And it seems the lyrics are to blame.
Beyoncé sings in the instant summer banger:
"Now, I just fell in love, and I just quit my job""I'm gonna find new drive""They work me so damn hard""Work by nine, then off past five""And they work my nerves, that's why I cannot sleep at night"Naturally, it took no time at all for enterprising Twitter users to turn it into a meme.

For others, Beyoncé's lyrics were open to interpretation—maybe she doesn't want you to quit your job, per sé, but to have a life outside the job you have.
\u201cBeyonc\u00e9 said, \u201cRelease your job.\u201d I don\u2019t think she meant quit your job. I think she meant have a life outside of coding on a daily & waking up at 5am to do so. Prioritise your mental health, sleep & touch grass on the weekends. It\u2019s not everyday tech, babes.\u201d

	Jokes aside, Beyoncé has a certified banger on her hands, with nearly 6 million views on the official lyric video as of this writing. 
"Break My Soul" is currently the No. 1 trending song in music, according to the YouTube charts, and is showing no signs of slowing down.

	If nothing else, the success of this song is already adding to Beyoncé's most impressive net worth, meaning she can afford to quit her job any time she wants to.
Unfortunately, though, you cannot—as another user hilariously pointed out.
\u201cDon\u2019t let Beyonc\u00e9 get you packed up. Shorty a whole billionaire. She can quit her job. You need to be up at 7\u201d

Sep 12, 2025
Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."
Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women. 
Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
