Adin Ross, one of the most-watched streamers on the internet, is claiming that he will be interviewing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on his channel on Wednesday evening. The controversial streamer who has previously collaborated with Andrew Tate and has also been banned from Twitch for a string of offenses. Ross is hitting the headlines again for claiming that he is due to interview Kim Jong Un on his streaming feed despite being apparently warned not to go ahead with the talk with the North Korean dictator. During a stream earlier this week, Ross stated: "I'm getting it in today's stream. I have to address this s*** now," he said. "Listen... okay, Kim Jong Un is locked in (for) tomorrow's stream, at 7:30 Miami time. Okay?" Ross also shared a series of questions that he has planned for Kim which include: Thoughts on LGBT? Can you give Stake money back? React to Andrew Tate. Visit North Korea? Add Yeonmi Park to call. Trump vs. Biden. USA better than North Korea. E-date? Fake n*tsack prank. He also claimed that the US government had been in contact with his legal team to warn of the potentially serious consequences of interviewing Kim. He added: "They saw and hit up, basically, my team and they just let me know there could be consequences for this. You know?" There is little to no indication as to whether this is real or not but Ross has gone as far as to put together poster to hype 'The Interview.' All eyes will be on his stream at 7pm EST to see whether he was telling the truth or if we all fell for an elaborate prank. Who is Adin Ross? Ross started his online gaming career in 2014 when he joined YouTube as a Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K content creator. He then ventured onto Twitch when as his following grew. His streams have since featured rappers including Lil Uzi Vert and Tory Lanez, who was convicted of assault in December 2022. One of his most prominent Twitch bans was a result of a gambling stream, which the platform prohibits. He claimed his most recent ban is for "no reason". Ross has since moved over to Kick, Twitch's rival streaming platform. The new platform has a looser set of rules, which saw Ross reportedly stream the Super Bowl, sharing video calls of white friends saying the N-word and scrolling through Pornhub in front of his reported younger demographic. "Listen, I got permanently banned on Twitch. It’s done, it’s already done," Ross said in a video posted on 26 February. "But I got permanently banned for no reason at all. How do you ban someone on Twitch and my reasoning is for VODs/on-stream, when I haven’t even been streaming there? This is exactly why everyone needs to see Twitch for what it is. It’s full of corrupted, pure corrupted Karens and they’re pick-and-choose-me. And unless you’re a certain person with certain beliefs [Twitch doesn’t] f*** with you."

A restaurant has caused an explosive debate online after charging a solo diner a hefty service charge. In a popular Reddit thread, one infuriated foodie shared their experience at a Vietnamese restaurant in California. They shared a photo of the receipt that detailed the additional charge of $8.91 (£7.20) and a sales tax of $4.52 (£3.65). The small print at the bottom reads: "18.00% Service Charge Included. For parties of one or larger, a 18.00% gratuity is applied automatically. If you have any questions, please speak with a manager." The post was soon inundated with thousands of fellow Redditors, who were seemingly as irritated as the poster. "For parties of 1 or larger? What a convoluted way of saying everybody is charged 18%," one person wrote, while another added: "There is a place in town that adds an extra 20% "living wage increase" to all orders. But they make a point of saying that it isn't a tip. My wife then insists on tipping 20% on top of that. We don't go there anymore." "‘Hello I’d like to reserve a table for 0 people’ – Checkmate," a third joked. Meanwhile, one person humoured: "Ha! The joke's on them, I tip 20%. Suckers. Saved me 2%" Reddit - Dive into anything from mildlyinfuriating It comes after a former Apprentice star called solo diners "pathetic" people who "need to make friends". During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Ryan Mark Parsons shared his discomfort with solo eaters. "I think people that do it are pathetic. I think Alex is one of those losers that goes to restaurants alone, and it's weird," he said, adding: "I go to restaurants and see solo diners and I'm just uncomfortable. I question the motives, I think it's really, really bizarre." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

That's just insane." "If you like it, I love it," she continued, before humouring: "Just know that I'm judging you a little bit." @soundbowlbae Recipe .75 ounces of Vodka,Gin,Rum,Tequila add .5 ounces of Triple Sec and Sour add coke to top.

Kick streamer Adin Ross claimed he's "locked in" an interview with Kim Jong Un, and US officials have warned him about the "consequences". During a live stream on Tuesday (19 September), Ross told viewers that the North Korean leader would be on his stream in the next 48 hours. "I'm getting it in today's stream. I have to address this s*** now," he said. "Listen... okay, Kim Jong Un is locked in (for) tomorrow's stream, at 7:30 Miami time. Okay?" He went on to share a handful of supposed questions, including: Thoughts on LGBT? Can you give Stake money back? React to Andrew Tate. Visit North Korea? Add Yeonmi Park to call. Trump vs. Biden. USA better than North Korea. E-date? Fake n*tsack prank. Alongside his claims, Ross said people had reached out to his legal team about it and advised him not to go through with it. "We definitely got government officials hitting up my legal team. No, I swear to god, it's not that. It got millions of views on Twitter and it's on TikTok and s**t. They see everything! The government sees everything," he said, adding: "They saw and hit up, basically, my team and they just let me know there could be consequences for this. You know?" Inevitably, the news left X/Twitter users baffled, with one writing: "I was off the internet for a day what the hell did I miss?" Another joked: "Why does Adin Ross have to be the one to represent us of all people." Meanwhile, a third fan shared their concerns, saying if the claims were true, they would "prefer to be another streamer to meet Kim Jong, not this guy." They continued: "The fact is, Kim Jong is a very serious man, and when it comes to a sense of humor, there's a significant difference between Kim Jong and Adin Ross. Kim Jong might laugh. But Laughing at Ross. Ross, if you really are meeting him, don't say stupid sh#%t. Don't disrespect him." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

The Cubs rain delay is pushing back the start time of their Sept. 19 clash against the Pirates at Wrigley Field. When is the new Cubs start time?

Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest of your life and your wedding night the icing on that multi-tiered cake. However, that wasn’t the case for one blushing bride who was stunned to discover that her new husband had been harbouring a tiny… secret as they celebrated their nuptials. The woman, 27, wrote about her shock in a resurfaced Reddit post, in which she explained that she and her partner, 32, had only been together a year when they tied the knot and that they had waited to consummate their relationship. “My husband isn't a religious guy, he just says he is ‘old fashioned like that’,” she wrote. “We got close to fooling around a couple [of] times but it never went far. I tried, but he always stopped after it went ‘too far’.” In her headline to the post, she broke down the situation in the starkest terms, saying that her husband had “surprised [her] with micropenis on [their] honeymoon.” She then asked readers if she was wrong to be upset that she had “waited until [her] wedding night to find out that he probably isn't as ‘old fashioned’ as he says he is;” implying that he had insisted on celibacy purely to delay the anatomical discovery. “I'm not going to shame him and honestly I don't even know how I'll broach the topic,” she continued, adding that, at the time, she “just acted like nothing was out of the ordinary”. But, she went on: “I dunno. I kind of feel lied to. Like a half-truth...or something was intentionally withheld from me. “This was unexpected, to say the least” Her admission was met with a flood of comments from fellow Redditors, prompting her to respond with further updates. “My inbox is blowing up with d**k pics. Guys...really? I've seen d**ks before. I know what they look like,” she said in one follow-up. In a subsequent message, she wrote that her husband had seen her post and now wanted to “leave [her] and [sue] her” for “defamation of character”. “He says it's only a matter of time before someone leaks his name,” she went on, explaining that he had seen the post “through an old friend of his who knew he had a micropenis and saw on his [Facebook] that he had just gotten married.” In her next update, she said she had confronted her husband about “intentionally keeping” his secret from her, to which he replied that he was “sure [she] would leave him if [she] knew about the size prior to the wedding.” She continued: “He wanted to talk before the wedding but feared it being called off because of his micropenis and said if both families found out/gossiped about it he would be crushed. “Which is basically what I did with the entire world via Reddit.” In her final message on the debacle, she addressed all the people who had sent her “hate mail”, saying: “I assure you, my husband is a sweet, sweet man. I wouldn't just walk away from him for this. “Nobody is perfect. And if the roles were reversed and he was upset about my lady bits not being up to par, the world would hate him.” She concluded: “This is such a unique situation to find yourself in. Thanks for the support.” A repost of the dramatic thread was shared to the ‘Best of Redditor Updates’ forum, with users largely united in their criticism of the original poster (OP)’s husband. “I’d be upset about the manoeuvring this guy did, not his actual equipment size,” one commentator responded. “Yeah, ‘I thought you wouldn't want to marry me if you knew X, so I withheld this information from your purposely’ is gross and manipulative,” pointed out another. “I feel terrible for her and feel terrible she thinks he is still a good guy,” wrote a third. “She's blinded by pity and manipulation right now, I hope she leaves his a**. “If there was something wrong with her and she lied about it to him until she trapped him I'd feel the same way. His behaviour was appalling.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

The competitive eater, real name Adam Moran, is a hugely popular content creator with tens of millions of views on YouTube. Adam, who is from Castleford, Yorkshire, has travelled all over the world taking on hundreds of eating challenges and he’s rarely been beaten. His most recent video, which has already racked up four million views in the space of just 24 hours at the time of writing, saw him take on the record at Gordon Ramsay’s Street Pizza. The restaurant offers a deal that lets customers eat as much pizza as they want across two hours, for the price of £17.

The United States military managed to lose an F-35 fighter jet and the missing plane has become an instant meme. On Sunday 17 September, the $80 million F-35 military jet went missing after the pilot ejected from the cockpit during a “mishap” and the plane remained on auto-pilot. The pilot abandoned the plane somewhere over South Carolina and safely landed in a neighbourhood in North Charleston. The plane itself remained airborne and on auto-pilot for some time, making it difficult for the authorities to locate it. Officials have now reportedly found the debris from the wreckage of the Marine Corps jet in a South Carolina field. It follows a day-long search in which the military asked for the public's help to locate it, causing quite a stir on social media. Pretty quickly, people came up with hilarious memes about the plane’s disappearance. One person joked: “Can’t wait to see the new @TomCruise documentary about the F-35 - ‘Lost Gun’.” Someone else said: “It was an $80 million F-35 that they publicly asked if anyone had seen ffs.” Officials have requested that members of the public stay away from the crash site as they investigate what happened. In a statement, officials said: “Members of the community should avoid the area as the recovery team secures the debris field. “The mishap is currently under investigation, and we are unable to provide additional details to preserve the integrity of the investigative process. We would like to thank all of our mission partners, as well as local, county, and state authorities, for their dedication and support throughout the search and as we transition to the recovery phase.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
