What Could Happen to Donald Trump After He Leaves the White House? New

What Could Happen to Donald Trump After He Leaves the White House?

Updated 10:38 31 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 10:34 31 Oct 2026 GMTDonald Trump is unlikely to disappear from the public eye when his presidency endsWhether he likes it or not, Donald Trump will have to exit the White House in January 2029.The president has long teased the concept of running for a third term, despite the fact that it's impossible under the US Constitution.The country's 22nd Amendment states: "No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once."So, with his departure drawing nearer, what will happen afterwards? Well, according to artificial intelligence, it's unlikely Trump will step back from politics.AdvertDonald Trump's presidency ends in January 2029 (Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)Trump will try and stay the face of the Republican partyPer AI, Trump could continue influencing the Republican Party, endorsing candidates and campaigning for politicians who support his agenda, even after he's no longer president.He could well influence who the Republicans end up picking as their presidential candidate – his current vice president JD Vance, for example. He seems to be keen for the position, but has admitted that there's one thing that could prevent him from going for it."We've got four little kids," Vance told CBS News about his family situation. He added: "My wife has never loved politics. She loves public service."A new POTUS could undo Trump's biggest policiesIf the Democrats come back into office after Trump, it's likely they'll undo a lot of Trump's unpopular policies, particularly those relating to immigration, climate policy and federal government operations.But it won't all be easy to reverse. AI noted: "Policies written into law would be much harder to undo, meaning some parts of Trump's legacy could remain for years."Trump may have his policies undone by his successor (Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)Trump may face renewed legal scrutinyTrump has been somewhat protected from the legal battles he's been facing while president, but these protections won't be in place when he leaves the White House in 2029 as former presidents do not have blanket immunity from prosecution.One thing may come under the microscope is the allegations surrounding him abusing his presidential power. For example, investigators could examine whether presidential powers were used for personal financial or political benefit rather than legitimate government purposes.However, the distinction between official and unofficial conduct would be crucial because of the Supreme Court's immunity ruling.Trump could launch his own media ventureIf there's one thing Trump loves, it's the spotlight, so it probably wouldn't come as a surprise to many if we continued to see his face on our TVs and all over the internet post-presidency.Trump may use his celebrity status and political following to build himself some kind of media career. This could involve launching a new media platform, hosting a regular programme, making documentary appearances or continuing to communicate directly with supporters through social media.Featured Image Credit: Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesTopics: Donald Trump, Politics, US News, Artificial Intelligence

Karl Bushby Nears Home After 28 Years Walking Around the World New

Karl Bushby Nears Home After 28 Years Walking Around the World

Updated 11:59 31 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 07:49 7 Oct 2026 GMT+1He's only got a weekend of walking left nowKarl Bushby is only a couple of days away from making it back home now after travelling around the world for 28 years.He just got back to the UK earlier this month after swimming the English Channel and since then has been trudging towards his home in Hull, which he expects to reach by Monday (2 November).At which point he'll have earned the chance to put his feet up for a little while.Along the way the 56-year-old man has had to face down hazards including the Coronavirus pandemic, a polar bear attack that almost killed him, being attacked by a mob in Peru and an incident where he had to be rescued by a helicopter, but on the balance of things he's enjoyed it more than he hasn't.AdvertHe's been pushing a card laden down with camping gear along his way, but now the prospect of home is so near he told The Independent his 'purpose and reason for living is about to end' and his next challenge would be getting accustomed to 'a society that you just don’t know anymore'.Bushby has dealt with severe weather conditions throughout his journey home (Instagram)He'd hoped to complete the last aquatic leg of his journey home through the English Channel on foot, an agreement couldn't be reached, so he ended up swimming for over 20 hours across three days in order to land back on the British beaches.Bushby said: "[It] feels good to have UK soil under my feet after all these years. It hasn't been easy, and that's part of the point; proving I'm more capable than I give myself credit for."He added: "All of us can accomplish more than we will ever imagine."HM Coastguard said it 'liaised with French authorities and maritime sector partners to ensure safety protocols were met', after Bushby's initial request to walk down the Channel Tunnel was vetoed.Bushby previously swam across the Caspian Sea (Resul Rehimov/Anadolu via Getty Images)Bushby started his journey at the tip of South America on 1 November 1998, so assuming he arrives on time on Monday it'll be 28 years and a day that he's been travelling.He started out when he wasn't yet 30, and how he's in his 50s having travelled around the world.His journey has taken him across 28 different countries and seen him travel over 30,000 miles but when he spoke from Belgium earlier this year, it seems as if his legs and his body had finally had enough, as he's no doubt desperate to get home and put his feet up with a cup of tea and a biscuit.He's certainly timed his return home well, as he will get to watch Premier League teams get mauled by the tigers in his home town of Hull.Featured Image Credit: Leon Neal/Getty ImagesTopics: UK News

Jessica Biel Reveals the Rule Keeping Son Silas From ‘Nepo Baby’ Roles New

Jessica Biel Reveals the Rule Keeping Son Silas From ‘Nepo Baby’ Roles

Published 15:56 28 Oct 2026 GMTTheir son has just appeared in a movie with his mum, but his parents won't keep that door openJessica Biel has explained that she and husband Justin Timberlake have made it clear their children won't get to be 'nepo babies' if they want to pursue a career in the performing arts.Biel, 44, has just appeared in Matchbox the Movie and one of her co-stars is her son Silas, who has a brief part in the film.However, mum has made it clear that he's not to rely on it as she told Josh Smith's Great Chat Show that while he's interested in acting and performing it'll take more than having famous parents to lock down regular roles.She explained that one of the producers asked her whether Silas would be interested in taking a minor role at the end of the movie, and Biel was reluctant to agree at first because 'we keep them away from all of this'.AdvertWhile they had concerns, Biel and Timberlake eventually reasoned that since he'd be around where they were filming and was interested in getting into acting anyway, and it 'was not a big speaking part'.Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake's son Silas has a minor role in her new movie (Gotham/GC Images)She told Smith that as a rule they weren't going to get their son roles with big parts that might be taking a job away from someone who had done the hard yards to go up for the same thing."There are kids who work really hard and they go to acting class and they're in theatre class and they're doing all of the work," Biel said."You can't just take a part from that person, just because you're my son. Like, that's not cool, we're not doing that. So this is a special opportunity because it's really teeny-tiny."If you had a big monologue I wouldn't let him do it."Those seem to be the boundaries the celebrated parents are setting for their child, in this case they said yes because a producer asked and it's not a big role so that 'made Justin and I feel ok about it' according to Biel.They were convinced to let him appear in the movie because it was a small part, but they'd have said no if he had more of a role (Jerritt Clark/Getty Images for Justin Timberlake)"You have to earn that part, because we're not starting that," she went onto say of Silas needing to earn his roles in the industry and not being able to rely on the contact book of mum and dad if he wanted bigger opportunities."We're not starting 'oh you just get handed a bunch of opportunities because you're part of this family'."On the other hand Silas did get to have a benefit from it as he met John Cena while filming the movie, which is a pretty cool thing to do while on a bit of work experience with your mum.Her son also got a lesson in what acting is really like, because during his first day he got on set he didn't get to do anything and Biel had to explain that for a lot of actors that was the job.He did get to do some work the next day.Featured Image Credit: Lisa O'CONNOR / AFP via Getty ImagesTopics: Celebrity, Justin Timberlake

Maxim Sleptsov’s Agonizing Headaches Led to a Startling Eye Discovery New

Maxim Sleptsov’s Agonizing Headaches Led to a Startling Eye Discovery

Updated 20:56 30 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 20:52 30 Oct 2026 GMTIt all started when a branch whipped across the man's faceWe all get headaches from time to time, and the cause is usually pretty harmless. However, one man discovered that his agonising headaches and deteriorating sight was due to a plant growing in his eye.Maxim Sleptsov, 42, had been suffering from bouts of inflammation, double vision and four months of crippling headaches, prompting him to seek medical advice. To the plumber's shock, doctors removed a sprouting seed from his eye in just a few minutes. But how on earth did this happen?Well, it all began during a trip to the remote Abyysky district. His plan was to visit a friend, fish and pick berries, but he picked up something else instead.Advert“A branch caught me in the eye. It whipped across my face,” he said.Maxim Sleptsov, 42, had been carrying a seed that had germinated in his eye (East2West)He told Yakutia newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda that he removed a ‘fragment of bark’ after rinsing his eye, but unbeknownst to him, a seed remained in his eye.Maxim started to suffer with 'constant migraines,' so much so, that he almost got used to it.The Emergency Ophthalmology Centre discovered that the sprouted seed was developing a tiny root which had 'penetrated the conjunctival tissue.' It measured at 3mm. Surgeons were left mind-boggled, as Ophthalmologist Elizaveta Karpova, who removed the seed with an injection needle under local anaesthetic, said: “I had never encountered a case like this in my practice before."Fortunately, the seed has left no lasting damage, and there is no further risk to the 42-year-old's eyesight. “I was so relieved that nothing else mattered," a now headache-free Maxim said. Maxim is now free of headaches (East2West)Maxim has taken a positive from the scary experience, turning to religion. "[God] made me understand that I should not point out other people's sins," he said. Here, he referenced Matthew 7:3-5, which says: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?"The 42-year-old said he will now 'work on himself and put his own life right.'There have been other cases similar to Maxim's, although not exactly the same.In 2020, doctors found a germinating rice seed beneath a 42-year-old farmer's upper eyelid in India. It came after he had complained of blurred vision and redness for over two months, as recorded in the National Library of Medicine. Featured Image Credit: East2WestTopics: Health

Donnie Darko’s Chilling ‘Dead All Along’ Theory Changes Everything New

Donnie Darko’s Chilling ‘Dead All Along’ Theory Changes Everything

Published 16:48 30 Oct 2026 GMTDoes Donnie Darko time travel – or was he simply dead all along?Donnie Darko may have been dead for the entire film, according to one completely mind-bending analysis of the film. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Seth Rogen and Patrick Swayze, 2001's Donnie Darko is considered to be one of the greatest cult films of all time. After sleepwalking his way out of a mysterious jet engine crashing into his bedroom, Donnie (Gyllenhaal) is repeatedly visited by a man in a rabbit costume who warns him that the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. Fast-forward to the end of the film, and Donnie is transported back in time to the fatal morning of the jet engine crash; only this time he decides against getting out of bed and chooses to be crushed to death instead. Advert25 years later and Donnie Darko remains a cult favourite (Newmarket Films)It's certainly a lot to unpack, which is why Donnie Darko fans have spent the following 25 years debating its meaning. The main consensus is that Donnie and everyone he knows spend the majority of the film inside an unstable 'tangent' universe, which will destroy reality itself if not corrected. By the end of the film, Donnie chooses to collapse the universe by travelling back to his bedroom on the evening of 2 October alongside a jet engine from a crash which would've killed his mother and sister. By choosing to die, Donnie erases the events of the tangent universe and saves his loved ones from their alternate fate. While the time-travel theory remains the most popular analysis of the film, it's not the only one, as a Redditor once posed a different theory that will completely alter your viewing of the film: the idea that Donnie was dead all along.The main theory behind the film involves time travel and alternate universes (Newmarket Films)What if Donnie was actually dead throughout the entire events of Donnie Darko?Posted on the popular r/FanTheories subreddit, the poster detailed an alternate take on the film, writing: "When people die, sometimes they are too heavily linked to Earth by something they wanted to experience more than anything but weren't able to, and so sometimes they're given a chance to relive their final days to try and experience what they're missing."The Redditor then poses that, for Donnie, the thing tying him to Earth is his desire to experience true love. After surviving the initial crash, Donnie is then given an opportunity to 'accomplish what he is missing' in order to see if it brings him peace of mind. After travelling into the alternate timeline, Frank, dressed in the rabbit costume, acts as a 'conduit' for Donnie to achieve his earthly desires, which includes forming a romantic relationship and losing his virginity to new girl Gretchen. But one Redditor wants you to believe Donnie was dead all along (Newmarket Films)As time passes, Donnie is then faced with the dilemma of whether or not to return to his fate or remain in the alternate timeline. It is only after he witnesses the tragedies which unfold in the new timeline - Gretchen's death, Frank's death and the deaths of his mother and sister in the plane crash - that he is convinced to accept his fate. The film then ends by showing the next day in the original timeline, with everyone waking up to learn about Donnie's fate and having a strange sense of familiarity when seeing each other. Read the whole theory below: by The theory has since struck a chord with readers over the years, with several Redditors saying the theory is one of the best ways of making sense of the movie. "I literally just finished it, and was so confused that, after wikipedia, the first place I came was here to make SOME meaning of it," one person wrote, adding: "Not only does this make sense, it makes sense of the movie. I feel like this is actually what happened, it makes so much sense."Think this nicely captures the subtext of this movie well done," penned a second, while a third added: "This is the best theory I've ever read for Donnie Darko."Looks like it's time for a rewatch this Halloween...Featured Image Credit: Newmarket FilmsTopics: Entertainment, Film, Reddit, Nostalgia

Elon Musk Sparks Reactions With Stark Midterm Election Warning New

Elon Musk Sparks Reactions With Stark Midterm Election Warning

Published 19:57 30 Oct 2026 GMTHe warned it would be 'the end of democracy' as we know itElon Musk has warned it would be 'game over' for America should the Democrats win the midterm elections next week. More than 100 million Americans are set to cast their vote in the midterm elections next Tuesday (November 3), as voters head to the polls to decide which party will control Congress for the next two years, alongside a number of key state and local races.The elections will see all 435 seats in the House of Representatives contested, alongside 35 seats in the Senate, with the results set to shape the political landscape for the remainder of Trump's presidency.The president himself has been out campaigning for candidates standing for the Republican Party in recent weeks, with trips to Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Georgia and Arizona, as he attempts to rally support for his party ahead of the crucial vote.AdvertTrump told voters to 'close their eyes' and pretend he is on the ballot on November 3. (Alex Wong/Getty Images)Musk has been a long-standing supporter of the Republican Party, having joined Trump's administration in 2024 to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), before stepping back from his role in May 2025.And prior to the elections next week, the trillionaire has issued a stark warning to voters. Listing his 'biggest concerns' should the democrats have a 'clean sweep', Musk warned that they would: "Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word."Musk outlined his 'biggest concerns'. (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)The Tesla CEO added: "All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one."The Democrats are currently favoured to win the 2026 midterms, particularly when it comes to taking control of the House of Representatives, as per election forecast trackers.In fact, recent national polling puts Democrats ahead of Republicans by around eight to nine percentage points.Trump has repeatedly urged Americans to treat the November 3 midterm elections as though he himself is standing for re-election.Speaking at a rally in Alabama, the president said: "When I'm not on the ballot, we don't do well. We have 44 percent or 48 percent less people. When I'm on the ballot, we get everybody. So, just close your eyes and pretend I'm on the ballot."Featured Image Credit: Christopher Furlong/Getty ImagesTopics: Elon Musk, US News, Politics, Donald Trump

Why Selective Service Changes Are Drawing Attention in Six US States New

Why Selective Service Changes Are Drawing Attention in Six US States

Published 14:38 30 Oct 2026 GMTFrom December, eligible young men will be automatically added to the military draft poolSix US states will now be required to automatically register eligible men for the Selective Service as of December, with failure to register potentially carrying felony consequences.From December 19, all eligible American men aged 18 to 26 will be signed up by default into the military draft register, marking the first time such a measure has been implemented since February 1973, during the Vietnam War.The majority of US states and territories already have automatic registration procedures in place, with 46 doing so according to the Selective Service System’s 2024 annual report.However, states without existing default registration procedures will now be brought under the new nationwide system.AdvertThese include Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Wyoming, Maryland, and Nebraska, where mandatory registration will now apply to green-card holders, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented men.As per the SSS, men must register 'within 30 days of (their) 18th birthday', and further explain that it is a felony to not do so.Changes have been made to the policy. (Scott Olson/Getty Images)It’s also a violation of the Military Selective Service Act, which could lead to imprisonment of up to five years, and a fine of up to $250,000.Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, who sponsored the automatic selective service language, told CNN: "Making registration automatic, not only saves taxpayer dollars by eliminating the need to advertise but finally ensures that young men are not unknowingly penalized."And the plans to do so were outlined in the annual defense policy bill that was signed into law late last year.Up until Decemeber, the process varies by location. The process currently differs by state. (Herika Martinez / AFP) (Photo by HERIKA MARTINEZ/AFP via Getty Images)In states such as Arizona and Delaware, as well as Washington. DC, eligible men are registered with Selective Service when applying for a driving licence or other state-issued ID. New York takes a different approach, giving eligible applicants the option to sign up for the draft register as part of their driving licence application.What would happen if the US reinstated the draft?Should the US ever reinstate military conscription, eligible men would not automatically be sent into service. Instead, Congress, along with the President's administration, would first need to authorise a draft, before a nationwide lottery determined the order in which registered men would be called up. Those selected would then undergo medical and mental assessments, with some potentially qualifying for exemptions or deferments before being formally inducted into the Armed Forces.Women are not eligible for the draft, though they can still enlist in the regular US armed forces to serve on the frontlines.

Wicker’s Intimate 4DX Scene Leaves Cinema Viewers ‘Forever Changed’

Updated 15:37 30 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 15:28 30 Oct 2026 GMTWicker – starring Olivia Colman and Peter Dinklage – has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score Who’d have thought that Olivia Colman starring with a husband out of wicker could be so wild?Wicker follows The Favourite star as a lonely fisherwoman living in a medieval seaside village. Mocked by the locals and unable to find love, she asks a basketmaker, played by Peter Dinklage, to create her a husband out of wicker. Amazingly, he comes to life as a unconventionally handsome and devoted man, played by Alexander Skarsgård. AdvertTheir passionate relationship shocks the villagers and cinemagoers alike, with some witnessing their sex scene in 4dx. The cinema experience is where the seats move and shake in sync with the action on screen, alongside effects such as wind, water and vibrations.Viewers were stunned after experiencing the sex scene in 4dx (Black Bear Pictures)4dx is a cinema experience where the seats move and shake in sync with the action on screen, alongside effects such as wind, water and vibrations.“All jokes aside, the experience was actually so much fun!! In my theater they even had snow come out at one point,” one person commented on TikTok. With another adding: “The vibes in that theater are immaculate.”"I love how it's just a bunch of girls giggling in there," a third said, as someone else penned: "Just popcorn FLYIN ERRYWHERE."At the time of writing, Wicker has a Tomatometer rating of 94%, while the popcornmeter rating currently stands at 92%. One critic called it 'a cheeky remix of Beauty and the Beast, while another said it's 'a delightful fairy tale romantic-comedy that is rich in both fields'.Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Colman admitted that Skarsgård’s full-body wicker suit actually helped with the simulation. “It actually makes it less embarrassing for me because there wasn’t skin touching,” she said.Colman didn't want nudity in the film (Black Bear Pictures)The actor said it was a conscious decision by the cast and crew to show no nudity on screen, because they wanted to keep it ‘all in our imaginations’.“There’s so much you can unpack in that social commentary: institution of marriage and how silly it can be and what a prison that can be,” Skarsgård said of the film. “It deals with patriarchy and jealousy and social hierarchy that, regardless of gender, we’re all existing in. And how transgressive and how much of a threat it can be if someone disrupts that hierarchy, the way the Fisherwoman does in a way which sets everyone off.”Peter Dinklage plays a basketmaker (Black Bear Pictures)Colman added to The Guardian that the script was completely different to anything she had read before. “You get sent a lot of scripts that you feel you’ve seen before. But when I read this, I was like an octopus. I changed colour and went: ‘Oooh!’” Of the character, she pointed out: “And she’s the only woman with agency. She’s perfectly happy with her life. It’s when pushed that she says, ‘I’m going to **** this up and make a mockery of your beloved convention of marriage.’ Then she gets this kind, beautiful creature, and suddenly the world is even more joyous.”Featured Image Credit: Black Bear PicturesTopics: Film, TV and Film, Entertainment

Ohio Daycare Owner Sentenced After Infant’s Suffocation Death New

Ohio Daycare Owner Sentenced After Infant’s Suffocation Death

Inset: Melanie DiMarzio (Stark County Sheriff's Office). Background: The Ohio home where DiMarzio ran her home daycare (WOIO).A 46-year-old former daycare owner in Ohio is headed to prison over the death of an 8-month-old boy, who suffocated after she put him down for a nap in a bed rather than in a crib.Common Pleas Court Judge Chryssa Hartnett on Tuesday sentenced Melanie DiMarzio to five years in a state correctional facility after she pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree involuntary manslaughter and one count of endangering children in the death of Grant Simmons, court records show.In exchange for her plea, prosecutors dropped an additional charge of first-degree involuntary manslaughter.According to a criminal complaint obtained by Law&Crime, officers with the Village of East Canton Police Department on March 10 responded to a home on South Market Street for a medical emergency call involving an infant. The victim was unresponsive when first responders arrived and transported him to a nearby hospital for treatment. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the facility.Police discovered that DiMarzio was providing childcare at the residence despite lacking a license for the operation. In its complaint seeking to shut down the business, the village said DiMarzio told investigators she typically watched between five and 10 children for about $45 per child per day, paid in cash.The complaint alleged that the home lacked appropriate supervision and sleeping arrangements for infants and toddlers. It also said DiMarzio had "difficulty recalling how many children she babysat," lacked current CPR certification and other medical training, had no formal plan for a fire or other emergency, and had no baby monitors or cameras to observe children in separate areas of the residence.At least six children were at the home on the day Grant died, the complaint alleged: Grant, two 23-month-olds, a 1-year-old, a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old. The filing further said DiMarzio told police she did not know the 1-year-old's last name.On March 20, a judge granted a temporary restraining order shutting down the daycare after learning that DiMarzio planned to reopen on March 23, according to a report from Cleveland-based CBS affiliate WOIO. After settling a lawsuit, DiMarzio reportedly sold the daycare.DiMarzio was indicted in July in connection with Grant's death. She initially pleaded not guilty before reaching a deal with prosecutors.At Tuesday's sentencing hearing, Grant's parents described the loss of their son. His father remembered a baby who "always had a smile, no matter what" and "loved life," according to the Canton Repository. He also addressed DiMarzio directly, saying, "I hope your cell is cold."Grant's mother reportedly said she had trusted DiMarzio to care for her son and questioned DiMarzio's remorse by highlighting how she wanted to reopen the daycare on the day of Grant's funeral.The mother further criticized DiMarzio for taking a family cruise after Grant's death and posting "Family is forever" on social media.The judge echoed those sentiments, addressing DiMarzio directly."How tone deaf do you have to be to put that out there?" Hartnett asked the defendant.The judge also told DiMarzio, "You definitely did things that you should not do," the Repository reported.DiMarzio, who did not speak during the hearing, must report to the Stark County Jail on Nov. 9 to begin serving her five-year sentence.

Why Dr Sarah Paine Fears Russia Could Trigger World War III

Why Dr Sarah Paine Fears Russia Could Trigger World War III

Published 11:59 30 Oct 2026 GMTThe historian claims the leader of this country 'doesn't care how many people he kills'A historian has detailed what country she believes would start World War III as tensions continue through multiple wars across the world.With the situation involving Russia and Ukraine in Europe, as well as the tensions continuing in the Middle East, the world is certainly an ever-changing place.Discussion surrounding a potential World War III is the loudest it's ever been and speaking on a recent podcast, an historian detailed which country would likely start it.Appearing on The Diary of a CEO, Dr Sarah Paine, a historian and professor, claimed World War Three would happen 'if we continue in the current direction of travel'.AdvertSteven Bartlett, the host of the podcast, suggested it would be a Russian invasion of Poland which would start a third World War, which Dr Paine agreed with.The historian then provided an 'obscene' prognosis about what that could potentially look like.Dr Sarah Paine believes Russia could start World War Three (YouTube/The Diary Of A CEO)Dr Paine told Bartlett: "I have no idea (what World War Three would look like). But you can get on a nice computer program, pick your mega tonnage of a nuclear weapon and you can put it over a city of your choice and see how many people die. It's obscene."And that's the problem with having these dark personalities running countries like Putin.

The Simpsons sparks shock after Halloween episode’s unregistered URL is hijacked

The Simpsons sparks shock after Halloween episode’s unregistered URL is hijacked

Published 12:20 30 Oct 2026 GMTOne mischief maker took advantage of a URL that featured in the The Simpsons spooky special Fans of The Simpsons got quite the fright after visiting a website that was featured in the latest episode. It wouldn't be Halloween without us having a new Treehouse of Horror to sink our teeth into and the 36th instalment of this spooky special aired on Fox earlier this week. But this year, it's not the plot of the episode that has left people aghast, but rather the inclusion of a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag in Matt Groening's sitcom which has now taken on a life of its own. The latest episode of The Simpsons aired on Sunday (25 October), ensuring that fans of the show had plenty of time to enjoy it before the weekend. AdvertThe synopsis for Treehouse of Horror XXXVII explains: "In this year's extra-scary, ultra-spooky Treehouse of Horror, Marge gets a horrifying new perspective on marriage; Bart and Santa's Little Helper embark on a bone-chilling adventure; and Homer takes a driving lesson." The annual Halloween special first aired on Sunday (Fox)At one point during the episode, Lisa and Bart head to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as they attempt to track down Homer. They arrive to find the building in darkness, however, there was a sign outside which offered some further instructions about how to get in touch. In what is believed to be a gag about some of the shortcomings of the government agency that is the DMV, the sign read: "Visit our website at our-website-is-broken.org." Most people probably laughed at this sarcastic URL and moved swiftly on - but one viewer decided to take it as an opportunity to cause some mischief. Typically, TV and film studios will register the domain names of websites or social media handles that appear on-screen, so that other folks don't lay claim to them. One eagle-eyed viewer spotted the URL and decided to take advantage of the domain being unregistered (Fox)But it appears that the team behind The Simpsons dropped the ball on this one, as 'our-website-is-broken.org' was still up for grabs. So, a prankster opted to take advantage of this oversight by asserting ownership of this domain - and launching a website featuring what social media users have described as 'Simpsons porn'. A host of inquisitive viewers visited the link after tuning into Treehouse of Horror XXXVII and got the shock of their life, as topless images of Marge Simpson’s sisters, Patty and Selma, flashed on their screens. As I'm sure you can appreciate, this content was a lot more unsettling that anything that was featured in The Simpsons Halloween special. According to one X user, it also repeated '67' if you visited the website and turned the volume up, before 'many more pictures splashed on screen'. 'A grand mistake'Needless to say, some viewers won't be able to look at Patty and Selma the same ever again. Discussing the debacle online, one social media user said: "The link in this scene brings you to straight up jiggling yellow Simpsons boobs...what."Another joked: "Man, I really shouldn't have used my work computer to check that."A third added: They made a grand mistake not purchasing the domain beforehand. How did they assume nobody was going to do this?"A fourth dubbed it 'diabolical', while a fifth asked: "An OFFICIAL Simpsons episode that has a link to a bunch of Simpsons porn is absolutely psychotic. How did such a thing even happen?" Fans of The Simpsons said that the URL has since been scrubbed from the episode - and it appears as though the website is no longer active. The bizarre site featured explicit images of Marge's sisters (Fox)LADbible has contacted Fox for comment. A similar situation unfolded following the release of the 2002 romcom About A Boy, as a URL titled 'supermodelswithseethroughtops.com' appeared while Hugh Grant was browsing his computer. Thankfully, this site simply displays a snap of the Popemobile on it - and the bloke who took advantage of this domain remaining unclaimed, known as JR, explained what motivated him. "I checked to see if it was a real site, and I was surprised that it wasn’t registered," he told Film Stories in 2023. "I don’t know if the filmmakers thought it was too long to be real or just didn’t care. I registered it."He went on to explain that he initially 'wasn't sure' what to display on the website, adding: "I considered putting some joke about a Hugh Grant scandal, but then thought the Pope has a super model of car with a see through top so I put up the popemobile.""I thought maybe I could make money with ads on it, but it just seemed too pure of a joke to spoil with anything additional, so it’s just been out there on the internet as a public service for 20 years now."Featured Image Credit: FoxTopics: Adult Industry, The Simpsons, Halloween, Weird, TV and Film
