College students use legal tactic to block people in real life
Colleges across the United States are experiencing a new epidemic of in-person blocking on campus, as 'No-Contact Orders' become a familiarity among students. Carnegie Mellon University, Lafayette College, and Georgetown University, are just a handful of institutions that adopted the 'No-Contact Order,' which keeps students in conflict from interacting. NCOs became more widely available in 2011 as a way to protect students who were victims of sexual harassment or assault without having to endure the legal system. Now, students are using NCOs far differently as the relaxed phrasing standards have made them easily accessible for a range of relationship troubles. Roommate spats, failed friendships, or bad breakups have become the new targets of the orders. Howard Kallem, a former attorney at the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights and administrator at both Duke University and UNC Chapel Hill, told the Wall Street Journal: 'At least at Duke, it wasn't hard for a student to request a no contact order and get one. 'They were considered non disciplinary, and the standards weren't particularly high.' At Carnegie Mellon, for example, a student can get an NCO by claiming to be 'the recipient of persistent unwanted or harassing contact by another student,' including 'indirect contact through third parties'. At Tulane University, the orders are 'based on the right of every Tulane community member to avoid contact with another community member if such contact may be harmful or detrimental'. And while the orders are not disciplinary, it is noted that 'a violation of this order could result in an immediate interim suspension' and conduct charges against you. One Tulane student received notice that an order had been placed against her, and she was sent into a panic. May, who asked to be identified by her middle name, told the WSJ that she and her roommate hadn't got along well. She said her roommate told her it was her 'life goal to sabotage someone'. But after hearing that May didn't like her, the roommate posted a note telling her to change rooms immediately. Several days later she received the order, which resulted from her ex-roommate telling administrators that she feared for her safety. For their next four years, they stayed well clear of each other. 'It was like a bad breakup,' May told the outlet. 'This person used a system that is supposed to do good in the world and used it against me,' she added. Some schools, such as Bentley University, cite 'psychological harm' as a valid reason for an order. Others, such as Carnegie Mellon, say 'problematic interactions' can constitute grounds for an order. Sociology professor, David R Karp, told the outlet: 'Schools hand them out like candy. We generally know that students are increasingly fragile and conflict-averse, which leads to an increased desire to request a no contact order.' One administrator at a public university said that the new generation of students tend to view other people as either hurtful or helpful with very little wiggle room. Younger generations have also become much more accustomed to therapeutic buzzwords and 'self-care,' often leading to an increased culture of black and white labels and quick reactions with shallow understanding. Many have said the increase in NCOs have come in the last eight to ten years, as political polarization, social justice movements and increased discussions on mental health and societal issues has increased. Several schools have seen many NCOs being created in relation to race, ethnicity, religion and political issues. One student, Dylan Jacobs, said he received an order in 2024 which kept him from contacting any member of the campus Students for Justice in Palestine. According to Jacobs and the Anti-Defamation League, which filed a letter on his behalf, the order put Jacobs at risk for disciplinary action as he had no way of knowing every member of the organization, WSJ reported. Many have grown concerned that the new use of the orders could create the 'weaponization' of Title IX policies. The fears grew after two student journalists were served NCOs after covering pro-Palestinian protests. Brian Glick, the president-elect of the Association of Student Conduct Administration, told WSJ: 'I've been in this field for 20 years, and the desire for administrative intervention has increased just as the number of students saying, "I am feeling unsafe" has increased.' Caroline Mehl, co-founder and executive director of Constructive Dialogue Institute said: 'This generation of college students grew up in an echo-chamber world where they could block or filter out voices they disagree with. 'They're bringing online communication norms to the real world.'

Miley Cyrus fans fume after singer 'bullied' into singing at movie premiere
Miley Cyrus' new movie, Something Beautiful, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, but some fans were not pleased with the event as they were expecting a concert Miley Cyrus graced the Tribeca Film Festival with her presence, but the event didn't quite hit the right note with some fans. At the premiere of Something Beautiful, set for a one-day cinematic release on June 12, Miley took to the stage for a Q&A session. However, some fans in the audience felt duped, with one shouting out, "We thought this was a concert," and revealing a hefty price tag: "We paid $800." The songstress tried to stay focused amidst the commotion, even as another attendee questioned: "Are you actually going to sing?" Eventually, she gave in, delivering an impromptu rendition of The Climb while remaining seated. Miley turned heads in a stunning netted dress adorned with spaghetti straps and a daring neckline, topped off with a luxurious cream fur shawl that swept the floor. Her hair styled in flowing waves and her makeup fully on point, she certainly looked the part. Online reactions to the disruptions were critical, with one user on X, previously known as Twitter, commenting: "Oh this is not it those people should have been removed. Poor Miley a concert is cool but getting to hear your fav talk about the creative process is such a gift? ? ? ? ?", reports the Mirror US. Another chimed in with a dose of sarcasm: "The girl who spent her rent on this and felt scammed, what was her plan exactly? Assuming this was indeed a concert, will she be in the comments like 'THE BEST NIGHT EVER, so worth being homeless for!'. As if it wasn't stupid enough to put in $800 without doing any research. "These people are so trashy omg... it's a FILM festival, with a FILM premiering, and a CONVERSATION with Miley afterwards... at no point was it advertised as anything else," vented one fan. Another chimed in, "Pandemic ruined peoples manners or something. No common sense. No idea what they're buying." And another gasped: "What they did to Miley Cyrus at the TriBeCa Film Festival was absolutely disgusting. Grown adults bullying & harassing her like that and nobody cared to stop it." Miley took to Instagram following the event and was once again backed by online users. She shared a reel of images and wrote: "Sending you all of my love, to show how much I appreciate sharing the experience of releasing my visual album @tribeca together xo tonight truly was Something Beautiful. Thank you." Fans in the comments section apologised for the actions of those in the crowd, with one telling the star: "You were amazing. Also, you didn't deserve that kind of treatment. You managed all of the situation with gentleness and kindness like you always do. Proud of you!" The artist has been on a significant promotional drive since her latest album dropped. During a recent album signing, she cheekily took a dig at her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. As she autographed a record for a fan named Liam, she quipped that he was the "best" Liam. Since their split, Miley has found fresh romance with musician and drummer Maxx Morando. The pair have been together since 2021 and he even contributed to her latest album. On the other hand, Hemsworth has been romantically linked with model Gabriella Brooks since 2019. Five years post their brief marriage, Miley has not only excelled in her music career but also thrived personally. In an open conversation with Zane Lowe, she discussed her journey towards sobriety and its profound impact on her life and relationships.

Jeremy Clarkson bans fan from The Farmer's Dog pub
It comes after fans took online to slam the Clarkson's Farm star for the price of a pie at his new pub, The Farmer's Dog. The pub has been at the centre of the latest series of Clarkson's Farm. As well as the departure of Kaleb Cooper and the arrival of new star Harriet Cowan, Jeremy's bid to open a new pub in the Cotswolds has been the key storyline of the latest batch of episodes. Since opening, The Farmer's Dog has attracted huge crowds. Renovated by Jeremy, along with help from his girlfriend Lisa Hogan. Series 4 of Clarkson's Farm. Who do we like most? Endgame? Or Richard Ham? — Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) May 30, 2025 During the show, Jeremy reformed his collective of local farmers, who he had agreed to help out by buying their produce for his pub along with his own beef, in a bid to make sure everything sold in the pub and Lisa's farm shop could be sourced locally and with British produce while still being an affordable price. But some Clarkson's Farm fans say they have a slightly different view on what is affordable, as they hit out at the £24 asking price for a pie and veg at the new pub. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, user @kalrlk said: "Thought @JeremyClarkson wanted an affordable pub for customers. £24 for pie and veg is a bit much." @devonboy3410 said: "Dead weight for British beef is far too expensive £6.89/kg for R4L down from the record high £6.98/kg earlier in the month. I can't wait till we get US beef cuts here because British beef industry is now taking the p*** at those prices." Recommended reading: Jeremy then replied to tell them: "You are now banned from the pub." Another said to Jeremy: "@grok what would be the price in the UK to buy and raise local cows and how does that translate to the beef pie price of 24 British pounds." Jeremy replied: "Watch the show. It's explained." @cudaplumcrazy said: "Your cows aren't they Jeremy?", to which Clarkson said: "Some are. Most come from other farmers in the area and we pay a premium. We are here to back British farming. If you don't want to do that, fine. Enjoy your chlorine." The first six episodes of Clarkson's Farm 4 are now available on the service, with another two to follow this Friday.
