After Charlie Kirk’s assassination Wednesday, social media split between prayers and vitriol — with some posts sparking calls for firings and demands for accountability. One business owner told the…

When an interstellar object (ISO) travels through our inner Solar System, the immediate question is "Where did it come from?" There are only fleeing opportunities to study these, since their trajectories take them out of the Solar System pretty quickly. A new research effort aims to understand where the most recent ISO, 3I/ATLAS, originated.

Adam Bain, Dick Costolo, and David Fischer — the operators behind Twitter and Meta’s growth — reunite at Disrupt 2025.

It's the latest in a long line of criticism — and action — against the company's treatment of people with physical disabilities.

The steamiest interview on the internet right now. If you may recall, last year, a UK podcast, Girls in Low Places, went viral for a very flirtatious interview with the “Worst Way” singer, Riley Green. The internet was obsessed with the flirty banter between the host, Katie Atkin, and Green as the two were laying it on thick for each other in a comical but flirtatious way. The interview ended with Riley Green inviting Atkin to Alabama to play with the goats on his farm and to go on a Cracker Barrel date. “When you come to the US, we’ll go to Cracker Barrel, and you can come by and see the goats. The next interview we do is gonna be at Cracker Barrel. Sounds romantic. That show at Hyde Park was too good to us.” You have to respect Atkin for shooting her shot with Green, and the result was one of the best interview moments of 2024. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Girls In Low Places Podcast (@thegirlsinlowplaces) Riley Green is currently overseas on the European leg of his Don’t Mind If I Do tour, which has a stop at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, England. He’ll play to another sold-out crowd, but in addition to the concerts, he’s been doing tons of press there since he clearly doesn’t get over to the UK as often as he’d probably like. With Green being across the pond, it led to another Riley Green x Girls In Low Places conversation. While their following interview did not occur at Cracker Barrel, it was a date, and a very flirtatious one at the least. The two sit at opposite ends of a long table for a cereal date. The two share a bowl of Corn Flakes while wearing Versace robes, and it’s a hilarious bit with Katie Atkin playing into it flawlessly. At one point in the interview, Atkin removes part of her robe to reveal a bit of lingerie, which leaves Riley Green stunned, looking to his manager for help and asking: “What kind of show is this?” After that moment, Green hilariously asked Atkin how many times she practices that reveal. Which she wittily responds that she’s done it many times… in her head. The two’s flirty banter leads to some great interview questions, asking about what Riley Green looks for when he’s checking out the girls in the crowd. Atkin used the example of girls singing their hearts out or the mysterious girl reading in the back. While Green admitted he’s never seen someone reading at his show, he shares that he always gets a good laugh seeing fans wear fake mustaches. “I’ve seen a lot of fake mustaches. It’s fun… It’s not like my thing. I’m not into it if that’s what you’re asking. I don’t have a drawer full of fake mustaches in the bedroom by the bed, just like, ‘Throw this on, sweetheart.'” HA. Atkin then candidly asks Green what his favorite country music song is to have sex to. Green’s answer isn’t what you’d traditionally think of as a ‘let’s get it on” country song, but it’s still a solid choice. “Oh wow… See, mine’s not fun. Mine would be like ‘I Wouldn’t Be A Man,’ Don Williams. That’s a love song. And you know, back then they got away… it was like it was risky back then. What is it, ‘Behind Closed Doors,’ who is that? Charlie Rich is another good one. They were sneaky dirty back then. Conway Twitty had some dirty songs.” Riley Green’s pick was a Top 10 hit for Don Williams in 1987, and it was also recorded by Billy Dean in the ’90s, and then perhaps most well known by our readers, was a Top 20 hit for Josh Turner in 2010. I can only imagine Riley putting on the moves to these lyrics. “I wouldn’t be a man ifI didn’t feel like thisI wouldn’t be a man if a woman like youWas anything I could resistI’d have to be from another planetWhere love doesn’t existI wouldn’t be a man ifI didn’t feel like this…” Atkins then picks up on the fact that Green enjoys a song that is subtly hinting at wanting to get frisky, versus his steamy tune “Worst Way,” which paints a very vivid picture of what he wants to do with his lover. Green gives a perfect response for the kind of sexy songs he’s into: “It’s a dirty song your mom still likes.” Amen to that. So, ladies, if you want to catch Riley Green’s eye at an upcoming show, put on a fake mustache, but quickly rip it off once you make eye contact, and throw some Don Williams lyrics on a poster board. Or take a page out of Katie Atkins’ book and wear a Versace robe with lingerie while eating a bowl of Corn Flakes. Either way is likely guaranteed to snag the attention of the Alabama native.

Hard to believe it’s already been 24 years. Like pretty much everybody else who was around at the time, I can remember exactly where I was on September 11, 2001. I was in science class with one of my favorite teachers (RIP Mr. Smith) when he came in to tell us that there had been an attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I was only in 8th grade, so I was still a little too young to understand exactly how big the moment was, but once I got home and saw the video of the planes flying into the towers and the people running for their lives, I had a pretty good idea just how much the world would change. The days and weeks after 9/11 still feel like a blur because I was glued to my TV pretty much every chance I had, my little 13-year old brain trying to learn everything I could about terrorism and global politics and just what this horrific attack would mean for the world. In the immediate aftermath there was obviously a groundswell of patriotism and love of America unlike anything I had ever seen. In fact, it feels like that may have been the last time we were truly united as a country, especially today when it feels like we’re as divided as we’ve been in my lifetime. The country music community, especially, released many songs trying to come to terms with what happened, from Alan Jackson’s “Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning” to Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.” But at the same time, radio stations also had to be careful what they played in the days and weeks following the attack. In fact, one of the largest radio station operators in the country even sent out a list of songs that should be avoided after the attacks. Clear Channel Communications, now known as iHeartMedia, is the largest owner of radio stations in the country with over 850 stations currently under their ownership. And after 9/11, the company sent out a memo with some suggestions for songs that shouldn’t be played in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Now, these songs weren’t outright “banned” from the radio stations, but the Clear Channel memo contained songs that referred to a wide range of subjects, from airplanes to death and violence to New York City…and even songs that mentioned “Tuesday,” the day of the week the attack happened. That’s how Lynyrd Skynyrd ended up on the list with their famous song “Tuesday’s Gone.” Despite the song having nothing to do with New York, or planes, or violence, because it referenced “Tuesday,” it was included in the Clear Channel memo as a song that should potentially be avoided by radio stations. It sounds a little ridiculous now, but that’s not even the strangest song that made the list. Remember the famous ’80s song “Walk Like An Egyptian” from The Bangles? Well that song was on the list as well, because one of the hijackers was originally from Egypt. And so was “What A Wonderful World,” the Louis Armstrong classic, because the company didn’t believe it was appropriate to be playing such a joyful song like that in the aftermath of the tragedy. Overall, a lot of the songs make sense, while some of them are head-scratchers. And it’s not really known how many stations actually followed the guidance. But now, 24 years later, the list provides an interesting look at the mindset of our country in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack on United States soil.
