Blue Origin Passenger Has Never Used Amazon
That Netherlands teen who flew into space with Bezos told him on the flight that the boy has never bought anything from Amazon. “I told Jeff, like, I’ve actually never bought something from Amazon,” Daemen told Reuters. “And he was like, ‘oh, wow, it’s [been] a long time [since] I heard someone say that.’”
A ticket on the spaceship counts, kid. More than everything the rest of us bought combined.

Norway's Beach Handball Team Says F.U. To Sexist Olympic Dress Code Rules
Norway’s female beach handball team will be fined after breaking Olympic dress code, wearing shorts instead of bikinis. Official rules require female athletes to wear “bikini bottoms…with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg. The side width must be of a maximum of 10 centimetres [about 4 inches].” Men are allowed to wear shorts.
These rules may need some updating. It’s handball, not 1990’s Maxim.

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox skipped the premiere for her new movie Midnight in the Switchgrass. He also wrote on Twitter ” if i don’t talk or tweet about a movie i’m barely in it’s because it’s 🚮.” That trash emoji kinda makes us think he’s calling this one trash.
