boyfriend

Social media can be a real pit of despair.

Stephanie Hernandez of Arkansas posted some pictures to Snapchat, Sept. 27, of her boyfriend Rafael Gonzalez in various poses holding a gun to her head. It wasn't long after that she was found dead of a gun shot wound.

Daily Dot has more details on this sad story:

In one of the snaps, the gun is close to Hernandez's head. In another, Hernandez casually posted the phrase "Strap Chat" over the pic—referencing the slang term that means you're carrying a gun.

Hours later, Hernandez was dead. The 21-year-old mother of two young girls was discovered with a gunshot wound. According to the New York Daily News, police found the house "ransacked, with blood all over the floor."

Gonzalez was arrested on Monday. According to Arkansas's KARK, the 20-year-old was charged with murdering his girlfriend, is being held without bond, and faces an initial hearing on Tuesday morning.

Be nice to each other, people.

In what is clearly a riff on the viral video of a woman walking alone on the street, Cosmopolitan decided to duplicate the experience, film it and then show it to the significant others.

What follows is an eye-opening realization for the men watching as they get a clear look at what the reality is like for women.

However, nothing can beat the horrors of walking down the street alone as a white man.

Just in time for Halloween, horror film references galore.

It's "Boyfriend" like you've never heard it before -- all swaggy and live -- courtesy up-and-coming L.A.-based band Palter Ego. The dynamic duo of jazz musicians Jesse Palter and Sam Barsh sounds like a cross between Etta James and Sia.

Stellar.
