'OMG people, the world is ending': AI company shows just how easy it is to be a social media influencer



An artificial intelligence video company released eerily realistic video content poking fun at the modern world of social media influencers.

Described as "brilliant and depressing," the video from the Dor Brothers utilized Google's Veo 3 AI model to generate a video about a terrorist attack, complete with mock coverage from over-the-top social media creators who are the spit and image of real life.

'Men literally destroy everything, and my girls need to stop being so soft with these basic losers.'

Race activists, fitness influencers, and cryptocurrency pushers were all targets of the hyper-realistic video that mocked the shallowness and vapid personalities of a stereotypical online character.

"OMG, people. The world is ending. Are you seeing this? This is actually so exciting," an AI-generated woman said, recording herself in an active war zone.

A would-be relationship guru then popped up to say, "Like, it would totally be better if we ran it. You know? Men literally destroy everything, and my girls need to stop being so soft with these basic losers."

The video then turned to a cryptocurrency influencer: a muscular man in his car, with a Bitcoin button on his shirt — typically referred to as a crypto bro — encouraging followers to capitalize on the disaster by buying stocks while they are low.

"Guys, this collapse is literally the perfect dip. I'm buying more right now."

As fitness influencers tell followers "the world collapses when men stop lifting" and streamers tell donors to send money for a boat before they drown in a flood, the only differentiators between the footage and real life appeared to be unusually smooth skin and the occasional tooth or hand glitch.

The audio also still needed to be tinkered with, but videos have circulated from other studios, or perhaps prompt-writing sources, that showed equally as impressive work with Google's AI models.

These videos, which are separated from reality along a razor-thin line, are only the tip of the iceberg, according to Return's Peter Gietl.

"The video is funny in how it skewers a generation of 'influencers' who've somehow been able to turn wars, natural disasters, and race riots into content for their audience," Gietl said. "Perhaps the most disturbing aspect is despite being hyper-realistic, it's at least one or two generations behind the latest videos in terms of blurring the lines between AI videos and reality."

As scary as the renders may be, the Dor Brothers did seem particularly adept at mimicking the mind of an influencer, particularly with their race and gender activist character.

"Even as the world burns, my struggle for visibility and acceptance continues," a female character with multicolored hair said. "This is exactly why representation matters now more than ever."

Meet the Millennial influencer running to be Michigan’s next US senator



The 2026 U.S. Senate race in Michigan now has its first official candidate: State Sen. Mallory McMorrow, a Millennial Democrat from Oakland County who shot to national attention with a viral floor speech. She’s betting that moment can carry her all the way to the world’s greatest deliberative body.

Before Democrats and their media lapdogs start drafting puff pieces and polishing the pedestal, they should ask a harder question: Who is Mallory McMorrow — and more importantly, who is she not?

This isn’t just political positioning. It’s a fundamental disconnect. McMorrow’s politics are tailored for retweets, not results.

McMorrow isn’t a product of Michigan grit. She’s a coastal transplant from suburban New Jersey with a degree from Notre Dame and a résumé that reads like a LinkedIn influencer’s dream. She landed in Michigan less than a decade ago and began branding herself as the conscience of the Midwest. But Michiganders know the difference between authenticity and ambition.

McMorrow presents herself as a pragmatic progressive. In reality, she mimics the Instagram-ready style of coastal elites and peddles the kind of policies that might play in Brooklyn or Silver Lake, but not in Battle Creek or Midland.

Take her recent appearance on “Off the Record” with Tim Skubick, a Michigan political staple. Asked about boys competing in girls’ sports, McMorrow didn’t just sidestep the issue — she leaned into it, defending the far-left line with social media polish and no concern for the working-class parents listening at home.

This isn’t just political positioning. It’s a fundamental disconnect. McMorrow talks unity and moderation while aligning herself with activists who push fringe agendas. She sells herself as a consensus-builder while alienating the very voters she claims to represent. Her politics are tailored for retweets, not results.

If Attorney General Dana Nessel jumps into the primary, that contrast will become impossible to ignore. Say what you will about Nessel — she’s blunt, combative, and never confused for anything but herself. She doesn’t hide her ideology or try to sugarcoat her record for the national press. In a matchup, McMorrow won’t just have to explain her platform — she’ll have to explain her reinvention.

A real race demands contrast and courage. Michigan voters don’t need more social media senators. They need leaders who know the price of gas, not just the latest polling memo. They need fighters who understand what Michigan families face every day — not what’s trending in a D.C. group chat.

To her credit, McMorrow is young, articulate, and eager to chart a new course. That’s not nothing. But the path forward for Michigan isn’t progressive posturing. It’s common-sense governance rooted in the lives of working families — not curated identities shaped by PR consultants and filtered through national donor networks.

Republicans need to seize this opportunity. Michigan requires a new generation of GOP leadership — grounded, principled, and ready to fight. I know that generation exists. I see it in the state legislature. I see it in young constitutional conservatives who understand the dignity of work, the sanctity of family, and the value of a dollar.

As a Millennial myself, I know we don’t need more viral fame. We need values. We don’t need slogans. We need substance.

In the coming months, you’ll hear a lot about Mallory McMorrow — there will be glossy profiles, glowing press, and lots of digital fanfare. But underneath the branding is a clear ambition: to take Michigan’s Senate seat and turn it into a springboard for the next liberal celebrity.

We’ve seen that movie before. We know how it ends.

The real question is whether Michigan voters will choose performance or principle.

I believe they’ll choose principle. Because in Michigan, authenticity still matters. Common sense still counts. And we still believe a senator should represent everyday citizens worried about the price of a gallon of milk — not the Met Gala elite sipping champagne just across the Hudson from McMorrow’s home state.

SkinnyTok influencers: Glamorized disordered eating is the latest reason to stop scrolling



TikTok is full of disturbing content, but something called SkinnyTok currently takes the cake for the hottest new trend — and potentially the most dangerous.

“SkinnyTok is essentially this whole genre of TikTok where these influencers, they call themselves ‘skinny influencers,’ are taking to TikTok to help other people get skinny. But I think what they’re promoting is kind of unhealthy,” Blaze Media social media coordinator Phoenix Painter tells Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“I don’t want to shame anyone, but I still feel like it’s important to draw a line as to what is healthy behavior and what seems to be more along the lines of obsession leading to disordered thoughts and patterns,” Painter adds.


One of these influencers, Liv Schmidt, is one of the more “infamous SkinnyTok influencers,” and she takes a harsh approach to her advice.

“A lot of you love to ask me what I eat in a day, and the second I tell you or even hint at it, it’s shock, it’s horror, it’s panic, like, ‘That’s barely any food.’ Yeah, no, what do you think I’m eating? A ton of donuts, pizza, and McDonald’s every day? Babe, be serious, be so for real. I don’t eat like that because I don’t want to look like that,” Schmidt said in a video while walking on a treadmill.

“I eat in portions. I eat with intention. If I ate like garbage, I would feel like garbage and I wouldn’t look the way I do. I chose to be skinny, I chose to be disciplined, and if that makes you uncomfortable, that’s not my problem,” she added.

“Eating disorders are competitive,” Painter says, commenting on Schmidt’s online persona. “Liv Schmidt, she says all the time, ‘Eat small, be small,’ or she also says, ‘You’re not a dog; don’t reward yourself with food.’”

“Which I feel like is so telling of where her mindset actually is,” she adds.

Stuckey, who also dealt with disordered eating in her college years, is all too familiar with this mindset.

“I had a friend who recommended a book in college, and it was called ‘The Skinny Girl Method.’ And it was literally like, ‘Never eat a full banana, just eat half of it, and then put it away,’” Stuckey recalls.

And in the earlier 2000s, when Stuckey was in college, this skinny-girl phenomenon was the norm. Now, it’s clearly making a resurgence on the back of the “body positivity movement.”

“The only thing that I really feel like the body positivity movement got right was that we shouldn’t be shaming people for how they look. Like that kind of early 2000s tabloid thing where they would blow up images of celebrities literally just trying to have a vacation and be like, ‘Oh my God, look at her cellulite, she’s gained five pounds,’” Painter tells Stuckey.

“The body positivity movement absolutely hit it on the nose when they said, ‘No, we shouldn’t be doing that,’ and this is kind of reverting back to that mindset, like '90s, early 2000s,” she adds.

Big Soda paid MAGA influencers to defend junk food



Major soda companies attempted to secretly buy off conservative social media personalities to fight against SNAP benefit reforms — but social media users were too quick to catch on.

It all began with X user Nick Sortor, who posted evidence on the social media platform that a company called Influenceable was cutting big checks to MAGA-aligned influencers on behalf of Big Soda.

“Over the past 48 hours, several large supposedly MAGA-aligned ‘influencers’ posted almost identical talking points fed to them, convincing you MAHA was out of line for not wanting soda purchases with food stamps (SNAP),” Sortor wrote in a post.


“Some even slimely [sic] invoked PRESIDENT TRUMP as an emotional manipulation tactic, referring to his Diet Coke button. Not a SINGLE ONE of them disclosed they were paid for these posts, which led readers to believe a general SODA BAN was in the works,” he added.

X users like Eric Daugherty were accused of the grift, who wrote in a post: “Important: We cannot allow Make America Healthy Again messaging to be used to force needy Americans into not buying certain things. Some officials in DC are working on trying to prevent Americans on SNAP food stamps from using those benefits to purchase any soda.”

“Remember when New York City Democrats tried to prevent people from buying and consuming soda? It backfired big time. President Trump literally has a Diet Coke button in his Oval Office. Let people think and decide for themselves. Anyone can consume soda and be perfectly fine in moderation, unless we’re just going to ban every food with sugar in it for SNAP Americans,” he added.

While Daughtery was among those who took the cash, other influencers, like Riley Gaines, refused. Gaines wrote that they offered to pay her to post, but she gave them a “big fat heck no.”

Unlike the others, Stu Burguiere isn’t shocked in the slightest.

“This shouldn’t be that shocking to anybody, right? I mean, this is how the influencer industry sort of works, right? Like you get paid to post,” Burguiere says.

“Fact, a lot of times, I hire people to post for me, because I hate it so much. I actually pay to post. Who’s the real idiot here,” he jokes.

DEI is on its last legs, but the right risks keeping it alive



It seems one of the only sources of bipartisan agreement in the culture today is that diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are how black people get jobs. In what will be yet another example of people stretching a term past the point of no return, the pushback against DEI is well on its way to the same rhetorical ash heap as “racist,” “fascist,” and “Nazi.”

One conservative influencer with three million followers on X called Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance a “DEI halftime show.” Another right-wing commentator with more than one million followers linked a Black History Month event at the White House to DEI — and, for good measure, blamed DEI for Michelle Obama’s decision to wear long nails.

The truth is that both the left and right seem intent on using 'DEI' as a euphemism for 'black' when it suits them politically.

If things continue at their current pace, conservatives will need to update the popular meme “Everyone I don’t like is a racist” to reflect their current DEI bugaboo.

Anyone with common sense can admit that separating and prioritizing the population along identity lines violates our founding principles and is a recipe for social unrest. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan, the lone dissenter in the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson case, famously remarked:

In view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color-blind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.

This message holds as true for white people today as it did for black people 100 years ago. DEI is dying a quick death because far too many institutions thought they could use historical wrongs to justify present-day discrimination.

The former DEI chief at Johns Hopkins University Hospital sent out a New Year’s message last January with a list of “privileged” identity groups, which included white people, heterosexuals, “cisgender” people, and Christians. Progressives see this type of rhetoric as perfectly normal, but I’m not sure how many lives will be saved at a hospital just because doctors believe it’s a privilege to be white.

Companies and government agencies that thought they could set aside programs for blacks, Asians, Hispanics, women, and LGBT-identifying people without any response from straight white men don’t understand human nature. It’s an iron law of human dynamics: Providing special benefits to one person in a group automatically triggers the other members to ask, “What about me?”

Exposing and rooting out the excesses of the DEI industrial complex from public life marks a positive step. However, like all political movements, the temptation to swing the pendulum too far remains ever-present. Overcorrection often becomes the rule rather than the exception in politics.

The irony is that conservatives never assume black people on the right are DEI hires.

Justice Clarence Thomas served on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals — his only experience as a federal judge — for a little over a year before President George H.W. Bush nominated him to the Supreme Court in 1991. For comparison, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson served close to nine years in the federal judiciary before her appointment.

Conservatives cheered when President Trump selected Dr. Ben Carson to be his secretary of Housing and Urban Development during his first term. Prior to entering the political arena, Carson was a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon doing cutting-edge work at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. But somehow the man who led a team that separated conjoined twins was deemed qualified to lead HUD. Charlie Kirk floated Carson’s name to lead the Department of Agriculture in the second Trump administration — one week after he claimed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was a “DEI pick.”

Nothing undercuts the conservative push to rid the culture of the identity-obsession created by DEI programs more than arguing that a four-star general who spent decades in leadership is unfit to run the military while a decorated surgeon is qualified to rightsize the Section 8 program.

It’s clear that the left has its own DEI blind spots. Progressives spent years making skin color, sex, and bedroom activities the most important qualities in public life. Now, they lament the loss of DEI programs in corporations, government agencies, and other institutions as if they were the only thing keeping black people from suffering Jim Crow-style discrimination at the hands of employers.

The truth is that both the left and right seem intent on using “DEI” as a euphemism for “black” when it suits them politically. Using the term haphazardly distorts its meaning and drains it of political potency.

Conservatives should resist that temptation because nothing hardens a group more than overusing the terms used to police its behavior. It’s the reason many right-wing pundits stopped caring about being called “racist.” Doing the same with DEI is the blueprint for breathing life into identity obsession, not what you do if you want it to die.

Andrew Tate's ‘absolutely demonic’ worldview will RUIN lives



Once the most Googled man on the planet, Andrew Tate has now fallen far off his generational run, and Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” thinks it’s about time.

“Andrew Tate. The influencer, the pump, the OnlyFans manipulator, the guy facing imprisonment in Romania. He’s a really wicked man; he is a devilish man, pushing a line of deceit that is really, really subversive and manipulative,” Whitlock says before reading one of Tate’s Christmastime posts on X.

“The real redpill about race that nobody ever says: White people are doomed to fail because they’re the only race that cares about what women think and say. Result? Liberalism. LGBT. Birth Rate declines. The list goes on,” Tate wrote.

Tate went on to say that “every white woman alive fantasizes about a black man” and that “the winning races simply ignore what women think completely and use them for children only.”


“That is pure wickedness,” Whitlock comments. “That is a kernel of truth, that men must quit pandering to the emotions of women and then using that as a jumping off point to promote irresponsible, immoral, chaotic behavior that leads to more and more chaos and more unfathered, unparented kids.”

“I do not understand how anybody defends Andrew Tate at this point. I’ve never been someone that’s defended Andrew Tate. I’ve seen others try to find or try to promote that there’s some sort of redeeming quality to Andrew Tate, that he’s being set up and being persecuted because he’s a real man and he promotes masculinity.”

“No, this is wickedness. This is stupidity. These are outright lies,” he continues. “He is a distraction, and unfortunately, there are men who will buy this stuff. This whole manosphere, this whole red pill.”

And those people are being led down a path diametrically opposed to the one they claim to believe in.

“This post is demonic. Absolutely demonic,” Whitlock says. “If you’re a heterosexual, Christian black man, your number one ally outside of other heterosexual, Christian black men, outside of them, it’s the Evangelical, heterosexual, Christian white man.”

“That is your ally. Andrew Tate is trying to lead you away from your actual ally, any Christian man that’s trying to pursue holiness, trying to pursue righteousness. That is your ally,” he adds.
