10 Sharp Phrases Brilliant Women Often Use When A Man’s Ego Gets Totally Out Of Control

10 Sharp Phrases Brilliant Women Often Use When A Man’s Ego Gets Totally Out Of Control

It’s not uncommon for a woman to come across an egotistical man who doesn’t know when to cool it. It can be frustrating to be dismissed by men who feel that they can say and do whatever they want, and sometimes they need to be brought down a notch. The most brilliant women know that there are a handful of sharp phrases they can use to knock them down a peg or two. Brilliant women often use these sharp phrases when a man’s ego starts spiraling: 1. ‘You’re not as great as you think you are’ Olena Yakobchuk / Shutterstock This phrase is a witty yet cutting way to challenge a man’s insistence that he’s more important than everyone else in the room. When a man feels overly confident and arrogant, he builds an image of himself as better than sliced bread; bringing him back to reality can help him realize he’s not more important than the next person. Sometimes people need to be humbled, and there’s nothing wrong with bestowing a little humility on …

Teenager jailed after robbing man’s gold necklace at central London station

Teenager jailed after robbing man’s gold necklace at central London station

A teenager has been jailed after following a man off of a train in central London and robbing him of his gold necklace. Mamadou Bah, 19, was sentenced to three years imprisonment at Warwick Crown Court having pleaded guilty to robbery at an earlier hearing. The incident occurred at around 4.30am on Saturday December 20, 2025, when Bah noticed another man asleep on the carriage of a Central Line train. Spotting the man’s gold chain necklace, Bah followed him off when he woke up and got off at Chancery Lane Underground station. He then grabbed the man’s collar from behind, and managed to tear the gold necklace off his neck, breaking the clasp in the process. However, the victim refused to let Bah leave, restraining him near the station’s escalators, and a few minutes later station staff attended and contacted British Transport Police (BTP). Officers separated the pair before searching Bah, who was found to have two gold chains, including the one he took from the victim. Bah was arrested and taken to custody, and …

What Burning Man’s Gen Z problem says about the festival

What Burning Man’s Gen Z problem says about the festival

The first time Samantha R. went to Burning Man, it was on a whim. She hadn’t read much about it and had no idea what to expect. She received a free ticket from someone she met at a Grateful Dead event and had little time to prepare. She didn’t bring goggles or even a big coat to survive the cold, dusty nights. Despite the spontaneity and haphazardness of it all, which contributed to a rough burn, the 22-year-old returned on two more occasions —  including this year.  “Burning Man still gives me some of the most joyous days out of my year,” she told Salon. “As someone who likes to be clean, the playa looks like my personal hell,” Melissa said. “All that dust seems like a recipe for a UTI.” But according to the most recent Burning Man census, Samantha is an anomaly. Only an estimated 10% of the festival’s participants are between the ages of 20 and 29, a demographic that has been on the decline at the festival since 2015. In 2014, …

An Illegal Migrant Tried To Saw Off A Man’s Head; You Won’t Believe What The BBC Did Next…

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News, A leaked internal email shows a senior BBC executive reaching for the language of “solidarity” after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged with trying to brutally murder a Northern Irish man in the street. The corporation’s instinct was not to dwell on the victim, but instead to soothe colleagues “who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries.” A local man is carved up on a Belfast pavement, unrest follows, and the state broadcaster act as if the real emergency is that imported staff might feel “particularly vulnerable.” Investigative journalist Steven Edginton published the leak on Friday. Jack Whyte, the BBC’s Chief Technology Officer, wrote to staff after the backlash that followed the attack on Stephen Ogilvie. Whyte said he wanted to “express our solidarity with colleagues who may feel particularly vulnerable or fearful at this time, including those who have come to Northern Ireland and the UK from other countries.” Leak: BBC boss sent a message of “solidarity” to non-British staff after an African …

Burning Man’s ‘Orgy Dome’ is back for 2026 — here are the rules

Get the inside track from Roisin O’Connor with our free weekly music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Burning Man returns to the Nevada desert this weekend, along with the festival’s infamous “Orgy Dome.” The week long arts festival is set to begin Sunday in the Black Rock Desert, and will run until the following weekend. Last year’s event was hit by severe dust storms and 50mph winds that destroyed much of the site, including the geodesic dome filled with mattresses and pillows where revelers are invited to explore their sexuality. As SF Gate reports, the organization behind the dome, And Then There’s Only Love, have since run a number of GoFundMe campaigns which have raised a total of nearly $70,000 to repair and renew the dome. Attendees at the space have to follow various rules and regulations, including showing ID upon entry to confirm that everyone is over the age of 18. Revelers take in the monumental art at Burning …

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on Wonder Man’s Cancellation

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II on Wonder Man’s Cancellation

In July, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II was on a set, hanging out at craft services, snacking on some cranberry applesauce, when he got a text message from his publicist: “Congratulations on your second Emmy nomination.” Abdul-Mateen was shocked. Though his show Wonder Man was well reviewed, it wasn’t exactly considered an Emmy frontrunner. And so Abdul-Mateen hadn’t even been aware that nominations were happening that day. “It wasn’t on my radar,” he tells Little Gold Men. “I wasn’t checking in the same way that I was the first time, and that has really allowed me to have a beautiful experience with this whole thing, because I experienced it as a gift.” On the Disney+ Marvel show, Abdul-Mateen played Simon Williams, an aspiring actor who desperately wants to star in a remake of the film Wonder Man. He also happens to have superpowers, which he has to keep under wraps if he wants to work as an actor. The part meant a lot to Abdul-Mateen. “I did that job for all of the right reasons, the reasons …

‘We’re a Malay troupe, you okay or not?’ How lion dance became this man’s lifelong pursuit

‘We’re a Malay troupe, you okay or not?’ How lion dance became this man’s lifelong pursuit

About half of Mr Jamsairi’s 10 children have been part of Kuo Chuan Arts & Cultural at some point. One daughter, Natasha, 27, now a teacher, helps him with paperwork in Chinese, which is a second language she took in school.  One son, Jashairie, better known as Ayie, has begun to lead the troupe in recent years. The 22-year-old oversees training and choreography, and even orders customised costumes for the troupe from China. “He is the main character now,” Mr Jamsairi said, glowing with pride. At the training I saw, Mr Jashairie drilled two members through a tricky sequence involving two wooden benches again and again. He gave strict instructions on the timing, the footwork, the precise movements of the lion head.  After a few failed attempts, Mr Jashairie and his older brother stepped in to demonstrate the manoeuvre. They executed it perfectly on the first go. Having grown up with the troupe since the age of four, lion dance is “very close” to Mr Jashairie’s heart. But it has been an eye-opening experience learning to manage …
