Why do the Olympic shooters put their hands in their pockets? Because they look cool! I mean, yeah, balance and alignment and comfort, etc, but also—they look cool! Put Kim Yeji in a John Wick movie! (Popsugar)

Carrie Bradshaw is a fashion icon (you said it, not me), but her taste in shoes is always suspect. Remember the gladiator sandal trend? Well, she’s back with new, hideous shoes. The more things never change yadda yadda. (Go Fug Yourself)

The US Department of Transportation wants to ban airlines from charging parents/guardians for booking tickets next to children 13 and under. If that’s the minimum, fine, but why not shoot for the moon and eliminate charging for seats, period? You’re already paying for the class of the ticket, which determines amenities/comfort, so go all the way with it and ban charging extra for seats within your ticket class, full stop. I don’t think parents should be charged for trying to sit with their children, but I don’t think ANYONE should be charged for their seat selection. (Celebitchy)

Have you been wondering about those tasty-looking chocolate muffins Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen has been showing off on TikTok? Well, wonder no more! They’re the “Maxi Muffin Chocolat Intense” from Coup de Pates. Mystery solved, now how can I get one? (Eater)
