Introducing the "Hot Priest"
An excerpt from the Daily Dot -
This church introduced a “hot priest”—the comments were so thirsty, they had to turn them off
“Lead me not into temptation, Father… unless you’re free Friday.”
By Rachel Kiley
A TikTok video meant to introduce a new vicar to his parish has unexpectedly turned into the internet’s latest thirst trap. When St. Edward of the Confessor in Romford posted a simple welcome message from Father Jordan earlier this month, viewers quickly latched onto his looks and accent, flooding the comment section with innuendo until the church was forced to disable them entirely.

Three Sudden Death Answers in Job Interviews

These 3 'sudden death' answers instantly disqualify you in a job interview, expert says — what to say instead

The three 'sudden death' answers
Welch lays out the fatal interview responses. In each case, the problem isn’t just the words, it’s what they represent. These answers, she says, signal to employers you haven’t done your homework, you’re not invested in the role or you lack initiative.
1. 'I want to start my own business someday'
To a recruiter, that sounds like you may already be planning your exit. Companies know new hires can take years to pay off, so if you hint you’ll leave early, they might think twice about taking the risk. A better way to show ambition, Welch says, is showing an intention to satisfy your ambition in the company you’re interviewing with.
Baby Hairs Banned
News recently broke from Jamaica that a prominent high school for girls has reportedly banned students from wearing styled edges or baby hairs on campus.
Edges and baby hairs have become significant aspects of Black culture, representing style and pride. Recently, a controversy erupted when St. Andrew High School for Girls (SAHS), a well-known all-girls school in Kingston, Jamaica, announced a ban on styled edges for students.
Founded in 1925 by the Presbyterian and Wesleyan Methodist churches, SAHS has established itself as one of Jamaica’s most prestigious educational institutions. With the motto “Life More Abundant,” the school aims to nurture its students holistically, including mentally, physically, and spiritually. Currently, around 1,500 young women attend SAHS, many of whom pursue successful careers in fields such as law, medicine, and politics.

1. Show up late, and it signals a lack of preparation
If someone shows up even a minute late to an interview, it raises questions right away. Sure, emergencies happen. But most of the time, it signals poor planning.
When someone doesn’t protect time for the interview, I have to assume they won’t protect time for clients, deadlines, or teammates once they’re in the role. In fast-moving agency environments, that can create real problems.
Do this instead
- Aim to be early, even if it’s a virtual interview. Log on 10 minutes ahead of time and test your tech.
- If something unavoidable does come up, communicate right away. A quick message goes a long way.
- Treat the interview with the same respect you’d give a client meeting.

What if tooth cavities could become a thing of the past? Scientists may have found a way to make this happen.
According to SciTechDaily, researchers in Israel have discovered a natural compound that can reduce Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a key cause of tooth decay, by approximately 90%.
In simple terms, it targets the stubborn layer of bacteria that brushing and flossing may not always remove.
The compound, known as 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), is found in everyday vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. Even better, it's considered low in toxicity.
"The molecule, which was found to have low toxicity, could be added to toothpastes and mouthwashes," explained lead author Professor Ariel Kushmaro of the Avram and Stella Goldstein-Goren Department of Biotechnology and Engineering.
That's exciting news, especially since cavities are still one of the most common health problems on the planet. Nearly 2.5 billion people deal with them, according to the World Health Organization.
