So at this point in just a matter of a few days, the rug lady has become a household name.
Katie Santry skyrocketed in popularity on TikTok, and she now boasts millions of followers and her videos are being seen around the world, all because she thought a body was buried in a rug behind her house.
It turns out after much ado about nothing.. the police said that the cavaver dogs are wrong and there is no body.
But this other TikTok creator actually breaks down how much money Santry may have made since her account became monetized, and it reached record levels in hits.
The rug lady has made waves this week! Going from 6k followers to 2million is beyond impressive, but how much money has she made?! I analyzed her account and my guess is she has made about $50k in 4 days. There is no fact to this, its simply based on my personal experience with the creator rewards program over the past year. She won the TikTok lottery this week!
After all of that inclusion and celebration, the Olympics Committee has removed the “Last Supper” drag queen show from the opening ceremony after a global backlash!!
Initially the committee was striking videos for copyright infringements–most of those YouTubers and TikTokkers were reacting to the video both pro and con..
The controversy may have become too overwhelming–overshadowing the games themselves..

The recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting ‘The Last Supper’ has hurt the religious sentiments of several Christians. Olympics removes its own opening ceremony video that features drag queens from YouTube.
The act of beheading of Queen Marie Antoinette is also being condemned.
Many viewers felt a “viewer discretion” warning was needed for the ceremony.
Along with that, International Olympic Committee apologized for the blunder of introducing South Korean contingent as North Korea during the opening ceremony.
And… on top of that, it is still raining and there was a report of power outages the night after the opening ceremony..
March 2024, Trump name-dropped Hannibal Lecter, possibly for the first time. This didn’t get any attention because he didn’t say anything about the villain; he just shouted his name and continued ranting about illegal immigration:
We have millions and millions of people, and they came from prisons and jails. They came from mental institutions and insane asylums. No, they’re not the same thing. An insane asylum is a mental institution on steroids. It’s Silence of the Lambs, okay? You know, Hannibal Lecter! They’re all being deposited into our country and then you have terrorists, and then you have drugs, and then you have human traffickers.
This seems to be as good as an origin story .. we even tried Newspapers.com, anything where we can find Trump talking about SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in the 1990s.. anything where he saw the movie and praised it.
Nothing..
No luck…
Somehow it just popped into a speech and has become something uttered forever into history books.
MrBeast YouTube co-host Ava Kris Tyson is quitting the popular channel after allegations surfaced of grooming a minor.
Tyson was recently accused of sending inappropriate messages to a then-13-year-old when she was 20-years-old.
“I would like to apologize for any of my past behavior or comments if it hurt or offended anyone,” Tyson said in a social media statement. “It was not my intent.
…it’s now in the pop culture social media dictionary ..
We live in a fascinating world. Just a few days ago, the “Hauk Tuah girl” became an internet sensation. Imagine spending months or even years building your brand, following all the advice from textbooks, advertising on social media, and paying for ads.
Suddenly, this girl gets interviewed, answers a question about pleasing a man with “Hauk tuah and spit on that thang,” and becomes an overnight sensation.
Her 15 minutes of fame came quickly, but they will pass just as fast. It’s intriguing to consider her future prospects and why she became famous in the first place.
Out of nowhere, she appears in our feeds, becomes a meme, and even inspires songs, all within a short time.
The Hauk Tuah girl has emerged suddenly, but she could disappear just as quickly unless she capitalizes on this moment.
Her best strategy would be to create a brand, start a podcast, or host a relationship show. If she seizes this opportunity, she might extend her time in the spotlight and become a lasting figure in our lives.. If she doesn’t, she will be remembered for a single statement and a brief, peculiar moment that made her the latest internet meme.
The haunting words of Gordon Lightfoot’s IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND may be the best background for this story.. conjuring the imagination of his ghostly song coupled with technology piercing the safety nets of our mind.. and going deep into brains to predict what we will want. What we will buy.. what we will…think?
As this post is written, a LONG day is wrapping up. For some weird reason, this particular Saturday felt like the longest day that ever existed.. Maybe the snowy landscape and bone chilling temperatures.. Who knows.
I think it was hour number 5,000 of the day when I was just bored in the chair looking through stupid TikTok videos, one after the other. After the other.. And so on. People falling. Political content. Old ladies screaming. Ice storms and people slipping. Weird stuff and so on. Everyone’s for you page is different. That’s a peak at mine.
This is where the weirdness started.
In my brain, a voice said “it’s been a long time since you saw TikTok videos about Michael Myers and Halloween”.. No verbal output occurred, here, it was just an internalized passing thought. A blip on the brain wave radar.. It just popped into my brain, and I remembered rationalizing it by saying that ‘Halloween is over and of course I will not be seeing videos like that on the for me page’ for a while..
About a good solid minute later this video now pops up on the for you page:
First of all, great great video. Pure nostalgia and 1980s glory and all that..
But wait.. HALLOWEEN!? Just when moments earlier the idea of a Halloween video was crossing the brain and being dismissed due to the time of the year..
I completely got the chills and gave me a very bizarre feeling.
And it just started more thoughts to roll. Do you have this occur? Does this happen when you talk about things–we all know ads pop up a little bit after we search things or talk about them.. but how often do you actually have something on tech occur after you simply THINK about it?
Is there some algorithm that certain videos trigger people searching for other things? Or perhaps this was just all weird and random coincidence ..
Controversy about TikTok’s (and other social media platforms) algorithms have be been in the news for years. Most of those have revolved around the kids not being alright, teens with angst getting a perverted sense of purpose and meaning after diving too deep into rabbit holes.
Advertising clearly goes hand in hand with things you search and like. TikTok was accused of privacy violations recently. Others have accused social media platforms of monitoring heart rates and eye movements when viewing Apps. Sounds ridiculous, right? Conspiracy silly theory?
When it happens it’s weird.. But it does not feel real.. natural. It has no meaningful or paranormal context.. Instead it has a creepy and artificial feeling. You get an immediate impression that you’re a test subject, a spoke on a wheel. Nothing of it feels right, instead you just want to escape this hellscape that the future may be bringing us.
We have avoided the story of the crazy plane lady, mostly because we really had no idea what was occurring.
You’ve seen the memes of the woman from the flight screaming about the person in the back of the plane not being real..
For a refresher here:
From the point this occurred, countless videos are uploaded, memes were generated, and a legend was born. It became a summer fascination, coupled with the UAP hearings in front of Congress, many were alleging that what this woman saw was an alien. A ghost. A Shapeshifter. Those with different forms of logic stated that she was having an argument with someone over earbuds. TikTok took over the story and made videos from there.
It’s a matter fact, it was TikTok that revealed her name long before the major media did. If you were watching that social media content for about a month now, you already knew her name was Tiffany Gomas.
What is social media platform will not get much praise from main stream and legacy sources, her name is now official since the New York post and UK Daily Mail have reported it.
And the advertising and marketing executive has even created a website in the aftermath.
What makes things weirder is now that her name release and social media platforms have given her the avenues to apologize, more video has been released of the aftermath.
Police video of cops escorting her from the airport that we never saw before, not until her name was released.
It just seems like some sort of an embargo that was on. The story was lifted, but yet we maintain only receiving half of the information.
X X X
What do we mean by only have the information, will you know. We still don’t know who that shape shifting ghost like creature in the back of the plane is. It’s interesting as you watch the initial video of her screaming about the person or thing or entity in the back of the plane, but then, in the police video she’s audibly heard, stating that the plane was going to be bombed, and that it should not take flight.
She has been accused of drug abuse, alcoholism, insanity, and others more recently, as people have discovered that she is a marketing executive, have been saying that this is all for show and attention. A ploy. Some are alleging that she planned this entire social media blitz for attention and future fame.. it seems unlikely to us as the entire flareup of her video early summer seemed organic and unplanned.
But in the end, the world just wants to know. What did she say in the back of the plane. Just tell us, Tiffany, we’ve been on pins and needles for the entire summer.
Maybe in the book or in some future marketed special.
In the new Texas law, porn site users must be asked to provide digital identification; government-issued identification; or, public or private transactional data (mortgage, pay stub, etc.) to prove that they are adults and not minors.
The law will also require porn and adult websites to display the following warnings:
“Pornography is potentially biologically addictive, is proven to harm human brain development, desensitizes brain reward circuits, increases conditioned responses, and weakens brain function.”
“Exposure to this content is associated with low self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, impaired brain development, and other emotional and mental illnesses.”
“Pornography increases the demand for prostitution, child exploitation, and child pornography.”
Applicable websites will also have to list the phone number for the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
On the heels of a confusing and breathtaking week in social media, Elon Musk just concluded his poll that got millions of views and votes.. In the end, majority ruled: MUSK INVITED TRUMP BACK TO TWITTER..
Others including left and right wing users were restored this week.. Musk however declined to allow Alex Jones back to the platform.
But Saturday night live is here: “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” Musk tweeted Saturday night. “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Latin for “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
More from mainstream reporting:
Trump has previously said he would remain on his platform, Truth Social, instead of rejoining Twitter, but a change in his approach could hold major political implications. The former president announced this month that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, aiming to become only the second commander in chief ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms.
Asked on Saturday what he thought of Musk purchasing Twitter and his own future on the platform, Trump praised Musk but questioned whether the site would survive its current crises.
“They have a lot of problems,” Trump said in Las Vegas at the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting. “You see what’s going on. It may make it, it may not make it.”
Still, Trump said he liked Musk and “liked that he bought (Twitter.)”
“He’s a character and I tend to like characters,” the former president said of Musk. “But he’s smart.”
