Sliding into someone’s DMs is a bold move. You’re scrolling the feed, maybe you’re stalking a profile a little, and you have a direct line to their attention. Why not shoot your shot, right? The tricky part is that a DM skips the usual signs that somebody might actually want to hear from you. There’s no match confirming your attraction or interest. You’re just appearing in their inbox and hoping you don’t come off weird. Tons of people meet online now, and not always on dating apps. Pew Research Center has found that social platforms are part of that too. Instagram might not have been designed for dating, but people have been using it that way for years. Here’s how to avoid making things awkward. 1. Do Your Prep Work If a stranger sends you a DM, what’s the first thing you do? You look at their profile. They’re probably going to do the same thing to you, so it helps if there’s something there. A nearly empty account, an ancient profile photo, or five posts fr...

Gener8ion and Yung Lean’s “ Storm II ” was a dark horse nominee for Video of the Year at the 2026 MTV VMAs . To mark the occasion, the duo performed the track live on stage for the first time. And they brought their mesmerizing dance crew with them. The performance was introduced by actor Brandon Sklenar and Survivor host Jeff Probst. Yung Lean recreated the aesthetic of the “Storm” music video by stomping through the backstage area. He was dressed in a prep school outfit. He walked over to a table and picked up a moonman, or moon person. Statue in hand, Lean hurried out onto the stage, paused in front of the MTV VMAs crowd, and then smashed it. Afterwards, he marched over to a riser full of prep schoolers and took his place in the middle as the chaotic and intrancing dance routine began.

Nirvana were the recipients of the 2026 MTV VMAs Video Vanguard Award . Notably, in very rock star fashion, guitarist Pat Smear stood with a lit cigarette in hand while accompanying Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic to accept the award. Hip-hop legend Chuck D, of Public Enemy, took the stage to honor the iconic grunge band. After his brief introduction, a video rolled, showing the band talking about the music and music videos. Especially, there was quite a bit about late frontman Kurt Cobain. Then, the band’s remaining members came to the stage to accept the coveted award. However, while there is normally a performance accompanying an award such as the Vanguard, this time there was not one. Kurt Cobain would’ve loved Pat Smear smoking a cigarette on stage.

This week makes simple conversations feel like they need a second pass. Mercury moves into Scorpio on Wednesday, while Mars and Pluto press on communication, relationships, and anyone insisting they’re “fine” when they are not. Venus turning retrograde Saturday adds another reason to slow down around love, money, and old feelings before deciding what any of it means. There’s still room to work with all this, stargazer. Uranus and Pluto support the Sun, while Neptune’s trine to Mars gives us somewhere to put the emotional overflow besides another argument. Perfect certainty probably isn’t coming. What matters is knowing when to ask one more question, when to leave something alone, and when the same old response has stopped helping. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 Mars moves into Leo on Sunday, Aries , and suddenly there’s a little more swagger behind whatever you’ve been trying to get done. Neptune’s trine to your ruling planet hel...

On November 9, 1975, the Ohio Players released “Love Rollercoaster,” which would eventually become the biggest hit of their careers. The song, which was later covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the Beavis and Butt-Head Do America soundtrack, was the second single off of their seventh studio album, Honey . Shortly after the track came out, rumors began to circulate that the model featured on Honey ’s iconic front cover (Ester Cordet) had been murdered. But that’s not all: Some even claimed that Cordet’s dying scream was recorded and actually found its way into the final version of “Love Rollercoaster.” According to the most common version of the story , Cordet burned herself with the honey she’s seen dripping into her mouth in the cover photo. She then supposedly returned to the studio and threatened to sue over the incident, at which point she was either stabbed by a member of the band or one of their associates as they were recording the song. In other variations, it was ...
