Has TikTok Amplified Mansplaining?

WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS YELLING, MY GUY?

Today's newsletter was written and curated by Popsugar editor Emma Glassman-Hughes. The Feel-Good 5 is a daily curation of stories we can't stop talking about. Wait, Why Is Everyone Suddenly Yelling? Introducing "Boy Volume" Almost all of Armen Adamjan's videos start with a question that borders on an interrogation: "DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN MAKE A NATURAL CLEANING SPRAY OUT OF ORANGE PEELS AND VINEGAR!?" The first time the Instagram algorithm served me one of his reels, I was instantly put off by its style — quick cuts, gimmicky edits, and lots of yelling. My crotchety inner critic told me to keep scrolling, but for some reason my fingers didn't budge.

I Tried Burrow's Sleeper Sofa to See If It's Kid-Proof With a single guest room and too many out-of-state family members to finger-count, investing in a sleeper sofa for our home was the only feasible way to get everyone under the same roof. Looking for an option that gave off main-sofa energy while still being compact enough for our small living room, I was immediately intrigued by Burrow's new Span Sleeper Sofa ($1,799, originally $2,399). The day it arrived, my kids begged to break it in that night.
