Ever heard a popular TikToker wax poetic about who they're voting for? They might be getting paid…and not disclosing by whom. Kyle Tharp, author of the Chaotic Era newsletter, joins Offline to discuss the emergence of pay-for-play political influencers and whether Democrats have made any progress in figuring out the internet. He and Jon talk about the decline of Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire, the new success of legacy media on TikTok, and the intense grassroots anger around data centers.
An influencer just got hit with a $110 cake-cutting fee at a fancy Beverly Hills rooftop spot -- yeah this food TikToker @justinelovesushi brought her own birthday cake to Poza at L'Ermitage, asked staff to slice and serve it for her group of 11, and boom, $10 per person tacked on the bill like some hidden corkage scam nobody bothered to mention upfront. The receipt went mega-viral, the internet lost its mind calling it peak out-of-touch LA nonsense, and the restaurant immediately folded -- full refund, apology for the "miscommunication," and they even slashed the policy to $5 a head going forward -- because nothing screams premium dining like charging you for the privilege of not eating their dessert.

A recent Times of London article found that younger generations are more likely to employ someone to keep their home tidy and scrub the oven, due to ‘cleanfluencers' raising the standards people have for the perfect home…Joining Shane and Ciara to discuss this trend is cleaning expert and TikToker, Ann Russell.
Ließen sich die zuletzt von mir rezensierten Bücher eher storyorientiert an, ging es vor allem um Effekt und Fortgang, sind wir mit Robert Seethalers “Der Trafikant” endlich wieder beim Gefühl. Wir lesen von der großen Liebe einer alleinerziehenden Mutter zu ihrem Sohn, die völlig ohne inzestiöse Gedanken daherkommt, obwohl die beiden in der tiefen Einsamkeit eines Bergdorfes am Rand der Alpen leben, der Sohn jetzt schon siebzehn Jahre zählt und die Mutter nicht unsexy daherkommt. Letzteres hilft ein bisschen, denn wir sind im Jahr 1937, und da reicht das Einkommen einer alleinstehenden Mutter in einem Dorf im Salzkammergut nie im Leben für einen Zweipersonenhaushalt, egal ob als Bäuerin oder Kellnerin im lokalen Gasthaus. In der Saison ist man auf die Zuwendungen des einen oder anderen Touristen angewiesen, im Winter ist Franzens Mutter froh, dass der Gastwirt, der reichste Mann im Dorf, ein Auge auf sie hat. Zum Glück ist er halbwegs ein Kavalier, zumindest nicht knausrig, er isst gern, trinkt dazu seine 8 Biere und 4 Schnäpse und stinken tut er auch nicht, ist er doch ein leidenschaftlicher Schwimmer im kristallklaren Bergsee, direkt vorm Haus der Kleinstfamilie. Leider isst er gern, trinkt Biere und Schnäpse und hatte, von dem bisschen Sturm, der gerade überm Dorf tobt, unbeeindruckt die Hosen runtergelassen und war mit starken Zügen bis in die Mitte des Sees geschwommen, als aus dem Un- ein Gewitter wurde und nun ist er tot, wie die Mutter ihrem Sohn berichtet, und beiden ist augenblicklich klar, dass es das war mit Franzens Kindheit, bei allen Widrigkeiten wohlbehütet wie sie war. Die Mutter habe da eine alte Bekanntschaft, ein bisschen geheimnisvoll, ein Mann auf alle Fälle, alleinstehend, der sich bereit erklärt hat, den Jungen aufzunehmen, auszubilden gar, in Wien, wo Herr Trsnjek wohnt und von Beruf ein Trafikant sei.Rein sprachlich weiß man instinktiv, dass das im deutschen Deutschen komplett unbekannte Wort “Trafikant” aus dem österreichischen kommen muss. Die zeitlich wie geographisch enorme Ausdehnung der K&K Monarchie macht das Wiener Idiom zum Paradies für die Freunde des Lehnwortes. Sorry, Paradeis, natürlich! Beim “Trafikant”, denkt man Verkehr, denkt an “traffic”, an Eisenbahnen von Reichenbach bis Sarajevo, an Dampflokomotiven, Frauen in Rock und Hut, Männer, die sich noch schnell eine Schachtel Zigarillos holen, um die Reise von Wien bis an die Adria zu überstehen, dazu eine Morgen- oder Abendausgabe, je nachdem, wann der Zug geht - und man liegt ziemlich genau richtig. Der Trafikant ist ein Zeitungs- und Tabakwarenverkäufer und zumindest zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens dieser Zeilen, habe ich regelrecht noch drei solcher Läden hier in Laufweite, auch wenn die in Ostdeutschland “Lottoabgabestellen” heißen oder einfach nur “Zeitungsladen” - nicht mehr lange, muss man fürchten.Waren die ersten siebzehn Jahre für Franz von der Liebe zu seiner Mutter und der Alpenlandschaft geprägt, ist der Umzug in das Wien von 1937 durchaus schockierend. Aber man kommt nicht umhin, dem Jungen Respekt zu zollen, er findet sich schnell rein, lernt von Otto, dem Besitzer des Ladens, das Handwerk. Das besteht neben einer Grundbildung Tabakwaren vor allem aus einer Fähigkeit: dem Zeitunglesen. Denn nur so versteht man die Kundschaft, die so vielfältig ist wie die Zeitungslandschaft in der Noch-Österreichischen-Hauptstadt.Während das Vorkriegs-Warschau des letztens hier besprochenen Buches “Der Boxer” geprägt war von tiefem Rassismus, wirtschaftlicher Ungleichheit und (daraus resultierender) extremer Gewalt, erscheint das Wien der neunzehnhundertdreißiger Jahre zivilisiert, anständig und freundlich. Als Hauptstadt eines paneuropäischen Kaiserreiches über die Jahrhunderte hinweg, ist die Gesellschaft immunisiert, denkt man, gegen die Extreme des Nationalismus, es geht einem gut, man kommt aus miteinander. Aber der Wiener Schmäh verklebt einem die Augen und die Ohren - bis wir Franz begleiten, wie er sich auf die Suche begibt nach einer ganz außerordentlich lebensfrohen Böhmin, die ihm auf dem Prater den Kopf verdreht hat und er sie schließlich in einem abgefuckten Wohnhaus findet, eine Etage über einem illegalen Schweinestall, zusammen mit dreißig anderen Tschechinnen hausend, in einer einzigen Wohnung. Bis wir den Fleischemeister aus dem Laden gegenüber des Trafikanten kennenlernen, ein grundlos neidvoller Wutbürger, der Typus, der sich acht Jahrzehnte später über die ganze Welt verbreiten sollte. Bis wir die feineren Damen der Gesellschaft im Laden über die Juden reden hören. Mit diesen Vignetten zieht uns Robert Seethaler ganz nebenbei in den Strudel des Nationalsozialismus, so wie dieser die ganze Welt in den seinen sog, damals und heute. Denn eigentlich begleiten wir Franz doch nur auf seinem Weg und Weh ins Leben, wie er so furchtbar unglücklich verliebt ist, in die Anezka, die Bier liebt und Gulasch und Tanzen und Sex aber halt nicht den Franzl, wie er selbst bald merkt, dass das nicht gut gehen wird, aber, wie das so ist mit siebzehn ist, es geht nich ohne sie, die Welt geht unter ohne sie und er einfach nicht mehr weiter weiß.Da betritt in einem wirklich unerwarteten what-the-f**k Moment Siegmund Freud die Szene: “Ja, klar, Wien, natürlich!”, schlägt man sich die Hand vor die Stirn, natürlich lebte dort Siegmund Freud und zwar gleich die Straße hoch vom Trafikanten und wie Franz lernt, ist der ein berühmter Doktor, der den Leuten den Kopf wieder richtet. Und ein Jud. Aber was es mit denen auf sich hat, war Franz noch nie so recht klar, sind doch ganz normale Leute, was haben alle nur..Was für eine Wendung, waren wir doch bisher nicht ganz klar, worum es im “Trafikanten” gehen soll. Für einen Heimatroman haben wir die Alpen zu schnell verlassen, für ein coming of age Buch gibt es zu viel Kulisse und jetzt steht da auch noch der fast neunzigjährige Freud in der Tür, beziehungsweise geht gerade raus aus ihr und Franz denkt sich, wenn der Mann so viel vom Verrücktwerden versteht, kann er ihm vielleicht helfen, denn er wird doch gerade sehr verrückt wegen seiner Liebe zu Anezka. Also steckt er sich eine Handvoll Zigarren Freuds Lieblingsmarke “Hoyo de Monterrey” ins Jacket, folgt dem berühmten Herrn Doktor und setzt sich auf die Bank vor seinem Haus. Irgendwann muss der ja mal wieder rauskommen und dann kann er ihn vielleicht fragen, was er machen soll mit der Anezka, ist ja sein Job.All diese Szenen sind geschrieben in unaufgeregter wunderschöner Prosa und obwohl wir ahnen, worum es bald gehen wird - worum soll es schon gehen, in Wien, ein Jahr vor dem Anschluss - ist doch alles irgendwie normal. Es ist normal aus der heutigen Sicht auf die Welt, unterscheidet die sich doch leider nicht sehr von der in 1937. Arbeiter, Doktoren, Tagelöhner, reiche Witwen geben sich die Klinke in die Hand, beim Trafikanten, der kennt jeden und alle, sie sich untereinander jedoch nur aus der Zeitung. Jeder lebt in seiner kleinen Blase und die Weisheiten über die Welt stehen im “Volksblatt” für den Arbeiter (die Juden sind schuld), dem “Kleinen Blatt” für die Dame (die Juden sind schuld) und in der “Wiener Zeitung” für den feinen Herrn (die Juden, ditto). Und so braucht es nicht lange bis die Scheiben vom Trafikanten beschmiert werden. Zwar lebt hier gar kein Jude, aber so richtig koscher ist Otto Trsnjek mit seinem einem Bein (das andere blieb im Weltkrieg, dem ersten, logischerweise) auch nicht, man weiß es nicht. Und von hier an lassen wir dem Leser ein bisschen die Story entdecken, denn sie zu lesen ist nicht nur erwartbar traurig, sie ist auch sehr schön und sie ist ein bisschen wichtig.lZu sehr erinnert das seltsame Nebeneinanderherleben aller in diesem Wien, in diesem untergegangenen Kaiserreich an das heutige Deutschland, denn da war so ein Österreicher, der da beeindruckend für Ordnung sorgte in Berlin, wie man schon neidlos anerkennen muss - so die meisten Wiener. Zu sehr erinnert der Gröfaz von damals an so manche Lokalpolitiker heute, einen aus Thüringen zum Beispiel, den man jetzt offiziell einen Nazi nennen darf und dessen Partei in diesem Herbst dennoch mehr als 40% der Leute wählen wollen (in Sachen-Anhalt). In den Zeitungsläden von Magdeburg und Halle liegen vielleicht weniger verschiedene Zeitungen aus als in Wien, 1937, aber gemein ist ihnen, dass diese Zeitungen den gleichen Prinzipien wie damals auf den Leim gehen: es muss laut sein, es muss eine einfache Lösung versprechen und es braucht einen Sündenbock - und ob das ein Jude oder ein Afghane ist, ist dem Nazi wurscht und für beide Opfer ist es jeweils egal, ob sie einen Baseballschläger über den Schädel oder hochoffiziell von einem Polizisten per Flugzeug den staatlich verordneten Totschlag per Abschiebung bekommen.Und keinen kümmert es so recht, hat man das Gefühl, steht ja alles in der Zeitung oder beim Tiktoker und wenn es alle ok finden, isses schon ok. Statt sich kurz zu fragen, wie es der Frisörin, dem Zeitungsverkäufer, dem Geflüchteten heute geht, tun wir das genausowenig wie sich die Leute damals um die Leben und Gefühle der Fleischer oder der Trafikanten oder der weltberühmten Psychologen scherten.Rufen möchte man! Ob man vielleicht mal kurz den Kopf heben kann, bittschön?! Den Spiegel/Freitag/Junge Freiheit weglegen und selbst denken und bedenken, was die Konsequenzen sind, wenn man das so lange nicht tut, bis es zu spät ist!All das tut Robert Seethaler mit seiner Erzählung, vordergründig in einer gelassenen Schönheit, dass man zunächst zweifelt, ob das so angebracht sei und man dann merkt, dass das der Trick ist, nicht nur uns Leserinnen bei der Stange zu halten, sondern die erschreckende banale Schönheit kurz vor der Katastrophe zu malen, auf das wir diesmal vielleicht die Zeichen der Zeit rechtzeitig sehen.

Ali Abulaban was a popular TikToker whose charismatic digital persona masked a disturbing history of domestic control and surveillance. After his estranged wife Ana sought to start a new life, the internal tension between his viral fame and private possessiveness reached a tragic breaking point. The reality of the situation came to light when Ali utilized a hidden listening device to track Ana's whereabouts before confronting her at a San Diego high-rise.

Hay mucha gente estupefacta y preguntándose cómo puede estar Pedro Sánchez encendiendo palitos de incienso en tik tok mientras en el juzgado se está ofreciendo un cuadro tan siniestro de la forma de ejercer el poder en su gobierno. Con las ilustradas amigas de Ábalos pasando las horas muertas en la biblioteca. ¡Qué le den el premio de Fomento a la lectura a Ábalos! Claudia en la biblioteca mientras cobraba en Logirrail y Jessica se sacó Odontología mientras cobraba de Ineco. A ver si estamos viendo a un rijoso donde hay un mecenas. A ver si estamos confundiendo a Lorenzo de Medici con José Luis Torrente. A ver si confundimos… en fin… y con perdón… las tetas con las becas.Ya me he perdido… vuelvo… a mí me interesa la barrita de incienso del presidente. Me decía ayer Caraballo que da la impresión de vive ajeno a toda realidad, como en un lugar de contemplación alejado de la contaminación y el ruido.Yo en cambio creo que tiene toda la lógica y hasta toda la semiótica. ¿Para qué sirve? ¿Cuál la razón originaria del botafumeiro de la Catedral de Santiago? Claro… es el olor… llegaban los peregrinos exhaustos y escasos de higiene y allí no había quien respirara…. es el olor… mi único reparo al tik toker Sánchez es que va a necesitar algo más potente que una barrita para camuflar este hedor… porque estos peregrinos tan impíos que le acompañaron en su Peugeot vienen oliendo muy mal…

A tragic “mommy makeover” case is now at the center of a high-stakes legal battle after 47-year-old TikTok Momfluencer Rachel Tussey died following post-operative complications, with her surgeon blaming the surgical center for a fatal overdose and alleged cover-up. The case lays out competing narratives — one accusing staff of negligence and misconduct, and the other firmly denying wrongdoing while questioning the true cause of death. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber walks us through the shocking allegations, the defense's response, and what this case could mean as the search for accountability unfolds.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: Download the FREE Upside App at https://upside.app.link/sidebar to get an extra 25 cents bonus for every gallon on your first tank of gas.HOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
From the Best of What On Earth – Don't have a garden? Adopt a roundabout and plant things for the bees! We meet a TikToker who's done just that. And then we travel from coast to coast to hear about a push to let sections of city parks grow a little wild. We head to one of these meadows to hear how they attract pollinators, and hear why creating “pollinator pockets” for busy bees and “hairy” moths can be a climate solution across the country – and a patriotic one at that.
