Article via Mashable
Unless you’ve been hiding under a giant rock these past few months, you’ll know that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas got married.
Priyanka Chopra has since added Jonas to her name and she explained to Jimmy Fallon why she wanted to do that.
“I always wanted to add his name to mine because I feel like, we’re becoming family,” she said. “I’m a little traditional and old school like that.”
“But I don’t take away my identity, it’s added to who I am.”
Mysterious, well-liked egg’s Instagram account is all about mental health
Article via ABCNews
An egg is usually beaten, but its Instagram account whipped up a lot of buzz last month and on Super Bowl Sunday, its purpose was revealed: mental health awareness.
Instagram user @world_record_egg posted a generic picture of a farmer’s brown egg on Instagram in January and ultimately became the most-liked photo on Instagram with 52 million likes. Previously, celebrity Kylie Jenner held the most-liked spot with her birth announcement in 2018, which received 18 million likes.
On Super Bowl Sunday, a year after Kylie Jenner’s birth announcement, the intention of the egg post was finally cracked with a game-time ad on Hulu.
The advertisement began, “Recently, I started to crack. The pressure of social media is hurting me.”
As pieces of the broken shell began to fall away, the advertisement urged, “If you’re struggling too, talk to someone.”
It ended with a link for viewers to visit for more information: talkingegg.info.
At the website, users are prompted to choose from a range of global resources classified under “useful mental health links below.”
Within the United States section, there are three links to Mental Health America, CALM: Campaign against Living Miserably and NAMI: National Alliance of Mental Illness.
Prior to the advertisement’s release, the egg’s Instagram account posted a preview.
Soon after the account was created and broke the Instagram record, the account told viewers to “stay tuned,” according to a statement released to ABC News.
It turns out the intention of the egg was all it was cracked up to be as it is now shining a light on mental health awareness and people there are resources available if they are struggling.
The advertisement even ended with a message of unity: “We got this.”
Facebook will now let anyone remove messages from their chat history after people discovered Zuckerberg could
Article via CNBC
- Facebook will now let anyone remove messages from their chat history on Messenger.
- An April 2018 TechCrunch report revealed CEO Mark Zuckerberg had deleted messages from his chats.
- Facebook had reportedly said Zuckerberg would stop using the feature until it became publicly available.
Facebook Messenger is rolling out the option to delete a regretful or mistaken message from their chat history.
Facebook initially promised the feature after TechCrunch reported in April that multiple people said Facebook messages they received from CEO Mark Zuckerberg later appeared to have been deleted while their own messages remained. At the time, Facebook told TechCrunch Zuckerberg’s messages were deleted for security purposes.
“After Sony Pictures’ emails were hacked in 2014 we made a number of changes to protect our executives’ communications,” Facebook told TechCrunch in a statement at the time. “These included limiting the retention period for Mark’s messages in Messenger. We did so in full compliance with our legal obligations to preserve messages.”
Following the report, Facebook said it would publicly launch the feature to let users remove their messages from their chat history. Facebook reportedly said it would not have Zuckerberg delete his messages until the feature was publicly launched.
Chinese satellite snaps image of the Moon from the side we never see
Article via BGR
The Moon dominates the night sky and, as the closest large body to Earth, we get to see it plenty. Unfortunately, since the Moon only shows us one face thanks to its tidal lock with Earth, and its far side is rarely the subject of photography.
Now, thanks to China’s efforts to learn as much as possible about the least-studied side of the Moon, we have a brand new view of it. The image, which was captured by the Longjiang-2 satellite that was sent skyward last year, even features Earth photobombing scene in the background.
The tiny imaging satellite was sent into space as part of China’s Chang’e-4 mission preparations. The country’s space agency sent communication hardware into lunar orbit so that it could relay information back and forth between the lander and rover on the Moon’s far side and engineers back on Earth.
After a radio-quiet period to avoid interfering with the Chang’e 4 Lunar landing, [Longjiang-2] became active again on 13 January 2019. The first opportunity to take photos of Earth and Moon were on 3 February, on which a command was sent to take another timelapse. The first image from this timelapse was downloaded with the Dwingeloo telescope on February 4, 2019. For the first time, it the entire Moon and Earth are in view.
In this image, we get a birds-eye view of the the Moon’s “backside,” complete with a wealth of interesting features that we don’t often get to see. Meanwhile, the tiny sphere of Earth is visible in the bottom right, appearing bright blue against the pale monotone of the Moon.
As space agencies like NASA gear up and renewed interest in Moon exploration grows, we might learn a few more secrets about our nearest neighbor, and will hopefully get some more lovely images like this one.

Tyra Banks is creating a tech-driven attraction called Modelland
Article via TechCrunch
Tyra Banks, the supermodel-turned-entrepreneur, has unveiled her latest venture. Dubbed Modelland, the in-person theme park-like experience will bring technology to the forefront, Banks told TechCrunch over the phone last week.
“We’re very open to partnering with and having integrations with different brands that bring technology to the forefront and make sure what we’re providing in Modelland are things you cannot do on your phone,” she told me.
The attraction will combine fantasy with interactive entertainment (think some augmented reality and virtual reality), as well as what people have come to expect from theme parks: food, events and shopping. While it’s called Modelland, Banks said it’s geared toward the masses and aims to celebrate all expressions of beauty.
“I am being very deliberate to make sure this is something families can come to,” Banks said. “I’m not creating this to service people who want to become models or are models.”
Modelland’s ultimate purpose is to continue to help redefine standards of beauty — no matter what your age, race, body size and so forth.
“I’m happy to see the world is much more celebrating of different types of beauty,” she said. “I think Modelland can be the next iteration of that.”
Modelland is slated to open later this year in Santa Monica, Calif.

Tekashi 6ix9ine (born: Daniel Hernandez) has pled guilty to nine counts in a federal crime case, WNBC reports and Pitchfork can confirm via court documents. Court records show that 6ix9ine entered his guilty plea on January 23. The counts include racketeering conspiracy, multiple firearms offenses, narcotics trafficking, and more.

6ix9ine was arrested in New York City on November 2018 on federal crime charges. The rapper’s former manager Shottie, real name Kifano Jordan, and their associates Jensel Butler (aka Ish), Faheem Walter (aka Crippy), Fuguan Lovick (aka Fu Banga), and Jamel Jones (aka Mel Murda), were arrested on the same charges.
According to the indictment, viewed by Pitchfork, Hernandez and the other defendants “participated in the operation and management of” the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
