In the latest batch of server stories, a woman decided to conduct an experiment at risk of her tips. The theory? Finding out whether skipping her makeup would actually affect how much gratuity customers give.

Unfortunately, the night didn’t end with extra bills, but with her staring out the car window like she was in a mid-2000s breakup music video. The conclusion was bleak but crystal clear: wear the makeup, because apparently, strangers can’t enjoy their mozzarella sticks unless your eyeliner is sharp enough to slice them.

A Californian woman went on a leisurely walk through her neighborhood only to see a bunch of mothballs on the ground. That was when she realized her neighbor was deliberately trying to poison dogs along the street.

“So this lady who says she’s a Christian, and is batty as hell, decided to put moth balls all over this street,” Amber (@dietcokeplsss) said. She clarified that the woman had seen a neighbor walking their pet and decided to throw the small white balls across the street to deter them.

In Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest cinematic fever dream One Battle After Another, Teyana Taylor steps into a world where chaos, paranoia, and the ghosts of radicalism collide. Black Girl Nerds’ Jamie Broadnax sat down with Taylor to unpack her role in the film, one that blends the grit of survival drama with the emotional charge of a fractured family story.

The film follows Bob, a once-fiery revolutionary who has burned out and tuned out, living in a haze of weed smoke somewhere off the grid. His only tether to reality is his daughter, Willa who is sharp, resourceful, and far more grown than her years. When Bob’s old nemesis reemerges, threatening the fragile life they’ve built, Willa disappears, forcing him into a frantic search that drags both of them back into the wreckage of their pasts.

Taylor shared with BGN how the film’s emotional stakes drew her in. Though her role remains tightly under wraps, she emphasized how Anderson’s storytelling pushes every character — even those on the periphery — to confront truth, trauma, and the way history echoes through generations. Working with Anderson, she noted, felt like stepping into a living, breathing world where every detail mattered and every moment pulsed with tension.

She also spoke about the film’s exploration of parenthood under pressure, the burden of inherited battles, and what happens when old ideologies crash into new realities. For Taylor, the project was as much about internal excavation as it was about performance, offering a rare chance to work within Anderson’s signature blend of grit, vulnerability, and surreal humor.

One Battle After Another marks another daring entry in PTA’s career and with Taylor’s magnetic presence, it becomes an even more compelling exploration of survival, legacy, and the complicated ways we fight for the people we love.
