#Adele

o   Celebrities from Kelsea Ballerini to Bebe Rexha have had items thrown at them while on stage recently and Adele has something to say about it.

o   During one of her recent shows at the Weekends with Adele residency she said, “Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting [effing] show etiquette at the moment?  People just throwing [stuff] on stage, have you seen them?"

o   She then added, quote, "I [effing] dare you.  Dare you to throw something at me and I'll [effing] kill you."

o   The irony was that she said this while holding a T-shirt gun . . . which she then proceeded to fire into the audience.

#Threads

o   It’s the new social media app that’s being called “the Twitter killer.”

o   Meta launched their version of the app called Threads yesterday and more than 5 million people signed up for it in the first 4 hours of the app’s launch.

o   Threads is linked to Instagram, which has about two billion monthly active users.

o   To join the app, type the word “threads” in the search bar of your active Instagram account.

o   The new app allows users to create Threads accounts with their Instagram usernames, as well as connect with people they follow on the image-based platform.
