An 8-Year-Old's Book About Farts Is a Real Gas — And It's Going Viral The video has received over 3 million views so far, plus comments from posters as diverse as Alec Baldwin and CoComelon. April 20, 2026, 3:02 PM EDT Fort Worth pediatrician Dr. Diane Arnaout recently published a well-researched book titled, "Hiccups." But it's her son's "Fart Book" that seems to be capturing the most attention on social media. Jack, who is now 12, wrote his masterpiece four years ago. Arnaout happened to scroll by the video she made of the book at the time and randomly decided to repost it on Instagram on April 11 set to the tune of Mozart's serious-sounding "Requiem." So far, it has received over 3 million views and comments from posters as diverse as Alec Baldwin and CoComelon. "Jack's totally tickled that his book has gotten so much more attention than Mommy's book, because my book took my attention away from him for quite a while," Arnaout tells TODAY.com. "It's making all of us just laugh so hard." Please scroll by if you don't want spoilers, but it would stink if we didn't share with you the very important text from the

LinkedIn holds a privileged position in the history of social networks. Not without reason, it was one of the first networks to be created, alongside other pioneers such as Myspace, although their paths have diverged significantly. Now firmly established as the world’s leading professional social network and with over 300 million monthly active users, LinkedIn continues to evolve, becoming one of the first applications that we open every morning. Given this relevance, Metricool has devoted one of its detailed studies to the platform, with the aim of uncovering useful insights into how we utilize and how LinkedIn functions within the field of marketing. To carry out this study, more than 670,000 posts from over 60,000 LinkedIn accounts at an international level were analyzed, during the months of January and February of 2025 and 2026. Through this analysis, Metricool has discovered that the main indicators of interaction have declined compared to last year: likes have fallen by 13%, comments have dropped by 17%, and shares have decreased by 10%. However, not all the news is negative: clicks have increased by 5%, as have other non-visible actions such as link clicks, video views, carousel swipes, or link openings. Taking all of this

By Brittany Siminitz | April 20, 2026 Facebook Wants to Scan Users’ Camera Rolls If users allow it, Facebook in the U.K. will ask to scan their camera roll, in order to recommend photos to post and provide suggestions for edits, collages, and more. “Many people capture life’s moments but rarely share them—whether it’s because they don’t think their photos or videos are shareworthy or because they simply don’t have time to create something special,” said a statement from Facebook owner Meta. “With your permission, this opt-in feature analyzes media in your camera roll to find standout moments—the memories that can get lost among screenshots, receipts, and random snapshots.” While it’s possible this feature could produce some good recommendations for brands to engage further with their customers, will anybody want to opt in to it? The thought of a big platform like Meta having access to one’s entire camera roll could be unsettling. Facebook experimented with a similar function in the U.S. last fall, and it does not appear to have been wildly popular. Perhaps the U.K. will have different results.

LOS ANGELES – Snap is getting ready to launch new smart glasses later this year, and the company is positioning them as a major step beyond the smartphone. I recently spoke with Snap co-founder and CEO Evan Spiegel about what they’re planning to launch, and got some hands-on time with an early version. The Los Angeles-based social media giant calls the upcoming glasses “Specs,” and they’re designed to bring augmented reality into everyday life. Inside the lenses, a virtual interface puts games, information and tools directly into the real world. During my demo, I grew virtual plants, did some finger painting, played an airbending-style game and even asked AI to identify objects around me. Spiegel says the goal is to make computing feel more natural. “I think one of the things that’s so exciting about specs is that they bring computing into the real world with see-through lenses,” he said. That shared, real-world experience is a big part of the vision. “We’ve been trying to do something different. We’ve been trying to make computing more human by grounding it in the real world and allowing you to share it together with your friends and your family,” Spiegel said. If a
