‘Is this the stupidest yet?': Mark Zuckerberg pulls off quirky surf stunt on 4th of July, video goes viral
This year, the Fourth of July marked the 249th anniversary of the United States of America. In the video, Zuckerberg begins on a boat, looking into the camera. A message flashes across the screen, which reads, 'Is this the stupidest thing we have done so far?' He then repeats the question out loud. The video then shows him surfing on the water in his oversized, flag-themed inflatable suit.
'Happy 4th of July! US,' he captioned the video.

The video quickly drew attention, with social media users flooding the comment section with reactions. 'The internet now requires you to one-up this challenge every year until you're holding a live eagle with fireworks shooting off the base of the board while chugging a beer in 2030,' a user wrote. 'I literally woke up this morning and asked myself what you were going to do this year to top off the last few years,' another user commented.
'Whoever taught you how to act like a human deserves a trillion dollars and to be famous sir,' a third user said.
Over the past few years, Zuckerberg's stunts have been grabbing eyeballs on social media. Last year, he shared a video of himself wakesurfing while wearing a tuxedo. In one hand, he held a beer, and in the other, the American flag to the soundtrack of Bruce Springsteen's iconic song Born in the USA.
In 2021, during his Fourth of July celebration, he was seen riding a surfboard in slippers, waving the US flag against a picturesque backdrop.

"Your help is important and appreciated," she further stated. Flash floods wreaked havoc across central Texas after unrelenting rainfall on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, 2025, triggered the ravaging flooding. Live Events The death toll from catastrophic floods that wreaked havoc across central Texas after unrelenting rainfall on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, 2025, reached at least 78 on Sunday, July 6, 2025, including 28 children, as the search for girls missing from a summer camp continued and fears of more flooding prompted evacuations of volunteer responders. The flooding occurred after the nearby Guadalupe River broke its banks after torrential rain fell in the central Texas area on Friday, the U.S. Independence Day holiday. Larry Leitha, sheriff of Kerr County in Texas Hill Country, said 68 people had died in flooding in his county, the epicenter of the flooding, among them 28 children, Reuters reported. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, speaking at a press conference on Sunday afternoon, said another 10 had died elsewhere in Texas and confirmed 41 were missing. President Donald Trump sent his condolences to the victims and said he would probably visit the area on Friday. His administration had been in touch with Abbott, he added. "It's a horrible thing that took place, absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless, God bless the state of Texas," he told reporters as he left New Jersey.

'Jurassic World Rebirth' takes a bite out of Fourth of July weekend with $318 million global haul
Dinosaur fatigue may be a theme in "Jurassic World Rebirth," but moviegoing audiences don't seem to have that reservation. The newest installment in the "Jurassic World" franchise ruled the Fourth of July holiday box office with a global, five-day launch of $318.3 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theatres. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional "three day" weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales. Internationally, it opened in 82 markets including China, adding $171 million to the opening total. According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX. It's the country's biggest MPA (Motion Picture Association) opening of the year. "Jurassic World" was missing from IMAX screens domestically (due to a commitment to continue showing "F1"), but it thrived on the premium large format screens where it played. One of those options was Dolby Cinema, where it made nearly $8 million from only 167 screens in five days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ดัชนีทั่วโลกกำลังคึกคัก ถึงเวลาเทรดแล้ว! IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo "Rebirth," starring Scarlett Johansson , Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey , is the fourth movie in the "Jurassic World" series and the seventh since Steven Spielberg 's original Michael Crichton adaptation stormed theatres in the summer of 1993. The new film received mixed reviews from critics, carrying a 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, and B CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences. The studio was struck by the broad audience turnout, from ages eight to 80, and the fact that the film exceeded estimates at every step despite the reviews. Factors like the holiday weekend, inflation and post-COVID moviegoing realities make it difficult to fairly compare the "Rebirth" launch to the other films in the "Jurassic World" franchise, the first of which opened to $208 million domestically in 2015. The other two, "Fallen Kingdom" and "Dominion" opened to $148 million and $145 million respectively. "Jurassic World Rebirth" introduced a new main cast to the series and brought back a familiar voice in "Jurassic Park" screenwriter David Koepp to guide the story about a dangerous hunt for dinosaur DNA (not for making dinosaurs this time, but for curing heart disease). It cost a reported $180 million net to produce, not including marketing and promotion costs. The campaign was far reaching, including a global press tour, with stops everywhere from London to Seoul, integrated marketing across NBC Universal platforms and brand tie-ins with everything from Jeep and 7-11 to Johansson's skincare line. No major new films dared go up against the dinosaurs, who left last week's champion, the Brad Pitt racing movie "F1," in the dust. "F1" fell a modest 54% in its second weekend with $26.1 million, helping bring its domestic total to $109.5 million. It continues to play on IMAX screens with accounted for $7.6 million of the North American weekend ticket sales. Globally, it's nearing $300 million with a running total of $293.6 million. Third place went to Universal's live-action "How to Train Your Dragon," which earned $11 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $224 million. Disney and Pixar's "Elio" landed in fourth place with $5.7 million. Globally, "Elio" has just crossed $96 million in three weekends. "28 Years Later" rounded out the top five with $4.6 million. A 41-year-old movie also made the domestic top 10: The re-release of Rob Reiner's 1984 film "This is Spinal Tap." Having the Fourth of July land on a Friday could have negatively impacted the overall box office, but the holiday didn't blow up the weekend's earnings. And there's still some major movies to come in the packed summer movie calendar, including "Superman," which opens later this week. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Comscore: 1. "Jurassic World Rebirth," $91.5 million. 2. "F1 The Movie," $26.1 million. 3. "How to Train Your Dragon," $11 million. 4. "Elio," $5.7 million. 5. "28 Years Later," $4.6 million. 6. "Lilo & Stitch," $3.8 million. 7. "M3GAN 2.0," $3.8 million. 8. "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning," $2.7 million. 9. "Materialists," $1.3 million. 10. "This is Spinal Tap" (41st Anniversary re-release), $931,737.

'The whole weekend was bombarded': Tom Brady and Sydney Sweeney's flirty night sparks outrage from Skip Bayless' wife

The NFL legend was recently spotted in Ibiza, celebrating the Fourth of July with a yacht day that quickly set social media ablaze.
