'I was like, what?! Two rich people got married? I bet those were some beautiful protests,' Ruffin joked. 'And they were! I'm sorry, but can you imagine people disliking you so much they protest your wedding?!'
'People protested your wedding and you're not even gay,' she continued. 'That's how you know you're bad.'
There were indeed a variety of protests in Venice leading up to and during the wedding, which spanned three days in total, including a march where people chanted ''Bezos, f–k off, out of our lagoon!'
Activists also rolled out a massive banner in St. Mark's Square, with a photo of Bezos and a caption that read 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.' Additionally, there were even dummies created to look like Bezos, with one shoved into the Venice Canal attached to an Amazon box and clutching cash in its hands.

THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER Episode 10 Sneak Peek: It's Slammer Time!
One thing we can always count on with The Librarians: The Next Chapter is that the episode titles are epically straightforward. If the title is 'And the Ghost Train,' there's a ghost train. If it's 'And the Hangover From Hell,' they'll experience a hangover (of sorts). When the title is 'And Going Medieval,' it ain't no euphemism. They are literally going back to medieval times. RELATED: Catch up with our recap of the previous episode of The Librarians: The Next Chapter , 'And the Feast of the Vampir' In the sneak peek clip below, Vikram (Callum McGowan) has done something to strand the team in medieval times, and they aren't happy about it. So, not a team-building, mutually agreed-upon excursion. Image Credit: TNT The Librarians: The Next Chapter, 'And Going Medieval' With the season finale around the corner(!), it's not surprising Vikram's pulled a time travel stunt. After all, we never thought he'd give up on returning to Anya (Olivia Morris), did we? And in Season 1 Episode 9, 'And the Feast of the Vampir,' he gave off major on-the-edge-of-something-big vibes. RELATED: TV Review: The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 1 Some fun details in this jailhouse clip. Vikram trots out his linguistic skills, chatting up the other inmates in what Connor (Bluey Robinson) identifies as a derivation of Albanian. However, Connor is less enthusiastic than we'd expect with time traveling. He definitely seems skeptical of Vikram's translation. An interesting development, considering how devoted he's been to Vikram's mentorship until now. Image Credit: TNT If we are to believe Vikram's intel-gathering, they are in the better of the two detention centers. The other is inside the stone fortress and referred to as a torture chamber. Charlie's (Jessica Green) concern with germs might be a moot point if they end up somewhere more … sharp. RELATED: Dean Devlin Dishes on The Librarians: The Next Chapter 's Magical Homecoming But the real meat of the story is in the episode's logline: When Vikram attempts to return to 1847, he inadvertently travels the entire team back to the days of King Arthur, where they learn the truth about a Knight of the Round Table, Camelot, and … Elaine. Image Credit: Aleksandar Letic Oh, yes. Elaine. As in Elaine Astolat, aka Mrs. A. Did you take my advice all those weeks ago and research her name? If you did, you'll know why her truth lies in medieval times. Such a fantastic twist, да? RELATED: Read our recaps of The Librarians: The Next Chapter The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 1 Episode 10, 'And Going Medieval,' airs on TNT on Monday, July 21 at 9 pm ET. On Location: The Belgrade Fortress on TNT's THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER Diana lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where she invests her time and energy in teaching, writing, parenting, and indulging her love of all Trek and a myriad of other fandoms. She is a lifelong fan of smart sci-fi and fantasy media, an upstanding citizen of the United Federation of Planets, and a supporter of AFC Richmond 'til she dies. Her guilty pleasures include female-led procedurals, old-school sitcoms, and Bluey. She teaches, knits, and dreams big.

Why Jet2's Jingle Became TikTok's Surprise Summer Travel Meme
Jet2's viral TikTok moment highlights the unpredictable power of nostalgia and remix culture, where even the most mundane creative assets can supercharge brand awareness. British travel company Jet2 is having a viral moment many marketers could only dream of. The firm, known for its family-friendly package holidays and vacation flights, has found itself at the center of a TikTok storm. A years-old advertising jingle, featuring Jess Glynne's 2015 hit 'Hold My Hand,' has been repurposed as the unofficial social media soundtrack to summer 2025. What started as a fairly standard example of British online humor has become a global megatrend. The international phenomenon is particularly curious given Jet2's route network is focused on the UK market. The company caters almost exclusively to outbound British leisure travelers, meaning most of the world has little familiarity, let alone loyalty with the brand. Why Has the Jet2 Ad Gone Viral? The simplicity of the 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday' messaging, combined with Glynne's catchy pop beat, has made it ripe for a Gen Z remix. Global TikTok creators are embracing travel schadenfreude, with vacation fails set to the infectiously cheery voiceo
