People Are Revealing The Products They've Completely Abandoned, And These 28 Are The Most Interesting
@marisasav_ asked people on TikTok what's one thing they used to buy regularly that they'll never buy again.
@marisasav_/tiktok.com
For her, it was paper towels.
"We used to buy paper towels pretty much every week. We used to spend, I don't even know how much on them, and we will never buy paper towels again. We use napkins, we use t-shirt rags, we've created a system to phase paper towels completely out of our lifestyle," she explained.
"A six-pack of paper towels at Target costs an average of $20-22. So, that would mean about $3 per roll on paper towels. If the average American household goes through one roll of paper towels of week, you are looking at over $150 on something you literally use once and throw away over and over and over again," she continued. "This was actually one of the first sustainable switches we made in our home."

1.Dryer sheets
2.Paper plates
3.Energy drinks
4.Iced coffee

Breaking news in pajamas: Hood Anchor Ye's unique style captivates Atlanta audiences
The Brief Hood Anchor Ye, a social media personality with nearly 100,000 followers, is gaining attention in Atlanta for his raw and personal style of news reporting, connecting with audiences who typically don't watch traditional news. Ye's unique reporting style, often featuring him in casual attire like bathrobes and durags, has earned him millions of views, and he covers crime scenes and public safety incidents with humor and honesty. Motivated by personal tragedies, Ye aims to emotionally connect viewers to local events, and his work has been recognized by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens for its unique approach to community storytelling. ATLANTA - With nearly 100,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, a local social media personality known as Hood Anchor Ye is making waves in the Atlanta news scene—offering breaking coverage with a raw, personal style that's connecting with audiences who don't typically watch the news. What we know Ye, who has been seen reporting from the same scenes as professional news crews, said the idea started unexpectedly in January. While stuck in traffic on Interstate 75 during a police standoff with a man threatening to jump from a bridge, he began filming what he saw and narrated it like a breaking news report. That video quickly gained traction online—and turned into a full-time career. What they're saying "People, they DM me, they text me," Ye said. "So as soon as they hit me, I'm driving straight there. You know, I am from the city, so as soon I know where it's at, I go on the bad roads. I ain't running no lights or no stop signs or nothing, but you know I might speed a little bit," he said with a grin. His signature reporting style—often in a bathrobe, pajamas, or durag—has earned him millions of views. "I got the robe, I got my pajamas, I got like doo rag, I've got all that," Ye said. "And I just recently just added the tie just to be a little professional." From crime scenes to public safety incidents, Ye shows up, speaks to police and bystanders, and shares what he learns in real time—sometimes with humor, always with honesty. "I really just say what's the first thing that come to my mind. And if it's a curse word, it's a curse word," he said. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ye began following the news just six months ago. But a string of personal tragedies—including the death of his best friend in a car crash and that friend's brother in a shooting—deepened his sense of purpose. "It's like the same stuff that these families going through, like I already done been through," he said. "Having to pull up and then you know you see your little one laying out on the ground—I done been through that, you know what I'm saying?" Now, he hopes his reports not only inform but connect viewers emotionally to what's happening in their city. "I just thank God... to be in position to even, you know, be legit and just, you know, do something that I love doing," Ye said. "Like this journalism—like I love doing this." One major highlight? Meeting Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, who praised Ye's work and his unique approach to community storytelling. The Source FOX 5's Alexa Liacko spoke with Hood Anchor Ye for this article.

Two Chinese nationals charged with conspiracy, smuggling ‘dangerous biological pathogen' into US
Two Chinese citizens were charged with a conspiracy and smuggling of a fungus that officials said is a 'dangerous biological pathogen' into the United States. Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, were charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the country, false statements and visa fraud on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. Jian was arrested by the FBI on allegations that Jian and Liu smuggled a fungus into the country called Fusarium graminearum, which U.S. officials said scientific literature classified as a 'potential agroterrorism weapon.' The fungus causes disease in barley, wheat, rice, and maize and is responsible for billions of dollars of economic losses around the world, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The toxins from the fungus cause liver damage, vomiting and reproductive defects in both livestock and humans. Jian allegedly received funding from the Chinese government to research the pathogen in China, and her electronics had information showing her 'membership in and loyalty' to the Chinese Communist Party, according to the complaint The complaint also alleged that Liu works at a Chinese university where he researches the pathogen and that he initially lied but later admitted to smuggling the fungus through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport so that he could keep researching the pathogen at a laboratory at the University of Michigan, the school Jian, his girlfriend, works at. 'These individuals exploited their access to laboratory facilities at a local university to engage in the smuggling of biological pathogens, an act that posed an imminent threat to public safety,' said Cheyvoryea Gibson, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit field office. Jian appeared in federal court in Detroit on Tuesday. 'This case is a sobering reminder that the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply, which would have grave consequences… putting American lives and our economy at serious risk,' FBI Director Kash Patel said in a Tuesday statement on social media platform X. A University of Michigan student, Haoxiang Gao, who is a Chinese national, was charged with illegally voting in the U.S., according to a complaint unsealed on Friday.

US Navy to rename ship honouring gay rights leader and veteran Harvey Milk
The US Navy plans to remove the name of gay rights leader and Navy veteran Harvey Milk from one of its ships, and may change the titles of other vessels honouring civil rights leaders. The plans were outlined in documents obtained by BBC's US partner CBS News that show a timeline for when the renaming of USNS Harvey Milk would be shared with the public. It comes during Pride Month in June, an annual commemoration of the LGBT community that coincides with the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in 1969. The directive also comes amid a broader movement by the Trump administration to curb programmes that promote diversity and inclusion across federal departments. Sean Parnell, a spokesman for the Pentagon, told CBS on Tuesday that the renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk is to realign the US military with the Trump administration's goal of "re-establishing the warrior culture" in the armed forces. The memo calls for Navy Secretary John Phelan to select a new name for the fleet oiler. That name change would then be communicated to other senior US Navy officials after a legal review. It also outlines other vessels recommended for renaming, including the USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, named after the late liberal Supreme Court justice, and the USNS Harriet Tubman, named after the American slavery abolitionist. Harvey Milk is known for being the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, winning a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was assassinated 10 months after he was sworn in. The push to rename the USNS Harvey Milk comes after a directive issued by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth earlier this year instructing US military personnel to stop hosting events tied to heritage or awareness months. This directive banned resources and manpower from being used on events like Pride Month, Black History Month and Women's History Month, citing concerns that they would undermine unity in the military. US President Donald Trump also issued executive orders earlier this year that banned diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the government, and that made it official US policy to recognise two sexes, male and female. Supporters of DEI programmes say they address historical underrepresentation and discrimination against certain groups, including racial minorities, but critics say such initiatives are themselves discriminatory. The move to rename the Harvey Milk and other ships has been criticised by prominent Democrats, including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. In a statement to CBS, Pelosi called the move a "vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American dream". Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X on Tuesday that Hegseth "should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately."
