"Arthur" TikTok Goes Viral After Trump's PBS Funding Cuts

Everyone's inner child is heartbroken after the Trump administration received approval to reportedly cut all federal funding for public broadcasting, leaving programs like PBS in limbo. PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger said the cuts "go against the will of the American people," in a written statement. "The Senate just approved a rescissions package that goes against the will of the American people, the vast majority of whom trust PBS and believe we provide excellent value to their communities. These cuts will significantly impact all of our stations, but will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas. Many of our stations, which provide access to free, unique local programming and emergency alerts, will now be forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead. There is nothing more American than PBS. Despite today's setback, we are determined to keep fighting to preserve the essential services we provide to the American public," Kerger said. The PBS channel has been home to many popular educational children's TV shows, including the Emmy-winning animated series Arthur, a show about an 8-year-old aardvark who explores real-life issues through the lens of a child and promotes healthy problem-solving and social skills for young kids. Well, the official Arthur TikTok page recently posted a video in response to the news of budget cuts, with the caption: "PBS has been defunded. This isn't goodbye yet." In the clip, the character Sue from Arthur is seen writing in her journal. "I never wanna go through another fire. But I also never wanna lose this feeling. That each day is special; that my friends are the best friends in the world; and that if we stick together, we can make it through just about anything." The TikTok has received over 350,000 views in less than 24 hours, and thousands of comments have expressed their heartbreak over Trump's PBS cuts. "You guys raised multiple generations and that won't be forgotten ever," one person wrote. "I can't believe these vile politicians defunded you. Fuck them," another person wrote. "Trump is trying to defund education. They know education means they have less power and voter base. Don't let them win. Continue to educate yourself," another person wrote. Others shared what the show Arthur has meant to their lives. "This channel was my everything. I learned how to speak English watching PBS." "I came to the U.S. when I was 4. I went into school knowing 0 English thanks to PBS kids I learned English by the 3rd grade fluently. I'm now about to be in 12th." "from a foster child that had no structure or love growing up. thank you for helping raise me into who I am." One person even shared that "Arthur's Reading Race" helped them start reading as an autistic kid. And this teacher said that PBS reinforced the "ethics" taught to them at home and helped them as a student. According to @arthursPBS, donating to your local PBS station is one way to help.

Videos show Katy Perry's mid-air prop malfunction at San Francisco concert

Katy Perry was clinging to a butterfly prop during her Lifetimes Tour concert on July 18 in San Francisco. In multiple fan videos, Perry nearly falls above the audience at the Chase Center as the prop malfunctions while she is in the air. While singing her 2013 hit song "Roar," the 13-time Grammy nominee was riding on the prop when it titled and dropped, seemingly causing her to lose her balance. USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Perry for comment. In the clip, Perry looks back up at the prop's wires and down at the audience before continuing to sing "Roar," crooning "and you're gonna hear me roar, louder than a lion." Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry breakup: Couple to focus on co-parenting daughter Daisy With her signature humor, the "Last Friday Night" hitmaker Perry jokingly took to her Instagram Stories with a blurred, zoomed in picture of her reaction to the viral moment, captioning the post "Good Night San Fran." High-flying, mid-air performances were popularized by Perry's fellow popstar Pink. The Perry malfunction comes weeks after a Beyoncé concert June 28 when the Cowboy Carter creator sang her hit single "16 Carriages" while soaring in a red car when a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She briefly paused the show telling everyone to "stop" repeatedly, before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. Shortly after, Beyoncé returned to the stage cool, calm and collected. She joked, "if I ever fall, I know y'all will catch me," before carrying on with the show. It's been a busy, rollercoaster year for the "California Girls" singer. Perry recently wrapped a four-show stint in Adelaide, Australia, which capped nearly four weeks of performing in the island country, as she ended her concert emotionally following a highly publicized split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom. "Thank you for always being there for me, Australia; it means the world," a teary-eyed Perry told the crowd as her 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove's vocals on her "143" album-closing track "Wonder" rang out in the arena. She shook off the emotion and said, "Now let's sing 'Firework!'" The A-list actor and Perry confirmed their split in a July 3 statement to USA TODAY via their representatives.
