In “honor” of the 25th anniversary of the greatest show of all-time, the powers that be at Warner Bros. have devised a plan to carry the legacy of The Sopranos into the next generation. The episodic drama that consisted of episodes an hour in length is now being transformed into 25 second TikToks.
Is it wrong to hate this? We’re hip, we like evolving with the times, but there is something about this that is so…gross? Yeah, gross. The Sopranos should not exist within a TikTok Universe, and we love both The Sopranos and TikTok.
A coffee shop in Indianapolis, Indiana has gone viral for a “pop-up wedding” that crashed the store on New Year’s Eve.
Mansion Society Indiana reported that a couple entered the store on December 31st and “surprised” the store with a ceremony. The mansion had initially declined to share a video of the imposition out of respect but changed their minds due to a “lack of accountability” from the wedding crashers, per the post.
Viral footage captured the wild moment that a bridal party allegedly threw a “pop-up wedding” at a coffee shop in Indianapolis, Indiana, preventing the caffeine purveyor from serving other patrons. 💒
“When our barista asked your party to please move out of the way that you were blocking our customers, your photographer told us, ‘No, wait at least 5 minutes.”
Is this cute or cringey? The conversation lives on Facebook!
The band teased the song by sharing this music video, which features the same security guard, Derrick T. Tuggle, dancing and lip syncing to the track in a call back to the video for their 2011 song ‘Lonely Boy’.

Think of that snooze button as a life extender. According to new research published in the journal Sleep Health suggests that sleeping in on the weekends could actually save your life in the long run.
Researchers found that an extra two hours of sleep on the weekend can reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke by 63% — especially for people who get less than six hours of sleep during the week.
“We found that WCS [weekend catch-up sleep] in adults is associated with a low risk of angina, stroke and coronary heart disease,” the researchers wrote.
So go ahead, sleep in! And whatever time you wake, know Q101 is there for you 24/7 always streaming at Q101.com <3 Lauren
