Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Stay ahead of the curve with our weekly guide to the latest trends, fashion, relationships and more Designer handbag, fourth holiday of the year, new house, lavish wedding: these unsubtle wealth flexes are foisted on the average social media user the moment they thumb their timelines. From TikTok to Instagram, both big influencers and everyman profiles are using their digital footprint to create an illusion of wealth that looks wildly out of place given the current economic chaos. Thanks to the rising cost of literally everything from food to fuel, almost half of Britons have less than £25 in spare cash at the end of each week, research has found, with two-thirds cutting back on essentials like food and heating. Yet, on the internet, life is lived lavishly – and studies have shown this delusion could be making our financial reality …

Rare protests erupt in China after dog abuse videos spark online anger

Rare protests erupt in China after dog abuse videos spark online anger

The allegations have triggered widespread anger online as well as among residents in Chongqing. According to a report by Hong Kong news outlet HK01, hundreds gathered in Jiangbei district last Sunday. Many held signs accusing Li of animal cruelty and adoption fraud while others called on authorities to introduce dedicated animal protection legislation. Animal activists said local residents wanted authorities to rescue any remaining animals believed to be in Li’s home and prevent similar adoption scams from occurring. In its statement, local authorities said the matter would be handled “according to the law” – based on the outcome of investigations. Officials also urged members of the public to report any information relating to suspected illegal activities. The public reaction comes amid heightened concern over animal welfare issues in China. Earlier this year, the alleged theft and killing of an eight-year-old Border Collie named Chutou in Henan province sparked widespread outrage and renewed calls for tougher penalties against animal abusers.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly When Parents Sharent Online

The Good, Bad, and Ugly When Parents Sharent Online

Recently, someone I know lost their phone, which stored all their photos of their two young children. She was clearly upset about this. A couple of weeks later, she declared: “Thank goodness for Facebook!” She was elated to retrieve some of the lost pictures from her Facebook photo library. She was even more pleased that she had been an avid sharer of pictures of her kids. Basically, she had been busy engaging in sharenting, and she was all in favour of it. Sharenting is a term combining sharing and parenting and refers to parents who share photos, videos, and general information about their children online. It is not uncommon, as in the above example, and it has been suggested that most parents in the U.S. have engaged in sharenting. One estimate shows that parents share around 1500 pictures of their child on social media before the child reaches age 5. Many parents use sharenting to connect with others, such as family or online parenting groups. Perhaps to seek out advice or social support when they …

why things get taken out of context online and why it matters

why things get taken out of context online and why it matters

You are scrolling through your feed when a screenshot appears showing a public figure saying something surprising or controversial. Within minutes, it is everywhere. Some are angry, others defend it, memes parody it, and arguments spread across platforms. Later, you discover the person never quite said that exact quote. The words came from a longer interview, the clip was shortened or an incorrect caption was added. But the screenshot has travelled faster and further than the original video ever did. What people reacted to was a version of the message created through circulation, rather than the message as originally delivered. Sound familiar? This pattern can be seen across nearly every viral moment, from political speeches to celebrity interviews. Research in media and communication studies has long shown that meaning rarely remains fixed once a message enters circulation. My work examines how these small shifts accumulate as messages move through digital environments. I describe this process as “message drift”, where content becomes separated from its original context as it is clipped, reposted and reframed across digital …

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show models say every body is a target online

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show models say every body is a target online

Since 2021, Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Runway Show has aimed to include “women of all sizes, ages and races” in its showcase of summer styles. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. But for some models, this year’s event — streaming Tuesday on Hulu and Disney+ — highlighted a less glamorous reality: Women still can’t escape criticism of their bodies, even on a runway designed to celebrate them. “I feel like for so long I was so afraid to talk about my body, my weight loss surgery, anything relating to health … because I’ve become so afraid of what people say online or think of me,” influencer Remi Bader said in a recent Instagram video, responding to a wave of negative comments about her Sports Illustrated runway look. “At this point, I can’t win.” While celebrities are hardly immune to scrutiny, the recent online discourse around bodies has grown more fraught as culture has shifted away from the body-positivity movement that dominated the 2010s. The change coincides with …

Richard Nixon Instagram: Watergate President Gets Social Media Makeover

Richard Nixon Instagram: Watergate President Gets Social Media Makeover

The account’s 106,000 followers don’t seem to notice—or care. In fact, the Foundation’s videos have seemingly inspired a new slew of pro-Nixon accounts. One, called simply “Nixon_fanaccount,” started in May. One of their posts is solely dedicated to celebrating how the Nixon Foundation Instagram acknowledged them once. Another, “kawaii_richard_nixon,” posts cutesy Japanese-style edits of Nixon with blushing cheeks, cat ears, and a headband of pink hearts. But the edits don’t just appeal to the chronically online. Monica Crowley, the chief of protocol of the United States, has commented “BADASS” and “Always Nixonmaxxing,” on the edits. Crowley is in charge of managing official diplomatic functions, ceremonies, and state visits for the White House. On one edit, captioned, “Nixon. Now More Than Ever,” she wrote: “Goes hard.” In the end, Nixon resigned in disgrace. Bettmann The Foundation appears to at least tacitly go along with this popular rebrand. Tim Naftali, who served as the first federal director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, says that the Foundation has long embraced a conspiratorial view of Watergate, but it’s …
