32 Things That Happened One Year Ago That Will Seriously Warp Your Brain
The summer of 2024 feels like it was, as the Titanic meme says, 84 years ago. Looking back, it truly was another world/universe, so let's look at what life looked like way back when... Just one year ago, the summer of 2024 kicked off with the Four Seasons Orlando Baby. Moo Deng was born. She fell off hard, no offense. And everyone was trying to do that JoJo Siwa "Karma" dance. Just one year ago, Biden announced he was dropping out. Kamala announced she was stepping in. And Charli XCX had this super viral "kamala IS brat" tweet: "Brat summer" feels like another dimension. A little over 365 days ago, the Paris Olympics kicked off with a Lady Gaga performance. Hot, nerdy pommel horse guy entered our lives last summer. Simone Biles also cemented herself as the greatest of all time. Simpler times! There was the *blessed* pole vaulter. We were sharing the gun guy memes. I personally saw myself more in him: And we had Raygun. I miss her. Oh, and Tom Cruise had that dramatic Olympic entrance/exit thing. In the summer of 2024, just one year ago, Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter were still dating. "Espresso" was the song of the summer, something we unfortunately don't have now. Wicked wasn't even out yet. And everyone was talking about falling out of coconut trees. Like, this is the stuff people were tweeting: Just one year ago, the hottest MAGA accessory was a bandage on the ear. Jen and Ben officially filed for divorce. And Justin Timberlake got a DUI, and the "ruin the tour" meme was born. Believe it or not, "Hawk Tuah Girl" has only been in your life for a year. She became *popular* in summer 2024. "Very demure, very mindful" was *the* saying. JD Vance couch memes were all over your timeline. And Tim Walz was announced as Kamala's running mate (he also made JD Vance couch jokes). Just ONE YEAR AGO, Lil Jon was the star of the DNC. He did that 50-state roll call. Obama made a Trump small penis joke. And lastly, hope was in the air, like people were truly libbing out. What a time to be alive.

Why 'White Lotus' creator Mike White is returning to 'Survivor'
When "Survivor" host Jeff Probst decided to bring back contestant Mike White for the reality competition's 50th season, he knew White would be showing his hand. White, a one-time participant on the show, has since become the famed mastermind behind "White Lotus," the popular resort-based drama on HBO. "The thing that's most interesting about Mike playing for the second time is there is no hiding that he is the biggest writer, director, show creator in the world right now, and he wanted to come back and play 'Survivor,'" Probst told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Aug. 7. "So I can understand why people had a reaction." 'White Lotus' creator Mike White's next tropical island is return to 'Survivor' The long-running competition show features a group of "castaways" facing off in challenges on a remote island for the chance to take home $1 million. Among the first crop of reality shows to make it big when the format burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, it requires a mix of physical strength and personal cunning to forge alliances and read other contestants. While Probst, the show's longtime host, acknowledges the oddity of an Emmy-winning director opting to return to the dusty isles of survivordom, he thinks people aren't asking the right questions. "I'm surprised people aren't asking, 'Why is one of the greatest writers in the history of Hollywood so interested in 'Survivor?'" he told THR. "What is it that Mike is learning about humans and behavior and situational ethics that he applies to his craft? Because I think that's part of why he does it — he's out there in a real incubator of human behavior where you never know what's going to happen, but what you do know is that if you show up to play 'Survivor', you can study it." 'Survivor' Season 50 cast: Which returning players are playing for $1 million? White first appeared on the "Survivor's" 37th season in 2018, landing in the runner-up spot and gaining a cult popularity among the show's fanbase along the way. His biggest hit, "White Lotus," which channels the darker side of the human spirit and the downfalls of excess, works in tandem with his experience on the show. "When you watch 'White Lotus,' what are you watching? You're watching human behavior all day," Probst continued. "I think that's part of the reason Mike is back, and if you don't understand that, maybe you're asking the wrong question." White, a celebrated screenwriter, also penned and starred in "School of Rock" and "Chuck & Buck." "He wanted to come back and step away from his Hollywood career for a moment and play this game that he loves to see how it will go," Probst added, explaining that he thinks White is interested to see how his own newfound fame will factor into his standing among fellow contestants. "He's arguably the single best storyteller we've ever had on 'Survivor,'" he told THR. "I'm grateful to consider him a friend, because I learn from Mike every day. You're talking (about) one of the best of all time, and the fact that he said yes to 'Survivor' still brings a smile on my face.' When is 'Survivor' Season 50 airing? No official premiere date has been released, but the show's 50th season is expected to begin airing on CBS in spring 2026.
