The Backrooms movie from A24, directed by literally 20-year-old Kane Parsons, has already pulled in over $10 million in previews and it hasn't even fully opened yet. A YouTube-to-theatrical pipeline success story that's making everyone feel deeply unaccomplished.

Deli Boys Season 2 dropped all six episodes on Hulu and Poorna Jagannathan says "Lucky loves toxic" about her character's romance arc. No patience required, binge immediately.
The original Backrooms YouTube series that inspired Kane Parsons' A24 film — if you haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet, now is the time. It's genuinely unsettling internet-native horror at its finest.
Celebrity Tea
Olivia Rodrigo responded to criticism about a dress by calling out "normalized pedophilia in our culture." She's never been one to hold back and honestly? The discourse around young women's clothing choices needed this energy.
TikTok & Internet
Katie Thomas — the one-handed woman who went mega-viral after getting ticketed for driving while using her phone with the hand she literally does not have — says the officer doesn't need to apologize, he just needs training. The most reasonable take possible from an absolutely absurd situation.
TikTok is being TikTok: accounts getting suspended for no reason, posts stuck at 0 views despite having shares, and someone's getting German-language scam pop-ups daily. The app remains a beautiful disaster.
