The White Party
What a night. Hope everyone had an amazing 4th
— Michael Rubin (@michaelrubin)
11:45 PM • Jul 5, 2024
Well, first I want to cover the infamous White Party that happened again on this 4th of July. I'm actually excited about this, and I know people don't really like the phrase “Illuminati” being thrown around and to be honest, I do lean more towards it just being a normal party, but it's SO WEIRD.
This party was actually seen as a regular party, however, the part where people started getting uncomfortable, was when pictures started surfacing of Michael Ruben, the billionaire host, touching others in a very “I run this place” sort of way. Yeah I mean they are celebrities and they probably know each other, but who would sacrifice time with their families to spend time with a billionaire who likes groping his guests?
Also, the person who came up with white parties (where all the guests wear white) was none other than P Diddy. I don't know dude but something's not right.
However, let's throw the conspiracy stuff out the window for a bit. The party was held at a 2 acre 50 million 8000 ft Oceanfront Mansion in Watermill, N.Y.
Around 400 people made the cut for this year's guest list with bidders paying up to 1-5 million just for an invitation who were rejected. Looks like you need to have influence and fame alongside money to even be considered. Want to take a guess at who the guests were? Just think of all the big stars, for example, Beyonce, Jay Z, Tom Brady, Drake, Leonardo Di Caprio, Kim Kardashian, etc.
From what I know, the party started at 5 pm on Thursday and ended around 2 am to 6 pm on Friday. The cuisine was Jewish and Italian heavy with sports games on the beach, fireworks, and music performances.

Rishi Sunak resigns, Keir Starmer becomes new prime minister of the UK
Keir Starmer (left) and Rishi Sunak (right)
So the UK just had a national election and the current ruling party suffered a drastic loss. The worst loss the Conservative Party has suffered in history. Rishi Sunak, who was the most recent Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Conservative party, has announced he will resign from leadership as soon as arrangements for a new successor are in place.
Why resign? It’s because he's lost all his confidence in the parliament and this was the more peaceful option rather than facing an internal rebellion from his party after such a loss. The opposing party on the other hand enjoyed a landslide victory. Keir Starmer of the Labour Party is set to take the stage as the new Prime Minister of the UK.
Rishi does kind of look like a cardboard cutout. Also the guy on the left is like 6’7 I think
French Legislative Elections
In the case of France, the party that ended up winning the most seats in the legislative election was a leftist coalition called the “New Popular Front”. Emmanuel Macron's centrist party came in 2nd with a far-right political party getting 3rd spot.
No party has won the majority and this is a looming indicator of more possible instability. The legislative election is to elect the members of parliament who then vote for a prime minister. The current prime minister Gabriel Attal will be resigning this Monday as Macron, the president, prepares to form a new government according to the election results in the coming weeks.

John Cena announces 2025 retirement
John Cena has announced his retirement in 2025 with Wrestlemania 41 being his last. John Cena has clarified that unlike most wrestling stars who come back from retirement, he will not, as he doesn't see himself doing it after the age of 50 (he's 47). Before retirement, however, there will be lots of fights and a “final fight” so fans can have an action-packed farewell and the last glimpse of their beloved star in WWE.
John Cena in my opinion has to be one of the most famous people in the world. I know some of you will read this and be wondering what I'm talking about but I promise you he is. Go to any 3rd world country (some of which are the most populous) and the people might not know any celebrities other than maybe some famous football (soccer) players but they sure as heck will know who John Cena is.
John Cena, Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), and Michael Jackson in my opinion compete for the #1 spot of the most famous people in the world. Followed by either Ronaldo or Messi in #2 with Angelina Jolie or Princess Diana in #3.
Also Margot Robbie is pregnant with husband Tom Ackerley 😱

Kai Cenat / Mr. Beast collab on July 3
Video warning! loud with strong language and staged violence
Davis just BLEW UP Kai Cenat’s whole room… 💀

I know I mentioned Kai Cenat in the last newsletter as well but this collaboration with Mr. Beast was huge on social media. I promise it's worth your while.
Kai is part of a team called AMP which is kind of like Faze , if you know about them, and the team lives and makes content together in a content house based in Atlanta. Every 4th of July they have a fireworks war where they invade each other's rooms bombing them with fireworks.
To hype up the 4th of July stream for this year, Kai collabed with Mr.Beast where in the clip he faked some drama with his team member “Davis” in which he ignited Kai's whole room full of fireworks presumably lighting his whole room on fire.
The room was revealed to be a fake created by Mr. Beast for Kai to help promote his stream in turn for a promotion of his Feastables chocolate bar. The video clip is crazy.

Alpacas Without Fur
【悲報】アルパカさん、やせたかなしい姿で見つかる
#ほっこりトゥイッター
#アルパカ#やなせたかし— 滝沢ガレソ (@tkzwgrs)

Ever wondered what an alpaca looks like underneath its wool? Well definitely not like hairless chimps who look like athletes on steroids but instead their build reminds me more of Mr. Crocker from Fairly Odd Parents 💀. Check out the video.
I got the same shock when I realized baby parrots don't look like anything from what they show in the movie “Rio” but instead look like raw chicken breasts with quills. Both alpacas and parrots/birds make up for it in cuteness when they grow out their exteriors fully though, so it is what it is.
