Cassie Lee just put a disturbing fan encounter on blast — and it’s the kind of harassment no woman should have to deal with. The TNA Wrestling star took to her Instagram Story to expose a creepy DM from a man who openly declared he wanted to impregnate her, making it clear he didn’t care if she was married. In the shocking message, the man spelled out his intentions with zero shame, writing: “If your MARRIED or NOT MARRIED i just plain DOWNRIGHT DO NOT CARE AT ALL PERIOD i want to PORK YOU you really good and KNOCK YOU UP really good as well sweetheart.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, he doubled down in another message — this time professing his so-called “love” for Lee and stating he wanted to make her his wife. “Want you 4 my wife & want give u more children Mrs. Cassie Lee Lozon. I just plain DOWNRIGHT do not care at all if you are MARRIED i want to PORK YOU & KNOCK YOU UP really really really really good ok honey i love you deeply Mrs. Lozon. love” Sadly, this isn’t the first time Cassie Lee has been targeted by disturbing

AEW talent Michael Nakazawa has turned to social media to ask for work, telling fans he needs money to provide for his young son. On August 10, 2025, Nakazawa posted a straightforward plea on Twitter, making it clear he’s open to wrestling bookings, translation jobs, or even writing gigs if it means keeping food on the table and diapers stocked. “I need money to buy diapers for my son. If there is anyone who is interested in using me for a wrestling show, a translation job, or writing a column, please DM me.” Nakazawa’s last AEW match was back in 2023 on AEW Dynamite in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he and Brandon Cutler lost to the Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley by referee’s decision. Since then, his in-ring schedule has been sparse. Outside of AEW, he’s only wrestled five matches during that time, with his most recent taking place on February 15, 2025, at Maya Yukihi 10th Anniversary ~ Back Then, Now And In The Future in Tokyo. On that night, Nakazawa teamed with Hikaru Shida to defeat Kota Ibushi and Maya Yukihi in a mixed tag match. The lack of regular work could explain Nakazawa’s public request

A King County man is facing 17 years in federal prison after posing as a teen boy to ultimately commit sexual acts with minor girls in Auburn and various other locations, including Kitsap, Snohomish, Lewis, Clark, Thurston, and Spokane counties and Woodburn, Oregon. On Aug. 8, James “Jake” Harrison Newcomer, 28, pleaded guilty to travel with intent to engage in sexual acts with a minor and two counts of attempted enticement of a minor. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Newcomer was on state supervision following his 30-month prison sentence for two counts of rape of a child when, in January 2024, he cut off his electronic monitoring device and proceeded to meet with various minor girls, including a minor in Auburn. According to court documents, in February 2022, the Auburn Police Department was notified that a minor victim who was born in 2008 ran away overnight. Snapchat messages were then recovered from the minor victim who ran away and a Snapchat user who was later confirmed to be Newcomer. According to documents, Newcomer told the girl how to disable her alarm at her parents’ home, and then made plans to pick her up the day she was reported

Snap wants to sell consumers on the entertainment value of augmented reality (AR) experiences, so it’s teaming up with a U.K.-based broadcaster to look back at some of the earth’s long-lost monuments. Seven Wonders of the Ancient World , a self-explanatory docuseries on Channel 5, includes interactive elements powered by the parent company of Snapchat. In a Newsroom post, Snap explained how its contribution to Seven Wonders of the Ancient World functions. “By simply scanning an on-screen QR code with their phones, viewers will be able to virtually travel to moments in time to explore, learn, and see these sites,” reads the post. “From traveling to Egypt’s Old Kingdom to check out the Giza Pyramids to seeing the beautiful Hanging Gardens of Babylon — people will be able to explore these awe-inspiring sites in Augmented Reality.” The concept of a “second screen” adjacent to TV viewership is nothing new, especially in the context of social media platforms, but the idea has recently been reexamined. Kids, for example, have been identified as regular users of second screens, inviting media companies like Netflix to cater programming to a half-checked-in audience.

Mike Follett, CEO, Lumen Research, “Our technology makes the invisible, visible.

Yesterday, Meta introduced a new map feature that's almost identical to Snapchat's Snap Map. The feature has quickly sparked a backlash, though, and not just because it's yet another example of Instagram ripping off a Snapchat feature. While the map requires users to opt-in to share their location, many users were surprised and alarmed to see that their Instagram map was already populated with the locations of some accounts when it launched. That's because the map automatically pulls in location info when someone has recently shared a Story or Reel with a location tagged. For example, I posted a Story that tagged San Francisco's botanical gardens and it tagged me there on Instagram's map even though I have my map location set to share with "no one." This isn't that different from how Instagram has worked in the past: location tags have always been visible to your followers, and the app has always had a map view that let people see public posts that have been tagged with specific places. My story post tagged me on Instagram's map even though location is set to "no one" because I tagged a location (in this case San Francisco's botanical gardens). (Instagram screenshot)
