Instagram went into meltdown today after the “Angel Blush” filter turned everyone’s noses into… tomatoes. Influencers who posted “cute” selfies woke up to thousands of comments saying: “Why you look like a ripe cherry?”

Even brands jumped in on the roast — Chipotle tweeted a pic of burritos with the caption: “This filter has y’all lookin’ seasoned.”

Tumblr turned it into a “bless your blush” meme template by lunch.

🗳️ POLITICS: CANDIDATE CONFUSES CROWD WITH MAGIC TRICK

A local mayoral candidate tried to impress voters by pulling a rabbit out of a hat at a town hall. Problem is — the rabbit bolted, and he chased it around the stage for two full minutes.

TikTok captured it with Benny Hill music.

Reddit dubbed him “Mayor Houdini.”

Even his campaign account leaned in, tweeting: “At least he didn’t pull a disappearing act on y’all!”
