The internet made sooooo many jokes about Trumps fake news trophy tweet(图1)

Perhaps the biggest bummer about Twitter's new 280-character limit is that it allows the current president to compose tweets like this one:

On Monday morning, President Donald Trump hit Twitter to suggest a "FAKE NEWS TROPHY" for whichever news network he deems produces "the most dishonest, corrupt" coverage of his presidency. As usual, Fox was excluded from Trump's media rage.

In the same tweet, Trump referred to himself as the American people's favorite president with a parenthetical "(me)." According the most recent Gallup(opens in a new tab) poll, the self-described "favorite" president's approval rating currently sits at 37 percent.

Naturally the internet jumped all over Trump's first tweet of the day. Some even have a solid suggestion for Trump's proposed "FAKE NEWS TROPHY":

Kangaroos hungry for carrots and McDonalds are attacking tourists
Kangaroos hungry for carrots and McDonalds are attacking tourists
It goes without saying, but feeding wildlife can have unintended consequences.
Tourists visiting the Australian town of Morisset have learnt the hard way, as the area's large, wild kangaroo population has been responsible for an increasing number of attacks on visitors.

The problem stems from kangaroos being fed human foods which are outside of their natural diet, causing them to be hungrier and more aggressive for it.
"There have been a number of reported incidents in which kangaroos have attacked visitors, in one case causing a very deep gash to a man's stomach," Greg Piper, a Port Macquarie MP, said in a statement.(opens in a new tab)
"In most cases they have been kicking out, clawing faces, and grappling with people, causing lacerations or significant scratching."
A local shuttle operator, Shane Lewis, told ABC News(opens in a new tab) that he wants more people to be educated about the dangers of feeding kangaroos.

While there is ample warning signage at Morisset Hospital, where people stop off to see kangaroos, tourists lugging bags of food to feed the animals have ignored this.
"The kangaroos see at least 2,000 tourists a week and they don't need 2,000 carrots or bananas and bread, chips and biscuits," Lewis told the news outlet.
"I've even seen some silly people feeding them McDonald's, KFC, corn chips, oats and there are some foods they are very aggressive for."
Lewis said a man who had just visited a McDonald's had his stomach "gashed open" by a kangaroo, who for some reason went at him, despite having no food in possession.
Piper said he didn't want to stop people from seeing the kangaroos, but there should be more signage -- in multiple languages -- warning visitors to not feed.
"The genie is out of the bottle and it seems unlikely that this tourism can be stopped ... there should be appropriate signage about not feeding the animals as well as advice that the kangaroos can cause injury," he added.

Mispronounced names are a reality for many people. These World Cup presenters took a stand.
At the World Cup, you'd expect to hear a whole range of names from around the globe.
From the likes of Coutinho, to Pouraliganji, or Hasebe, you've likely heard commentators try to nail these pronunciations, because getting names right is an important sign of respect.

That, for some reason, has become the source of derision for certain Australian viewers, who were angrily tweeting because SBS TV presenter Lucy Zelić was pronouncing the names of players and coaches correctly. That's right, correctly.
The online complaints over the weekend ranged from people thinking that Zelić was "overpronouncing" names, and that she was putting on an accent.

On Monday, Zelić and co-host Craig Foster hit back at those complaints, tearing up when explaining why they aimed to get foreign pronunciations right — even if they may not get it completely correct every time.
"You're not pronouncing it for anybody other than the nation that you're covering, and out of respect to them, you're pronouncing it for them," she said.
"So when I have had Colombians write to me and say 'I've been living in Australia for 37 years, and constantly having my name mispronounced has always been a difficulty for me. To have it pronounced correctly is really quite touching.'"
Zelić added she was pleased the debacle occurred, because now it means a new audience can be educated on the importance of getting names right.

For many Australians (and people in English-speaking countries) with non-anglicised names, changing how one's name is pronounced for others is a common occurrence.
While trying to get pronunciation right seems insignificant, it means a lot to the people with those names.

BeReal unveils its latest attempt to Be Relevant again
BeReal unveils its latest attempt to Be Relevant again
Has BeReal's gimmick lost its novelty for you? It's desperately trying to win you back.
Today (May 1), BeReal(opens in a new tab) launched RealPeople(opens in a new tab), what the app calls "a curated timeline of the most interesting people" to users in the UK. It will be available globally "very soon."
While the new feature sounds opposed to the anti-influencer platform, in a press release BeReal explains, "RealPeople isn't about influencing, amassing likes and comments, or promoting brands. You won't see perfect photoshopped pictures, product recommendations, or ads disguised as posts." The app ensures users that RealPeople will be a combination of people you know and don't and that it's an attempt to show that public figures are real and boring too. OK...
SEE ALSO: You can now share what you're listening to on Spotify to your next BeReal

The update sounds like the feed on every other social media platform minus filters and sponsored posts. It comes on the heels of another update unveiled last week in the UK, Bonus BeReal(opens in a new tab). The feature is now available in the U.S. Bonus BeReal allows you to post an additional two BeReals throughout the day — but only if you post your first during the allotted two-minute window. It encourages users to post authentically once a day and share two more highlights. But it distracts from why users enjoyed the app in the first place, that you only needed to go on once a day. Bonus BeReal creeps into the tired Instagram story territory.
The platform also recently partnered with Spotify(opens in a new tab) to allow users to share what song they're listening to with their dual camera selfie.

These back-to-back updates are yet another effort to retain users after BeReal's daily users dropped from 20 million in October 2022 to 10.4 million in February 2023. BeReal first gained popularity in the U.S. on college campuses at the beginning of 2022, and from there it skyrocketed in relevancy across demographics, peaking in September 2022 with 12 million monthly downloads. Before this slew of changes, BeReal made no significant updates to the app.

YouTube Rewind is dead. Can Escape2021 take its place?
YouTube Rewind is dead. Can Escape2021 take its place?
This year, YouTube is trying something new: a 24-hour, gamified three-part interactive livestream called "Escape2021." Like YouTube Rewind, the ill-fated annual video event that preceded it, Escape2021 celebrated the year’s top content trends and featured some of the platform’s most popular creators, as well as major artists like BTS, Blackpink, Doja Cat, and Olivia Rodrigo.
YouTube clarified(Opens in a new tab) that Escape2021 was not intended to "replace" Rewind, to which I say: tomayto, tomahto.
YouTube officially canceled(Opens in a new tab) Rewind in October, but the format died years ago. A sore spot for creators and fans alike, 2018’s Rewind was the platform’s last earnest attempt at a year-end video that celebrated the creator community while also wooing advertisers. Instead, it became a symbol of how YouTube had lost its way, jumping the shark to the tune of "Baby Shark."(Opens in a new tab) The internet burned it to the ground, making it the most-disliked video(Opens in a new tab) in YouTube history within a week.
[Disclaimer: The author worked as a consultant to YouTube’s Culture and Trends Team from September 2017 to January 2020. She provided suggestions around each year’s top-trending content but was not directly involved in the production of YouTube Rewind.]
It wasn’t always this way. Rewind was originally a celebration of all the things that made YouTube great, a joyous community year-in-review.
Initially a simple "top videos" list in 2010, by 2012, YouTube had debuted the Rewind format(Opens in a new tab) that would become standard: a recreation of the year’s top music videos, memes, and moments in vignettes that featured creators themselves. It was celebratory, self-aware, and silly. Every year, the budget for Rewind grew bigger, the production slicker, the references more robust. As YouTube evolved into an industry juggernaut and an advertising machine, Rewind transformed from a true year-in-review into a showcase of YouTube’s shiniest, least offensive elements, a commercial for the platform itself. That often meant its most colorful creators were sidelined(Opens in a new tab) in favor of sanitized alternatives. The number of featured creators ballooned, as did the inclusion of late night talk show hosts and mainstream celebrities.
By 2016, the video(Opens in a new tab) opened with The Rock and closed with James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke.

In 2017, YouTube faced an existential crisis: the "adpocalypse," a platform-altering debacle in which advertisers pulled their spots after discovering that they sometimes ran alongside extremist and hate content. To placate these brands, YouTube offered new filtering options that excluded wide swaths of content from running alongside ads. This change impacted the earnings of some of YouTube’s most prolific and beloved creators, who watched their revenues drop(Opens in a new tab) as their trust in YouTube dwindled. Then Swedish gamer Felix Kjellberg, otherwise known as PewDiePie and the platform’s most-subscribed creator at the time, made anti-Semitic comments and defiantly sparred(Opens in a new tab) with the Wall Street Journal. Advertisers fled.
As a result of this fallout, there was immense pressure on the platform to make YouTube Rewind 2017 as brand-friendly as ever. It opened with Stephen Colbert asking Lele Pons and Lizy Koshy, two innocuous Vine stars-turned-YouTubers, to tell him about 2017 to the tune of a "Despacito" and "Shape of You" mashup. The video featured at least half a dozen other Vine alums, including Logan and Jake Paul, and ended with creators smiling broadly and sliding through slime. There was only a single indication that YouTube was aware of the year it had endured: Kjellberg was notably absent for the first time in five years.

As 2018 approached, it’s possible that YouTube thought the worst was over. Then, on Dec. 31, 2017, Logan Paul uploaded what is commonly referred to as his "suicide forest video(Opens in a new tab)," a vlog in which he encounters, films, and reacts to a body hanging in Japan’s Aokigahara forest. Paul, one of YouTube’s top-earning creators at the time, endured scathing criticism and fumbled through a set of(Opens in a new tab) apologies(Opens in a new tab). As YouTube scrambled to react, copies of the video appeared on the Trending Tab for a portion of users(Opens in a new tab). The site ultimately took more than a week to address the debacle in an "open letter" on Twitter(Opens in a new tab), which was widely derided. YouTube’s moderation policies were called into question, with long-time news commentator and YouTube watchdog Philip DeFranco opining(Opens in a new tab) that "YouTube is either complicit or ignorant" in the video gaining more than 6 million views before Paul took it down.
Before YouTube could catch its breath, Infowars’ Alex Jones twisted February’s Parkland shooting into conspiracy theory fodder. A video suggesting that Parkland survivors were crisis actors(Opens in a new tab) reached YouTube’s Trending Tab, further eroding public and creator trust in the platform’s ability to moderate itself at scale. June brought Tanacon(Opens in a new tab), August the much-publicized Logan Paul vs. KSI fight(Opens in a new tab). And then, on Aug. 29, Kjellberg posted a video(Opens in a new tab) playfully calling on his viewers to help him defeat a looming threat: the Indian production studio T-Series, whose YouTube channel was set to pass his own in subscribers. Kjellberg’s "bro army" waged an all out guerrilla war: hacking(Opens in a new tab) printers(Opens in a new tab) and buying billboards(Opens in a new tab) encouraging the public to subscribe to Kjellberg and unsubscribe from T-Series, in an attempt to stave off the inevitable.
The PewDiePie vs. T-Series campaign would last more than seven months, with Kjellberg admitting defeat in April 2019. It was not so much a battle between one of YouTube’s most recognizable, beloved, and problematic creators and an Indian production studio as it was an allegory for the end of an era. Kjellberg was held up as the last bastion of the old YouTube guard. If he succumbed, the YouTube we grew up loving — politically incorrect parodies, home videos, and double rainbows — no longer belonged to creators and the community that had built it.
SEE ALSO: T-Series finally surpassed PewDiePie in YouTube subscribers
PewDiePie vs. T-Series also highlighted the growing divide between the demands of advertiser-friendly content and creators’ ability to keep up. Large studios like T-Series could produce more content in a week than a single creator could in a year. Celebrities were opening YouTube channels with teams of producers and backing from YouTube itself. Plagued by burnout and worn down by demonetization, creators found themselves teetering on the edge of an uneven playing field.
YouTube Rewind 2018(Opens in a new tab) tried its best to create a shimmering highlight reel of a terrible year. The result was, as tech creator Marques Brownlee put it(Opens in a new tab), a "chaotic barrage of clips that’s really hard to watch." The video opened with a (much-memed(Opens in a new tab)) Will Smith cameo and went on to cover Fortnite, parody K-pop, and then pause for an awkward segment acknowledging a bevy of social issues, including mental health, Asian representation in entertainment, the "empowering art of drag," education, women’s empowerment, and "people who put aside their differences."

The flub led to an almost-inspiring unification of fandoms. PewDiePie fans were upset that their idol and efforts to defeat T-Series had not been acknowledged. Creators were upset that they had been portrayed as unbearably cringey. Driven by a combination of anger, embarrassment, and disappointment, they began to dislike the video en masse. They were eventually joined(Opens in a new tab) by(Opens in a new tab) the BTS Army, who were disgruntled after view count freezes and the removal of tens of millions of views(Opens in a new tab) from BTS music videos (a result of YouTube’s perpetual fight(Opens in a new tab) against spam views) complicated their streaming efforts and jeopardized their record-setting goals(Opens in a new tab).
Together, they made YouTube Rewind 2018 the most-disliked video in YouTube history. In 2019, YouTube returned to its list format and in 2020, they pointed to the global pandemic as a reason for skipping Rewind altogether. Finally, in October 2021, YouTube announced Rewind would not be returning and that they would be highlighting creator-made rewind videos instead.
So, is Escape2021 an improvement over Rewind? I think so. Ultimately, Rewind tried to be too many things to too many audiences. "The problem with YouTube Rewind," explained Brownlee, "is pretty simple: YouTubers and creators and audiences see it as one thing" — a celebration of the best moments on the platform — "and YouTube… sees it as something completely different" — an advertiser-friendly highlight reel.
YouTube can’t make everyone happy, and Escape2021 knows that.
Ultimately, Rewind tried to be too many things to too many audiences.
The event featured notably brand-safe creators and trends. Mark Rober made an elephant toothpaste volcano, with an assist from Mr. Beast, as a gaggle of schoolchildren looked on. Soccer fan content creators AFTV(Opens in a new tab) commentated a nail-biting marble race crafted by Jelle’s Marble Run.(Opens in a new tab) A very charming magician duo faced off in a test of their skills. And there were no less than four “Real or Cake” guessing games featuring Sideserf Cake Studio(Opens in a new tab). Most of these segments were accompanied by interactive gameplay for viewers in the live chat. This creator-centric content was offset by games and music video trivia highlighting artists like The Weeknd, Blackpink, Doja Cat, and The Kid Laroi. The finale featured a virtual concert with Maneskin and BTS, hosted in Minecraft. The tempo of the event was relaxed, even slow at times. It was beautifully produced and palatable and, most importantly, it didn’t feel forced.
Julia Alexander(Opens in a new tab), who reported extensively on YouTube for The Verge and Polygon from 2017 to 2021, and whose work is referenced throughout this piece, says Escape2021’s format makes sense.
"YouTube is at the point where their creators exist in their own infamy, they kind of don't need to be involved," she says. "If we look at YouTube's trajectory over the last five years, what they want to put emphasis on as a brand, it's just become much more music-focused."

So putting on a show with big artists and spotlighting brand-safe creators is a smart path forward. "That way, it's hard to argue YouTube as being inauthentic," Alexander adds. "You can argue YouTube is making an advertising play, and they are. But at the end of the day, that's still better coverage than what they're going to get out of Rewind [which is] simply, ‘It's cringey.’ And that's the best option."
According to Alexander, there’s not a huge difference between YouTube Rewind and Escape2021. "One is in celebration of YouTube," she explains, "and one is in recognition of YouTube."
As I contemplated the stream, and watched a giant knife cut into an inanimate object for the 10th time to reveal whether it was made of cake or not, I realized what she meant. Whereas Rewind sought to encapsulate the culture of the platform, Escape2021 seeks to capture the content. Creators represent a wild spectrum of perspectives and personalities; they’re complicated, difficult to predict, and messy in all the ways humanity can be. Content, on the other hand, is a commodity. Content can be controlled.
Whereas Rewind sought to encapsulate the culture of the platform, Escape2021 seeks to capture the content.
Still, Julia thinks it would be wise for YouTube to invest in a new way of celebrating all of its creators, even the ones that don’t meet its advertiser-friendly standards, "in a way that is not just a commercial on NFL Sunday." That’s especially crucial when Black(Opens in a new tab) and LGBTQ+(Opens in a new tab) creators report feeling that demonetization affects them disproportionately.
The question is, "What [do] you do that celebrates [creators] and reiterates that you are one of the few companies [providing them with] a good revenue split? Looking at those types of positives," she says, will be the key to rebuilding that relationship.

Bumble launches mental health and self-care badges
Bumble launches mental health and self-care badges
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and dating app Bumble is kicking it off with a new set of Interest Badges and Prompts about self-care and mental wellbeing.
Interest Badges on Bumble let you signal to other users what you care about, while Prompts let you show a little personality and can be good conversation starters. Six new Badges to choose from are "Therapy," "Mindfulness," "Deep chat," "Nutrition," "Sleeping well," and "Time offline." New Prompts include, "My mental health game changer was..." and "I'm prioritizing my mental health by..."
Mental health is important to millennials and Gen Z daters, especially since the pandemic. Since 2021, dating experts have said that self-care and mental healthcare and awareness is more important to singles than ever. A survey of 1,000 adults Bumble commissioned, conducted in April 2023, came to the same conclusion: Millennials and Gen Z are more likely than any other generation surveyed to go on a second date with someone who mentions therapy or their mental health journey on the first date.
SEE ALSO: Bumble says UK cyberflashing bill isn't enough

Overall, 55 percent of respondents said it's important to be open about mental health when connecting with others. A majority, 60 percent, are comfortable talking about mental health on the first date, while 53 percent are comfortable talking about therapy. Having these conversations is one of the most important factors to take into account when searching for a romantic partner, according to respondents.
If "Time offline" is your Interest Badge of choice, you can pause your Bumble activity without losing any connections or chat with Snooze Mode(opens in a new tab); you can choose to hide your profile from potential matches for 24 hours, 72 hours, a week, or indefinitely. Bumble also has an Incognito Mode(opens in a new tab) that allows you to only appear for people with whom you want to match.

"Over the past few years, people have prioritized their mental health and personal self-care journey more than ever before, and now we are prioritizing it within our relationships," said Bumble's sex and relationship expert, Shan Boodram, in a press release. "Putting our mental health first can only make us better partners and ultimately have a stronger, healthier relationship in the long run."

A Twitter saga has erupted with everyone from celebrities like Chrissy Teigen(Opens in a new tab) to LA locals(Opens in a new tab) weighing in on a fierce parallel parking battle. The internet is now firmly split — are you #TeamBlackCar or #TeamSilverCar?
But how did we get here? Let's start at the beginning, with some high-stakes parking choices and even higher levels of passive aggression.
Twitter user @Mrhflrs set the scene, starting thread on Monday evening about the horrors of parking in Koreatown. The backstory: Silver Car, on the right, is blocking Black Car, on the left from parallel parking into a coveted street spot in LA.

If your name is another pop culture victim, we're sending good vibes.
Trump and Bloomberg are trading cheap shots on Twitter. Time to log off.
Trump and Bloomberg are trading cheap shots on Twitter. Time to log off.
Billionaires Donald Trump and Mike Bloomberg are throwing the cheapest of cheap shots at each other on Twitter, and it's too early for this.
Before most people even had a chance to get their caffeine fix, Trump tweeted yet another dig at Bloomberg, who's running for president as a Democrat. Trump once again called Bloomberg "Mini Mike," and then took the height shaming to another level by calling him a "5'4" mass of dead energy who does not want to be on the debate stage with these professional politicians."

Trump went on to say that Bloomberg hates Bernie Sanders and "will, with enough money, possibly stop him."
This time, Bloomberg responded to Trump by tweeting... a Gladiator meme of Russell Crowe with the quote "The time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end."

Per a tweet from CNN's Shimon Prokupecz(Opens in a new tab), Bloomberg gave a more detailed response to Trump's tweet, saying, "Somebody said you know that he’s taller than me, he calls me Little Mike and the answer is, Donald, where I come from we measure your height from the neck up. I am not afraid of Donald Trump."

Per the Washington Post(Opens in a new tab), Bloomberg says he's standing strong against Trump's insults. "There’s nothing that Donald Trump can do or say that can hurt me... He’s not going to bully me, and I’m not going to let him bully you," the Democrat recently told a crowd of supporters.
From the looks of it, Trump's tweets aren't going to wear this guy down any time soon.
