A woman whose pregnancy looks have consumed the Internet for the better part of nine months has finally given birth. It was a day of joy for the happy couple and also a day of bittersweet memories for netizens: like the newborn infant, they, too, screamed in agony due to losing a steady source of fashion inspo.

Govt Man Chaperones Celebs at International Film Festival, Leaving Actual Job Behind
A man who singlehandedly turned most mainstream cinema into propaganda is spending his month lurking in celebrity selfies at a prestigious film festival abroad. Presumably there to take credit for things he didn’t do, he left behind his actual day job of spreading misinformation and broadcasting hate.
