These Internet Gems Saved Me From My Existential Crisis This Week
Welcome to Only Good Internet, where — like a sommelier for internet content — I pair you with memes.
I want to talk to you about bad jokes. Specifically, BadJokesByJeff. It's basically a Tumblr rite of passage at this point for one of Jeff's jokes to show up on your dash, and for you to respond, 'change your URL, Jeff.' Because, you see, Jeff's jokes are sometimes not bad at all.
IDK, maybe you've heard that one before, but I haven't! I didn't see it coming! Here's another:
Full disclosure, I'm pretty sure this one was a tweet first, but it seems like Jeff expanded it a bit and brought it away from that terrible site, so I'll allow it.
One more for the road:
Anyway, 'Jeff, change your URL' has become a meme in and of itself, to the point where the blog actually put out a poll to ask if they should actually do it:
You can follow badjokesbyjeff on Tumblr or Instagram. Laugh, groan, shake your head disapprovingly, enjoy.
…That Usain Bolt's last name is his REAL NAME, and the founder of Tito's Vodka's last name is Beveridge:
William Headline? Bill Headline??? Are you serious??? Apparently, William's last name was originally Swedish and was Americanized, but still.
The expression on this cat's face is what really sells this for me:
She's SO MAD.
Shout-out to Josiah B. for sending in this week's cursed image!
That is indeed a brick of soap of considerable size. I'm all for creative branding, but something about combining the word 'ass' with 'soap' just lathers me the wrong way…
I always like to finish every week with something that I MUST share with you, because I can't get it out of my head. This week, it's all about Drake and Josh:
Sometimes, the replies really come together and create something beautiful.
— Pa Kent giving "the talk"— Spider-Man's weakness is cocaine (canon)— Apparently the moon is upside-down in the southern hemisphere?— Old Man Yells At Cloud (it's me, I'm the old man)— Ah, I remember this classic line from Sam
That's all for this week, see you later! And remember, if you want more like this, you can subscribe to the Only Good Internet newsletter (if you want, I mean, don't let me tell you what to do, ya know?).

Toby Keith's son welcomes first baby more than a year after singer's death at 62
Toby Keith's family is growing by one more than 18 months after the singer's death. The country music star, best known for songs like 'Red Solo Cup' and 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,' died on Feb. 5, 2024, following a battle with stomach cancer, according to NBC News. He was 62. On Aug. 15, Keith's son, Stelen Keith Covel, took to Instagram to announce the birth of his first baby. 'Millie is here,' Covel's wife, Haley, wrote in the caption of the joint post, which featured a photo of Millie Brooks Covel wrapped in a swaddle next to a piece of fabric with her name and initials on it. 'We love you so much little girl,' Haley added in the caption. Covel is the youngest child and only son of Keith and his wife Tricia Lucus, who were married for nearly 40 years. The couple tied the knot in 1984, at which point Keith adopted Lucus' daughter Shelley Covel Rowland, now 44, according to People. They went on to welcome their first baby together — daughter Krystal Keith, 39 — in 1985 followed by their lone son, Stelen Keith Covel, in 1997. Toby Keith's death was announced Feb. 6, 2024, in a post shared on his website and X account. 'Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5, surrounded by his family,' the statement read. 'He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time.' The 'I Love This Bar' singer announced in 2022 that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer the year prior, according to NPR. With the birth of baby Millie, Toby Keith's kids now each have at least one child of their own. According to People, Keith's adopted daughter Shelley, born in 1980, shares at least one child with her husband. Meanwhile, his biological daughter Krystal — a talented singer herself — shares two daughters, Kirby and Hensley, with her husband, per NBC News. In 2023, Keith took to Instagram to share a photo of his family as they celebrated Thanksgiving together. As for Stelen Keith Covel, he and his wife, Haley, announced their pregnancy on Feb. 13 — one week after the one-year anniversary of his father's death. 'Baby Covel coming this summer,' the couple wrote in an Instagram post. Covel's jacket was unzipped just enough to reveal a picture of his dad on his undershirt.

Meta's AI voice translation feature rolls out globally
On Tuesday, Meta rolled out its new voice dubbing feature globally. The Reels feature uses generative AI to translate your voice, with optional lip-syncing. Mark Zuckerberg first previewed the feature at Meta Connect 2024. At launch, the translations are only available for English to Spanish (and vice versa). The company says more languages will arrive later. At least at first, it's restricted to Facebook creators with 1,000+ followers. However, anyone with a public Instagram account can use it. The tool trains on your original voice and generates a translated audio track to match your tone. The lip-syncing add-on then matches your mouth's movements to the translated speech. The demo clip the company showed last year was spot-on — eerily so. You can choose whether to add lip syncing and preview before posting. (Meta) To use the feature, choose the "Translate your voice with Meta AI" option before publishing a reel. That's also where you can choose to add lip syncing. There's an option to review the AI-translated version before publishing. Viewers will see a pop-up noting that it's an AI translation. Meta says the feature works best for face-to-camera videos. The company recommends avoiding covering your mouth or including excessive background music. It works for up to two speakers, but it's best to avoid overlapping your speech. The company frames the feature as a way for creators to expand their audiences beyond their native tongues. As such, it included a by-language performance tracker, so you can see how well it's doing in each language. YouTube launched a similar feature last year. Apple has gotten in on the action, too: Messages, Phone and FaceTime apps have live translation tools in iOS 26.

Justin Bieber impersonator dupes Las Vegas nightclub, sings on stage
The nightclub's parent company said in a statement that the impersonator orchestrated "an elaborate and multi-step ruse." Justin Bieber joined a popular DJ onstage and performed at a Las Vegas nightclub. Except that he didn't. Gryffin, a San Francisco-born DJ and music producer, was performing at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel on Aug. 16 when he was told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform, he said in a video posted on his Instagram. "His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'" a text overlay on the video read. "Little did I know I was about to be sorry." The Bieber on stage with Gryffin was not the Grammy award-winning singer, but rather an impersonator. The DJ's video added that the look-alike performed on stage for several minutes and "sounded like Justin Bieber." "biebergate2025," the DJ captioned his post. Nightclub says impersonator carried out 'elaborate' dupe Wynn Las Vegas said in a statement to USA TODAY that the impersonator duped the club's staff. "After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage," the statement reads. "As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry." In Gryffin's video, a man with a buzzed haircut, tattoos and sunglasses is seen performing Bieber's hit song, "Sorry." "Bieber in the house, y'all," Gryffin says into a microphone. Following the performance, the video shows Gryffin saying, "That was insane," before someone puts their arm around him and breaks the news that the singer on stage was not the real Bieber. "No way," Gryffin says, to which the individual responds, "Swear on my life." Justin Bieber impersonator denies trying to dupe club In a series of social media posts, a French Justin Bieber impersonator named Dylan Desclos confirmed that he was the onstage performer. Desclos's manager, Julien Colas, said in a written statement to USA TODAY that he went to the club as an impersonator and someone asked if he would like to perform. "We did many performance as impersonator," Colas said. "What have we to won by saying we are the real one? That's not our way to work. Cause, yes, it's a job. We don't want to hurt anyone."
