Karma’s a bitch (or should I say Carma?)
Good morning my angel babies!!! Had a huge #girlboss day yesterday which included going to a founders’ breakfast wearing a pink bow in my hair (one must always be the cutest in the room), and then going to something that is marketed as “THE CONFERENCE EMPOWERING WOMEN FOUNDERS” but which opened with not one, but TWO MALE SPEAKERS.
I’m not here to shit on it - there were some AMAZING wahine (women) speaking - but I just thought that was hilar and ironic, and that you’d all get a giggle out of it.

Justin Timberlake got what was coming to him
You’ve probs already seen it because it’s been heavily meme’d (or because your Dad sent it to you like mine did), but yesterday old mate JT was arrested and charged in New York for being intoxicated behind the wheel.
Obsessed with this description of what happened from the BBC:
“When officers stopped him, Timberlake's eyes were "bloodshot and glassy" and a "strong odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath", the document said.
His speech was slowed and he performed poorly on the officers' sobriety tests, officials said.
He also refused a breathalyser test, according to records.
"I had one martini and I followed my friends home," Timberlake allegedly told the officer who stopped him, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.”
Here’s his mugshot (the cops did something right for once by somehow shooting this in 4k):
Here are some of my fave memes about it:
Also the fact that the cop who pulled him over allegedly didn’t know who he was is excellent:

Men found a surprising new way to lie on dating apps
So in an age of increasingly-niche dating apps and profit-driven subscription models making the popular ones even worse, how are the boys supposed to get more matches? The solution posed by some on the internet for the past few years is, "can I pretend to be gay to get more likes from women?"
TikTok introduces AI-generated digital avatars
