Video of the Nottoway Plantation fire sparks jubilation. It's about anger and pain over slavery, too
After a fire engulfed a mansion at Louisiana's Nottoway Plantation , one of the largest remaining pre-Civil War houses in the Deep South where scores of enslaved Africans labored, video footage of the combusted landmark lit the internet ablaze with mass jubilation and consternation over the weekend.
For some, it was a moment to celebrate what they saw as centuries-deferred vengeance for enslaved ancestors. There was no shortage of memes and humorous social media posts to ignite the celebrations: from video of the plantation's burning mansion set to the R&B hit song 'Let It Burn' by Usher to other footage with the volume of burning wood cranked all the way up to trigger a cozy autonomous sensory meridian response .

OnlyFans' Tiffany Wisconsin Blames Divorce on Husband Finding Video of Her With 20 Men
OnlyFans star Tiffany Wisconsin is blaming her divorce on a not-so-common marriage hangup: a video of the 20 men she claims to have slept with. 'The reason for the divorce was my husband finding the video I did with 20 guys on our wedding night,' she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 4. The accompanying video, which she captioned, 'Hardest thing I've ever been through,' jumped from a shot of Wisconsin in her wedding dress to her crying in her car and finally to a group of men ascending a staircase, shown only from the waist down. It's unclear whether Wisconsin, 35, was being serious. Her Instagram page also includes a video with someone she calls her '70-year-old boyfriend' and other men with whom she's created content. Bachelor Nation Sex Confessions: From Courtney Robertson to Peter Weber Wisconsin launched her OnlyFans in 2020, a time in which she says she was overwhelmed as a stay-at-home mom in a marriage she was trying to get out of. 'I was browsing online, looking into ways to navigate financial independence, and stumbled upon the app,' she shared in a 2023 essay for Newsweek. 'Curious, I turned to my sister and asked if she knew about it. She thought it was a platform for celebrities, which left me intrigued.' Now, Wisconsin has set her sights on a new goal amid the growing trend of competitive sex among OnlyFans creators. She announced in May that she plans on trying to sleep with 5,000 men in the span of one week. 'This summer I was going to be a 2,000 guy challenge, but unfortunately somebody is already doing it and I don't want to copy or anything, so I decided I'm going to do 5,000,' she shared in an Instagram video. 'I know I can do it, and it's going to be really hard, but I'm not going to do it in one day, I'm going to do it in the span of a week.' Kaitlyn Bristowe Reveals What Led to Feelings of 'Betrayal' in Her Relationship With Jason Tartick 'I'm going to have a team plan [it] out and plan an itinerary. Also, I am going to need a nurse on site,' she continued. 'I am going to be needing as many men, so please share this with your friends, your family, coworkers, whoever to get the word out because I really want to make this happen.' Wisconsin found plenty of support in the comments, including from OnlyFans star Lily Phillips, the creator who made a YouTube documentary chronicling how she allegedly slept with 100 men in one day. 'Lol love you,' Phillips, 23, wrote. 'If you need help you know who to call ❤️❤️❤️.'

Trump and Musk break up, and Washington holds its breath
WASHINGTON — Maybe it was always going to end this way, with two billionaires angrily posting about each other on social media, fingers flying across pocket-sized screens as their incandescent feud burned hotter by the minute. But even if the finale was predictable, that didn't make it any less shocking. After long months when Donald Trump and Elon Musk appeared united in their chaotic mission to remake Washington, their relationship imploded this week like a star going supernova.
