Oh my goodness, talk about worst ideas of all time… Here’s what the entire Internet believes just happened:  Allegedly but probably almost certainly based on everything in the video, it sure looks like Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was having an affair with “Top People Officer” a/k/a HR Chief Kristin Cabot and he took her to a Coldplay concert where the two were featured on the jumbotron and immediately panicked. Chris Martin then muses from the stage that he thinks they just got busted for having an affair and basically the entire Internet agrees with him.

A “kiss cam” moment broadcast at a Coldplay concert struck a scandalous note when it apparently exposed a cheating tech tycoon and his head-of-HR mistress — as the band’s frontman, Chris Martin, mused that they must be “having an affair.” The couple — identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the firm’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot — scrambled to hide their faces when an image of them canoodling appeared on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday night. Cabot covered her face and quickly turned her back while Byron ducked down out of view, prompting some laughter from the crowd. The woman in the video has been identified as Astronomer’s chief human resources officer, Kristin Cabot. Astronomer CEO gushed about chief people officer’s hiring — months before getting caught on Coldplay’s kiss cam “Oh, what?” Martin can be heard declaring with confusion on stage, according to TikTok footage. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” The pair appear to work closely together at Astronomer, an AI and data company valued at about $1.2 billion. When Cabot was hired in November of last year, Byron gushed about her 20 years of HR experience and “exceptional leadership” skills. Meanwhile, Cabot said her conversations with Martin before her hiring had “energized” her.

Top 5 Creature Encounters Caught on Tape

Senate Republicans passed President Donald Trump’s $9 billion rescissions bill aimed at slashing foreign aid programs and left-leaning public broadcasting stations.

Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who’s been touring the United States with a supposedly haunted Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle, died unexpectedly at a hotel, sparking a big reaction online. Rivera, 54, was found dead in his room on Sunday at the end of his three-day stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of his “Devils on the Run Tour” with the doll.  Pennsylvania State Police shared a more detailed report on Wednesday. “Members from PSP Gettysburg responded to a hotel in Straban Township, Adams County for a report of a deceased [man],” the report said. “The decedent was discovered in his hotel room by workers. “Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene,” it added. “This case is pending autopsy results.” The New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR) described this particular doll as “demonically possessed.” It was given to a nursing student in 1968, and she claimed that something wasn’t right with it. “Almost immediately, the roommates noticed strange occurrences with the doll and they were introduced to a medium who told them the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle,” the organization reported. “The two roommates tried to accept the doll’s spirit and please it only to have it reciprocate maliciousness and violent intent.” The society’s late founders, Ed and Lorraine Warren, kept the doll stored in a glass case in an effort to “contain the evil spirited entity.” The movie “The Conjuring” is based on the story of the “haunted” doll Annabelle. Meanwhile, many people are skeptical of the claims that the doll is possessed.  A statement from NESPR stated that the tour would continue. “We believe with all our hearts that Dan would have wanted the work to continue — bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and honoring the memory of Ed and Lorraine Warren,” it said. “We will carry his spirit in everything we do.” Colleagues of Rivera also called out commenters who tried to claim that his death was in some way staged to drum up interest for the tour.  “Ghost Hunters” star Jason Hawes shared his thoughts on Facebook, saying, “The world lost a good man. “Dan Rivera was an Army veteran, a father of four, a husband, and someone who truly cared about people,” he wrote. “What’s even harder to see right now are the posts blaming his death on things like the Annabelle doll and attacking places like Ghostly Images of Gettysburg Tours and other locations for having events. That needs to stop. “His family shouldn’t have to read that kind of nonsense while they’re grieving,” Hawes added. “Some people are using his passing to push an agenda for profit, and it’s just disgusting. Dan was a family man, a respected paranormal investigator, and he left this world way too soon…Honor the man. Forget the garbage.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that President Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein “hoax” comment was in reference to Democrats seizing the Epstein hysteria after showing little to no interest in the case for years. On Wednesday, Trump blasted his “past supporters,” whom he says have fallen for a “hoax” pushed by Democrats by focusing on the Epstein case. Asked by Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich to clarify what Trump meant by calling the Epstein case a “hoax,” Leavitt said during Thursday’s White House press briefing, “The president is referring to the fact that Democrats have now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make.” “The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn’t do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes. It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the attorney general to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did,” she added. Leavitt argued that the investigation into the Epstein files was led by “great patriots” and “some of the most trusted voices in the Republican Party movement,” referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Last week, the DOJ concluded that it did not find evidence of a client list existing and concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell in 2019. “They spent many months going through all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, and they concluded what they found in that memo, which they drafted and they released,” Leavitt said. “So the president has been transparent. He has followed through on his promises to the American people, but he doesn’t like to see Democrats and the mainstream media covering this like it’s the biggest story that the American people care about.” Democrats have latched onto the issue to attack Trump, voting in the House to release the Epstein files, a move that Republicans called a political stunt and a power grab. Later during the press briefing, Leavitt said that Trump “would not recommend a special prosecutor” to look into the Epstein case, adding that “the idea was floated from someone in the media.” The president would be open to revisiting the case further if the DOJ or FBI find any new information, according to Leavitt. Earlier this week, Trump called those focusing on the Epstein controversy “pretty bad people” and defended Bondi’s handling of the case. Conservatives criticized Bondi after she said in February that she had Epstein’s client list on her desk, but then clarified months later that she meant that she was reviewing the Epstein files. A poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos this week showed that only 17% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the Epstein case. Among Republicans, 35% approved while 30% disapproved, and the rest said they were unsure or didn’t answer. Additionally, 69% of respondents said that the federal government is covering up details about Epstein’s alleged client list.

CNN’s chief data analyst poured cold water over Democrat efforts to use division within the Republican Party — over the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — as leverage going into the 2026 midterm elections. Harry Enten said on Thursday that despite some heated discussions in the media world — and on social media — over President Donald Trump and his administration’s handling of the Epstein case, Republican voters were not quite as divided as Democrats might have hoped. “X isn’t real life. Post-Epstein saga, Trump’s approval with the GOP (~90%) may actually be slightly up,” Enten captioned a video of a recent broadcast. “He’s at/or near his apex w/ the GOP. How? Just 1 respondent said Epstein was the top problem facing the U.S. Cong Dems, OTOH, are at their worst standing with Dems ever.” X isn’t real life.

If anything, they’re going up!” Enten told host Sara Sidner. “Republicans who approve of Trump, look at our CNN poll, the prior one, 86%. The one out this week, 88% with Republicans. How about Quinnipiac? The prior poll, 87% approval for Republicans. This week out, 90% with Republicans. If anything, Donald Trump’s approval rating has gone up since this whole Epstein saga started. He is at the apex, or close there to, in terms of his popularity with Republican voters, Epstein files complaints or not.” “Is there any reason that you can find that this hasn’t taken hold and hurt him?” Sidner asked. “Yeah, I mean, on X, all you hear about is the Epstein files. But how about out in the real public? Republicans who said the top issue was Epstein case, the answer is one, one, and not 1%. One respondent. This is a great little finding that Ariel Edwards-Levy, who of course is part of our polling unit, found,” Enten continued. “Just one single Republican said that the nation’s top problem is, in fact, the Epstein case. Not much of a surprise that therefore Donald Trump’s approval rating has not suffered with Republicans because of the Epstein case, because the bottom line is most Americans say it’s not up high on their priority list.” “Still, congressional Democrats have been trying to seize on this,” Sidner pointed out, noting that Democrats in office were going on and on about the Epstein files even though they couldn’t be bothered to vote even to subpoena his flight logs when former President Joe Biden was still in office. “You hear them also parroting what you’re hearing online, saying, ‘Release the files, this is terrible, blah, blah, blah.’ I mean, is that working for them?” “No, I mean, look, here’s what’s so important,” Enten said, turning to the Democratic side of things. “You know, we talk about the potential of Republicans leaving Donald Trump. They’re not leaving him. But what about congressional Democrats and problems with their own base? Democrats’ net approval of congressional Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University, in June of 2025, it was their second worst ever at -12 points.” “Is that not low enough for you? How about we go even lower? In July of 2025, -13 points, their worst net approval rating for congressional Democrats among Democrats ever,” Enten continued. “Donald Trump is not the one who has problems with this political base, it is congressional Democrats that are the ones who have problems with their own political base.”
