Corgi cop loses bonus for looking fed-up at work. The internet can relate.
No one likes doing performance appraisals. But one roller-coaster end-of-year review has gone viral in China: The country's first full-time corgi police officer lost part of his Lunar New Year bonus for peeing in his food bowl and wearing a mildly discontented expression to work on occasion.
Fuzai — whose name means 'lucky boy' — put in a 'not-bad performance' last year, his trainer, Zhao Qingshuai, said as he delivered the 16-month-old's first performance review, a moment that was captured on video and widely circulated on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. In the video, Fuzai sits across the table from Zhao in a police precinct station in Weifang, a city in Shandong province in eastern China.

27 Pretty Dresses For A One-And-Done Ensemble
A midi corset dress to help scratch that cottagecore itch for the TikTok-famous House of CB Carmen dress. Except for nearly $200 less. A floral mini dress if you've gotta look really cute, really fast. Or perhaps have known about your weekend trip for six months, but waited 60 minutes before you leave to start packing. This is a sure bet! A showstopping colorful print dress that'll be the perfect, cheerful piece to wear after you got a weird sunburn on your upper thighs and they just need to breathe. A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress because I don't know about you, but I'm seeing more and more people wearing sweat-wicking workout gear on the reg while doing errands. So you'll likely reach for this super often. AND it has a few shorts underneath and a built-in bra! A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (I own it in black and wear it at least once a week — including to a club in Havana!) A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings. A wrap dress can let ya show lots of leg while you sip an aeperol spritz at a cafe. 'Tis the season! A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy style. A one-shouldered frock prime for that early-June wedding you've got on your schedule where you'll see a ton of old college buds and, therefore, will have a horde of pics from it after. A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops. A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered. A *pocketed* maxi will be super easy to wear, even if your plans for the day is to just roll around on the floor with the puppy. (Yeah I'm bringing up the puppy again. Am I invited?) A halter-neck sundress in a maxi silhouette and a variety of patterns to help elevate your grand entrance — even if it's just popping in the store to buy some TP. A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about. A floral maxi dress can satisfy the Debbie Jellinsky part of your personal style. (Joan Cusack is such an icon in Addams Family Values). An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. (Aka, most summer days.) A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation. A linen-blend dress with an oversized fit, wide-scoop neck, and POCKETS, so you'll probably want a few for the season. A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office. A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a skirt. This gives you that look for half the effort. A colorful print in your choosing — there are 23 of 'em! — with a peekaboo keyhole at the bust for a lil' extra something something. A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints. A linen babydoll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight. A cherry-picked frock in case you need yet another '90s-inspired thing in your closet. Yes, yes you do need it. Trust me, I bought it two summers ago and have worn it at least a dozen times since. An airy nap dress I own and plan to wear as much as possible. It's super easy to adjust the puff sleeves from on- to off-the-shoulder to fit your mood. A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn. A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray is always a great idea.

Woman Worries About Telling Family She's Gay, Shock at What Happens Next
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 Sacramento, California, woman was concerned that her family wouldn't accept her sexuality, but what happened next took her by surprise. Dipika Dutt (@itsnotpika) who was born in Fiji, posted a clip on TikTok with the text overlay: "What if my Indian family doesn't accept me being gay." The clip then cuts to a heartwarming scene with Dutt's girlfriend, Mary, sitting next to her grandmother, who feeds Mary a bite of food, while smiling and laughing together. Split view of Dipika Dutt reclining, and her girlfriend and Indian grandmother eat at the dinner table. Split view of Dipika Dutt reclining, and her girlfriend and Indian grandmother eat at the dinner table. @itsnotpika "I never thought I would find someone that I can bring home to my family, but I knew when I did do it that they would be the one," the 27-year-old told Newsweek. "It makes me overwhelmingly happy that they love her so much—even more than me sometimes. I'm glad they gave her a chance." Telling her family she was gay wasn't easy—her mom and sister were the first to know. "They were more shocked than anything," Dutt told Newsweek. "When it came to my brothers, it was really awkward. One day, I just came over to my brother's house with [Mary] and everyone was really quiet." Thankfully, the silence didn't last long. Despite Dutt's fears—especially considering she was the first openly gay person in her Indian family—acceptance came more quickly than she ever expected. "I expected it to be very bad but, honestly, once they met my partner, they all fell in love with her and accepted it very quickly," Dutt said. "Even my grandma, she was in shock, but once the shock wore off, she was so happy for me. It made me realize, if someone loves you, all they want is for you to be happy, and that's exactly what my family did." Dutt's clip has been viewed over 742,000 times and received hundreds of comments from other users; they were overjoyed for the couple who have been together for almost six years. "I love this for you guys," one user wrote. "OMG [oh my God] the genuine joy in your grandmother's face," another posted. The clip also sparked some skepticism. "A lot of people actually don't believe that my grandma thinks that's my [girlfriend]," Dutt told Newsweek. "They think that my grandma assumes she's just a friend—probably because, [in] Indian culture, it's very hard to come out to your elders." Dutt has "come out" to every member of her family, and, now, Mary isn't just accepted—she is a beloved member of the family. "If I come to a family event without Mary, they always ask where she is, and they blow up her phone saying they miss her," Dutt said. "I love sharing things like this because I'm so proud of my family."

Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis are totally unhinged in this campy '90s comedy — stream it free on YouTube
'Death Becomes Her' fooled me the first time I saw it. I saw the weird effects and the hole in Goldie Hawn's stomach, and wrote it off as a glossy, over-the-top comedy. But after rewatching it years later, it's clear this movie knew exactly what it was doing. "Death Becomes Her" is actually a razor-sharp satire disguised as a campy farce, and it's way more ruthless — and relevant — than it gets credit for. There's actually a lot of substance here. It serves up some brutal commentary on aging, beauty standards, and how women are punished for daring to lose their youth. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn go all in, and Bruce Willis gives one of the weirdest, most satisfying performances of his career as a nervous, aging plastic surgeon stuck between two immortal narcissists. People remember 'Death Becomes Her' for its outrageous visuals (or they're reminded now thanks to its popular Broadway-inspired TikTok memes), but what's aged best is the writing. The jokes are mean. The characters are absurd. The message still lands. It predicted the influencer era, Botox addiction and toxic body culture with almost uncomfortable accuracy. And it's free to watch right now on YouTube. "Death Becomes Her" is a dark comedy about two women who are obsessed with youth, beauty and destroying each other. One of them is Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep), a former stage star who thrives on attention and can't stand the idea of aging. Her longtime rival, Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn), is quieter at first but just as driven by jealousy and resentment. The two have been locked in a petty and extremely toxic competition for years, mostly centered around one man. That man is Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis), a plastic surgeon who was originally Helen's fiancé, but Madeline stole him away just to prove she could. By the time the main story begins, the marriage has fallen apart. Ernest is bitter and drunk, Helen has vanished, and Madeline is starting to panic about her fading looks and stalled career. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Then Helen shows up again, looking younger than ever. That's when things spiral into madness. Madeline discovers a secret potion that grants eternal youth, sold by a mysterious woman named Lisle (Isabella Rossellini). Of course, there's a catch, and soon both women have taken the potion. Instead of solving their problems, it turns them into indestructible corpses who keep fighting, literally tearing each other apart in a war of insults, injuries, and perfect outfits. "Death Becomes Her" is a sharp, strange comedy that doesn't really feel like anything else from the early '90s. The cast is great, for one thing. Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis all play against type, and it works. Streep and Hawn are two aging rivals fighting to stay young, and Willis is stuck in the middle as their unhappy, slightly terrified plastic surgeon. And you won't find anything as crazy as Streep's performance here. If you're a fan of her work, it's a must-watch. You don't have to be into dark comedies or '90s movies to enjoy this. If you've ever watched a movie about people going too far to hold onto their youth or image, this one goes all in. The effects are intentionally over-the-top, and it might even turn a few stomachs. But it's nothing so creepy that it veers off into horror. It's still catty, lighthearted fun that only Streep and Hawn could provide. The movie also holds up better than you might expect. It moves quickly, the jokes still land, and the themes haven't aged at all. Watching it now, it's easy to see why it became a cult favorite, especially with how it balances comedy with something a little darker underneath. And I'm so glad that it's come back to please TikTokers with its Broadway adaptation. Watch "Death Becomes Her" free on YouTube
