The band Oasis is finally back together now that Noel Gallagher and his brother Liam Gallagher have stopped fighting. Anyone who cares at all about music has, at some point in their lives, heard their song “Wonderwall.” If you watched Lost, you 100% heard it.

That isn’t stopping guys online from being weird about who can and cannot get tickets to see Oasis back in action. I have seen multiple versions of this same bad joke. Men on social media are so upset over the idea of a young woman getting a ticket to go see Oasis when they can’t. Oh no, how will you survive? In the words of the younger generation, “Cope.”

Niki Gordon runs Irie Jerk, a small “hole in the wall” Jamaican restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, that sells an average of 400 pounds of jerk chicken daily. Gordon’s restaurant was not always as vibrant as it is now before a Tik-Tok star helped give her restaurant a boost to its popularity. 

According to NBC News, Nicolas Nuvan and his videographer, Jaime, spotlighted Gordon’s establishment as part of Nuvan’s focus on New York’s boroughs, which he told the outlet is often wholly spontaneous. 

“It’s just me and my filmer Jaime, and we almost never have a plan,” Nuvan said. “Sometimes we’ll walk like 30 blocks, and nothing will happen. And sometimes we’ll go out, and we’ll walk around, and something will happen. I’m just somebody that’s interested in cultures and communities and sharing with people.”

Gordon and her establishment felt the result of Nuvan’s focus on Caribbean communities in New York to his 2.3 million followers on TikTok, which she relayed to NBC News. Gordon also discussed her family’s influence on her and her work ethic. 

“I think about my grandmother, born 1915,” Gordon said. “I have two nieces who graduated from Howard University. The younger one is summa cum laude, just got her nanotechnology degree from Johns Hopkins. They are descendants of a lady that used to sign her name with the red X because she couldn’t read.”

Gordon continued, “Giving up is not an option. Had she given up, I wouldn’t be here to tell you her story of how much sugarcane she used to chop. So, they have to persevere. She chopped sugarcane so I wouldn’t.” 

Nuvan, meanwhile, said that instead of idolizing famous people, more people should look to community institutions like Gordon and her restaurant for inspiration. 

“Growing up, we idolize famous people,” Nuvan told NBC News. He added that he believes that Gordon and other people in the community do extraordinary things and “are the people that we should be learning from.”

For her part, Gordon looks at the community, particularly the Caribbean community in New York, as one family that always comes together when they face challenges. 

“We have every nation you can think of — everyone,” Gordon said. “And the good thing is we all come together. One thing affects the Jamaican. It affects a Guyanese. It affects a Bajan. It affects a Trini. We just all come together. You know what I mean? Because it’s one Caribbean, and that’s what we have here in Brooklyn.”

Gordon also marveled at the fact that she has customers from every corner of the world who come to her shop to eat her chicken, telling NBC News, “I have customers from Singapore, California, London,” Gordon said. “I mean, these people flew here just to get my chicken. Miracles happen every day. And they do exist.”

Armie Hammer has—somewhat startlingly—found his name back in the headlines this week after he uploaded a post to Instagram practically begging for pity. So how did we get here, exactly?

It was the celebrity scandal that captured the attention of millions: the “cancellation” of Armie Hammer, one of the most prolific up-and-coming actors known for his roles in The Lone Ranger and the Oscar-winning Call Me By Your Name. But what was once a thriving Hollywood career quickly crashed and burned, and so far, Hammer’s “redemption tour” has been, to put it lightly, an absolute disaster.
