Coca-Cola energy drinks are coming to the US in 2020. It’s already available in 25 other countries, we’re just finally getting it. There will be four flavors: Original, cherry, sugar-free original, and sugar-free cherry. It has 114 milligrams of caffeine in a can which is around three times the amount in a normal can of Coke. Sounds…healthy?

The internet is a mean place and Instagram is trying out a new feature to help filter out all those angry comments from cyberbullies. It’s a new tool called “Restrict” which allows users to make comments invisible without the poster knowing about it. This is also called “shadow banning” and essentially lets the cyberbullies think they’re doling out insults, when all they’re actually doing is screaming into the void.

Footage from the sentencing of former Dallas cop Amber Guyer has gone viral after Brandt Jean, the brother of murder victim Botham Jean, told Amber that he didn’t want her to go to prison and that he forgave her. He said he loves her as a person and hopes that she finds Christ. Then Brandt asked the judge for permission to give her a hug. It’s very emotional to watch and I only wish I was capable of that kind of grace and forgiveness. I don’t know if I could do it.

Early showings of the movie “Joker” start tonight and the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain has issued a statement warning parents that “Joker” is NOT for kids. They said in a Facebook post: ‘Joker’ is Rated R and for good reason. There’s lots of very, very rough language, brutal violence, and overall bad vibes… It’s not for kids, and they won’t like it, anyway. There’s no Batman.”
