Ash Magic (ashmagic) is a mentalist with millions of online followers, which he has built largely by performing mind-bending bits on famous people. His latest was Dwayne Johnson.
The bit was framed around wayfinding, a nod to Johnson's role in Moana. Ash had him tap a random point in the air, pick a set of coordinates, and hold the digits in his head. Then Ash said them out loud: 87127.
Johnson called for tequila.
Next, Ash asked him to picture a character from the Moana world. Johnson settled on Te Kā, the lava demon, and spelled it out mentally. Ash named it.
"Man, I need a drink," Johnson said.

Bethenny Frankel says a new medical team has concluded that she was misdiagnosed with something "pretty major," but she is not revealing which condition is being questioned.
The former Real Housewives of New York City star said several doctors reviewed her bloodwork, supplements and other medical information together before challenging one of her previous diagnoses.
Frankel described the conclusion as confusing because she had been living under the belief that the unnamed diagnosis was correct. She did not identify the original doctor, the new medical group or any treatment that may have resulted from the diagnosis.
Her disclosure follows months of public updates about chronic kidney disease, but Frankel did not say that her kidney diagnosis was the one being reconsidered.
Frankel shared the update in an Instagram video posted August 3rd, telling followers that she had joined what she called a "very legitimate" medical community. She said multiple doctors were cross-referencing her bloodwork, supplement use and other health information instead of reviewing each issue separately.

Every summer, the same script plays out: one bikini photo of Georgina Rodríguez surfaces, and the internet decides it has something to say about her body. This year, rather than fire back at her critics directly, the model and entrepreneur chose a different move — she shared a private exchange with Cristiano Ronaldo, one sparked by a fear she'd confessed to him, and let his answer do the talking. It's struck a chord with thousands of followers, precisely because it sidesteps the physique debate entirely and points to something sturdier.
Ronaldo provided some much-needed perspective for Rodriguez (georginagio)
The timing is notable: Rodríguez just launched Mimoa, her activewear label, and used the moment to unpack the broader pressure so many women face over their bodies.
The renewed wave of commentary followed a batch of vacation photos taken aboard a boat. "These days I've seen every kind of comment about some photos of me on a boat. Some people have opinions about my body, others defend me…" Rodríguez wrote.
That's when she turned to Ronaldo with something that had been weighing on her. "I was talking to Cris about it, and I told him: 'It worries me that they're calling me fat now, because I make my living off my image.'"

Sometimes what is needed is something different.
There is a long history in football of counterintuitive thinking being successful, of the benefits of creative tension, of adding grit to the oyster to generate the pearl, but even so, the news that talks between Vinícius Júnior and ***** nal on personal terms are progressing comes as something of a shock. Mikel Arteta's great followers of a blueprint adding a free spirit like the Brazilian? Really?
Vinícius returns to Real Madrid this week after the World Cup with movement on his future expected relatively soon. He has 12 months remaining on his contract and Madrid are keen either to tie him down to a new deal or to sell him while he will attract at least some kind of fee. As their squad rebuild goes on under José Mourinho, Madrid's position is readily understandable. They have already signed Bernardo Silva, Denzel Dumfries, Marc Cucurella and Ibrahima Konaté this summer; removing Vinícius's £420,000 a week (about $30m/year) basic wages significantly increases their financial headroom.

There's been a sense since Kylian Mbappé joined Madrid two years ago that having him and Vinícius together left the squad unbalanced. Why would you need two rapid forwards who both prefer to cut in from the left, particularly when Rodrygo, who tended to be consigned to the right before tearing his ACL in March, would also prefer to play from the left? Yan Diomandé is likely to confirm his move to Real Madrid from RB Leipzig this week. Although the Ivorian has said he would rather play on the right, he too has spent much of his career on the left.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup wrapped last month, and with it went 39 days of the kind of moments that make a tournament unforgettable: a teenage phenom stealing highlight reels with his flair, a scrappy underdog nation refusing to go home, a 40-year-old goalkeeper turning in the performance of his career, a nine-figure transfer rumor before the confetti had even settled. For four weeks, the entire sports world organized itself around this single competition. But the appetite for those storylines didn't end when the final whistle blew, and it doesn't need a men's tournament to be satisfied. Right now, in stadiums and arenas across the world, women's sports are producing the exact same arcs: breakout stars, Cinderella runs, veteran redemption stories, record-breaking numbers, and transfer fees rewriting what the sport is worth. They're just not getting the same attention. Here are five World Cup moments and the women's sports stories playing out in real time that deserve to be next on your watchlist.
PERTH, AUSTRALIA - AUGUST 03: Morocco players celebrate advancing to the knock out stage after the 1-0 victory in the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Group H match between Morocco and Colombia at Perth Rectangular Stadium on August 03, 2023 in Perth, Australia.

Liked Lamine Yamal's flair? Watch Morocco's Atlas Lionesses at WAFCON.
Yamal spent this World Cup as one of the most-watched players on the planet, a teenager with more than 50 million Instagram followers turning every touch into a moment. Morocco is hosting the Women's Africa Cup of Nations for a third straight edition, running through August 16 across Rabat and Casablanca, and the Atlas Lionesses have opened their campaign in commanding form. They beat Kenya 4-0 to open the tournament, then beat Algeria 1-0 to move to two wins from two matches, sitting atop Group A with five goals scored and none conceded. The breakout to watch is Barcelona Femení prospect Kautar Azraf, flagged by CAF as one of the country's brightest young talents ahead of her first senior call-up, the same "unproven teenager announces herself on the biggest stage" arc that made Yamal a global name this summer.
Liked Cape Verde's underdog run? Watch WAFCON's debutant nations.
Cape Verde's men's team was one of the World Cup's most beloved stories, a nation of fewer than 600,000 people holding its own against the sport's giants. Their women's game has its own version unfolding right now. Cape Verde and Malawi are both playing in their first-ever Women's AFCON this year

FC Internazionale Milano have reached a historic and significant milestone, which cements their size on a global scale. The Nerazzurri now have over 100 million fans on their social media platforms, distributed across their 26 different profiles.
It is an achievement that goes beyond mere numbers and tells the tale of a project that has been carried out over time, in which on-field success has been linked to an increasingly structured digital strategy, which has broadened the horizons of its fanbase to new audiences outside of Italy.
In the last twelve months, this growth has been constant and significant, having drawn in over 16 million new fans, an increase of over 20%, which is a leading figure among the world's top clubs. In the last six months (February to July), this growth has taken the Club over the 100-million mark, strengthening Inter's position as one of the most popular entities in world football. In particular, YouTube and TikTok, two key platforms in the Club's internationalisation,largely drove this increase in followers.
Inter have surpassed 10 million subscribers on YouTube, joining an elite group of global football clubs on the platform. Between February and July, the Club recorded 6.1 million new subscribers, representing growth of 135%. This milestone has also seen Inter climb to seventh in the global ranking of football clubs by subscriber count.
At the same time, TikTok continued to establish itself as one of the Club's most dynamic platforms, with steady growth in both its fanbase (+4 million followers between February and July) and engagement. It was on TikTok that the Club also experimented with new storytelling formats, launching an innovative "Out Of Phone" campaign to celebrate its 21st Scudetto. For the first time, content native to the platform stepped beyond the smartphone screen to become a shared, real-world experience, accompanying the Bus Parade and turning Milano into an extension of the Club's digital storytelling. The initiative generated hundreds of millions of views and drove a significant increase in followers, further demonstrating Inter's ability to bring the digital and physical worlds together through moments of powerful emotional impact.

Aaron Rodgers is shedding new light on his personal life, revealing that his wife played a pivotal role in repairing his strained relationship with his family. Last month, the NFL quarterback posted photos with family members and received an overwhelmingly positive response from his followers, who were happy to see the decade-long feud had finally been resolved.
After years of reported estrangement from his family dating back to late 2014, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers surprised fans in July by posting photos with them on social media.
On August 1, the athlete talked about the reunion in a conversation with NFL Network's Kyle Brandt. The host said he was "genuinely moved" when he saw Rodgers' post and the effect it had on him.
Rodgers said he's been having conversations about it for years, adding that his mystery wife, Brittani, played a role in the family reconciliation. "A big part of it was getting married, and having those conversations with my wife that allowed me to kind of open up to the possibility of coming together," he answered.
He added that he prefers to keep his personal life private, but he wanted to "shut down" a narrative that has gone on too long. Rodgers said the love and support Brittani has given him urged him to reconnect with family members whom he admittedly missed.

Paige Spiranac knows her golf outfits aren't for everyone.
The popular golf influencer and content creator, who has more than four million followers on social media, is constantly trending for what she decides to wear on the course. It's often fairly revealing.
But Spiranac, a former gymnast turned golfer, is just wearing what she feels is most comfortable out on the course.
"I was a gymnast before I switched into golf," Spiranac told Sports Illustrated. "I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that's just what you wear when you're wearing a leotard and you're competing. When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially and so I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. So, I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game.
She added, "That was always my mindset when I got into golf, and it really rubs people the wrong way which is shocking. They'll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar or a real collar and I'm just out here just in tank tops or spandex and people are like 'What are you doing?' But I love it.

Despite their troubled relationship, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov have both established a lasting bond with soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo over their years in the spotlight.
Ronaldo is second to none among the world's most famous people, capitalizing on his notoriety beyond the sport to amass a staggering 1+ billion followers across all social media accounts. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward has shown an interest in mixed martial arts in his time away from the field, often finding himself at UFC showcases when his busy schedules allow. Because of this, he has been able to connect with many notable figures in the combat sports world, most significantly McGregor and Khabib.
The Portuguese phenom has not slowed down at the grand age of 41, pushing to further his record as soccer's all-time leading goalscorer. Less than 30 goals away from hitting 1000, Ronaldo is on the verge of unrivaled greatness, though he is also closing in on a personal milestone arguably more important than his career achievements.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-term girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, have decided on a wedding date after eight years of dating. The wedding is set to be trending among the biggest in history, and the guest list is full of familiar faces around the globe.
For MMA fans, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov will be front and center should they accept the reported invitation. If the UFC stars put their feud behind them, they will be in attendance alongside famous musicians Drake, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as personalities like IShowSpeed and Piers Morgan, who are all rumored to be present.

More than 50 years after she starred in Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter still makes hearts race. A recent social media post from Carter, 75, reminded her followers why they have adored her for all of these years.

Influencer and entrepreneur Paige Lorenze is going viral again — this time for beefing with a small business in Nantucket, Mass.
Four Winds Craft Guild, a family-run art shop on the coastal island, went viral earlier this week after its owner, John Sylvia, hung a sign consisting of just two words: "No influencers." Responses to Sylvia's sign have been mixed. Some locals and influencers have supported him, while others have criticized the sign as discriminatory.
One such critic is Lorenze, whose lifestyle brand, Dairy Boy, also has a storefront on Nantucket. After seeing Sylvia's sign on social media, Lorenze was quick to clap back — putting the business on blast for what she sees as an unfair take on influencer culture.
So what's the big deal about the sign and why did it spark an impassioned response from Lorenze? Not chronically online? Not a problem. Below, Yahoo breaks down the drama — and where things stand now.
All right, let's start with the basics. Lorenze is a 28-year-old influencer and entrepreneur with nearly two million followers across her platforms. She is also the founder of Dairy Boy, a nostalgic, coastal-inspired lifestyle brand with pop-ups and retail locations that she launched in 2021.

When Calls the Heart stars Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum recently welcomed their first child. They have been very private about their family's new addition, but Krakow just shared a sweet glimpse of her daughter with her social media followers. Hallmark fans are going wild over it.
On July 29, Krakow shared a pair of photos on her Instagram page. The caption read, "Plane selfie(s) not a plain selfie." Both photos showed just a hint of her daughter's head as the baby cozily nestled against her mom's chest in a carrier.
The first photo showed just Krakow and her baby. The second photo showed the whole family, meaning that Rosenbaum and their dog, Willoughby, were also included in the shot.
Young actor Hyland Goodrich, who plays Krakow's on-screen son, gushed, "MAMA!!! (That word sure takes on a whole new meaning now!) Can't wait to see you all!!!"
A fan wrote, "Awww it's a whole family selfie, love it!!! Safe travels!!!"

Victoria Montano reportedly described a frightening experience at a Sydney cinema after an alleged confrontation. The Real Housewives of Sydney star claimed a man threatened to fight her and her husband. The incident reportedly happened while the couple watched a movie in Newtown.
Montano reportedly took to Instagram Stories to explain what happened during the movie outing. She claimed she looked at her phone during the advertisements when the confrontation began. "Someone threatened to fight with us," she said while describing the encounter.
According to Nine, the reality star then joked about her ability to defend herself during the alleged confrontation. "Lucky I've got a good fly kick because Tim didn't want to fight," Montano said. She also claimed the man eventually left the cinema because he was "scared" of her.
Montano later filmed her husband, Timothy Odillo Maher, walking through Newtown toward their car. She asked him whether he had been worried about potentially having to fight. "I was worried I was going to have to step in," he reportedly replied.
Montano continued joking about the incident while speaking to her followers. She demonstrated her supposed "fly kick" for the camera during the Instagram Stories update. However, the alleged encounter reportedly left her uncomfortable enough to change her plans.

Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke, whose company commands a market capitalization near $154 billion, told his social media followers this week that a tax-tiered voting system—one that would strip voting rights from anyone who pays no income tax—would be a "good system."
That two-word endorsement, dropped into a viral thread, has reignited a debate over wealth, power, and democracy that most Americans thought was settled more than a century ago.
The proposal would invert the founding American principle of "no taxation without representation" into something closer to "no representation without taxation"—and specifically, high taxation. Reactions online split sharply: Some framed it as a provocative thought experiment about aligning fiscal responsibility with political voice, while others called it a naked attempt to legitimize plutocracy by giving billionaires and multimillionaires a formal, multiplied vote over the laws that govern everyone else.
But it also revealed that America is grappling with a political economy debate, as a frozen housing market and an entrenched wealthy baby boomer demographic have many, not just Lütke, arguing that something big needs to change.
The exchange began with a provocation from Lütke: Pension recipients should have their financial futures "locked in and guaranteed," but in return would be reclassified as "dependents" and lose the right to vote—the same way minors can't vote. A reply from "Eric Thor," who claimed to be a retired banking executive as well as "armchair economist and policy wonk," proposed a sliding scale: zero votes for anyone who pays no income tax, one vote for those earning $1–100K, two votes for $100–200K, scaling up in that pattern to a hard cap of five votes for anyone earning $500K or more. The pitch was framed as fairness—reward "representation" for those who "foot the bill" through taxation.

A woman is going viral after posting a video in which she says she was fired from a new job after being late on her first and second day for what she insists were good reasons.
TikTok user bigisrayy shared a video from the driver's seat of her car on Tuesday, July 21, in which she explained in the caption that she lost her job on her second day due to "a patten [sic] of 'absence ' that they thought was unprofessional and disrespectful."
In the video, she explained that she wanted to be "transparent" with her followers and revealed that she told her new employers that she'd have to be late on her first day because she had to go to the DMV to take care of a suspended license. She claimed, in a follow-up video shared a day later, that her uncle worked at the DMV, so she'd hoped it would be a speedy process, but her uncle was on vacation.
As a result, she showed up 30 minutes late on her first day, but claims she warned her employers she would be late and communicated with them on the day.
Things got tense the following shift when she showed up five minutes late. Rather than call ahead and warn them that she'd be late, she hoped she could simply apologize in person.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.
Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. This week she had a change of heart.
"Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring. This is everyday for every Ukrainian," Loomer wrote on X during her visit to the country. "I often said I don't care. Looking back, that wasn't very nice of me to say."
"We need to have moral clarity," she added Thursday.
It was a stunning reversal for a woman who had spent years criticizing U.S. support for Ukraine's defense, declaring it "a country full of ****** apologists" — a claim used by Russia to justify its yearslong invasion — and "led by a Jihadi apologist."
