Even in sickness, she’s “shining like fireworks.” Despite battling a serious coughing fit on stage during one of her concerts taking place during her Eras Tour in Singapore, Taylor Swift persevered, as shown in a new viral video on social media.Taking to his TikTok page on Monday (March 4), a Swiftie shared a video of the 34-year-old singer coughing and clearing her throat as she sang her hit song Delicate for her cheerful fans at the city’s National Stadium, which holds 55,000 people at full capacity.The fan captioned…

Facebook Marketplace can be a great platform if you want to declutter your home and make a little money while doing it. However, it can also be a treasure trove of hilarious and horrible listings. People post all sorts of stuff on there, perhaps not even realizing how funny it might be.This time, we chose listings with slightly misspelled titles.

The stew of illnesses swirling through the population right now has many of us sick, sometimes for weeks, but unsure what, exactly, we have.

The Tobacco Force in Smoking Causes Coughing. Image: Fantastic FestHonestly, I’m not exactly sure what the heck Smoking Causes Coughing is actually about. Something about the environment? Public health? The despair of humanity? It’s not totally clear, but it totally doesn’t matter. The latest film from Quentin Dupieux, a darling of the festival circuit thanks to weird and wonderful films like Rubber and Wrong, is beyond entertaining and hilarious. It’s a non-stop barrage of absurdist stories and humor that will make you…
