye” is good manners, but pick the right time. If Cliona on the Little Yale Preschool Mums WhatsApp group has just shared a picture of Ralph’s karate certificate, don’t leave just then. Please subscribe or sign in to continue reading.

By Melissa Angell (September 24, 2021, 9:44 PM EDT) -- The Second Circuit on Friday affirmed dismissal of Church United's claim that Vimeo discriminated by deleting its account over videos promoting gay conversion, saying the mere fact Vimeo didn't remove other videos with references to LGBTQ sexual orientation isn't enough to show discriminatory intent.Though the church and its pastor, James Domen, argued that they sufficiently alleged discriminatory intent since they purportedly identified similar videos on the platform that were not deleted, the panel didn't buy into that argument and ruled that Church United failed to state a discrimination claim."The allegations about these 'similar videos' in the amended complaint are...

Snapchat is still kicking among under 25s in the UK – despite TikTok’s surge in popularity. The OG camera-messaging app still pulls in millions of daily users – and data site Statista says Snapchat’s own 2021 figures put that number at an eye-watering 293 million. Though we love a good 30-second TikTok dance, sending funny or filtered photos and videos – which disappear seconds after they’ve been viewed – never gets old. On Snapchat, you can also show off your location with GeoFilters, check out your astrological profile, or document your day with 24-hour-long Snapchat Stories (a concept later released by Instagram). Reckon you fancy joining the youth of today on yet another app? Prepare yourself: there are a lot of acronyms and terms floating about, and you should probably know how to use ’em. Snapchat slang, acronyms, terminology and their meanings SMO: OK, so this one really depends on the context. SMO could mean Serious Mode On (meaning you’re feeling or talking about something in a non-jokey way). It could also mean Shout Me Out (perhaps meaning you want someone to give you a social media shout out). Though, if you’re getting on a bit and are seeing this…

The Twitter account for Amazon's hit animated series, Invincible, trolls fans by posting an unexpected Rick Roll video to hype up seasons 2 and 3. The PR team behind Amazon's hit animated series, Invincible, is having a blast trolling fans on Twitter. The series itself is based on the comic series of the same name, written by The Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman. In a similar vein to Marvel's Spider-Man comics, Invincible follows the story of a high schooler named Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) as he juggles his high school life with his secret life as the titular superhero, Invincible. However, unlike (most iterations of) Spider-Man, Invincible is unique in that it uses the bright colors and costumes typically associated with superheroes to mask a gory and violent underlying narrative. While Invincible shares many superficial similarities with Amazon's other gritty superhero series The Boys, the former sets itself apart from the latter by retaining an optimistic tone bolstered by genuinely heartwarming relationships between Mark and the show's various secondary cast – most notably, with his Superman-esque father, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Invincible doesn't ever eschew violence, but it does make sure to return to its hopeful roots by the time the dust settles. The formula proved to be enough of a hit for Amazon to renew the series for seasons…
