'Can't imagine how'
As the video went viral, social media users cheered the Meta CEO and wondered how he will top this tradition next year.
"I literally woke up this morning and asked myself what you were going to do this year to top off the last few years," said one user while another added: "Full send !!!! I can't imagine how you'll celebrate next year."
A third commented: "The internet now requires you to one-up this challenge every year until you're holding a live eagle with fireworks shooting off the base of the board while chugging a beer in 2030."
A fourth said: "Lol. Nothing stupid about this. I need to see more of it. Happy 4th of July USA."
Last year, Mr Zuckerberg's Independence Day video featured him dressed in a tuxedo, sipping a beer in one hand and waving the American flag in the other as he surfed, set to Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA".
Before that in 2021, he rode the surfboard in slippers, holding the US flag, with a scenic view in the background.

Why is BLACKPINK's Lisa facing 'sexual harassment' accusations from Kentaro Sakaguchi's fans? All we know about Dream controversy
Lisa of BLACKPINK recently released a visually stunning and emotionally raw short film titled Dream, where she stars opposite acclaimed Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi. While the project itself was meant to capture themes of love, loss, and longing, it's an off-camera moment between the two leads that has stirred a heated conversation online, even sparking 'sexual harassment' claims. Kentaro Sakaguchi's fans accuse Lisa of 'sexual harassment' A behind-the-scenes photo, shared by Lisa herself on her Instagram account, from the shoot of Dream has been circulating online, showing Lisa biting Kentaro Sakaguchi's arm while the two were off-camera. While many found the gesture playful, the photo has now ignited controversy online. In Japanese online spaces, some users criticised the gesture, calling it unprofessional or even labelling it as sexual harassment. One viral comment questioned, 'What if the roles were reversed?' suggesting that male celebrities wouldn't be excused in similar situations. Japanese netizens bully Lisa online Ever since the now-controversial photo went viral, some Japanese users have launched aggressive online smear campaigns targeting the BLACKPINK star. What began as criticism over a single moment quickly escalated, with individuals digging up old videos of Lisa and flooding social media with harsh comments and insinuations. These resurfaced clips—completely unrelated to the Dream project—have been used to frame Lisa in an unflattering light, sparking concern among fans who see the attacks as excessive, targeted, and deeply unfair. Many have called the behaviour outright bullying, urging others to step back and consider context before fuelling the fire. LISA receives racist commens & wishes for her to d*e EVERYWHERE: Weibo, IG, Twitter, even VLIVE where she clearly saw the comment SINCE EVER. Most ot4 are a bunch of hypocrites for being silent abt making up fake twts to drag Lisa is just the tip of the iceberg 人気K-POPグループ『#BLACKPINK』のLISAが、日本の俳優 #坂口健太郎 とミュージックビデオで共演↓恋人役を演じた2人だったが、カメラが回ってなさそうなタイミングでLISAが坂口健太郎の腕を噛みじゃれ合う↓「撮影外で腕を噛むのはセクハラ！」と主張する日本人登場↓タイ人がブチギレ(今ここ) Fans caught in the middle In the face of the backlash, many fans tried to ground the conversation in perspective: both Lisa and Sakaguchi are seasoned professionals, working on an intimate story that requires trust and emotional openness. Fans emphasised that chemistry between co-stars often requires a close bond, both on and off screen. Others pointed out that playful gestures, like the bite, may have been a sign of comfort or camaraderie, not meant to be dissected in public discourse. nah I'm acc sick ??? these japanese people are calling her all kinds of names in the qrts they're worse than the little sevens 😟😟 Lisa I need u to never work with a man again until we figure out what's going on More about Dream At the heart of it all is Dream, the short film itself, a poetic, 5-minute piece released on August 13, 2025, as part of Lisa's solo music project.

Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna's gangster drama crosses Rs 200 crore mark in India, but where is War 2?
Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6: Only a few people in their lifetime earn respect, name, fame, and money like Rajinikanth. The actor is hailed as a demigod in the South, and fans go crazy every time a new movie of his hits the big screen. Something similar happened with Lokesh Kanagaraj's film Coolie. From long queues to celebrations outside the theater halls—you name it, and it happens every time a Thalaivar film releases. While the film had a thunderous start at the box office, it enjoyed strong numbers over the Independence Day weekend, but collections have started to dip as the weekdays set in. Coolie Box Office Collection Day 6 Detailed Analysis As per early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie's box office collection on day 6 stood at Rs 9.50 crore. Coming to Coolie's box office collection on day 1 and 2, the movie minted Rs 65 crore and Rs 54 crore, respectively. Coolie was released in 4 languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada. The Tamil belt turned out to be the highest revenue generator. Over days 3, 4, and 5, Coolie earned Rs 39 crore, Rs 35 crore, and Rs 12 crore, respectively. Coolie Gives Tough Competition to War 2 Despite the slowdown, Rajinikanth's action drama has surpassed the Rs 200 crore mark in India, a milestone that has fans rejoicing. However, it continues to face tough competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which hit theaters on the same day. Coolie Movie Review Coolie movie review by reads, 'Overall, Coolie aspires to be a mass entertainer but is hindered by a fragmented storyline and underdeveloped characters. The ensemble cast's potential is largely untapped, and the narrative's lack of focus detracts from the overall experience. It misses the mark on multiple fronts, making it an unexpected misstep in Lokesh's otherwise strong filmography.'
