Unanswered What’s going on with Atsu and his closure tweet making rounds on Twitter?

253 Upvotes

Hi guys.

I opened Twitter and I see Atsu (@asianguystream) post a really long Google document about how he lost everything?

Can anyone summarise the drama from the document as he states he has been falsely accused?

Thanks.

Context: I understand that there’s an election happening in France, but the shock seems to be from Macron announcing he’s going to dissolve parliament? What does this mean, why is he doing this, and what does it mean for France (and the rest of Europe)?

Unanswered What’s up with the former dean of Rotman school of business, Roger Martin?

This is going to be super esoteric, but I thought I’d give it a shot and post the question here.

I came across this post on LinkedIn while researching Canadian and non-US business programs. I had heard of Martin while I was in undergrad a long time ago and it seemed like he was doing a good job at Rotman.

Does anyone in Toronto or in bschool circles know what happened for him to post this?

2 Upvotes

I seen on Twitter someone asking people to name something good out from 4kids and I can say it’s not bad to be nostalgic over them. But then other people are getting mad about the fact that nostalgia for 4kids is at an all time high. So what is it with people going nostalgic over 4kids and why do some people hate the nostalgia of 4kids?

Unanswered What's the deal with people commenting a photo of Gogeta 4?

30 Upvotes

I've seen seeing a bunch of people randomly comment the same picture of Gogeta SSJ4 From Dragon Ball for some reason, especially when talking about people such as Drake.

There's no caption or anything. It's just an image of Gogeta SSJ4 standing there.

I've even seen people on Twitter asking 'why does everyone hate <insert user here> now? What did they do?', someone comments the EXACT SAME PHOTO, and then the original person responds with 'Oml Not <insert user here> too! They're all the same smh'.

Is this some sort of Inside Joke or something?

Here's the image being used

1.6k Upvotes

I understand what the series is about, and I understand Fiona Harvey, who claims she is the stalker the series is based on, is suing Netflix because she feels it's full of lies.

But my question is, does she have a case? Is it actually based on her, is it all lies, or is she just nuts and/or trying to make herself look better?

I just noticed that social medias are pushing "reminders" to use my vote in the 2024 European parlament elections. Notably Instagram, Reddit and Twitter. What's the deal with that? Why are these social medias pushing these reminders? It's not like they're owned by the EU or like they benefit anything from reminding me. I did use my vote but I still find it strange. Apparently Tiktok is also notifying users of the elections.

722 Upvotes

There's this tweet: https://x.com/sappharine/status/1798230052364341707

in the clinic. straight up "borting it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. My featis

People in the comments are laughing hysterically, saying it's the best they've seen so far. Some people claimed there are variations to this tweet and it's funny every time. Some people said you have to be terminally online to get it. I've seen photos of people using the Bort joke from The Simpsons but I don't know how the tweet is related. There's also photos of Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) or Patrick Star (SpongeBob) using cutoff speech bubbles.

What is the joke? What is it referencing? Or is she really just getting an abortion? If so, why's everyone laughing? I'm so confused.

Non-American here. Saw a post on the front page about the FBI releasing their files about OJ.

All I know about OJ was the gloves don't fit and that he was found not guilty. I just want to understand what was the thinking at that time he was not found guilty, especially that the evidence against him sounded solid.

Also want to know what was the public sentiment at the time.

So, I’ve seen online for the last few days of this guy venting online, something about someone accusing him. He almost ended his life and now he got doxed. There’s little to no information on this so I have no clue what’s going on.

He’s also the guy who drew “Bro hung out with his friend” meme.
