Millennial Man Questions Why Gen Z Are Roasting This Emoji
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Generation Z are roasting a new millennial staple, and one 32-year-old is not impressed. Michael Coale Grey, an actor, singer and entertainer based in Los Angeles, California, shared his lighthearted dismay at how Gen Z have scorned the "laughing crying" emoji in a recent post to TikTok. The hilarious video, posted on May 28 under @michaelcgrey, struck a chord with viewers online. It has been viewed more than 268,000 times to date, resonating with amused millennials and Gen Zers alike. "Millennials getting roasted for using the laughing crying emoji," Grey said in the clip, his voice laced with mock drama. "Guess know sorry I love to laugh, sorry I love to laugh and cry and cry and laugh, with my friends and live and laugh and love." He told Newsweek: "It feels like the kind of thing the internet was meant to be for, bringing people together." The millennial uses social media both for work and for fun, but as the cultural tides continue to shift under the glow of LED ring lights and algorithmic timelines, even seemingly small choices—like emojis—can become signifiers of identity and age. "As I age so gracefully into my 30s, I have really started to see the signs of becoming a member of an 'older generation,' as a millennial," Grey said. "Sometimes I get it, sometimes it catches me off guard." The emoji in question has become a lightning rod of generational tension, its meaning apparently having evolved. What once universally represented "I'm laughing so hard I'm crying," is now, according to many younger TikTok users, passé. Some members of Gen Z now consider it outdated, opting for skull emojis to indicate their virtual laughter instead. "I started to see more Gen Z friends of mine talking about how the 'crying laughing' emoji is a 'millennial favorite,'" Grey said. "I felt that beautiful terror that comes with realizing you're getting older. Kind of like the emoji version of using aging cream or dyeing your hair." For a while, Grey said he even stopped using it, but eventually, he reached a turning point. "I caught myself holding back from using the emoji and decided—no, not again. I won't censor myself again," he explained. "I won't hold back anymore." The viral reaction to his candid video surprised even him.

Getty Images / @michaelcgrey / Hannah Hyatt "I had a feeling the video might connect with some people but it is very funny to me just how many people loved it," he said. "I really struck a chord with my fellow millennials, who, understandably so, are clearly fed up with being called out or criticized for so many seemingly insignificant details." The phenomenon is part of a broader trend where millennials find themselves under scrutiny—from fashion choices to punctuation. "After all, there have been countless articles over the years now about all of the different pieces of society that the millennials are 'killing off,' from napkins to dinner dates," Grey said. But this particular emoji moment felt less like an attack and more like a mirror. "While this emoji situation is more of an observation than a criticism," he said, "clearly, based on the comments I've gotten on the video, there's some pent up rage and defiance amongst my fellow millennials." Mostly, though, the comments have been lighthearted. Viewers have shared their opinions on how cool they think the emoji still is and how little they care about what Gen Z think, joining in on the mock rebellion. "Didn't millennials basically invent emojis," one viewer said. "We decide what they mean." "After the way Gen Z voted, they literally can not bully me into anything," another added. "I don't [care] what Gen Z has to say," a third viewer shared. "They too do things that are viewed as lame. "They are an insufferable generation, boomers 2.0, they don't know what joy is." "It's fun," Grey said. "Some jokes, some messages of support, and of course, people using the crying laughing emoji a bunch, sharing in our beautiful millennial culture."

Israel's Weapon Sales Break Record Despite Gaza Outrage
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Israel increased its defense exports for a fourth year running in 2024, the Israeli government said on Wednesday, with significant jumps in sales to Europe despite increasing diplomatic pressure and criticism from the country's allies over the war in Gaza. Israel exported a record $14.7 billion in defense products in 2024, marking a 13 percent increase from 2023, the Israeli Defense Ministry said on Wednesday. The country's defense exports have more than doubled over the past five years, according to the Israeli government. There was "significant growth" in contracts signed off with European nations, which accounted for 54 percent of the deals closed last year, the ministry said—up from 35 percent in 2023. European nations are under major pressure from the U.S. to dramatically increase defense spending as Washington makes its intention to pivot away from Europe and toward the Indo-Pacific crystal clear. An Israeli artillery unit in southern Israel moving along the border with the Gaza Strip on January 19, 2024. An Israeli artillery unit in southern Israel moving along the border with the Gaza Strip on January 19, has long leaned on the U.S. to provide much of the most expensive capabilities it needs, broadly letting defense spending drop after the end of the Cold War. European officials agree that military spending across the continent needs to quickly surge in the face of a floated U.S. pullback and warnings that Russia could mount an attack on a NATO country in the coming years. But European nations have become more critical of Israel since the Israel government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, voted to expand the Israeli military's offensive in Gaza in early May and launched intensive airstrikes and ground operations weeks later. Israel has said it seeks to occupy 75 percent of the devastated Gaza Strip. Israel's government framed the surge in demand for Israeli systems as a "direct result" of the country's war on the Palestinian militant group Hamas and its fight against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and Hezbollah in Lebanon. "The world sees Israeli strength and seeks to be a partner in it," Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement. "The new record in Israeli defense exports, achieved during a year of war, reflects more than anything else the growing global appreciation for Israeli technology's proven capabilities," said Major General Amir Baram, the director general of Israel's Defense Ministry. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after Hamas carried out its unprecedented October 7 attacks in 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 more hostage into the strip. The almost 20 months of war has torn Gaza apart, often displacing residents multiple times and killing more than 54,000 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed in January collapsed in March as Israel enforced a blockade on all humanitarian aid into the strip. Almost three months later, Israel said it had allowed some aid into Gaza in mid-May for "practical" and "diplomatic" reasons. "We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel's military operations in Gaza," the U.K., France and Canada said in a joint statement last month. "We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions," the statement continued. "If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response." The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an organization backed by the U.S. and Israel that distributes essential supplies in the strip, said it would temporarily suspend operations on Wednesday. The Israeli military separately said it was "strictly prohibited" for Gaza residents to enter the distribution areas, as roads on the way to the centers "are considered combat zones." The Spanish government has decided to cancel a deal with a Madrid-based subsidiary of the Israeli state-owned defense giant Rafael to produce 1,680 anti-tank weapons, Spanish media reported on Tuesday. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said last week that Berlin would review "whether what is happening in the Gaza Strip is compatible with international humanitarian law." He added, "Further arms deliveries will be authorized based on the outcome of that review." Last month, the British government suspended free trade talks with Israel and imposed sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Wednesday, "Israel's recent action is appalling and in my view, counterproductive and intolerable." The Israeli government said on Wednesday that the majority of the "hundreds" of defense deals it signed throughout the past year were worth more than $100 million. Missiles, rockets and air defense systems accounted for almost half of all deals, a surge from 36 percent from the previous year, according to the ministry. Israel is well known for its vaunted Iron Dome short-range air defense system, one of the many layers of air defenses the country uses to fend off different types of attacks. President Donald Trump's new Golden Dome missile defense shield for the U.S., designed to protect against next-generation, long-range weapons, is modeled on the Iron Dome. Getting hold of more air defense systems and interceptor missiles is a top priority for European countries. NATO has requested that European members build out their ground-based air defenses fivefold in the face of Russia, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday. Vehicles and armored personnel carriers made up almost a tenth of the sales, with satellite and space systems exports reaching 8 percent of the total, up from 2 percent in 2023. North America took just under a 10 percent share of the 2024 deals, the Israeli government said, with Abraham Accords countries—nations in the Middle East that have normalized relations with Israel—accounted for 12 percent of sales.

Boss Tells Employee to CC Her Into Every Email, Doesn't Go As Planned
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A manager's attempt at increased transparency by demanding to be CC'd on every client email appears to have backfired spectacularly. In a Reddit post, the woman's employee exposed her boss's shortcomings by simply following instructions. Since the post was published, it has received 38,000 upvotes. Newsweek spoke to Thomas Roulet, professor at the University of Cambridge, Judge Business School, about the situation the poster described and what he advises for the employee, who works in client services. "My manager isn't super involved, but last month, she goes 'Can you CC me on every client email? Just for transparency,'" the poster, u/Mysterious-Notice500, wrote. "So, I CC'd her on literally everything, including the emails where clients asked why she missed their meeting, or where I had to explain delays from her not sending over files." Stock photo: A woman works on her laptop in the office. Stock photo: A woman works on her laptop in the office. Daniel deThe strategy quickly bore fruit. Several days later, the poster's manager began replying to emails with, "Let's take this offline." And she hasn't brought up CC-ing since. The Reddit community lauded the employee's approach. "This is the way," one person commented. "No lies or deception, just illuminating the ugly, painful truth." Another had a similar story to share. "I worked for a guy who treated all of our customers (and, well, our staff) like he was a king, and we were just his lowly peasants," they wrote. "He pulled the 'copy me on everything' crap, and when I told a customer that we were late arriving because the manager had sent us on another errand first, the manager told me I wasn't allowed to talk to customers anymore. Talking to customers was a majority of my job." A third Redditor empathized. "Do we have the same manager?" they wrote. "She brags she doesn't micromanage, but she doesn't want us to talk to any other department, if possible, without going through her. She's horrible at timely responses because she has created so much work for herself." An Expert Weighs In Newsweek spoke to Roulet, chair in Organizational Sociology and Leadership at Judge Business School, about his take on the incident. "I love that Reddit story," he began. "It is definitely a case of micro-management that backfires. The employee was totally right to go along, and it served them well as it exposed the shortcomings of their managers—not only that they were micro-managers, but that they were also not that diligent." He added that this transparent system would also help protect the employee from misplaced blame on the clients' behalf. Roulet also shed light on the often-paradoxical nature of micromanagers. "Surprisingly, micro-managers, who are basically bad at delegating and trusting other to do good work, are often overwhelmed and struggle to fulfil their most basic work duties," he said. "The worse of them would blame it on others, leading to a high level of toxicity in the workplace, or on overwork—which is why it is a good strategy for the employees to go along to protect themselves." Newsweek reached out to u/Mysterious-Notice500 for comment via Reddit.
