  + stars: | 2024-10-30 | by ( Sophia Pargas | Sophia Pargas Is A News Associate For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +9 min
In a social media landscape often dominated by playful dances and aesthetic montages, one surprising trend remains steadfast: historical grave cleaning. Stacey Habecker, known as “The Clean Girl” online, caused intense controversy with her upbeat and vibrant approach to grave cleaning. Despite the outcry of comments, reaction videos and expert advice, “The Clean Girl” continued creating and re-uploading grave cleaning videos to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok — getting hundreds of millions of views across her platforms. In some cultures, grave cleaning is part of family duty and tradition, such as with Día de los Muertos in Mexican and Central American culture. For members like Justin Frost, the hobby of grave cleaning came as a natural extension of a desire to learn more about his family history.

McDonald's is nixing its self-serve soft drinks and customers are expressing their dismay. Fans of the fast-food chain said the switch was the "end of an era" and a "tremendous loss." Some people expressed concerns about the cleanliness of the soda machines and that perhaps the new method would be more sanitary. "I went to a McDonald's that was doing this already I waited for 15 mins for a refill on the drinks," wrote Alexis Coon. "They aren't staffed to refill drinks," wrote Wil Rabquer.

As Democrats and Republicans debate raising the debt ceiling, they both agree that a default would be disastrous for the economy. WSJ explains why U.S. debt has become the center of the economy. Photo Illustration: Madeline MarshallJohn Houck, a 63-year-old Republican who lives near Phoenix, doesn’t want the U.S. to ruin its credit by failing to pay its bills. But he worries that cutting the military could threaten border security, and that reductions to Medicare and Social Security amount to an unkept promise to Americans who paid into those systems. “I want them to stop printing money,” Mr. Houck said.

Elon Musk for months has said "excellent" Twitter employees will be rewarded for their efforts. Employees at Twitter are frustrated by Elon Musk's unkept promises. The latest is paid parental leave, which is now just two weeks, down from a previous paid leave policy of 20 weeks. Outside of that leave period, Twitter employees will be able to take unpaid leave up to the amount mandated by state law. In California, where Twitter is still based, workers are legally entitled to 12 weeks of protected, but unpaid, parental leave.
