The iconic phrase "May the Force be with you" has been spoken 24 times across the Star Wars live-action films, according to Yahoo Entertainment. However, the origins of the playful twist, "May the 4th be with you," may surprise you. While it was first used in headlines for July 4th back in 1978, the first official use of the phrase came in May 1979, when the U.K. Conservative Party ran an ad celebrating Margaret Thatcher's election as prime minister.
Since then, "May the 4th" has evolved into a beloved fan tradition, becoming the unofficial holiday of the Star Wars universe, as reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

Loewe's Tomato Clutch Is Summer 2025's Most Absurd IT-Bag
Loewe's tomato clutch bag is actually a product of irony born out of the internet. It is crafted out of nappa lambskin and is detailed with a gold-detailed stem on its crown. All in all, it has the appearance of a pretty trendy and unserious accessory that has been crowned as the it-bag of the season. Instagram पर यह पोस्ट देखें LOEWE (@loewe) द्वारा साझा की गई पोस्ट Originally handcrafted as a part of Paula's Ibiza 2025, this bag which was once the subject of memes has proven that the creative director Jonathan Anderson has the guts to turn viral memes into real time on trend IT-fashion pieces. An X user once thought that an heirloom tomato was in perfect synchronisation with Loewe's vibe. The next thing we know is that, JW Anderson made this a reality. Thus was born, the Loewe tomato clutch. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jonathan Anderson (@ The Loewe clutch is made of out a moulded metal frame that is covered in lambskin. What's more, it mirrors the fruit's natural folds and texture. A gold leafy and stem-like crown doubles up as a top-handle and a clasp for the arm candy. But there still remains the question of whether the Loewe tomato clutch is buy-worthy? Apart from being rather ridiculous, the Loweve clutch has proven to be 'add to cart' worthy. Loewe has crafted a luxe meme that is actually wearable designer piece.

Massive military parade celebrating US Army organised on Trump's birthday
A grand military parade will be held on June 14 in Washington, DC, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army. The parade event will coincide with the US President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. During his Memorial Day address, which is celebrated on May 26, Trump called the military parade a 'great celebration' and added, 'We're going to have a great time; we are going to have a great celebration.' Big crowds, traffic, and travel disruptions are likely to be expected as the streets of Washington, DC, will be filled with fireworks, displays of troops and tanks rolling down the streets of DC. The military parade will be organised by the US Army and the America250 commission and is likely to see as many as 200,000 attendees, with Trump likely to honour what he described as the Army's 'exceptional service, significant achievements, and enduring legacy.' The military parade is one of the many events that Trump intends to host, celebrating the victories of the US Army. The estimated cost of the military parade is likely to be $45 million, according to a NBC News report. Defending such a high cost, Trump claimed that 'it would be worth it'. He added, 'Peanuts compared to the value of doing it', while commenting on the cost. He further said, 'We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we're going to celebrate it.' The event is expected to include 6,600 soldiers, NBC News reported, citing an US Army spokesperson. Buckle up for one of the most epic days in American military history as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army!
