The public disclosure of more than 20,000 pages of newly released documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been the subject of much online discourse this week. While the emails themselves are full of damning revelations, particularly regarding Epsteins relationship with President Donald Trump, the internets attention has been caught on another detail. BREAKING: Newly released emails reveal Jeffrey Epstein struggled to compose sentences in English, journalist Tom Elliott posted on X. Why can none of these very rich and powerful men type or spell, journalist Jill Filipovic asked. In case you havent seen it, one such email reads: i want you to realize that that dog that hasnt barked is trump.. [REDACTED] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there. Thats verbatim. While undoubtedly there are more important things to focus on than Epsteins grasp of the English language, it is, for many, a point of interest. I know that once you get to a certain status, you dont bother with email signatures and salutations, but taking out proper nouns and punctuation is a psychotic power play, one X user wrote. Gagging here trying to read Epstein emails with these unwarranted spaces before every comma and no caps to speak of, another added. Such naked contempt for the reader. Messed up guy no doubt. Epstein isnt the only one who seemingly struggled with email writing. Nearly one in five Americans now turn to AI to help write their emails, making it the most common way people offload to AI in their daily life. ResumeTemplates.coms August 2025 survey found 25% of ChatGPT users can no longer pen emails without it. I never understood why white-collar professionals would need AI to write their emails as if they were that illiterate, another X user wrote. but after reading Jeffrey Epstein write hay Grlmane I thk mebbe wire $30K [REDACTED] girl Mrlago I kinda get it.

Another week, another questionable TikTok trend. The latest internet sensation has social media users asking someone to film them dancing. Instead, the dancer clicks the flip-camera button mid-dance filming the filmer instead of themselves. And while the trend is meant to be funny (and, of course, get clicks), not everyone is laughing. The prank, called the flip-camera trend, has resulted in hundreds of videos showing awkward, close-up faces of people who believe they are filming friends (or even strangers) circulating on the platform. However, some of the videos are awkward to view, and are resulting in some major embarrassment. That’s especially true when the videos get major traffic. While some of the videos appear to be all in good fun, some of them seem downright hurtful. Some videos show well-meaning strangers simply trying to help out, only to have their faces posted to the internet to be mocked by hundreds, thousands, or more. Some users have posted ultra-emotional responses showcasing the true embarrassment that may come with having your face shared across the internet without consent. Recently, TikTok user its.jusninii shared a video showing her in tears over the prank. “Me after seeing the flip camera trend and realizing how cruel you little kids are,” she wrote. The video clearly struck a chord, as it has over 2 million likes at present. But the user is not the only one who is airing their feelings about the prank. Hundreds of response videos have been trending where users, instead of making their own flip-camera videos, are calling out the users who are taking part. Many of the videos have the same message: they say the prank isn’t all in good fun. It’s actually bullying. In one recent video, TikTok user Nathalie Reynolds acts like she’s about to flip the camera on her filmer. Instead, she takes the opportunity to bash the prank, yelling into her phone “You thought I was about to flip the camera? This is not a trend. This is bullying!” And on Instagram, user @coquettesvanilla wrote that the entire trend is built around embarrassing people, and from that lens, it’s not okay. “We shouldnt be building a whole trend around tearing someone down,” the user wrote. “Bullying isnt always loud or obvious, sometimes it hides behind its just for fun. But if someone gets hurt, then it wasnt fun to begin with.” Bullying can take many forms, and these days, internet bullying is a huge concern, as kids spend more and more time online. But, according to StopBullying.com, it’s also worrisome because, in some cases, like if videos arent removed when someone asks, it can be permanent. “Most information communicated electronically is permanent and public, if not reported and removed,” the website explains. While many who’ve been pranked might not mind having their faces make the rounds on the internet, it seems clear that many feel downright violated. And when it comes to the question of bullying, the TikTok victims say it fits the bill.

The 2025 Leonid meteor shower is forecast to peak this weekend, lighting up the night sky with up to 15 meteors an hour whizzing by at 44 miles per second, according to Live Science. The Leonids peak is expected to be visible in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere this Sunday, November 16 into early Monday, November 17, according to the Planetary Society. Expect prime meteor shower viewing, since the moon is expected to only be 9% full, giving viewers mostly dark skies. Here’s what to know about seeing the dazzling display. What is a meteor shower? Meteor showers, or “shooting stars,” occur as Earth passes through the trail of dusty debris left by a comet, per NASA. Meteor showers are usually named after the constellation or star near where the meteors first appear. The Leonids are aptly named after the Leo constellation, and come from debris from the Tempel-Tuttle comet. When is the best time to see the Leonid meteor shower? Typically, the best time to see a meteor shower is between midnight and before dawn. For the best viewing times in your area, see timeanddate.com. If you miss Sunday’s peak event, don’t worry. The Leonids will still be active the rest of the month, until November 30. Leonid meteor storms are a special treat About every 33 years, a Leonid meteor shower turns into a meteor storm, dazzling viewers with a treat1,000 meteors each hour, producing a dazzling light show. The last Leonid meteor storm occurred in 2002, with the next one forecast for 2031, the Planetary Society reported. The Leonids are best known for producing meteor storms in 1833, 1866, 1966, 1999, 2001, and 2002, according to the American Meteor Society.
