I've been screaming "Red lights, stop signs" for days now. The lyrics are gorgeous and heartbreaking — the bridge especially is a work of art. And the music video is honestly so amazing that I've watched it more than 10 times. View this video on YouTube Geffen Records / YouTube / Via youtu.be When I started writing this post, the music video was at 9.5 million and has now climbed to close to 10 million. Soon after its release, the song blew up and landed Olivia on the top of some major streaming platforms, and the music video has almost 10 million views and counting. The song also earned the attention of some pretty famous celebs, including Taylor Swift, who commented on Olivia's Instagram post that showed "Drivers License" right next to Taylor's two bonus songs from Evermore. Olivia Rodrigo / Via instagram.com Shortly after this, "Drivers License" went to No. 1 on iTunes and is currently still there. Basically, like me, the rest of the internet is also in their feelings about Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License." So here are some of the best reactions: 7. i think the reason drivers license is blowing up like this is bc u…

Trending Only 10 days into 2021 and these Armie Hammer cannibal rumours have shaken Twitter. Whether you believe it or not, there are been some pretty wild reactions to it. The alleged DMs that sparked the bizarre rumour were originally shared on Tumblr and private Instagram accounts, @houseofeffie and @truths.and.facts, but were posted publicly on Twitter shortly thereafter. Coming from multiple women, the alleged DMs show conversations of an explicit nature, with the actor allegedly referring to women as “kittens” and talking of “drinking blood” and “eating hearts”. “I am 100% a cannibal” reads one of the alleged leaked messages. However, the veracity of the DMs has been called into question, with many believing they weren’t actually written by actor Armie Hammer. Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic The DMs might not be real Many fans have rushed to debunk the DMs, with some suggesting they could be manipulated images. One account even shared a screenshot of alleged messages with one of the women in which they appear to confirm that it was made up. TRENDING: Vatican blackout rumours debunked! Others however have suggested that the above screenshot was also forged, while one woman responded by posting a screen recording of her…

WhatsApp's new policy is facing criticism on security concerns over a potential increase in data sharing with its parent, Facebook. January 11, 2021 / 12:10 PM IST The Union labour ministry is reportedly considering using "WhatsApp and other social media platforms" for salary communication, even as concerns related to data sharing and privacy are rising.According to a Mint report, the draft orders have been placed in the public domain for comments and are expected to be finalised and included in the Industrial Relation (IR) Code Act after a month.Moneycontrol could not independently verify the report.Labour economists and cybersecurity experts told the publication that such a move might enable social media platforms to access financial and social security details of workers.Explained: The four labour codes and what they mean for India's workforceWhatsApp's new policy has recently received criticism due to concerns over a potential increase in data sharing with its parent company Facebook."All payment, including wages, to the workers shall be made by crediting in the bank account of the worker on electronic mode or digital form.

MADISON (WKOW) -- President Donald Trump is the first prominent U.S. politician to face a lifetime suspension from Twitter. Politics and communication experts say the ban sends a message. "President Trump has violated Twitter's terms of service, Facebook's, YouTube's, for five years now," UW-Madison journalism professor Mike Wagner said. "They're finally enforcing their terms of service on the president in the way that they enforce it on others, and it's important to show that the president is not above those terms of service from social media platforms." Twitter said it banned Trump because his tweets posed a risk of inciting violence following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. "They see President Trump is not only a source of misinformation on Twitter, but also having helped instigate the violence that we saw in the U.S. Capitol," political expert David Canon said. "That's what finally pushed Twitter over the edge and said, 'okay, we just can't do this anymore. This is actually really harming our democracy and undermining our ability to function as a democracy.'" Even without access to the platform he frequently used to directly address his supporters, journalists and other members of the federal government, Trump will have access…

IPOH: M. Sugu (pic) has pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing a sickle at Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun in July last year. Sugu – one half of the “Sugu Pavithra” Youtube cooking channel along with his 28-year-old wife S. Pavithra – was sentenced to a three-year good behaviour bond of RM8,000 by Sessions Court judge Norashima Khalid on Monday (Jan 11). Lawyer Mohamad Hafiz Jalaludin, who represented the 29-year-old former estate worker, thanked the court for the decision. "We are relieved that the court has agreed to sentence our client with such an order. We believe Sugu's wife will pay for the bond," he said when met outside the courtroom. He added that Sugu will also have to pay an additional RM3,000 to bear the cost of the investigation into the case. Sugu was charged with assaulting Pavithra with a mobile phone and a sickle at the parking lot of the hospital on July 21 last year. He has since been given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal by the Sessions Court here over the assault charge. In proceedings earlier, lawyer Muhammad Shahrul Nizam Mohd Radi, who also represented Sugu, pleaded to the court for a lighter sentence.…

Model Natasha Hudson (left) and YouTube cooking sensation S. Pavithra in the much-discussed Rizman Ruzaini creation. — Picture via Instagram/Natasha Hudson, Pepatung PETALING JAYA, Jan 11 — Malaysian designer duo Rizman Ruzaini revealed that the white shoulder-baring gown that made headlines last week was previously worn by the YouTube cooking personality S. Pavithra. The one half of the YouTube channel Sugu Pavithra was spotted in the dress for a photoshoot with fashion magazine Pepatung during last year’s movement control order (MCO). In an Instagram post yesterday, Rizman Ruzaini said the magazine also brought a stylist to the photoshoot, adding that Pavithra found the outfit to be too exposed. “Unfortunately, this dress was a bit too revealing for Pavithra (a bared one shoulder drape sleeve using thin see-through tulle fabric) which does not conform with Pavithra’s personal liking. “She later personally requested that her shoulder be covered up properly,” the post read. While the post didn’t mention names, the designers appeared to be referring to last week’s kerfuffle involving the Malay-Australian model Natasha Hudson who was lambasted for wearing the dress at a Crystal C White product launch. Many, including the dress’s designers said it was inappropriate for a hijabi to…
