The author got the last XS pair she found online. Courtesy of the author The Adidas Originals Wide Leg Satin Pants have taken over every mom Facebook group I'm in. They're sold out — and have been selling out on repeat since they dropped. With 414 reviews and a 4.7-star rating, the hype is clearly justified. I'm very easy to influence. So when I started seeing the Adidas Originals Wide Leg Satin Animal Print Pants pop up in almost every one of my mom and fashion groups on Facebook, I knew that they were going to become a thing. I have been in enough mom group trend cycles to know that when something hits this fever pitch, there's usually a reason. So I did what any reasonable person would do: I went to find them. They are sold out everywhere I ended up buying an XS — the only size available when I went looking for a pair three weeks ago — even though I'm typically a 4 to 6 in pants. Surprisingly, they fit perfectly. The elastic waist is doing a lot of good work here, and the wide leg silhouette is forgiving in the best way. The length runs long on smaller frames, and at 5'6'', the XS runs a tad too long on me (I'm debating whether to hem them or commit to wearing them with platforms). The author styled the Adidas silk pants with neutral tees. Courtesy of the author The pants are currently marked down from $70 to $42 on the Adidas site — but it almost doesn't matter because they are sold out. They have 414 reviews and a 4.7-star rating on adidas.com, which is practically a standing ovation. At discksportinggoods.com, they've earned a 4.8 rating from 154 reviews. The adidas description says these are "a major pivot from a minimalist aesthetic," and that sentence alone explains why mom groups are losing their minds over them. I'm so over minimalism, with neutral everything and quiet luxury. They are so easy to style At first, I wore them only with neutrals like white tees and sneakers, but these are so cool that I've ventured into pairing them with my checkered Vans and loud T-shirts, and those work, too. I had also purchased the satin shirt as part of the set, but my package was lost in the mail, and I took that as a sign that maybe I only needed the pants. The author now wears her pants with other bold prints and tees. Courtesy of the author I recently took a girls' trip to Las Vegas, and I knew I had to bring my new go-to pants. I got so many compliments from other women while walking through the casinos. My friend also pointed out these Amazon dupes that were everywhere — a potential solution if you can't find the Adidas one in your size. And they are only $24.99. If you really want the OGs, your best bet is to check the Adidas site and Dick's Sporting Goods repeatedly and set up stock alerts if you can. The animal print version has been restocking in waves, selling out almost immediately each time — the same pattern I saw with the platform Crocs I bought two summers ago. I love my pants so much that I went ahead and placed an order for the Adidas x Farm Rio premium pants. These have a much bolder print, but I think I'm entering my maximalism era thanks to the brand. My advice is that if you want the popular satin pants, get on the waitlist now. And if a size appears in your cart, do not hesitate. Worst-case scenario: if you don't like them, you will for sure find someone who wants to buy them off you. Read the original article on Business Insider

Glendale Community College president Tiffany Hernandez blamed a "new AI system" for naming errors at graduation. Screenshot via Glendale Community College At Glendale Community College's commencement ceremony, several students' names were misread while walking onstage. President Tiffany Hernandez said the college was "using a new AI system," prompting boos from the crowd. The college later allowed the graduates to walk again. This time, a human read their names. Graduation is cause for celebration. At Glendale Community College, an AI-related flub made it cause for apology. The college's recent graduation ceremony outside of Phoenix, Arizona ground to a halt after a naming mishap. Several students' names weren't called as they crossed the stage. Others were left waiting after failing to hear their name at all. Thus began a 10-minute commencement debacle, with AI to blame. They later found an old-school solution: human name-callers. The first sign that something was amiss began when Lorelei Konopka, the college's vice president of academic affairs, asked the audience to "give us one second." The college's president, Tiffany Hernandez, then approached the lectern to reveal the cause of the error: "We're using a new AI system as our reader. That's a lesson learned for us." The audience booed at the mention of AI. It's something that's been happening at a handful of commencements — though most were because of references during speeches, not because of an AI-related ceremony error. Hernandez initially said that she would have to "disappoint many of you" by not letting them walk a second time with their names read aloud. "I'm so sorry," she said. "There's plenty of opportunities, I hope, to take some really good pictures, and to celebrate you with your loved ones as well." College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names pic.twitter.com/dwz6xFIWiv — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) May 18, 2026 Konopka approached the lectern to continue the ceremony, joking, "I have the part of the ceremony that doesn't require AI." After a series of long pauses, Hernandez announced that the students would be able to walk again — and this time, a human would announce their names. "Here's where pivoting works best," she said. In an email to Business Insider, a Glendale Community College representative wrote that there was a "technical issue" leading to some graduates not being named. "While the issue was corrected during the ceremony, we are sorry for the disruption it caused during what should have been a celebratory moment for our graduates and their families," the representative wrote. "We have also communicated directly with graduates to apologize for the experience." Graduate Grace Reimer told AZ Family that she noticed the error when she didn't hear much cheering during her walk. "My family is a pretty loud family," she said. Reimer also posted a screenshot of a letter from the Glendale Community College president on TikTok. Hernandez wrote in the letter that they were "actively reviewing" the issue, though there was no reference to AI. A screenshot of the apology letter sent from Glendale Community College President Tiffany Hernandez, which was later posted to TikTok. TikTok/@gracereimer2003 AI remains a contentious topic this graduation season. During former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's commencement address at the University of Arizona, students booed references to AI and automation. Real estate executive Gloria Caulfield was booed at one of the University of Central Florida's commencement ceremonies. So was Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta at Middle Tennessee State University. Borchetta's response: "Then do something about it. It's a tool. Make it work for you."
