49 People Going Through It Who Made Me Laugh A Lot
Look, we've all had times when we've been going THROUGH IT. And when it's happening to us, it's not very funny. But when it's happening to other people? Well, it can be hilarious! (Does admitting that make me a monster? I think it might.) Well, if you're a monster like me, here are 50 people who are REALLY going through it (and also really funny): This boyfriend after his autocorrect disaster: This clown-hating diner at a restaurant where Mr. Giggles (or whoever) kept popping up on the digital menu: And this grade school teacher trying like hell to remember her students' names: This fast food manager stuck dealing with some not exactly A+ employees: This Great British Bake Off contestant hanging on by a thread: And this TMI dad having a really crappy time: This hungry person after coming outside and seeing their McDonald's order: These dudes at a Burger King in the middle of the night: And this truck driver after his epic mishap: Oof: Double oof: And — you guessed it — triple oof: This unpopular OnlyFans model: This wrong number texter: And this down bad dude who is WAY too attached to their AI: This realtor struggling to sell this house: This guy passed out at a wedding: And this dude who ended up in the ER when his hemorrhoid burst — and then got this gift from a smartass friend: The guy who got this message after throwing out his back: This guy and his Grammy throwing a fit over Beyoncé's win: And this crack user struggling with inflation like the rest of us: This guy getting scammed: Whoever this computer belongs to: And this Southeast Asian in the Netherlands struggling with the height This teacher who is OVER Gen Z slang: This teacher trying to survive with the worst possible name for teaching teenagers: And this employee who REALLY hates that her company's name tags only use an initial for the last name: This struggling math student trying — and failing — to use Jesus to pass a test: This kid after the cringiest prom ever: And this person who doesn't need an app pointing out how boring their life is: The kid who wrote this "when I grow up" section: This professor who seems like they're going through something: And the student who posted this — and just might be in the above professor's class: This tired neighbor: The partners at this bank: And this dude who dropped a part on his foot and broke it (but at least he got this care package from a co-worker): This at least she has this guy's support (eye roll): This slug-fearing wife who found one in the house (this is how she dealt with it, lol — the note is for her husband): The note reads: "Scary slug infiltrated. Hid him in a trolley under pile of salt under glass bowl. Very sorry, but could you deal with it? Love you x." And this person was over having to constantly discuss their accident: This dude going down an angry, self-loathing spiral: Yikes: This dude who bought Tinder Gold only to get infographics like this: And this woman who did something there's no coming back from: This poor boyfriend (who is in the denial phase): And this person who is really struggling to quit smoking: This person I am sending a virtual hug to: This person who just wanted to get healthy: This person — back when they wrote this poem in the fourth grade: This arcade owner who simply CANNOT listen to another kid swear: And lastly, this person who just wanted to drive out of the garage and head home, but discovered this very intimidating kitty had other plans:

Diary from Cannes: AI's impact on business, a stalled economy, and Disney's succession
As a journalist, you never quite know what you'll learn at a conference where top executives are floating around. Someone like me — the interested observer — is always paying attention to varying things on the ground: the watches execs are wearing (they say a lot), who's wearing health trackers (also says a lot), who's huddled in a corner talking shop, and what their body language is. And of course, what people are actually telling me. To that end, I return from a week at the Cannes Lions advertising and media industry conference. The best way I can describe this event is it's as if the World Economic Forum bought LiveNation and created a rebellious sister conference. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy This year, I saw and heard a bit of everything, including from NFL great Chad Johnson, who shared he lived in the Cincinnati Bengals' training facility for the first two years of his career to save money. I didn't expect to hear that. I also didn't expect to hear this from DJ Diplo: "I have sold my music catalog a few times. You can always sell and build more. I did a 75% sale like five years ago, and I already built another catalog that I want to maybe move again, because sometimes I'd rather have capital to invest in other things." Where is he putting that fresh capital to work? He said medical devices, fintech companies, and real estate. Suffice to say, this coming week I plan to weave more observations into my new show at Yahoo Finance called Opening Bid. I will debut the show live Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET in a fast-paced format. Excited to bring you the fire (i.e., stock analysis and big interviews). You can watch here or on our app, all major streaming platforms, and DirecTV. Have something you want me to discuss on Monday? Drop me a line today on X @BrianSozzi. In the meantime, here's a roundup of things that stood out to me from my chats on the beach. "Nothing is ever really off the table, and really, the mindset of what's possible is always encouraged." "What I would say there is what's important to us is that we are able to protect our users' privacy, their deletion rights, like we have policies that ensure that when users take down a post, the post is taken down. And so it's really important, and as we've said in our terms of service, that we have a conversation with folks who have access to our data because that's a commitment that we have in terms of our policies, and it's also to know how Reddit data is used." "If I were going to advise the new CEO of Disney, I would say stay close to Bob Iger for the first six months. Really take that apprenticeship to heart because Bob is an amazing CEO — very few like him. If you can just be at his side and look at the whole company ... but get close to Bob, sit by his side, and just learn how he does things." "Look, I'm a consummate optimist, and no matter how difficult it is out there, there are holidays that come. People want to be celebrating with their families. Santa comes every year." "I think it's harder than most people realize. And the interesting thing is, for the past five to 10 years, we have been putting them together — linear TV content creates the streaming content. Now all of that has changed." "I think people are being very intentional where they spend money. It's cyclical, right? So it happens, you know, things get better, and that comes back. What we have seen is that it happens every single time the same way." Brian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor and a member of Yahoo Finance's editorial leadership team.
