Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia are just two of the many celebs who made a decision to leave the States following Trump’s win of the 2024 presidential elections.

Unsatisfied with his politics and the position he has put the country in, Ellen and Portia made a decision to settle in the south of England. They bought an $18 million property in the Cotswolds region.

After selling their six-bathroom California property for $29.9 million in January, they took jet another step to cut further ties with America. Namely, the couple have also listed their two-bedroom bungalow, which is also located in Montesito, California, according to People.

The bungalow is near the beloved Butterfly Beach.

According to a representative from Riskin Partners Estate Group, the couple received “multiple offers within two days of hitting the market” and eventually sold the property for $5.2 million, the publication reported.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia’s stay in the countryside in England hasn’t been smooth.

A source told the Daily Mail, “Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into.

“First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property.”

They continued: “So the upshot seems to have been that they started to have a look around and then this property came up.

“They looked at it several times. And they liked it more each time they looked.

“So it does look like it’s happening. They’ve been seen around there several times in recent weeks and have even had interactions with neighbors.”

The couple search for a property that resembles more of their place in California, offering the comfort they are used to.

Words you should never google, according to those who have

The Internet is an endless source of information. While we once had to visit a library in pursuit of knowledge, now everything we need to know is at our fingertips.

However, while the online world offers all kind of data and entertainment, there are also things that can disturb us.

Below is a highlight of some online search regrets people have shared, warning you of the words you should never google.

Beware the Larvae

A Redditor shared that instead of typing “moth larva,” he wrote “mouth larva” instead and was left in shock by the results. Of course, what he hoped for was to see a moth in the infant stage, but ended up looking at horrifying photos of parasites hatching inside living beings, including humans.

These parasites that live inside the creature’s mouth cause infection known as “oral myiasis.”

Jiggers

While most of us know that jigger refers to an hourglass-shaped tool bartenders use to pour shots, the phrase jigger flea, which can easily appear while searching the former, is a terrifying insect that burrows into the skin and lays eggs. They cause severe discomfort and health issues if not treated properly. Trust us, the images of people affected by these fleas are beyond disturbing.

Brazilian Girls

The band Brazilian Girls should definitely add another word to their name if they want fans to find them easily on the search platforms. The reason why? Googling the term “Brazilian Girls” will leave you with a bunch of tutorials on waxing, and naked girls… a lot of them!

Degloving

Degloving may sound like something related to gloves, but it’s definitely one of the words you should never google. The reason why is because degloving is when a large piece of the skin along with the layer of soft tissue right under it is partially or completely ripped from your muscles and connecting tissues, as explained by WebMD.

The graphic results by a simple Google search are hard to unsee.

Fournier

A person on Reddit advised social media users not to google the NBA star Evan Fournier, jokingly adding that his nickname should be Never Google. It turns out that if you search “Fournier,” results of a highly disturbing condition known as Fournier’s gangrene appears. It is a severe necrotizing fasciitis affecting the genitals and perineum.

Expert reveals intriguing reason why the psychologist in Adolescence gives Jamie only half a sandwich

By

Netflix’s Adolescence, a raw crime drama, has become one of the most popular series of 2025.

The series, which has been praised as one of the finest TV series in recent time, getting impressive 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, shows Owen Cooper making his acting debut in the role of 13-year-old Jamie who is arrested on suspicion of murdering a classmate, Katie.

Episode three gave viewers a glimpse of Jamie’s mind when he was visited by a psychologist, Briony, played by Erin Doherty.

When she met him at the young offenders facility, she offered him a hot chocolate with marshmallows and a half sandwich with pickles, despite he saying he disliked pickles.

Netflix

This detail, that seemed tiny, caught the attention of many, raising plenty of questions.

“I’m so stuck on the pickle sandwich! I know he was obviously losing his composure. But at the beginning he said he hated pickles. And then he loses his fake composure has a couple tantrums. Tries to intimidate and then just sits down and eats the pickle sandwich!” One person wrote on Reddit.

Another added: “Why did the psychologist on Adolescence make that disgusting cheese and pickle sandwich?”

It turns out it wasn’t just a random choice or pick of food but there was a reason behind it.

Speaking to Tyla, Psychologist Dannielle Haig explained that Briony was trying to test his personality from the way he would react to the gesture.

Netflix

“The half-sandwich, particularly the fact that it contains something Jamie dislikes, could be a way of testing his response,” Dannielle tells Tyla.

“Does he push it away? Does he eat it to be polite, does he comment on it? These reactions provide insight into his personality. If he simply tolerates it without complaint, it may suggest a history of feeling powerless and being accustomed to having things done to him rather than for him.

“If he refuses it outright, it might indicate defiance or a need to exert control in a situation where he has very little power.”

Netflix

“It’s a clever way of gauging how Jamie sees himself in relation to authority figures and whether he feels able to assert his own needs.”

She also addressed the hot chocolate with marshmallows, saying the psychologist tried to create a sense of ease and familiarity since this drink if often associated with “warmth, safety, and childhood, a stark contrast to the harsh reality of Jamie’s situation.”

Adolescence addresses relevant issues such as misogyny, ‘incels’, the online ‘manosphere’, and toxic masculinity.

Viewers praise it for both the portrayal and the treatment of these issues.

Stephen Graham, who plays Jamie’s father, created the series with director Philip Barantini and writer Jack Thorne after seeing two separate reports of young boys stabbing girls to death. During an appearance on BBC’s The One Show, he said, “I just thought, what’s going on in society where this kind of thing is becoming a regular occurrence?

“I just couldn’t fathom it. So I wanted to really have a look and try and shine a light on this particular thing.”

All episodes are streaming now on Netflix.

Two Republicans turn against Trump as Senate votes 52-46

By
Monica Pop

The Senate confirmed Kelly Loeffler, a former senator and a business executive, to lead the Small Business Administration. The voting concluded with 52 in favor and 46 against.

Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen joined 51 Republicans in support, while Republican Sens. Jerry Moran of Kansas and Dan Sullivan of Alaska did not take part in the voting.

The opposition of 46 Democrats to Loeffler’s confirmation reflects the strong ideological disagreement on government spending, small business policy, and federal reform.

Senators Moran and Sullivan abstaining from voting instead of opposing her nomination raises speculations about the GOP divisions over Loeffler’s record and the SBA’s future.

Loeffler’s nomination came during a period of economic uncertainty and growing calls for better efficiency and accountability in government spending.

AP

A number of Democrats and progressive commentators believe that Loeffler’s alignment with Trump-era policies may not benefit small businesses or the public. Also, they see her confirmation as a setback for social safety nets and fair government spending.

Loeffler, whose husband serves as CEO of Intercontinental Exchange and is the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, promised to help the president start a “golden era of prosperity and growth” by “ending inflation, cutting taxes, unleashing American energy dominance, slashing regulation, and reining in fraud, waste, and abuse across government.”

Before her confirmation, Loeffler pledged to donate more than $200,000 of her annual salary as Small Business Administration administrator to charity if confirmed.

She claimed she did the same while serving the Senate between 2019 and 2021.

Taking to Truth Social, President Trump said of Loeffler’s nomination, “Small Businesses are the backbone of our Great Economy. Kelly will bring her experience in business and Washington to reduce red tape, and unleash opportunity for our Small Businesses to grow, innovate, and thrive. She will focus on ensuring that SBA is accountable to Taxpayers by cracking down on waste, fraud, and regulatory overreach.”

Senate Small Business Committee Chair Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) also praised Loeffler’s credentials, highlighting her “zero-tolerance policy for waste, fraud, and abuse” and commitment to ensuring SBA resources are used efficiently. “As a successful businesswoman, it is abundantly clear that Senator Loeffler truly understands what it takes to be an entrepreneur and will be an effective voice for small businesses across America,” Ernst said.

Elon Musk’s estranged daughter shares a heartbreaking revelation about her siblings while discussing her father

Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of tech-billionaire Elon Musk, opened up about her estranged father and her siblings, whom she claims doesn’t know the exact number of.

In fact, Musk is now a father of 14 children, with author Ashlie St. Clair posting in December 2024 that she had given birth to Musk’s son.

At the moment, the two are at court, with Clair asking for a full custody of the baby that goes by the name R.S.C.

Vivian Jenna Wilson was born while Musk and her mother, Justine Wilson, were married.

Instagram@vivllainous

The ex-couple welcomed six children, including Vivian. Their firstborn, Nevada Alexander Musk, was born in 2002 but passed away at 10 weeks old from SIDS.

Speaking with Teen Vogue, Vivian Jenna Wilson spoke of her father and said she isn’t scared of him just because he’s rich. “He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has.

She added: “I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.”

The interviewer then alluded to her many siblings to what Vivian replied, “Well, I have four of them. I’m tied for oldest. But when we fought, it wasn’t really with words. There was a lot of… I have four siblings. We’re going to leave it at that, honey.”

She then added that she has no idea how many siblings she has, referring to her half-siblings.

“That’s just a fun fact. It’s really good for two truths and a lie. I found out about the Shivon Zilis thing the same time everyone else did. I had no idea before that.”

Shivon Zills, an executive of Musk’s company Neuralink, announced in 2024 that she and Musk welcomed their fourth child together.

“I found out about Grimes having a second child because a drag queen posted about it on Reddit. For a time, me and Grimes were not really in communication because I wasn’t in communication with anyone in that family, which still holds true.”

Vivian even joked that if she had a nickel every time she learned she had a sibling through Reddit, she’d have two nickels. This is because she claimed she also learned of Ashley St. Clair child through the social media.

“I don’t keep up with that side of the family because… I don’t. My mom doesn’t really either. She’s divorced, werk.

“So yeah. I don’t really give a f**k what they do. This is not my problem, okay? I’ve seen X once, when he was very little,” Vivian concluded.

Pushing Barron Trump into politics is unfair

By
Monica Pop
-

Whether you like him or not, the truth is that Donald Trump, the business mogul-turned-president, has changed American politics.

However, it isn’t just him who has been under the spotlight because of his position of a leader of the country, but his family too. During the campaign preceding his first presidency, the public could see all of his children supporting him publicly and being heavily involved in his candidacy efforts. This time, it wasn’t any different, although some of his children, including Ivanka, didn’t have an active role in the campaign.

AP

Now that his youngest son, Barron Trump, isn’t a child any longer, many believe that his father is trying to push him into politics.

This is also something the MAGA supporters are hoping for.

The question that arises is, however, if that’s what the young Trump really wants.

During his father’s inauguration, Barron was spotted shaking hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and many agreed that he’s a well-behaved young man who seemed to be enjoying the presence of all the politicians and influential figures.

If he choses to follow into his father’s footsteps, he will certainly not be the only son of a president who has embarked on a journey in politics.

However, putting pressure on young Barron Trump to become a politician would only add to the expectations people have of him – If he does enter politics but doesn’t become president, he might still be seen as less successful than his father, or even a failure in some people’s eyes.

Barron has just started attending university.

He’s pursuing business at the Stern Business School at New York University.

Being the son of a famous name in the world of business and politics, Barron has lived in the shadow of his father, just like his siblings, so whether or not he chooses a career in politics should remain his personal choice.

Baby dies after being attacked by a family member’s dog

By
Monica Pop
-

Ember Renee Southard died in the worst way imaginable. She was only 6 months old and didn’t even get to learn how to speak or walk before a tragedy struck and cut her life short.

Baby Ember was attacked by a family member’s dog.

The dog owner was supposed to look after her while her mother was taking her grandmother’s to a doctor’s appointment.

The tragic incident occurred in Shelby County, on March 14, at around 10 a.m.

Ember’s mom, Anna, was planning to take her daughter with, but the family member told her they would take care of the little girl.

However, around less than 20 minutes later, Anna, who hadn’t even checked in at the doctor’s office, received a frantic call.

When she returned to the family member’s home, just after the ambulance had arrived, Anna noticed her daughter who appeared lifeless.

She fell to her knees in the driveway and learned her baby was attacked by the family member’s dog, an 11-year-old American Bully, a dog that has been around children plenty of times before and never hurt anyone until then.

GoFundMe

Ember was rushed to the hospital, and Anna prayed she survives, although all her hopes were shattered the moment she saw her daughter’s blue, unmoving body.

The little girl was taken to the operating room, and despite doctors’ attempt to save her, Ember passed away at 1:10.

At the time being, no arrests have been made.

The police revealed that at the time of the attack, there were two dogs in the home of the family member where Ember was staying. Both animals have been taken into a 10-day animal quarantine by animal control.

Speaking to WLFA, Anna revealed that the family member had fallen asleep with Ember in her embrace, but then the girl slipped off and the dog mauled her.

At the time Ember was taken to the hospital, the family member, who suffers from epilepsy, had a seizure.

My daughter was so sweet,” Anna recalled. “She had the sweetest smile, the cutest squeal. Ember was such a joy. Such a good baby. She always had a little smile and big beautiful eyes. She hated to be cold or wet. I can’t even describe the feeling of cleaning the blood off my daughter, of wrapping her body in warm blankets so that she wouldn’t be cold. Only me and my grandparents saw her first after she passed. I didn’t allow anyone else to see her until she was as clean and warm as she could be.”

GoFundMe

“Ember’s nickname was Noodle. Because as a newborn, she had little noodly toes, and the name just stuck. A wittle noodle. A perfect noodle. She was loved by so many people. Ember was an expert at smiling at you before spitting up on you. She had the sweetest voice. She had just learned how to roll over. There wasn’t a soul that met her that didn’t absolutely love her. She had wild blonde/red hair and big bright eyes. There was never a more perfect baby than my noodle.”

The devastated mom said she won’t be pressing charges.

However, she won’t ever forgive the family member for falling asleep while they needed to take care of her daughter.

“My daughter is gone forever because they couldn’t follow a simple [expletive] rule. I follow safe sleep rules to the letter, and I never allow my children around dogs like that. Always supervised with me holding them. I don’t believe charges should be continued, and I will not be actively pressing them. I think the punishment of knowing what their neglect did to my daughter will haunt them for the rest of their life, as it should. It was an accident. An avoidable accident, is still an accident.”

Anna urges parents not to take a risk and keep dogs away from infants so that a tragedy like this won’t happen to any other child ever again.

We are so very sorry for this loss.

Chaos in the skies: Heathrow Airport closes due massive fire

By

-

Heathrow Airport in London, one of the greatest in the world, has been shut down following a devastating fire at the electrical substation supplying its power, triggering power outages. This caused chaos in the travel industry and affected hundreds of thousands of passengers.

According to authorities, the airport will remain closed at least for one day.

The London bound flights have been diverted to Amsterdam, Paris and Ireland.

”Due to a fire at an electrical substation supplying the airport, Heathrow is experiencing a significant power outage. To maintain the safety of our passengers and colleagues, Heathrow will be closed until 23h59 on 21 March. Passengers are advised not to travel to the airport and should contact their airline for further information. We apologise for the inconvenience,” Heathrow Airport posted on their official X account.

Flight disruptions are expected to last for a couple of days.

The airport itself hasn’t been affected by the blaze. The National Grid facility, where the blaze started after a transformer containing 25,000 litres of cooling fluid caught on fire, is around two kilometers (1.2 miles) away from the airport.

According to Mirror, the London Fire Brigade received 212 calls from people reporting the fire. They engaged 70 firefighters to contain the blaze.

”This was a very visible and significant incident, and our firefighters worked tirelessly in challenging conditions to bring the fire under control as swiftly as possible,” assistant commissioner Pat Goulbourne said.

Heathrow Airport officials states that the airport has a backup power system in place but its activation takes time. As per the BBC, the back up systems “all operated as expected” when the power outage happened but they are not enough to run the whole airport.

In January only, Heathrow Airport broke the record by welcoming over 6.3 million passengers, which is 5% more compared to the same period last year.

Besides the flight disruptions, rail services to and from Heathrow have also been canceled for Friday, the National Rail reports.

At the time being, authorities are investigating how the fire started, with the counter terrorism police looking into possible sabotage.
