38 Bold Tweets That Hit A Nerve For A Lot Of People (New Pics)

You know the feeling when the news won't just stop, and at some point it all starts to feel exhausting, and repetitive. Luckily, the Internet always manages to come to the rescue.

We are talking about sarcasm, memes and those brutally honest posts that, let's be honest, are basically why most of us spend time online anyway.

And what better place to get your daily dose of humor than the'White People Twitter'subreddit, where the internet's collective mood is on full display in real time?

Don't worry, the screenshots posted here are less about race itself, and more about a cultural tone – witty, self-aware potshots at politicians, the rich and the privileged, as well as the absurd posts they post on Twitter (sorry, X) and BlueSky.

Sarcasm and internet memes seem to be the most common form of humor in political content, because sometimes laughing at the chaos is the only way to make sense of it all.

Terry Hanley, Professor of Counselling Psychology at The University of Manchester, says that satirical content resonates more with people because it simplifies complex situations into something "emotionally immediate."

"Humor lets people share opinions, frustration, or disbelief in ways that feel accessible and relatable. Online communities help people make sense of what's happening in the world together," he tellsBored Panda.

Political memes often come with their fair share of controversies, and this community is no exception.

Earlier this year, the subreddit wasbannedfor 72 hours after some of the comments and posts angered Elon Musk.

The official notice on Reddit explained the ban was due to "a prevalence of violent content," and added that "debate and dissent are welcome on Reddit - threats and doxing are not."

The comments in question were allegedly calling for violence against some political officials.

The controversy gained more traction after Musk had a public outburst on his own platform, X, saying that the online community broke the law.

Ever since the controversy, the community has become stricter, closely moderating comments and posts. They even pinned a PSA that reads: "Due to the recent climate in the US, reddit is interpreting these rules strictly."

Ironically, the controversy helped more people discover the community.

And how did Reddit users react to all this drama? With plenty of jokes, sarcasm and memes, of course.

But even in these communities, humor can easily drift into hostility if the norms are not clear.

Following the controversy, the subreddit's new rule states: "Do not post gifs that are or can be interpreted as being violent in nature, for example of guillotines."

Professor Hanley says what resonates most online is not always what is most accurate — it is often what feels "emotionally satisfying" in the moment.

"When people feel confused, angry, or overwhelmed, a sharp joke can feel clarifying and relieving. But that same simplicity can also flatten nuance, reinforce existing beliefs, or reward outrage over understanding," he adds.

That is why moderation decisions often need to tread the delicate line between user rights with community safety.

"When these ecosystems are well connected and well moderated, online communities can be a genuinely helpful part of how people cope and learn," the professor notes.

At the same time, humor can also be used to soften the online dialogue in general. Funny content can diffuse tension and anger, something which is all too common on social media platforms.

It gives people a much-needed breather from the typical comment wars and heated debates.

"Reddit communities can offer both information and emotional support, particularly for people who may feel isolated or overwhelmed," Professor Hanley believes.

He says these groups are part of wider ecosystems of support and learning, alongside journalism, education, professional services, and offline relationships.

Studiesalso show that humor mixed with politics somehow manages to grab our attention and makes all the messy, confusing political stories easier to understand.

"We often hear a lot about the downsides of being online, but these spaces are also where many people now get news, support, and a sense of connection. Used well, they can help people cope and feel understood — but they work best when paired with critical thinking and good moderation," Professor Hanley adds.

It is no wonder then that these spaces feel more united — after all, laughter really is contagious.

Major fire breaks out at historic church in Amsterdam

A church on the outskirts ofAmsterdam'sfamous Vondelpark went up in flames on Thursday morning, causing the church tower to collapse.

The major fire, which started shortly after midnight, has been declared a regional emergency and several dozen homes have been evacuated. All surrounding streets, close to the historic Vondelkerk church, have been closed off.

Videos circulating on social media show dramatic flames engulfing the spire.

The 154-year-old church "cannot be saved" and "the entire church may collapse", a spokesperson for the Amsterdam-Amstelland Safety Region said.

As of 2.30am the fire remained unabated and a national alert was issued warning locals of heavy smoke. Emergency services remain at the scene and are attempting to extinguish the fire using water from the adjacent Vondelpark. Firefighters are unable to enter the building due to the risk of collapse.

"It's a very large, historic building. There's a lot of wood, and the wind also allows the fire to spread easily and widely," the spokesperson told ANP. "The church's characteristic appearance has been lost. [It's a] terribly bad and dramatic start to the new year."

"This is a very intense and terrible fire in this monumental church," said Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema. "Our first concern and priority now is the well-being and homes of the immediate residents."

The church, located in the centre of the city, close to Leidseplein – Holland's most famous nightlife district – dates back to 1872. It is a short walk from the popular Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Several killed in fire at new year’s party in Swiss ski resort, police say

Several people have been killed and others injured in afire at a new year's partyat an Alpine ski resort in southern Switzerland, a police spokesperson said Thursday.

Gaetan Lathion, spokesperson for police in the canton of Valais, said the "fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. at Le Constellation lounge bar in Crans-Montana." He said about 100 people were inside the venue at the time.

"There are several injuries and several fatalities."

Large crews from the emergency services immediately responded and rushed to the scene. Rescue efforts are still ongoing and the area has been closed off with a no-fly zone in place over Crans-Montana, police said.

Officers confirmed the fire started inside the lounge bar but said the cause remains unknown. They did not give an exact figure for those killed and injured in the fire, which struck in an area known for high-end holiday resorts.

A press conference will be held with police and the regional public prosecutor at around 10 a.m. (4 a.m. ET).

One of Switzerland's most exclusive locales, Crans-Montana is famed for its year-round sunshine, which it owes to its position on a south-facing plateau in the Rhone Valley.

The area – 1,500 meters above sea level – offers sweeping Alpine vistas stretching from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc, one of Europe's highest peaks.

Tourists are drawn by its understated glamor, with high-end shopping and fine dining as well as extensive ski slopes and a lively apres-ski scene.

With a small population of around 15,000, the area is said to have a close-knit community as well as being a low-key place for celebrities to go skiing, golfing and dining.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

How to watch the 2026 Rose Parade, expected to be the first wet one in 20 years

Rain won't stop proceedings as the Tournament of Roses forges ahead with the New Year's Day tradition Thursday — its first wet parade in two decades.

The annual presentation of flora is celebrating its 137th year with a twist: the first rainy day since the 2006 parade. Forecasts for Pasadena, California, for Thursday morning show periods of rain, though it may to clear up by the time of the Rose Bowl game in the afternoon.

The wet weather could affect the attendance at the Rose Parade, which normally draws hundreds of thousands of people along the 5.5-mile route. It has rained on the parade only 10 times in its long history, Pasadena spokesperson Lisa Derderiantold NBC Los Angeles.

"It was coming down pretty good. I was sitting out there myself," Derderian said of the 2006 parade. "And you know, these die-hard fans are there. They want to see the parade. They're there. Often, it's a tradition."

The event draws important foot traffic for business owners, who told NBC Los Angeles that customers on the day of the parade help boost sales for the entire first week of the year.

This year'sparade theme is "The Magic in Teamwork.""The theme celebrates the sense of accomplishment in knowing that by working together, we can collectively achieve outcomes so much richer than we can ever experience as individuals," according to the parade website.

Former Los Angeles Lakers star Earvin "Magic" Johnson will serve as the parade's grand marshal.

What is theTournament of Roses?

The Tournament of Roses, commonly known as the Rose Parade, began in 1890 as an event put together by an elite social organization for wealthy Pasadena families called the Valley Hunt Club. It's meant to highlight the area's mild weather compared with the cold and gray East Coast winters.

Charles Holder, who hadmoved to Pasadena from Massachusetts, remarked at a club meeting, "In New York, people are buried in snow."

"Here our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear," he said,according to the parade's website. "Let's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise."

Today, the event draws millions of eyeballs between its in-person attendance and those who watch it on television. There are beautiful floats adorned with bright floral arrangements, as well as marching bands and celebrity performances.

Who will perform?

Singers Kiesza and Aloe Blacc will kick off the festivities with what organizers promise will be a "high-energy spectacle." There will be a synchronized light show featuring pyrotechnics and "extreme stunts," according to the show's website.

Spectators can expect performances throughout the parade from artists Timothy Wayne, Chapel Hart and Brandon Bennett.

Musician Betty Who will close out the show with Debbie Gibson in a duet designed to evoke 1980s nostalgia with Who's cover of Donna Lewis' "I Love You Always Forever" and Gibson's own "Electric Youth." They'll be joined by students from the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.

Where and when to watch

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT on New Year's Day.

Viewers who want to watch at home can tune into the national ABC, NBC, CNN and Fox network channels. The parade will also host its own livestream, in addition to streaming on platforms such as Pluto TV, FanDuel Sports Network and Fubo Sports Network.

The Rose Bowl will take place at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT and will feature the Indiana University Hoosiers taking on the University of Alabama Crimson Tide. College football fans can watch that on ESPN.

Viral '6-7' tops 2025 list of overused words and phrases

Respondents to an annual Michigan college survey of overused and misused words and phrases say "6-7" is "cooked" and should come to a massive full-stop heading into the new year.

Those are among the top 10 words on the 50th annual "Banished Words List," released Thursday by Lake Superior State University. The tongue-in-cheek roundup of overused slang started in 1976 as a New Year's Eve party idea, and is affectionately called the list of "Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness."

Around 1,400 submissions came from all 50 states and a number of countries outside the U.S., including Uzbekistan, Brazil and Japan, according to Lake Superior State.

Also in the top 10 are "demure," "incentivize," "perfect," "gift/gifted," "my bad" and "reach out." "My bad" and "reach out" also made the list decades ago — in 1998 and 1994, respectively.

"The list definitely represents the fad and vernacular trends of the younger generation," said David Travis, Lake Superior State University president. "Social media allows a greater opportunity to misunderstand or misuse words. We're using terms that are shared through texting, primarily, or through posting with no body language or tone context. It's very easy to misunderstand these words."

Few phrases in 2025befuddled parents, teachers and others over the age of, say 40, more than "6-7." Dictionary.com even picked it as their2025 word of the year, while other dictionaries chosewords like "slop"and "rage bait."

But what does "6-7" actually mean? It exploded over the summer, especially among Gen Z, and is considered by many to be nonsensical in meaning — an inside joke driven by social media.

"Don't worry, because we're all still trying to figure out exactly what it means," the dictionary's editors wrote.

Each number can be spoken aloud as "six, seven." They even can be combined as the number 67; atcollege basketball games, some fans explode when a team reaches that point total.

The placement of "6-7" at the top of the banished list puts it in good company. In 2019, thecenturies-old Latin phrase "quid pro quo"was the top requested phrase to ban from popular use. In 2017, "fake news" got the most votes.

Alana Bobbitt, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, is unapologetic about using "6-7."

"I find joy in it," Bobbitt said. "It's a little bit silly, and even though I don't understand what it means, it's fun to use."

Jalen Brezzell says a small group of his friends use "6-7" and that it comes up a couple of times each week. But he won't utter it.

"Never. I don't really get the joke," said Brezzell, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. "I don't see what's funny about it."

But banning it, even in jest, might be a bit of a stretch, he said, adding that he does use other words and phrases on the list.

"I've always used the word 'cooked,'" Brezzell said. "I just think it got popular on the internet over this past year. It's saying, like, 'give it up, it's over.'"

Some of the phrases do have longevity, Travis said.

"I don't think they'll ever go away, like 'at the end of the day,'" he said. "I used 'my bad' today. I feel comfortable using it. I started using it when I was young. A lot of us older people are still using it."

Travis said that while some terms on the list "will stick around in perpetuity," others will be fleeting.

"I think '6-7,' next year, will be gone," he said.
