A wedding was ruined after a woman reported to be the groom’s ex showed up and threw poo over the newlyweds. The happy couple were walking through the square outside the church in Bolivia, having just tied the knot, when the alleged attack happened. A crowd of smiling onlookers had gathered to cheer and congratulate the pair on their big day. However, a woman, not identified by name but believed to be the groom’s ex, reportedly approached the newlyweds with a bucket filled with excrement and oil. She allegedly threw the contents over the couple, covering the bride’s white dress, hair and face in the muck. The groom’s military outfit was soiled by the oily poo, while at least one guest was also doused. The woman allegedly carried out the attack out of jealousy for her ex marrying someone else, according to local media. The bride took to social media afterwards, saying that she hopes her husband’s former partner “will let us live in peace after getting her revenge”. It is unclear if the attack was reported to the authorities. One local commented: “Hahaha, that's crazy.” Maria said: “That's stooping low as a woman. No matter how damaged or cheated you feel, never seek revenge. Let him be happy with his new partner.” Paula wrote: “What a shame for the bride, she will always have this uncomfortable moment in her mind.” Jazmin added: “How ridiculous he didn't want to marry that woman for some reason...” Gabriel said: “These types of acts should be reported. We all have an ex. I wouldn’t want to see this kind of thing happen to my daughters or anyone else.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

It follows a series of recent attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia, officials say.

A Los Angeles estate sale has attracted viral attention for the bizarre interior decoration that featured some gigantic-sized items. While America is known for its weirdness and wackiness, one TikTok has still managed to shock millions of viewers after revealing a very strange estate sale that took place in the city of LA in California. The post was shared by TikToker @DJtables, who regularly attends estate sales across the state and revealed that, even for him, it was one of the weirdest ones he has ever seen. In the video, which has been viewed over 1.1 million times, DJ took viewers on a virtual tour of the estate sale, showing the rooms containing huge items such as cosmetics, soap, shoes (bizarrely hung on the wall), tools and even a massive gas lighter. As he did the tour, he remarked: “Everything this person owned was gigantic, what the heck”. Text overlaying clip also read: “Strangest estate sale with very oversized stuff.” @djtables Strange estate sale #estatesale #losangeles #la #oversized #gigantic In the comments, one TikToker was a fan, writing: “Omg I’ll take everything.” “Devastating that the collection is being separated, this should be a museum,” said someone else. Another questioned: “I’m so curious to know what the 1st oversized item they bought was that started this obsession…like was it the big spoon & fork, is that the gateway.” One person added: “I love seeing people’s personal hobbies! We are all so unique lol.” “Are you sure this isn’t a giant’s house?” someone else jokingly asked.

With a break in the playoff action, all attention turns to MLB rumors, which are focused on one key Braves pitcher, the Pirates plans, and a potential Juan Soto trade.

Imagine drinking 10 pints in a day. Achievable, for sure, but probably not advisable. Now, imagine drinking 10 pints a day for a week, a month, or even six months. The sheer size of the task – and the unrelenting, crashing hangovers – would soon catch up with you soon enough, and the impossibility of the challenge would dawn on you eventually. But not for Jon May, a 25-year-old pint slinger of the highest order, was not daunted by such a proposition. Jon has become one of the most talked-about-people on the internet after managing to sink a mind-boggling 2,000 pints in the space of just 200 days. After spending almost £8,000 on drink and putting away 360,000 calories worth, he crossed the finish line of this completely self-imposed challenge by smashing a whopping 19 pints on the last day. @j0nmay #jonmay #fyp #drinking #pints #alcohol It’s news that’s impressed and (let’s be honest) repulsed people in equal measure – and one of the world’s great boozers has reflected on his experience and looked ahead to his latest challenge in a chat with indy100. “I wouldn't really call it an incredible achievement. I’m just a drunk on the internet,” he said, reflecting on his efforts. Discussing how the whole thing came about, the streamer and content creator was egged on by one of his viewers. Soon, he was pledging to do 2,000 pints in 200 days. “I was doing football content at the time. I made another video about football and all of the comments were asking for an update. In the end, I just completely changed the content to me drinking pints, essentially.” Miraculously, he achieved the feat – and it sounds like he did so pretty easily. Despite spending £8,000 on pints to manage it, he took it all in his stride. “I was drinking the same amount before. It was just normal life, and somehow I turned it into a job.” What sort of stress did it put on his body? “I put on about half a stone. I’ve got quite a fast metabolism,” he said. “Being 25, I am essentially in peak condition. You wouldn’t want to do it if you were any younger, I don’t think. But you wouldn’t want to do it in your 60s.” Half a stone really isn't much, we're sure you'll agree, and he did put some thought into his choice of drink as well as his routine throughout the week too. “Some days I’d start [drinking] at about 11. Other days I’d start at about 4. I do a lot of volunteering in a church, and I can’t be drinking while doing that. So once I’d finished that, then I’d go to Wetherspoons. @j0nmay #jonmay #fyp #cycling #challenge “Some days I’d have about seven. Then on Fridays or Saturdays if I was watching football I’d have about 15 to make up for the fact I’d had less during the week.” He added: “I did cider as well [as lager] because that contains slightly fewer calories. It was half cider and half lager, because it gets a bit sickly if you try and drink too much of one. It was a mixture of Cruzcampo, Madri and Thatchers. Thatchers Blood Orange was my favourite. I’d never had it before.” After finishing with the task, he’s decided to throw himself into another challenge – this time, focusing on something very different. “I’m going to cycle 2,000 miles, from Portsmouth to Land’s End, then Land’s End to John O’Groats, then back again to John O’Groats. So I’m going around the country twice,” he told us. The challenge was inspired after a social media exchange with the Hardest Geezer – who is currently running the entire length of Africa. “I literally thought of it two days ago,” Jon said. “The Hardest Geezer, when he quoted me and said something like ‘the next thing has to be something a little bit more worthwhile'. So I decided to do that. I’ll train for 200 days and then cycle 2,000 miles. I’ll do it for three charities.” As ever, it wouldn’t quite be his style if he didn’t stop for a pint or two along the way. “I’ll probably stop off at some pubs. If any of the pubs want to sponsor me, that would be great.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

A woman has given Andrew Tate a special shoutout in a new video, after the controversial influencer raised her profile and led to a surge in new OnlyFans subscribers. It comes after a story was posted about the Australian model Annie Knight was posted on social media in which she claimed she slept with 300 people in a year. Tate responded to the story on Twitter/X with the comment “haram”, meaning forbidden in Islamic law. You might think Tate should have kept his nose of the whole business, but his attention has resulted in a windfall for Knight. Thanking him for inadvertently lining her pockets, Knight posted a video saying: “Andrew Tate reposted me on his Twitter and I've made $56,000 this week because of him.” The 26-year-old previously stated that she was making around $30,000 per month at the start of the year, but thanks to Tate that number is now expected to be higher. The story Tate was responding to saw Knight open up about her sex life, saying that she uses dating apps to meet new people. @annieknight78 Thanks Mr Tate ❤️ She spoke about sleeping with both men and women in an interview with Unilad, saying: "I think they both offer different things. "I think women know a way around a woman’s body a lot better for obvious reasons, but there’s something about sleeping with a man that’s intense and passionate.” She added: ”So basically, they both have their pros and cons, I don’t think I could pick one over the other." It’s the most recent headline made by Tate, after he and his brother Tristan called out Jordan Peterson for encouraging war as the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues. In a recent stream, the controversial brothers, who consider themselves anti-war, smoked and played chess as they branded Peterson a 'hypocrite'. "I find it extremely asinine and quite childish, hypocritical, and also disingenuous that people like Peterson would call for the genocide and call for war, when truthfully he would hate to be anywhere near a war", the former kickboxer blasted.

Children have begun organising their own pro-Palestine protests in Roblox, in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Twitter/X user @funnecfox shared on Monday that their fifteen-year-old cousin "couldn't join a protest so she just went to one on on Roblox." And she is one of hundreds of children protesting in virtual worlds to supplement the fact that they cannot attend protests in real life. Responding to the original announcement of such protests, another user replied with a video showing hundreds of Roblox avatars marching with Palestinian flag with signs saying "Solidarity Untukmu Palestine" ("Solidarity for you Palestine"). On TikTok, user @devotedly.yours shared footage of children in Malaysia protesting on the platform. @devotedly.yours Kids in Malaysia are protesting on Roblox for a free Palestine 🥹🤧#palestine Many adults and young people have been expressing their love and support for the children finding ways to demand a free Palestine. "Kids who can't go out and protest irl are protesting on Roblox and this literally tough me to tears and gave me so much hope", wrote one user: "The kids of today have more grit and compassion than many adults I know", wrote another: Many asked why children can show compassion and understanding but many adults in power are struggling to do so: One user also shared that this isn't the first time children have used online spaces to show support for political and humanitarian issues. "The first time I heard about Palestine was when I was in middle school [because] there was a protest on Stardom (a dressup game site), so there is very real educational merit to these as silly as it may sound."

American military officials are trying to steer Israel away from the type of brutal, urban combat the US engaged in against insurgents during the Iraq War, in an effort to keep the Israelis from getting bogged down in bloody, house-by-house fighting as they prepare for an assault on Gaza, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that while "the United States does not seek conflict with Iran," it will act to defend itself "swiftly and decisively" against attacks by Iran or its proxies, and called on United Nations member states to urge Iran not to become directly involved in the Israel-Hamas war.

Modern dating can sometimes feel like the Wild West, with apps making it easier for people to connect and providing the internet with a never ending flow of bizarre stories. One woman recently went viral after explaining her date ditched her after ordering 48 oysters and leaving her with a huge bill. Another ended up finding the wedding website of the man she had been dating for six weeks on Google. It seems the terrible dating experiences are never ending, as TikToker Chloee (@chloeemlindsay) has gone viral after sharing her date’s “outrageous” message claiming that he wishes she had less “less self-respect” so he could date her. In the video, which has been viewed more than 3 million times, Chloee shared a screenshot of the baffling message sent to her by a Hinge date. They wrote: “Quite honestly I think I need someone with a little less self respect lmaoo.” The message continued, with the guy claiming that she had her “s*** together” and essentially admitting that, because of this, she was too much effort for him. He continued: “A girl with less confidence and standards doesn’t know she isn’t being treated ‘right’ or not because she will just have whatever affection she can get (meaning I can give less effort. Not in a malicious way but yeah) and obviously you’re not like that.” In the comments, people couldn’t quite believe their eyes and that the man actually admitted to it. One sarcastic commenter wrote: “We love a self aware king.” Another said: “That text belonged in a THERAPY SESSION.” Someone else commented: “So they DO know!?!?!? THE WHOLE TIME!?!?” “Ohh?? my?? God??” another baffled TikToker said. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.
