Passenger discovers mobile phone flight hack but people spot one major problem
A Tiktokker revealed 'old school' travel item can be your solution for a quick flight hack; which saves you from cramps but Tiktok viewers seem to have their own thoughts on the hack We've all been there - you're on a flight, you want to watch something on your phone, but there's nowhere to put it without either cramping your neck or holding it for hours. But one Tiktokker @Chlowfaraway has revealed a simple travel hack, which solves the issue. While the hack drew many views in, viewers were quick to point out a glaring issue. In the viral clip a passenger is seen slipping their printed boarding pass into the latch of the seat-back tray table. This creates a makeshift holder where you can rest your phone for hands-free viewing and the hack racked up over a half a million likes and plenty of praise for the awkward mid-air juggle. But while the idea was clever, many in the comments section weren't impressed and not because of the hack itself. Instead, people were surprised that the passenger even had a printed boarding pass to begin with. One viewer said: "Who prints their boarding passes? Jesus." Another chimed in: "Travel hack: you can get your ticket on your phone since like 10 years ago." But not everyone had this mindset and defended the old-school approach, with one saying: "I love the physical ticket! Y'all are so weird acting like it's so outdated bc it's just a different option lol." And some simply pointed out that flying in certain countries or on international trips often still requires a paper pass, whether we like it or not. Either way, the trick sparked debate about whether printed tickets are a thing of the past - but if you do still carry one, it looks like it can come in handy for more than just getting on the plane.

FKA Twigs agrees to settle lawsuit alleging abuse from Shia LaBeouf
A lawyer for FKA Twigs, whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, filed a request in Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss her case against the 39-year-old American actor with prejudice, meaning it can't be filed again. A joint statement said: 'Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court. While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.' First filed in 2020, the case had several trial dates scheduled in the years since, but those were always delayed well in advance. The two met and became a couple in 2018 after 37-year-old English singer and actor Barnett was cast in a supporting role in Honey Boy, an autobiographical film about LaBeouf's upbringing as a child actor. After an early 'charm offensive' from LaBeouf, the relationship became a 'living nightmare', her lawsuit said. She said LaBeouf put her in a constant state of fear and humiliation, once slammed her into a car, tried to strangle her and knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease. She said he also isolated her from family and friends, demanded absolute fealty and was angrily jealous of everyone from waiters she'd been polite with to her ex-fiance Robert Pattinson. She said that her experience was part of a pattern for LaBeouf. 'Shia LaBeouf hurts women,' the suit said. 'He uses them. He abuses them, both physically and mentally. He is dangerous.' LaBeouf said in a statement just after the lawsuit was filed that he had been 'abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt'. But he denied the accusations in the lawsuit in a 2021 filing, saying any injuries done or damages incurred by Barnett were not his doing. LaBeouf is best known for his roles in 2007′s Transformers and in 2008′s Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. He also starred in the 2019 film The Peanut Butter Falcon and in last year's Megalopolis. Known for her genre-bending musical styles, FKA Twigs worked as a backup dancer for other artists before releasing her studio debut, LP1, in 2014. She followed it with 2019's Magdalene and Eusexua from earlier this year. As an actor, she appeared in 2024's The Crow.

'I'm a social media guru - here are my top tips to avoid doom scrolling all day'
Eknoor Soni and his brother Arsh have millions of followers on the likes of YouTube, Snapchat and other apps, but the siblings, from London, recognise the pitfalls of technology A social media expert who helps manage influencers who get over 100 million views a month has shared his top five tips to stop wasting hours of your day doom scrolling. Eknoor Soni, 21, has been obsessed with social media since he was 16 and has gained millions of views with his older brother Arsh, 28. The University of London business graduate has since set up an agency that manages the Snapchat accounts of creators including YouTubers Jake Sweet (12.9 million subscribers) and Jamie Nyland (15.6m subscribers). And while creating and helping others create content is his passion, he also believes that people can spend too much time on it. He said: "Social media has been designed to keep you hooked and trapped on your phone. 'The rise of short form content from platforms like TikTok has kept people, including many from younger generations, glued to their phone watching an infinite amount of videos without realising hours have passed. 'While there's nothing wrong with watching some videos, if it's sapping your productivity so much that you're not getting things done you should address that sooner rather than later. 'I wouldn't recommend going cold turkey and completely cutting yourself off, but if you think your social media usage is too much I'd recommend following some of the following tips to reduce it to more manageable levels.' Here are Eknoor's top five tips: Use social media for a purpose: One of the first ways to avoid wasting time on social media is to use it with intention. For example, if you are focusing on the gym and have a goal to build bigger muscles, then use platforms like TikTok to tailor your algorithm to only provide you with gym content. You can simply tailor your algorithm by liking, commenting, sharing and engaging with gym content which results in TikTok showing you similar content. Suddenly, the for you page becomes a free personal trainer instead of a distraction allowing you to reach your goals and benefit from social media. Clean up your social media feed: A simple way to do this is when you see content you don't like or want to see then you can press on the video and an option will pop up saying 'Don't recommend me this content'. This will let the platform know not to show you this content allowing you to focus on only watching valuable content that doesn't drain your energy or waste your time. Create content: One of the best ways to stop wasting time on social media is to flip the script, so instead of just consuming content, start creating instead. Rather than doom-scrolling, use that time to make content. So many people have built careers simply by documenting their lives, sharing their favourite food spots, or showing their personality online. Short-form content has levelled the playing field allowing people to get millions of views on the first video they have posted. If you're already spending hours on these apps, why not use that time to build something, make money and provide value. Turn off notifications: Social media apps are constantly pining you with likes, tags, stories and random updates to get you back on the app to consume content. By turning off everything except the essentials, you'll reduce distractions and be able to focus on the things you are actively doing. The less you are interrupted by valueless notifications the more you can focus on things that actually matter. Set time limits: This is one of the most effective ways to stop wasting hours on social media as most phones allow you to set daily screen time caps. This means if you cap yourself to one hour of social media scrolling a day it can help you become aware of how much time you are spending and how fast it goes. Once you hit the time limit, treat it as a signal to log off and do something productive. This way you can create healthy boundaries so social media works for you, not the other way round
