Back in December of 2023, [Adele]( told The [Hollywood Reporter]( that she wasn’t fond of other people covering her songs since they cannot relate to them on the same level. “I don’t mind it when they do, but I’m just saying they’re never going to be able to emote it,” she said.

[Italian]( people are known for using their hands a lot when speaking. Italian hand gestures can vary a bit between northern and southern Italy, but one of the most universally recognizable is the pinched fingers or ["finger purse."]( That's the gesture in which the tips of the fingers and the thumb are pressed together (forming a purse shape) and pointed upward, often in a repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion, sometimes with one hand and sometimes with both. Along with the rhythm of punctuated emphasis on certain words, especially when speaking passionately, the finger purse is often used to convey a question with a sense of annoyance, exasperation or confusion. It's a gesticulation most of us associate with a classic Italian grandma or grandpa, but when you see it coming from a tiny little Italian person, it's utterly hilarious. A viral video, originally [shared by @guiseppe_matilde on TikTok](, shows a preschooler engaging in a passionate rant that is unmistakably Italian, both in the actual language she's speaking and in her hand gestures.

There are very few things more annoying than forgetting to return your library books, especially if you forget multiple days in a row. Before you know it fines have racked up to a few dollars instead of the original ten cents. To some a few bucks may not seem like enough to keep you from going back to the library to get more books, but for some it can be a pretty significant barrier. With everything becoming more expensive, the library is one of the only places people can go to check out things they need. [Many libraries offer more than just books](. You can check out free movies, audiobooks, computers, some libraries even have tools patrons can check out, making life a lot easier for people that just don't have the money to purchase these things outright. One Massachusetts library system didn't want fines to be a barrier to people needing to check things out, so they came up with a fun initiative.
