Actual billionaire Warren Buffett is trolling Donald Trump over his tax returns.

$

Donald Trump is the first presidential candidate in decades to refuse to release his tax returns, and actual billionaire and successful businessperson Warren Buffett thinks that's because "he's afraid." Speaking in Buffett's hometown of Omaha, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway endorsed Clinton and rejected the Donald's excuse that being under audit was a valid reason not to release:

"I've got news for him, I'm under audit too. I would be delighted to meet him any time, any place before the election. There are no rules against showing your tax returns and just let[ting] people ask questions about the items that are on there. ...How many of you would be afraid to have your tax return made public? You're only afraid if you got something to be afraid about. He's not afraid of the IRS. He's afraid because of you."

The "Oracle of Omaha," who has pledged to give away 95% of his wealth, tried to explain to the young adults in the room the difference between a tax return and what Trump has offered.

[Trump] said 'none of your business,' which did not go over so well, and then he started giving various explanations. And one of the explanations was that he had given his financial statement to the election commission and listed his assets and liabilities. ...But believe me, as someone who’s filled out financial statements and someone who has filled out an income tax return, I call tell you, they are two very different animals. You will learn a whole lot more about Donald Trump if he produces his income tax return.

Finally, Buffett reflected on the biggest political story of the moment, Trump's feud with the grieving parents of a fallen Army captain, invoking the famous moment of the McCarthy era, "Have you no sense of decency, sir?"

People shared 15 of the worst possible ways to respond to someone saying "I love you."

Saying "I love you" to someone for the first time is scary—sure, they might not say it back, but what if they somehow say something even worse? You might just be setting yourself up for heartbreak. A bunch of Redditors recently answered the question, "What is the worst response to 'I love you?'" Their answers, most of which stem from experience, will make you put those emotional walls you spent years removing back up. These 15 responses are going to make you want to bury your feelings deep down inside forever.

1. Zefie10 is not a fan of the condescending response.

Awwww, that's sweet.

2. Ugh, come on, Pigboywonder720. No take backs!

I was dating this girl for about 2 weeks and she had been telling her friends that she loved me. She brought it up to me and and I told her I did not quite feel the same way. After leaving her house that day, she said I love you, and without thinking I said I love you too. After quickly realizing the mistake I made, I turned around and said "wait, no I don't". That one did not go over too well.

3. This heartwarming quote from Babe is not an adequate response to a confession of love, according to najing_ftw.

That'll do, pig.

4. Shlaaap shares the British way to break someone's heart.

"Haha cheers"

5. Landlubber77 was not impressed with Han's response to Leia in The Empire Strikes Back.

"I know"

Gets frozen in carbonite

6. therealquiz's answer hits right where it hurts.

Sorry.

7. This one is pretty rough too. Sorry to hear that, Shitty_McFuckface.

"I used to love you too"

Said by my ex-wife when she was leaving me.

8. katinka1980 is essentially Ted Mosby.

Already?!

9. Mursa28 takes awful "I love you" responses into the digital age.

New phone, who dis?

10. On that note, alinawright reminds us all to use our words.

Any. Fucking. Emoji. At. All.

11 . What L_carson fails to mention is that, if you look at the screenshot he included, you can see that the girl then waited sixteen agonizing days to text him again.

I'm a little late, but when I was younger I had a girl text me a picture saying she loved me, and I responded "I bet I love me more than you do."

Can't pick up on the 'clues'

12. This is no time to think about food, seventyforester.

I'm hungry. Lets get something to eat

13. Finger guns, while appropriate in many situations, are not appropriate after someone tells you they love you. Road2State gets it.

*finger guns *

14. minakali knows how to (unintentionally) deliver an ultimatum.

"You better."

Somehow my automatic response to my current boyfriend the first time he said it. I was horrified when it came out of my mouth.

15. Muffinizer1 might win for worst response.

Shut up baby I know it.

Monday night, Republican presidential nominee and fan of posing awkwardly with food Donald J. Trump tweeted a picture of himself sitting down to a nice refreshing bucket of KFC chicken on his private jet. It's a great example of how relatable he is as a human being.

Many people on Twitter became embroiled in a very serious argument over whether KFC or Popeye's is more fitting for a presidential hopeful, while the comedians did what they do best—crack jokes in defiance of the terribleness that is this whole goddamn election.

On Monday Miley Cyrus and her new Beagle Barbie instagrammed a video of themselves riding in the passenger seat of a car while Miley and her definitely-ex-and-maybe-current-fiancé Liam Hemsworth sing along to Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself." It's sweet until Hemsworth, who's driving, makes a startled sound like he saw a monster, and then Miley says "BABE, STOP, SERIOUSLY" and the video abruptly ends.

The dress Margot Robbie wore to the 'Suicide Squad' premiere will make your inner child rejoice.

Margot Robbie wore a sparkly unicorn Alexander McQueen gown to the Suicide Squad premiere on Monday, because she is a sparkly unicorn of a person. Her character Harley Quinn would be very proud of her for wearing the off-beat dress rather than sticking to a more traditional red carpet look.

Aw, it looks like the unicorn is hugging her.

The dress looks like something you would dream up as a kid, but somehow still looks very fashion-forward and sophisticated on Robbie. That's probably because she is very hot and could literally wear a gown made out of deflated balloons and still look glamorous.

Robbie's costar Jared Leto tried to keep up by wearing a fancy-shmancy embroidered jacket and a "son-of-Trump" inspired hairdo, but it stood absolutely no chance next to the unicorn dress.

Good try, though.

Obviously, people on the internet were big fans.

The bold, dark gown is definitely a departure from Robbie's usual hyper-feminine style, but the whole "mythical and dark enchantress" look definitely works for her. Suicide Squad comes out on August 5.

Mom reduced to tears after surprising yet sweet prank by identical twin sons.

Identical Irish twins Shane and James Duncan live in New York and London, respectively, so seeing them together at their parents' home in Ireland is a rare occurrence. So using their mother's complete ignorance that they were both in town, the twins decided to play a trick on her.

Anne thinks she's talking to James, who's helping her fix something in the backyard. Until James emerges from the house carrying a toolbox and Anne suddenly realizes (with a little NSFW language) that she'd been talking to Shane the whole time.

The guys had switched clothing at some point after Shane arrived at the house so Anne would have no idea the man she thought was James had actually turned into Shane. When she sees them at the same time, she's understandably floored.

The joke is revealed within the first 30 seconds of the video; the other minute and a half is just Anne hugging her son and not letting go, because that's how moms are. Oh, moms—please never change. Not that y'all were planning to.


Will Smith says what we're all thinking about Trump's treatment of women.

Sixteen years into the Willennium, Earth is reckoning with the candidacy of one Donald J. Trump, and Will Smith is outraged over his treatment of women.

Making the rounds promoting his new film Suicide Squad (in case you haven't already seen the trailer before every YouTube video), Smith spoke up about the way Trump speaks about womankind.

“For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary. And for people to applaud, that is absolutely f**king insanity to me,” an emotional Smith told Australia's news.com.au.

TL;DR Smith to Trump.

He added, “My grandmother would have smacked my teeth out of my head if I had referred to a woman as a fat pig. And I cannot understand how people can clap for that. It’s absolutely collective insanity."

Smith would be horrified if one of his sons treated women the way the Republican presidential candidate does, going as far as to say that, “If one of my sons, I am getting furious just thinking about it, if one of my sons said that in a public place, they couldn’t even live in my house anymore.”

Jeb!'s reaction says it all.

Smith has a message for America at large:

For me, deep down in my heart, I believe that America won’t and we can’t (elect Mr Trump). Of all the things he has said, and we could go through the laundry list, that was the one that was such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul. I just cannot figure out how people can clap for that.

This guy is in Suicide Squad, so he knows a thing or two about villains.

Ashley Graham is now being body-shamed for being too skinny and she's not having it.

In an essay posted to the website Lenny Letter entitled "Shamed if I Do, Shamed if I Don't," plus size model Ashley Graham spoke candidly about the hate she receives for appearing "too fat" or "too skinny" by her followers. This time Graham, who says she is a size 14, received a lot of negative criticism for appearing "too thin" according to her fans after she posted the following picture to Instagram.

Glam squad magic 💕

A photo posted by A S H L E Y G R A H A M (@theashleygraham) on

The negative reactions from fans prompted the self proclaimed body acceptance activist to pen a rebuke for Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's website and online newsletter.

To some I'm too curvy. To others I'm too tall, too busty, too loud, and, now, too small — too much, but at the same time not enough. When I post a photo from a "good angle," I receive criticism for looking smaller and selling out. When I post photos showing my cellulite, stretch marks, and rolls, I'm accused of promoting obesity. The cycle of body-shaming needs to end. I'm over it.

Graham, who started a campaign called #BeautyBeyondSize, wants to make it clear that body shaming doesn't just apply to one body type, but that women of all kinds of diverse sizes are torn down by other women, and often.

With that in mind, she wants to promote an encouraging and open environment for all women and girls.

Body shaming isn't just telling the big girl to cover up. It's trying to shame me for working out. It's giving "skinny" a negative connotation. It's wanting me to be plus size, or assuming I'm pregnant because of some belly bulge. What type of example are we setting for young girls and their self-esteem if grown adults are on Instagram calling other women "cowards" for losing weight, or "ugly" for being overweight?

💖 #FabulousFriday 💖

In regards to the photo in question, Graham says her weight has fluctuated, and she is heavier now than she was three years ago. But being a famous model and all, she knows how to work her angles—and that's why she appeared thinner in the now infamous picture. In short, chill out everyone.

Justin Bieber threw major shade at Taylor Swift and Twitter is rejoicing.

Justin Bieber has apparently chosen sides in the Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift feud dividing the nation. His allegiance falls not with his fellow blonde cultural appropriator, but with his fellow smooth narcissist. The Biebs posted a pic of him FaceTiming with Ye (who is apparently hanging out with a Zac Efron lookalike?), captioning it with a slick, "taylor swift what up."

The slam was a long time coming. Not just of because of Justin's allegiance to Kanye, but because Taylor has been shading him for years, and not only because she's BFFs with his ex Selena Gomez. This past April, Taylor pretty much refused to applaud for him at the iHeartRadio Awards.

Within hours, #TaylorSwiftWhatUp was trending worldwide on Twitter, the succinct Declaration of War immediately becoming the new, "Miley what's good?"

People are praising Kim, Kanye, and Justin as a holy trinity.

And commenting the catchphrase on all her pics.

But in the end, the realest shade Justin throws at Taylor is by not even following her on Twitter.

As John Cusack says in High Fidelity, "what really matters is what you like, not what you are like." You can tell a lot about a person by their Netflix queue—and even more, what the holy Netflix algorithm spits out based on what's already been viewed. Next time you're Netflix and Chilling with a special someone, take a look at their screen, because oftentimes, they are what they watch.

1.

What this says about them: They're someone in their 30s who likes to talk about themselves, and has a bit of a flare for the dramatic.

2.

What this says about them: They like to get out and explore new things, but still think their way through it.

3.

What this says about them: They come from afar, and bring with them a *quirky* set of views and practices that are both annoying and endearing to the average American.

4.

What this says about them: Inspired by true, sexy stories, so look forward to a true, sexy story.

5.

What this says about them: This person has either earnestly read all the classics and wants to revisit the magic, or simply uses movies as a cheat-sheet so they don't have to read. Either way, they're pretentious.

6.

What this says about them: The center of a Venn Diagram that has "Mushy" on one end and "Broey" on the other, the fan of the Inspiring Sports Documentary is in touch with their feelings, but needs something as cut-and-dry as sports to take them there.

7.

What this says about them: The fan of the mockumentary is snarky, and proud of it. They are prone to laughing at their own jokes.

8.

What this says about them: This person is super-fond of the marijuana, but you probably figured that out the second you walked into their apartment.

What this says about them: This person didn't learn what kissing was until junior year of college, and likes to watch high schoolers fall in love to imagine what could have been.

"WHO WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL THE SECOND YOU FALL ASLEEP."

...into an EVIL DORY NIGHTMARE. More like Losing Dory because NO THANKS. Yikes.

Good thing he noticed before presenting the item to a young, impressionable girl who might never be able to rid herself of the memory of demon Dory staring at her with its dead, empty eye sockets.

"Night, night, honey! Want your night light on?" "NO WAY MOM, PLEASE NO, I'LL BE GOOD, I PROMISE! SEE, SLEEPING ALREADY, HONKSHOOO, HONKSHOO" (that's what kids sound like when they pretend snore).

Patton Oswalt wrote a moving post about grief 102 days after the unexpected death of his wife, Michelle McNamara. She died in her sleep in April at the age of 46. Nearly four months later, the actor and comedian is learning to cope with his sudden loss.

His heartbreaking essay describes the anguish of grief, and how he's focusing the energy he can muster.

Thanks, grief. Thanks for making depression look like the buzzing little bully it always was. Depression is the tallest...

Posted by Patton Oswalt on Monday, August 1, 2016

Here's the full text of the post:

Thanks, grief.

Thanks for making depression look like the buzzing little bully it always was. Depression is the tallest kid in the 4th grade, dinging rubber bands off the back of your head and feeling safe on the playground, knowing that no teacher is coming to help you.

But grief? Grief is Jason Statham holding that 4th grade bully's head in a toilet and then fucking the teacher you've got a crush on in front of the class. Grief makes depression cower behind you and apologize for being such a dick.

If you spend 102 days completely focused on ONE thing you can achieve miracles. Make a film, write a novel, get MMA ripped, kick heroin, learn a language, travel around the world. Fall in love with someone. Get 'em to love you back.

But 102 days at the mercy of grief and loss feels like 102 years and you have shit to show for it. You will not be physically healthier. You will not feel "wiser." You will not have "closure." You will not have "perspective" or "resilience" or "a new sense of self." You WILL have solid knowledge of fear, exhaustion and a new appreciation for the randomness and horror of the universe. And you'll also realize that 102 days is nothing but a warm-up for things to come.

And...

You will have been shown new levels of humanity and grace and intelligence by your family and friends. They will show up for you, physically and emotionally, in ways which make you take careful note, and say to yourself, "Make sure to try to do that for someone else someday." Complete strangers will send you genuinely touching messages on Facebook and Twitter, or will somehow figure out your address to send you letters which you'll keep and re-read 'cause you can't believe how helpful they are. And, if you're a parent? You'll wish you were your kid's age, because the way they embrace despair and joy are at a purer level that you're going to have to reconnect with, to reach backwards through years of calcified cynicism and ironic detachment.

McNamara & Oswalt at LACMA's Art And Film Gala.

Lose your cool, and you're saved.

Michelle McNamara got yanked off the planet and out of life 102 days ago. She left behind an amazing unfinished book, about a horrific series of murders that everyone -- including the retired homicide detectives she worked with -- was sure she'd solve. The Golden State Killer. She gave him that name, in an article for Los Angeles Magazine. She was going to figure out the real name behind it.

She left Alice, her 7 year-old daughter. But not before putting the best parts of her into Alice, like beautiful music burned onto a CD and sent out into the void on a spaceship.

And she left me. 102 days into this.

I was face-down and frozen for weeks. It's 102 days later and I can confidently say I have reached a point where I'm crawling. Which, objectively, is an improvement. Maybe 102 days later I'll be walking.

Any spare energy I've managed to summon since April 21st I've put toward finishing Michelle's book. With a lot of help from some very amazing people. It will come out. I will let you know. It's all her. We're just taking what's there and letting it tell us how to shape it. It's amazing.

And I'm going to start telling jokes again soon. And writing. And acting in stuff and making things I like and working with friends on projects and do all the stuff I was always so privileged to get to do before the air caught fire around me and the sun died. It's all I knew how to do before I met Michelle. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do now without her.

And not because, "It's what Michelle would have wanted me to do." For me to even presume to know what Michelle would have wanted me to do is the height of arrogance on my part. That was one of the many reasons I so looked forward to growing old with her. Because she was always surprising me. Because I never knew what she'd think or what direction she'd go.

Okay, I'll start being funny again soon. What other choice do I have? Reality is in a death spiral and we seem to be living in a cackling, looming nightmare-swamp. We're all being dragged into a shadow-realm of doom by hateful lunatics who are determined to send our planet careening into oblivion.

Hey, there's that smile I was missing!

Look at that, Oswalt took a subtle jab at Trump and managed to make everyone smile. He's already back at it again.

Eric Trump thinks strong women like Ivanka don't 'allow' themselves to be sexually harassed.

Eric Trump and a metric ton of hair gel appeared on CBS This Morning to discuss the backlash his father has been receiving on, well, a bevy of different subjects. But the one that's receiving a heap of backlash of its own is his explanation of his father's recent comments about harassment in the workplace.

"I don't think she would allow herself to be subjected to that." Eric Trump addresses Roger Ailes sexual harassment controversy: http://cbsn.ws/2arheWu

Posted by CBS This Morning on Tuesday, August 2, 2016

In an interview with Kirsten Powers from USA Today, the elder Trump had discussed the allegations of sexual harassment against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes (who Trump has consistently defended), feigning ignorance that more women in addition to Gretchen Carlson had made accusations.

When asked what would happen if his daughter found herself sexually harassed in the workplace, Trump said, "I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case."

Yes. He said that in the case of sexual harassment, the victim should be the one to leave her job. That happened. You might not remember because it's a full time job to keep up with the ludicrous things this man says.

So in the interview above with CBS, Eric Trump has to do his due diligence as Donald's offspring and try to clarify his father's comments. Too bad he just ended up making things worse. Oh, the misogynistic apple doesn't fall far from the misogynistic tree.

Ivanka is a strong, powerful woman. She wouldn’t allow herself to be objected to it. And by the way, you should certainly take it up with human resources. And I think she definitely would, as a strong person. At the same time, I don’t think she would allow herself to be subjected to it.

Now, the word "sexism" has been thrown around a lot during this election, but you can't argue that saying "strong" women like Ivanka don't "allow" themselves to get sexually harassed is pretty overt. Just ask Megyn Kelly.

What's next, one of the Trumps is going to call women "dogs" or something?! Oh wait.

Those hips and rippled belly was home to my little babes for 9 months

With the Internet obsessed with Fit Moms and flooding every Tuesday with "transformation" photos, it's important to remind yourself it's okay to take some time before "transforming."

"It might not be the 'transformation' body so many ogle or aspire to!" White says, "And sure, some days I wish it didn't jiggle so much and was a bit 'firmer' but then I just remember the awesome shit it's done and cut myself some slack and go eat a cheeseburger, because we earned it."

Seagull statue with big boobs causes even more massive controversy in Massachusetts town.

Move over, Hillary vs. Trump, because this is the most controversial issue of our time: residents of the small coastal town of New Bedford, Massachusetts, are in uproar over a scantily clad seagull statue with a womanly shape. Named "Seagull Cinderella" by its artist Donna Dodson, the voluptuous seabird has riled residents of the town, and some are even calling for its removal.

"[The statue] is ridiculous and makes our city look like a joke," reads an online petition to remove the statue, posted by resident Ray Concannonto. "With New Bedford's rich history, we do not want visitors' lasting impressions to be [this]. What a waste. It needs to go. Remove it, or replace it with something beautiful."

But the statue has its staunch defenders, including town resident Garrett Rosa who started a competing petition to keep the statue up.

"New Bedford is so full of art and out of the ordinary things it would be silly to remove this glorious statue," reads Rosa's petition. "This man is just clearly uncomfortable by the female form and hates the art."

Which will you support in the great seagull with boobs controversy?

Thoughts and prayers go out to the residents of New Bedford as they struggle to reach a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

A creepy One Direction fan took a picture of Niall sleeping on a plane. He was not thrilled.

Well, boy band fans have achieved a new level of creepy. One fan recently sat next to One Direction's Niall Horan on a flight from London to Chicago. And while Niall declined taking a selfie (because he was feeling ill), he did not explicitly deny a fan from taking a photo of him during his in-flight nap.

The next thing he knew, a picture of him sleeping had been posted to the fan's social media accounts. The caption reads:

And to sum up the PERFECT European adventure, I sat directly next to Niall from One Direction for 9 hours on my flight home from London last night. He was sick and asked for no selfies, but here is a pic I snapped when he was sleeping lol he was so friendly! Talked about Ireland, LSE, lolla, and more. Not a British Duke... But an Irish Popstar will do thanks for treating me so well, Europe!

Yes, "No selfies" definitely translates into "Please take pictures of me whilst I sleep." Unsurprisingly, Niall was not so thrilled that images of his airplane nap were all over the internet.

Of course, many other, less creepy 1D fans were sympathetic about the incident.

This is the life you lead, Niall. It isn't easy being cute and famous.
