World War Three but make it chic! Gen Z show off their military-inspired outfits 'in case they get drafted' in hilarious videos showing what 'life would be like in the trenches'
Tensions are rising on the world stage, and Generation Z is preparing for the worst to happen by devising outfit choices. As the world watches on at countries feuding in fear, the younger generations have chosen what their fashion choices would be should they get drafted into World War Three. One US-based woman, Avery, shared a selection of three outfits on her TikTok channel that she would wear in case of a global conflict, which included items such as mini skirts, low-waisted trousers, and fishnet tights. She captioned the video, which had Kesha 's Blow - with the lyrics, 'This place about blow' - playing in the background, 'First war, [I'm] kind of nervous.' Her peers took to the comment section to show support for her ensembles. 'Our generation has to be studied,' one said. Another wrote: 'Get ready with me to flirt with the enemy.' 'We're such an unserious generation. I love it,' said a third, adding, 'Ps you look so good.' Avery is by no means the only one preparing for an all-out war, and content creator Paulina, from New York, who goes by @paulinalambaskis, also shared a selection of outfits with her thousands of followers. One of Paulina's outfits, which she called 'Distracting the enemy', comprised a camo bikini paired with sunglasses, a shawl, and a pair of headphones. Another, dubbed 'Combat baddie', included a camo army jacket, a pair of micro shorts, and an off-the-shoulder brown top. Her third and final outfit was for 'Hanging in the Barracks' and included a pair of low-slung camo trousers, a crop top, and a slouchy shoulder bag. Elsewhere, Alanna, from New Jersey, spent time planning her outfits on fashion software. She sorted almost ten ensembles in total, which included high-heeled shoes, lingerie, and Nike trainers. American influencer Apson leaned into army uniform more than others and added a helmet and torn clothes to his suggestions. 'First world war for many of us - here are some outfit tips,' Apson, who has nearly two million TikTok followers, said in the caption. A BookTok influencer under the name of @readlikeagoddess shared four outfit suggestions for various occasions, ranging from 'For sneaking through abandoned cities', 'For getting secret intel from officers', and 'Camo for hiding in battle'. Meanwhile, influencer Tay McComish ditched planning her outfits and instead joked that if WWIII broke out while she had her AirPods, she would spend time dancing rather than focusing on her war efforts. It's not just Gen Z'ers but also high fashion brand Prada has also leaned into 'military chic', the Guardian wrote, with their khaki menswear collection offering 'simplicity in turbulent times.' Meanwhile, a group of individuals known as 'preppers' have revealed how they believe if the apocalypse comes, they'll be more than ready for it. As death tolls from war in various parts of the globe rise, the threat of nuclear weapons being unleashed continues to hover and fears of another pandemic are never far away, preppers have taken matters into their own hands. The survival enthusiasts, seemingly increasing in number as political unrest and tensions between nations continues across the globe, say they're preparing now for the worst case scenario - by stockpiling food, tools and weapons, burrowing bunkers and training themselves to survive in the harshest conditions. In Britain, social media pages for UK-based preppers suggest the community is quickly expanding, with some groups having more than 23,600 members. When Russia invaded the Ukraine, UK shop owner Justin Jones told The Guardian he did more than a month's worth of trade in a day-and-a-half as fearful Brits stockpiled survival gear including 'gas masks, nuclear protection stuff and potassium tablets'. The latter, potassium iodide pills, are billed as a survival aid that could counter the thyroid gland from absorbing radioactive material in a nuclear attack. Across the Pond? The same is happening. In the US, more than 20 million Americans engage in prepping, with a 2023 survey revealing that 51 per cent of the country were 'prepared for disaster'. Indeed, one constructor of survivalist retreats, Drew Miller, told The New Yorker, he was completely inundated with membership requests following the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, as Americans increasingly feared civil unrest. Bunkers, just one of many ways some engage in 'prepping', have even more recently become a status symbol for celebrities, with Mark Zuckerberg, Kim Kardashian and Post Malone among those said to have splashed the cash on post-apocalyptic accommodation. The extent to which preppers engage in the habit appears to vary. At one extreme, there's the doomsday preppers 'readying for war, martial law and a complete deconstruction of society' while others take a more moderate approach. Melanie Williams, a wellness advocate and mother-of-six from the UK, is less worried about total societal collapse, but say she preps to always ensure she's 'one step ahead'... Her well-stocked larder means she is prepared to combat most 'everyday disruptions' such as 'rising food costs, supply issues, and power cuts.' 'We have all seen how quickly things can change, whether it is global events or local emergencies. It is not about panic, it is about peace of mind and staying one step ahead,' she said. With six mouths to feed, she says she takes a 'slow and steady approach' to stockpiling, simply by 'adding one or two extra items during my regular grocery shop, things like beans, oats, or a bottle of oil.' She says she 'decants many everyday items into glass jars and containers' so that she can see what she's got, and what might be going off, all of which she documents in written records. 'Bulkier items like large bags of rice, oats, or flour go into food-grade storage buckets to keep them safe and organised long-term. Viewers took to the comment section on TikTok to share their thoughts on people's WW11 ensembles 'I regularly update a detailed inventory to cross off what has been used or add anything new. 'I keep a main pantry for everyday use, a separate one with surplus items, and a bulk pantry for long-term storage.' Melanie also 'preps' by growing her own food and by investing time in reading up on and learning life skills. 'We are also learning how to raise goats, chickens, and other animals to support our self-sufficiency,' she said. 'My boys tend to be more into survival skills, so I balance practical life skills with their interests.' It's something she's been doing for a long time, having grown up with a mother who always had at least three to six months worth of food and supplies. Though she has always taken an interest in being 'prepared', times of turbulence has also kept her motivated. She described the Covid-19 pandemic as a 'wake-up call' that amplified her approach. 'When people were queuing outside shops, I rarely had to because we already had what we needed at home. I have always kept a backup of essentials, something I learned from my mum growing up, she would always say to me have at least 3 to 6 months' worth of food and water.' While it's a lifestyle she invests a lot of time in, she acknowledged that there is a broad spectrum of people who prep and their ideologies. 'Some people are private about prepping because they worry others might judge them or see it as extreme,' she said. 'Some may also keep quiet because they do not want to draw attention to themselves, and that includes being private about what they have. 'You never really know how someone might act if they are hungry or desperate,' she said, highlighting a common fear among preppers who worry about others stealing their stock.' But for Melanie, her children are at the heart of her motivations for prepping. She said her main aim is to ensure they will be 'secure' and can have their 'needs met'.

Zohran Mamdani offers a terrifying glimpse into the future of Left-wing politics
If it can happen in New York, it can happen anywhere. Last night, Democrats in the second most Jewish place on Earth, home to Isaac Bashevis Singer, Woody Allen and pastrami on rye, elected a Corbynite mayoral candidate who has defended the slogan 'globalise the intifada'. Zohran Mamdani, the proud 33-year-old socialist who was born in Uganda and worked as a rap music producer before turning to politics, pulled off a traumatic political upset when he beat the former state governor and moderate frontrunner Andrew Cuomo to win the nomination. Until recently, Mamdani, who only became an American citizen in 2018, was all but unknown to most New Yorkers. After all, this was the city of mayor Eric Adams, the pugnacious supporter of Israel whose popularity only collapsed after he was indicted on federal charges including bribery, fraud and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations last year, all of which he denies. In hard-Left circles, however, the Mamdani was fast becoming a poster boy. The photogenic son of a professor of post-colonial studies at Columbia University ran on a platform of free universal childcare, free buses, a rent freeze and – you guessed it – condemning the Middle East's only democracy, which he has lavishly accused of 'genocide'. Predictably enough, the emetic Mamdani campaign has been fuelled by umpteen vacuous TikTok videos, together with endorsements from the usual coalition of socialist dinosaurs like Bernie Sanders and airhead celebrities like model and activist Emily Ratajkowski and comedian Bowen Yang (who once put his name to a 'queers for Palestine' letter). 'This is not just about New York, this is about the Democratic Party,' Ratajkowski said in a video with Mamdani. 'It's about the hope that we have that there is a belief that people can win elections, and not just money.' Pass the sick bag. Here was yet another expression of the unifying power of Palestine on the Left, which has somehow become the meeting-point of narcissistic progressive posturing, eyepopping sexual experimentation, race radicalism, petulant teenage rebellion, climate fanaticism, Cold-War era anti-capitalism, and amongst some the venomous cause of global jihad and the sheer hatred of Jews. With the murder of two Israeli diplomats in Washington DC in May, the adolescent rage turned deadly. With the invasion of RAF Brize Norton this month, it crept in the direction of terror. And on both sides of the Atlantic, from Leicester South to Manhattan, it is becoming increasingly political. There is no shortage of irony here. As one Jewish-American writer put it: 'I hope this puts to rest the notion that Jews control politics. We couldn't even elect a non-antisemite in the most Jewish city in America.' Clearly, if you thought the Democrats had begun to learn the lessons of their drubbing by Donald Trump last year, you were wrong. There could have been no louder howl of American rage at the ultra-progressive agenda than the 2024 presidential election. New York, that most liberal of cities, has turned itself into a battleground for the soul of the Democrats. Partly, of course, this is generational: many of Mamdani's voters were young zealots who took on the old guard and crucified them. But in the bigger picture, it is a battle between the ideologues and the pragmatists. And the ideologues are winning. Wherever you look in the West, the same pattern is playing out. A small number of hardened Islamists and their fellow travellers are reaching for the levers of power over the heads of the bovine silent majority. With the moderates on their own side unable to muster anything other than appeasement, the tide is turning by increments. History is not always written by the masses. It can be written by the fanatics. With our democratic traditions unable to compensate for the rampant radicalism and apathy muting our immune systems, we are watching our societies slip away.

Nicki Minaj appears to vent at Jay-Z's Roc Nation in aggressive online rant
appeared to throw shade at Jay-Z and his company Roc Nation in a series of cryptic social media posts. The singer, 42, did not directly name the rapper or any of his associates in the series of X posts - but implied she's been sabotaged professionally by the musical monolith. 'Barbz, that's the REAL reason I won't release music,' Nicki told fans in the tweet, alluding to the troubled business relationship. The singer appeared to link Jay-Z's company to certain 'distractions' that have hindered her from releasing new material. Her most recent album was 2023's Pink Friday 2. She then hit back at fans' shadow ban claims in another thinly veiled comment that seemed targeted at Jay-Z who has worked with the NFL for years: 'NFL FIRE SOME N***** & den [phone emoji].' Nicki added that an unnamed party had been seeking to damage her relationship with her spouse Kenneth Petty, saying that people are 'trying to tear a husband away from his wife & family.' She wrote that efforts to turn Petty against her have involved 'lies and friends in high places.' (Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in April 1995 and remains on the sex registry.) The rapper said her fans have informed her of a number of ways they have been impacted by the bad business relationship with Roc Nation. Nicki said: 'Needing the Barbz is @ an all time high for every distraction. So let me start talking about what I've found out. About them.' She also said that the social media accounts held by her followers were being shadowbanned in a clear effort to injure her brand, encouraging her fans to document the troubles they run into on her platforms. 'Barbz save all info on everytime you get flagged or suspended & what platform it's on. She promised the 'confirmations' would be 'real juicy.' In response to another user showing her a technical glitch on her products she believed to be deliberate, Nicki commented: 'Years of [interfering] with the way I earn my money. Years of putting ppl in harm's way. Game over.' The Starships songstress told her 27.9 million followers she felt that efforts to stymie her career reached the top levels of certain social media organizations. 'They don't want you to see what I'm liking. So that feature was demolished.' She later asked: 'Would you continue working in a field where you were maliciously being ket away from your audience while everyone pretends to be mute?'
