Mackenzie Shirilla is going viral again and this time it is for taking a prison selfie that has the internet completely divided

Shirilla, now 22 years old, is currently serving a minimum 15 year sentence at the Ohio Reformatory for Women after being convicted in August 2023 of aggravated murder for intentionally accelerating her car to over 100 miles per hour and crashing it into a concrete wall, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan, both 20 years old at the time

The case gripped the internet in 2023 when surveillance footage from the crash was played in court, showing the deliberate acceleration in the moments before impact. Judge Nancy Margaret Russo, who delivered an emotional verdict, called the crash a deliberate act and described Shirilla as calculating and controlling in her relationship

The prison selfie is now circulating widely on X with people debating everything from prison phone access to whether someone convicted of double murder should have access to social media at all

Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan were 20 years old.

Ariana Grande once slid into the DMs of Paige Niemann, a TikToker who went viral for doing Ariana makeup transformations, and what she said speaks volumes about her character

Rather than being flattered by the impersonation, Ariana took the time to personally tell Paige that she had looked through her page and felt someone needed to remind her that she is beautiful as herself, without the makeup and without trying to look like someone else

She told Paige she had to say it because it was the truth, that she would have regretted staying silent, and ended the message by telling her she is beautiful as she is

Paige Niemann was around 13 years old at the time and had amassed millions of TikTok followers purely from her Ariana impressions

Most celebrities ignore fan accounts. Some send cease and desist letters. Ariana Grande personally DMed a teenage girl to tell her she was enough on her own.

That is the difference.

Fitness YouTuber and looksmaxxing influencer Connor Murphy has died at 31 years old after drowning in a lake in Thailand on July 7

Thai authorities responded to reports of a foreign man in distress near a lake in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province around 3 PM local time. Rescue divers recovered his body approximately 20 meters from shore. No signs of assault were found on the body. An autopsy and toxicology tests are pending and the US Embassy has been notified.

Witnesses reported Murphy displaying erratic behavior before entering the lake. The rental property he was staying in, valued at approximately 600,000 dollars, was reportedly found with paint smeared across furniture and appliances. Two unused syringes and unidentified pills were found in his vehicle, though authorities have not confirmed these as connected to his death.

Murphy rose to fame through his YouTube channel which grew to over 2 million subscribers. His 2016 video The Fake Shirt Trick became his signature viral moment with over 63 million views. He later pivoted toward spiritual content through his Murphyism channel in his final years.

No official cause of death has been confirmed. The investigation remains open.

Rest in peace Connor Murphy. 🕊️

Walmart and Sam's Club are cutting prices on thousands of products across the United States this summer in one of the largest retail price reduction campaigns either chain has announced in recent years

The discounts cover everyday staples including beef, snacks and soda, targeting the grocery categories where American consumers have felt inflation most sharply over the past three years

Walmart has been under significant pressure from both consumers and politicians to address food prices following a period where grocery costs rose faster than overall inflation in the United States. The price cuts are widely seen as both a competitive move against Target, Kroger and Aldi and a response to that public pressure.

Sam's Club, which operates as Walmart's membership warehouse division, is participating in the reductions simultaneously, giving both casual shoppers and bulk buyers access to the lower prices

No specific list of products or exact discount percentages has been officially released beyond the categories confirmed

Walmart is the largest retailer in the United States by revenue and operates over 4,600 stores domestically alongside more than 600 Sam's Club locations
