Perhaps Bette Davis and Joan Crawford's mutual loathing comes to mind? Or Marlon Brando's 40-year-old beef with Burt Reynolds? Maybe the more recent tensions between Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh? Well, let me tell you: these are absolutely nothing compared to Cate Blanchett and her indefatigable animus towards the leaf blower. Seemingly every single leaf blower.

Jordan Brann, who attended Pine View High School in St. George, Utah, posted a video on TikTok calling Robinson a 'Reddit kid,' a slang term used to describe young people heavily influenced by Reddit culture. The phrase often carries a mocking tone, implying someone is deeply immersed in online communities, memes, or internet-driven beliefs. 'I went to school with Tyler Robinson,' Brann said in the now-deleted TikTok.
Tyler Robinson, apprehended last night in connection to the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, allegedly left engraved bullets at the crime scene that were covered in a furry meme, references from the video game Helldivers 2, and an extremely online taunt. In an FBI briefing this morning about his arrest, Utah Governor Spencer Cox described the sequence of events that led to the capture of Robinson, 22, who was turned into the police by his father.
If you're roaming the hallways or lunchrooms of American schools, you might think that kids are suddenly really into math. You'll hear everyone from elementary age kids to high schoolers yell "six seven!" or "41!!!" to their friends with glee. I'm here to report to my fellow adults that brainrot has gotten so rotted that Gen Alpha - kids under 14, or so - are just saying numbers as memes.
