Hey, good news, everybody—according to Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, lies are now "alternative facts." On Sunday's Meet the Press, Conway told Chuck Todd that Sean Spicer's assertion that more people watched Trump's inauguration than any other was just an "alternative fact." Needless to say, Twitter took the term and ran with it. Here are some of the funniest results.

Piers Morgan proposes a 'men's march,' immediately shut down by his own cohost on Twitter.

Piers Morgan is a television personality on the show Good Morning Britain, and he just loves to stir up controversy by saying really stupid stuff. It's usually hard to tell if he's being sincere, but the wrath he incurs is always heartfelt and furious.

After millions of people across all seven continents took to the streets on Saturday to participate in Women's Marches, Morgan sent out one of his patented Dumb Tweets.

Referring to the "global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists" could hardly be more infuriating, especially considering many men attended these events—which have nothing to do with emasculating anyone and everything to do with equality and respect.

Anyway, Morgan's coworker on Good Morning Britain didn't love it either.

Neither did many celebrities and civilian tweeters alike:

Naturally, Morgan later implied that the whole thing was a joke. STOP EXPRESSING YOUR FEARS, PIERS.

On Saturday, Blac Chyna, Rob Kardashian's baby mama, posted a Snapchat video of herself on a scale, showing that she's lost 34 pounds since giving birth to Dream Kardashian in November. She had been looking forward to getting her body to snap back after this pregnancy, and it seems like she's well on her way. The question is, how?

A video posted by blacchyna snapchats (@blacchynasnapchats) on

The video was captioned, "From 192.2 to 158.2," according to Us Weekly. Chyna, whose real name is Angela Renee "I Want To Be a Kardashian" White, is aiming to get back to her pre-birth weight of 130 pounds. Some of her followers suggested that maybe Chyna had gotten surgery of some type to lose the weight, but according to Chyna herself, that's not the case.

The reality star posted a video in which she credits her rapid weight loss to breastfeeding, saying,

So I posted a picture of my belly yesterday and the only reason it got that flat, you guys, is from breast-feeding and breast-pumping and from my body already being small before my pregnancy. If you are pregnant right now, I would highly recommend breast-feeding and breast-pumping because it’ll get your weight back down fast.

Lively, pictured above with (very pregnant) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar Amber Tamblyn, was just one of the many stars who took to the streets to march in solidarity for women's rights.

Blake Lively uploaded this picture with a fellow marcher named Phoebe, who uses a wheelchair, to explain why she felt it was important to participate in the peaceful protest.

I marched for my daughters, for my friends, for strangers, for myself, for Phoebe here in this picture who I met as she motivated everyone she came across. My march wasn't driven by hate. It was rooted in a very simple fact-- we are all equal. I believe everyone can agree on that. Thank you to everyone who marched all over the world. I felt so hopeful and deeply grateful. #whyimarch

Celebrities popped up at many of the 600+ Women's Marches worldwide on Saturday, include Emma Watson, Chrissy Teigen, Amy Schumer, Madonna, JanelleMonáe, Whoopi Goldberg, Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys, Jake Gyllenhaal, Miley Cyris, Katy Perry, John Legend, Nick Offerman, Cher, Ian McKellen, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Gillian Anderson, to name a few.

Does 'Bachelor' contestant Corinne's new Instagram mean she and Nick are engaged?

Good news, friends! We have our first conspiracy of The Bachelor's 21st season. We've already told you about contestant Corinne (and her nanny, Raquel). Well. Now Bachelor fans are speculating that Corinne may have won the whole thing.

Their evidence? An Instagram photo Corinne posted that clearly shows a big, sparkly ring on her finger. (Corinne has taken down the photo since the internet went INSANE over it, but luckily, Elite Daily managed to screen grab it first. Thanks, Elite Daily!)

Did NICK put that ring on that finger?!

Fans of The Bachelor promptly lost their shit in the comments.

This season of The Bachelor has finished filming, so if Nick did get engaged at the end of it, that woman is likely wearing an engagement ring. However, the Bachelor couple traditionally has to be very secretive in the couple months between the end of filming and the day the season finale airs so as not to spoil the ending for fans.

SO, what I'm saying is, let's not freak out about this Corinne thing quite yet. She may not know how to slice cucumbers or make cheese pasta (whatever that is), but chances are she wouldn't let it slip if she and Nick actually did end up together.

Plus, we don't even know if that's an engagement ring she's wearing. By the looks of this other Instagram photo on her account, girl just likes to wear a lot of jewelry.

Of course, given that Corinne is this season's villain, it's entirely possible that posting this photo was an extremely calculated move. One of the theories being tossed around the Someecards offices is that Corinne is purposely creating buzz to ensure that she's cast on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise. Only time will tell.

Politician shares a 'fat women' joke about the Women's March, swiftly eviscerated on Twitter.

Indiana Senator Jack E. Sandlin is facing serious backlash after posting an offensive meme about the women who participated in the highly attended Women's March on Saturday.

Does this look like the face of a man who would make fun of women? Actually, don't answer that.

On Sunday, Senator Sandlin, a Republican who represents the 36th District in Johnson County Indiana, posted an image that read "In one day Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years"— directly referencing Michelle Obama's campaign to fight obesity. The image was shared from Mike's Corner, a Facebook group that often shares anti-liberal, anti-leftist memes.

Jack Sandlin has since deleted the post, but not before screenshots of it have been widely shared all over the internet.

The rookie Senator tried to do some damage control by claiming that he either didn't share the post himself, or that he "accidently clicked something" that made the image appear on his page. According to Indiana news source IndyStar, Sandlin apologized made a bunch of excuses about it on his Facebook by writing "Apparently there is an offensive post on Facebook that's attributed to me about women in Washington marching. Not sure how that ended up on my Facebook wall but that certainly does not reflect my opinion of women. People who know me will know that's not my view."

People (but mostly women) are taking action against the Senator by encouraging people to call his office with complaints and, of course, thoroughly dragging him on Twitter.

As of Monday morning, Sandlin deleted the explanation and protected his tweets. In an interview with IndyStar, Jack Sandlin spoke about the fat-phobic meme. "I don't believe that I put it there. There's always an outside chance that I could have hit something. I know others that have had stuff show up on their Facebook wall as well." He claims he was traveling most of the day Sunday after attending Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington D.C.

Science may be under attack by the federal government, but that doesn't mean it can't still be cool. Take this short video posted to Reddit on Monday morning. By taking advantage of the unique properties of whiteboard marker, varnish, and water, the sorcerer in this clip is able to breathe life into an inanimate stick figure. It's pretty crazy.

Did that just blow your mind? If not, you might need a refill on your childlike sense of wonder. But if it did, this would be a good time to contact your member of Congress and tell them to support climate change initiatives.

There's just one problem with this caption about a 'woman posing with two senators' at the inauguration.

A photo of three esteemed United States senators made the rounds on social media when the captions failed to recognize them all as such.

In a dumb display of ignorance, with a dollop of sexism, Getty Images brushes off Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar as just "a woman."

"A woman"? This is fake news and/or alternative facts—whatever Trumpian nonsense phrase you hate the least.

It turns out that one could be a senator AND a woman!

Come on, Getty. It's your job to properly label things. Even if you only know US Senators who have run for president, use context clues! "A woman" wouldn't just be seated with senators at the inauguration! This is "a woman" of great importance!

This is not unlike Good Morning America's sexism on January 20th. The day an admitted sexual predator was inaugurated as President was huge for sexist coverage, as former senator, Secretary of State, and Popular Vote Winner Hillary Clinton was referred to simply as "wife." Character limits are not a good enough excuse for this flippant treatment.

The image distribution service has since promoted Senator Klobuchar from "a woman" to her rightful name and title, though they have yet to correct the fact that Bernie isn't a Democrat but an Independent.

To say I love being at work on a Monday is the perfect example of an alternative fact.

Watch a plane full of passengers cheer when a woman is kicked off for berating a Trump supporter.

A plane full of people cheered this Saturday after a woman was kicked off a plane for yelling at a Trump supporter.

"You put that man's finger on the button!"

Posted by Scott Koteskey on Saturday, January 21, 2017

According to Trump supporter, Scott Koteskey, trouble began the second he found his seat with the woman an her husband already sitting there. As Koteskey​ remembers, before he was allowed into his window seat, the woman asked, "Did you come here to cheer or to protest?"

Koteskey told her he "came to celebrate democracy."

That's when the woman lost her mind.

Me: Well we're all entitled to our opinions here ma'am.

Woman: And I'm entitled to get drunk and puke in your lap! I'm going to throw up right in your lap! You make me sick! Don't talk to me! Don't look at me! Don't you dare even put your arm on that rest. You disgust me! You should be ashamed of yourself! You put a maniac's finger on the button (assuming she's means nukes). You are a bigot. You should get off this plane!

Me: ma'am, by definition, bigotry is disparaging someone prior to knowing them simply by their beliefs and opinions. Thank you for being the very thing you preach against.

The insults and harassment continued until it got the attention of the flight staff. The woman tells them that she wants Koteskey to move seats because he is "in my space," but they inform her that it is she who will be leaving the plane.

Despite vying for sympathy due to her mother-in-law's death, and her husbands offer of them switching seats and "quieting down," it was too late. The captain already made the call, and police were being brought in to escort the woman and her embarrassed, grieving husband off the plane.

The plane erupted with cheers as the woman and her husband were kicked off.

"USA! USA!"

Here's the video (sorry for the low quality) of the lady being ejected off the plane. Pretty inaudible, but you can see her sneers and make snide remarks as she's escorted by police.

Posted by Scott Koteskey on Saturday, January 21, 2017

This was not a good look for liberals.

Some commenters on the video believed that aggressive liberals like this should be "put down"

Liberals commenters claimed this woman isn't a liberal, just a "wack job"

Ultimately, everyone on that flight from Baltimore to Wacoma was in agreement: they all just wanted a quiet flight home.

17 of the most shocking teacher meltdowns students ever witnessed.

There's a reason everybody gives teachers an exceedingly high amount of credit. Yes, they are gifted and talented people who impart their knowledge to us, and our children, and shape the minds of generations. Plus, the pay's not good and kids are jerks.

But for all their superhuman qualities, teachers are actually human, and sometimes they break down in the middle of class. Students recently took to Reddit to share the most shocking teacher meltdowns they've ever witnessed in the classroom.

1. Teaching the seventh grade, as the subject of this story fromtrogdorthemandid, it's miraculous they didn't do this every day.

Oh boy. 7th Grade. There was a real trouble maker in my school, he just showed up that year from a much different area, a much bigger school with a very different atmosphere from my school. My school was very small and everyone, for the most part, had respect for the teachers. Perhaps the respect came from it being such a small school and not being able to blend in...i'm not sure. Anyways, this guy was a real troublemaker and liked getting all the "good kids" involved in his shenanigans. He was always interrupting and ignoring the teachers and generally just trying to stir up as much conflict as possible. Now since every moment of class was full of his nonsense I can't recall exactly what set of this particular teacher on this day...but whatever it was...She completely lost it, started just spewing out swear words, ripped her glasses off her face, threw them to the ground, they broke in two. She then flew out of the room and punched a locker and stormed to the office.

2. A-B-C, MaoMeowed. Always Be Conjugating.

Grade 9 French teacher started screaming at us for not conjugating a list a words for homework (which she didn't even assign to us). She started yelling about how it was "the worst disgrace of her life" and how badly we had "embarrassed her".

By not doing the homework she didn't assign

3. And the man of whomintrospeckspeaks eventually became the runner-up for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president.

In my 8th grade history class (around 1970) the teacher passed around a book about the evils of communism. I'm in the US, and I suspect the book was mandated by the school board during the height of the cold war.

The teacher asked us to skim the book and went back to his desk. After 15 minutes he got up and asked for our opinions. Several kids offered predictable answers. He looked like he was waiting for something, but he didn't get it. "Anyone else?"

Suddenly, he slammed his copy of the book down on a student's desk and practically shouted, "This is BULLSHIT!!! Propaganda!! Are you just going to swallow it without questions? I don't care if you are for or against communism, I want you to look at it critically and tell me what you really think!" That made a few students bold enough to share real opinions. The rest were still stunned that a teacher said "bullshit."

The next year the school fired him, supposedly because his teaching credentials weren't in order. Never mind that he'd been teaching for 18 years.

4. OdinTheTurtlesaw a teacher slap a kid, or rather tunde, in Latin.

I don't know if it really counts, but our former latin teacher once slapped a kid across the face because the kid made fun of her dead husband. She got suspended shortly afterwards. Edit: The teacher got suspended, not the student.

5. At least this teacher of chicken_on_stiltshad the kid get out of the desk first.

7th grade history. Teachers first name was {I shit you not} Kermit. Student was chewing gum, putting on makeup, chatting, and reading a magazine during a lecture. Kermit calmly walks over to her desk and orders her to get out of her seat. He then lofts the desk-chair thing above his head and hurls it over three rows of students to the cinder block wall where it smashes to pieces and falls in a pile on the floor at the back of the room. Then commands the student to go sit back down at her desk. She goes and sits on the pile of steel frame and plywood, and Kermit continues on with the lecture. I've never seen such a red, angry, bearded rage face in my life.

6. Turn that frown upside-down,laterdude. Now.

After our class picture, our first year teacher declared "New rule: every day is now class picture day. I want to see smiles from each and every one of you every single day!"

The class let out a collective groan and the teacher said "C'mon, turn those frowns upside down!"

She kept at us for a good month on the smile policy. Keep in mind, this was during the '90s. The class was divided evenly amongst Goths, Grunge and Gangstas. The only thing we agreed upon were that smiles were for pussies.

The meltdown came the day she brought in her karoake machine and attempted to sing Tim McGraw's Just to See You Smile. We just sat there stone-faced as usual then she tried to ham it up just to get us to laugh. But nothing. We were all too tough to show any humour or heart.

And then she broke down and started blubbering. "I just wanted a smile . . . is that too much to ask?"

Apparently it was because none of us even had the goddamn common courtesy to offer her a tissue. Next day, she went resting bitch face on our asses and word on the street is she hasn't cracked a smile in twenty years.

7. A teacher of Fuzzymentalist was a real glasshole.

We had an art teacher who had one glass eye. A student who had a rep for being an asshole (from a whole family of assholes - his sister beat me up in infant school) unwisely decided to stick his head around the door to the art room and yell, in a voice that could shatter glass 'Oi! Harris you one eye jack!' This did no go down at all well with Mr Harris, who terrified most kids. Cue manic Welsh art teacher chasing student over the playing fields with a tent spike. The whole class was looking out the window following the chase - all it needed was Yakety Sax playing as a soundtrack!

8.OwnerOfABouncyBalldid Nazi this one coming.

I went to school in Germany and once when we had our history class, the lesson started off really weird. The teacher started dictating to us a math problem, in which you had to calculate what the costs are for treating disabled people and how much the state could save if there weren't any disabled people. Most of us immediately realized, that this was one of the propaganda math problems, students in the third reich had to solve. We were kind of confused, since the third reich was not the topic which we were discussing at this moment. Nevertheless, we wrote down the problem and even started calculating, when the teacher suddenly snapped. He began to scream at the whole class with an intensity I have not witnessed before, about how we as the students should have rejected, solving a task like that one. How we were educated to question everything, but still obeyed when he gave us a task which discriminated against disabled people. He was s furious that he left the classroom and only returned after half an hour. We spend the rest of the class, talking about the dangers, that a new movement like the nazis could arise again in Germany and how we always need to be aware of that..

9. Usermountain_dew_cheetoswitnessed an emergency: a civics emergency.

I had an American history class with a professor who looked just like a penguin. Anyways, he started to talk about the 1700's and going into more detail about the US constitution. With each passing minute, he got more and more excited, which meant he got more sweaty and tired. It didn't help that he was quickly walking back and forth. Then all the sudden he just stops and doesn't say anything for a few moments. Then he said "Everyone can leave, I need to think about the US constitution now" and we just left and nobody seemed surprised or even talked about it. We were maybe 20 minutes into the class.

10. Blah, blah, blah,aristoclea.

A university professor actually.

She would teach and constantly complain about three girls who sat near the back for talking/ being on their phone. One day she made a big scene, took down their names and left dramatically. This was a huge lecture hall of 100+ students, I heard them laughing once, but never anything else. I found her fixation on these three intolerable.

During the exam, the rooms were organized, what seemed to me as horribly by last names. Not alphabetical, random last letters in different groups. She had seated the three in the same room and loudly spoke during the exam for a few minutes to distract them. Except there was 40+ people in the room.

I'm still bitter because it really distracted me.

11. Some things turn men into monsters,dxm65535. War. The quest for power. Trivia.

In high school, they would do trivia questions after the announcements sometimes, and the first teacher who dialed the office with the correct answer would get a prize for the class. My math teacher really wanted to win, and hadn't yet this year.

So one fateful morning, the question goes out, and we had the answer, so he called it in, but we were the second caller.

In a fit of pseudo-rage, he yells "DAMNIT!" and kicks this little plastic trash can across the room, where it bonks a kid right in the head. His eyes go wide and he apologizes and asks if the kid is okay, which he is. Everyone got a good laugh afterwards, including the kid who got hit, and later, we would pretend to duck whenever we didn't win the morning trivia contests.

12. It's howgillyyak's teacher communicated with other teachers across town.

In engineering school, one of the profs was teaching a stats class. In his class was a woman of cluelessness massive. She'd ask questions even if the answer had just been discussed.

He handled it well at first, then became more and more frustrated.

One afternoon, she asked yet another dumb-ass question (yes, there are stupid questions). He stood and looked at her for a good 15 seconds, then walked to the window, opened it up, stuck his head out, and screamed wordlessly.

It was epic, and the whole class was in various states of laughter and shock.

13. Not even a tuba could protect the classmate of rangemaster.

I was in band. One day, one of the regular always in trouble/disruptive students was being extra disruptive while the director was trying to tell us something important. So after about five different times of going the normal route to get him to settle down, he cracked.

It got quiet and then the director bellowed "[Student's Name]! ARE YOU STUPID, OR JUST DON'T GIVE A SHIT?!, the whole room was quiet, all eyes were now on the disruptive kid who was then trying to hide behind his tuba, then, the director continued with his announcement like nothing happened.

14. Artists suffer,DinosaurBabygrow

We had an art teacher in year 7 (11 years old) who would lock himself in the supply cupboards and scream and rip his hair out. It was unsettling..

15. If you're looking for stories about teachers going aggro, this one fromPippaPig is a lock.

We had business studies class in a room where the door could be locked from the inside. Our teacher had to come from the other end of the school, so most lesssons we were all there before he was. Every lesson without fail someone would lock the door, then everyone avoided looking at him banging on the door to be let in (It was similar to when the velociraptor looks through the door in Jurassic Park).

Usually he would give up, then go a find another teacher, and someone would unlock the door then everyone would deny the door was ever locked.

Near the end of term, instead of his usual banging and calling peoples names, he got a fire extinguisher off the wall and started battering the door down. Everyone was then too scared to let him in.

When we came back after break we found the door had been totally removed.

16. ImaDinosaurR0AR saw Teacher Hulk SMASH.

A Spanish teacher I had in High School ended up having a meltdown on the day of the final exam. The whole semester my class had been pretty chatty but really nothing that out of the ordinary.

On the day of the final there was an event that set her off. If I remember correctly he was talking during the exam (his cell phone may have gone off instead, its been awhile). She proceeded to attempt to pick up the desk with a 17 year old sitting in it and slam it on the ground.

The kid got up and then she flung the desk along the floor slamming it against the door and told him to finish his exam outside. Then she proceeded to tell the rest of us what terrible people and students we were.

17. Teachers are true to their word, especially this one that taughtpyronius.

First math teacher I had at my new school was immediately famous for being a nervous wreck. She'd been hired a few months beforehand and was already twitchy and on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Spring break came and we had a week off. That friday during my class she just gave up. Stopped teaching, sat down, and nearly in tears declared "I'm going to my sister's house! I am goibg to sit by the pool and I am going to drink margaritas and forget about this place!"

She never came back. A week later class started back up and another teacher noticed a line of students outside her room. She had just never shown up. Didn't tell anybody. Just gave up and took a permanent vacation.

5. Sean Spicer, because he got trolled hard on his first day as press secretary.

Sean Spicer trying to blow down a little piggy's house.

Being the White House press secretary has always been a thankless job. But on his first day, President Trump's new hire Sean Spicer made the next four years much more difficult for himself by straight-up lying about something that isn't even important: how many people showed up for the inauguration on Friday.

His brief statements focused entirely on how the media has covered the inauguration, ignoring any other possible questions the press might have about the incoming administration's policies or its countless scandals. Furthermore, he definitively made two incorrect assertions that are very easy to debunk: that this was the first time floor coverings had been used on the Washington Mall, and that the inauguration was the best-attended in US history.

Twitter immediately got on Spicer's ass, trolling him with the hashtag #SpicerFacts, which immediately went viral.

Then on Sunday, Trump adviser and honorary redcoat Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer on Meet the Press, rebranding his lies as "alternative facts." Of course, that immediately became a hashtag too.

Considering how much President Trump loves Twitter, his staff should really get savvier about preventing themselves from being hashtagged. Or else the next four years are going to be hell for them (and not just for the rest of us).


4. Madonna, because she's still trying to backpedal on that whole "blow up the White House" comment.

She's seamlessly transitioned from sex symbol to violent anarchist.

On Saturday, an estimated 500,000 protestors descended on Washington to take part in the Women's March. And in a truly amazing feat, there were zero arrests, making it one of the most successful nonviolent demonstrations in history. But the White House still felt threatened by one protestor: Madonna. The venerable pop star was the final speaker at the event, and although her speech was generally positive, she made one ill-advised comment that will haunt her for a long time.

Although she said she WASN'T going to blow up the White House, it's still an alarming idea to mention. Kellyanne Conway said the comments were "destructive," and for once she was technically correct. The Secret Service even said it would investigate Madonna for the comments, because it is obligated to look into any comment made that even implies violence against the president.

Madonna quickly backed down, apologizing and releasing a statement on Instagram to explain exactly what she meant.

Madonna inspired a lot of women last year when she said, "The most controversial thing I've done is stick around." But this might be even more controversial than that. I mean, she said she wanted to blow up the White House.


3. Stacey Dash, because Fox News fired her.

Her dreams were Dashed.

Stacey Dash is most famous for her supporting role in Clueless and for being completely insane. In the last year, she's gone viral a number of times after making controversial statements like "There shouldn't be a Black History Month," "BET lies to American black people," and trans people should pee "in the bushes." Real high-octane crazy.

That penchant for creating headlines made Dash perfect for her job as a Fox News contributor, but in the wake of that network's own high-profile scandals, it seems like she's finally become too hot to handle. After not putting her on the air since September, Fox has finally confirmed that Dash's contract was not renewed.

It looks like from now on, she'll have to stick to making psycho comments on Twitter. Unfortunately, that's also where people are gathering to make fun of her.

Maybe she could be Sean Spicer's fact-checker.


2. A truck driver who lost his marbles… literally!

It seems like everyone in Washington DC is losing their marbles these days. But one truck driver REALLY lost his marbles when his trailer disconnected on I-465 in Indianapolis on Saturday, scattering his cargo all over the roadway. And considering that he was hauling 38,000 lbs of marbles, you could certainly say he lost them… literally!

It looks like this driver lost 38,000 lbs of his marbles… literally.

I'm sorry to keep repeating that incredibly obvious "lost his marbles" joke, but come on. How often does a pun that perfect fall into your lap? As a writer, I spend a lot of time trying to think of lame puns to accompany stories, and it can be extremely frustrating. It's enough to make me lose my marbles… figuratively!


1. A driver who was caught skipping out on $56,000 worth of tolls.

The scenic George Washington Bridge is famous for connecting New York City and New Jersey, and for destroying Chris Christie's career.

Commuting is a huge pain in the ass, there's no denying that. But one thrifty man won't have to worry about it anymore, because his car was impounded after he was caught dodging hundreds and hundreds of tolls. Smart move!

31-year-old Alesandel Rodriguez was arrested on Saturday morning after police spotted his 2014 Toyota Camry blowing through an EZPass lane without paying on New York City's George Washington Bridge. His car had no front or rear license plates, but did have a New York state tag in the back windshield—one that expired in December.

If this seems suspicious to you, you should become a detective. Cops discovered that Rodriguez had an outstanding warrant in Teaneck, NJ, and also learned this wasn't his first time skipping out on a toll. Tracing his vehicle, they connected it to 888 separate EZPass violations in the last five years. In total, he owed Uncle Sam $56,240 in tolls and fees.

Rodriguez was charged with theft of services. Police impounded his hot wheels, turned him over to Teaneck PD, and issued him several traffic summonses. It seems like a light sentence, considering he got away with this scheme for five years. This sends a dangerous message to would-be toll skippers. In all honestly, I'm thinking about hopping the turnstyle on my next subway trip into work. All these fares are making me lose my marbles!


Breastfeeding model slams hater who told her to 'cover up' at the Women's March.

Plus-size model Tess Holliday is definitely no stranger to having her body commented on by strangers on the internet, but just because she's used to it doesn't mean she's a fan of it. And when it involves her baby, she puts her foot down, hard.

Holliday posted an Instagram picture of herself breastfeeding her baby Saturday at the Women's March in L.A. and surprise, surprise, a lot of people made rude comments on it.

The caption to the photo originally read,

Breastfeed anywhere ✊🏻 Thank you to my friend @jessicalouiseimagery for capturing this moment during today's @womensmarchla💕#normalizebreastfeeding#womensmarchla

A Woman's March seems like a perfectly appropriate place to breastfeed (not that there are necessarily inappropriate places!), but because the internet is full of trolls, Holliday's Instagram post soon received comments from strangers, such as,

After receiving the rude comments on Instagram, Holliday updated the caption, adding,

Edited to add: Those saying that I should "cover up"
You mean when I'm breastfeeding MY baby who was a) hungry & b) screaming because he was overly tired & the crowd overloaded his senses & it was the only way to comfort him?! I will feed my child anywhere I want. Also CA state law protects me to do so. Keep your uneducated opinions off my body.

But it's not all bad, because the kind and supportive comments outweighed the mean ones by about 100 to 1.

Being cute is rly serious business ✌🏻

Did the Department of Defense just shade Donald Trump on Twitter?

While the Department of Defense—the people who run wars—are not often associated with subtlety, the social media person behind the military-industrial complex is GREAT and subtle shade.

Monday morning, the first official workday of the Trump administration, the DoD tweeted out an article that sure looks like a slick sniper hit at one of President Trump's many bad attributes.

Trump's tweeting erratic Twitter habits, which is invented syntax and penchant for attacking private citizens, is a hit among his supports and armchair psychiatrist.

Scrolling through @realDonaldTrump's feed feels as if it provides real-time insights into the fragile psyche of a deranged narcissist, and that might be just be what it is.Did the Department of Defense just shade Donald Trump on Twitter?

The tweet, however, links to an article about suicide prevention. Veterans' mental health is a huge, important issue that the DoD might be referring to, but with Trumpmania on everyone's minds, it's easy (and more fun!) to see it as shade.

Rescuers responding to the avalanche in Italy find hope in the form of puppies.

Tragedy struck last week when an avalanche hit the Hotel Rigopiano in Farindola, Italy, but on Monday rescuers found a little spark of hope in the form of puppies.

According to The Guardian, rescuers found three fluffy little Abruzzo sheepdog puppies safe in the rubble of the hotel, meaning that there are still air pockets in the collapsed building. Firefighter Fabio Jerman said the discovery of the pups is "an important sign of life, which gives us hope."

As of Monday, 23 people still remain missing in the aftermath of the avalanche, but thanks to these squirmy little fluff-babies, rescuers have new hope that the missing people could be found alive and well.

This just confirms what I've known to be true for years: puppies make everyone feel better about everything, even if it's really terrible.

Shia LaBeouf got confrontational with a white supremacist who crashed his anti-Trump protest.

Shia LaBeouf's four-year-long anti-Trump protest already is off to a rocky start just three days into the interactive installation. LaBeouf and his collaborators set up a camera outside of the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York, where civilians could repeat the words "he will not divide us" for as long as they would like. Footage will stream non-stop 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the next four years or until whenever Trump gets impeached.

However, it didn't take long for a neo-Nazi to try to monopolize the live stream with his own racist message. The alt-right member, wearing a grey hat and glasses, marches up to the camera and says "We must secure the existence of white people!" Before he could get more of his message across, LaBeouf stepped in.

Shia LaBeouf never strayed from his script as he screamed "he will not divide us" into the alt-right member's face along with the crowd. Eventually the white supremacist and the actor went chest-to-chest before a (very chill) security guard stepped in to break them up. Both men then disappear off camera, and the crowd watched them move to the back of the lot where the racist appears to have fled.

It's going to be a long four years. We can't help but feel that that won't be the weirdest thing that shows up on that live stream between now and 2020.

I love you as much as I love seeing Nazis get punched in the face.
