Here's how Mary Tyler Moore made an impact on Michelle Obama as a little girl.

Legendary actress Mary Tyler Moore sadly passed away on Wednesday. Since then, tributes have poured in from fans and fellow celebrities, reminiscing about how Moore had inspired them. The list of people (especially women) Moore inspired is long, and as it turns out, includes former First Lady Michelle Obama.

In an interview with Varietylast summer, Michelle Obama talked about how The Mary Tyler Moore Show had inspired her when she was growing up in the '70s. Obama recalled watching Moore's show on Saturday nights while eating dessert with her family, and how it shaped her ideas of what it meant to be a woman in society.

“She was one of the few single working women depicted on television at the time,” Obama told Variety. “She wasn’t married. She wasn’t looking to get married. At no point did the series end in a happy ending with her finding a husband — which seemed to be the course you had to take as a woman. But she sort of bucked that. She worked in a newsroom, she had a tough boss, and she stood up to him. She had close friends, never bemoaning the fact that she was a single. She was very proud and comfortable in that role."

Michelle Obama recalled how important watching Mary Tyler Moore's portrayal of a confident, independent, single woman was for her. She told Variety:

I was probably 10 or 11 when I saw that, and sort of started thinking, ‘You know what? Marriage is an option. Having a family is an option. And going to school and getting your education and building your career is another really viable option that can lead to happiness and fulfillment.

I personally have been inspired by both Mary Tyler Moore AND Michelle Obama. Thanks for being awesome, ladies. May the great Mary Tyler Moore rest in peace.

Happy Throwback Thursday to someone who looks just as amazing now as they did last Thursday.

Liberal waitress gets generous tip and heartwarming message from Trump supporters.

0
0

In the wake of Donald Trump's election, there has been a spike in incidents of racist and xenophobic harassment across the country. Racial and anti-Semitic graffiti has especially been prevalent, much of which is drawn from the rhetoric and proposals of the president himself. At a time when our country seems irreversibly fractured, reaching out to show kindness and generosity to someone who does not agree with you politically is not only refreshing but especially valuable.

Rosalind Harris, a 25-year-old waitress at Busboys and Poets, a local Washington, D.C., restaurant with a social justice mission, served three white men in cowboy hats on the morning January 23rd. The friends, wearing "Make America Great Again" merchandise, were in town from West Texas for Donald Trump's inauguration. Harris is a black woman who identifies as liberal and opposes Donald Trump. In fact, she partook in the Women's March in the nation's capitol the previous Saturday. Despite their obvious differences, The Daily Wire reports that the men and Harris remained warm and cordial, were chatty and had a good time.

The men had already left the restaurant by the time that Harris came to pick up the check. That is when she discovered that she was given a $450 tip on the $72.60 bill, making that a 625% tip. They also left her a touching note.

We may come from different cultures and may disagree on certain issues, but if everyone would share their smile and kindness like your beautiful smile, our country will come together as one people. Not race. Not gender. Just American.

According to The Washington Post, the tip was left by Jason White, a dentist from Texas, who chose $450 as the amount as a symbol because Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States. He told the Post, "We have to think about being better Americans, we have to look into ourselves and how we treat one another. If everyone did a little something to show respect…we can love one another."

Harris was obviously shocked and moved by the generous tip, admitting that she prejudged the men as soon as they stepped into the ultra liberal restaurant with their "MAGA" gear on.

"You automatically assume if someone supports Trump that they have ideas about you,” she told the Post, “but [the customer was] more embracing than even some of my more liberal friends, and there was a real authenticity in our exchange."

She also said that timing was impeccable, since she is planning on moving and wasn't sure that she could afford the upfront costs. Harris added, "This definitely reshaped my perspective. Republican, Democrat, liberal are all subcategories to what we are experiencing. It instills a lot of hope."

Someone trolled Tomi Lahren by making a fake website for her that she would absolutely hate.

Angry, young conservative pundit Tomi Lahren hates whiny, liberal snowflakes, Planned Parenthood and gun control, and thinks that climate change is fake. So what better way to troll her and accomplish something good at the same time than to make a website with her name on it where you can donate to causes that help the very things she stands against.

On Monday, a man named Sam Hopkins posted on Facebook saying that he'd done just that, with a link to that website: tomilahren.org.

The past 3 months in American politics have been tumultuous to say the least, and through it all the incomparable Tomi...

Posted by Sam Hopkins on Monday, January 23, 2017

In his post, he wrote, "To my knowledge, she does not have her own website, but I think we can all agree a woman of her stature and mind deserves an equally impressive website. So, I made one for her. Feel free to share and give feedback!"

That actually sounds like an enthusiastic Tomi Lahren fan, right? Which is why it's even funnier when you click on the link to the website, where you'll see a simple, single page site, with a background made up of one of Lahren's old tweets tiled repeatedly. Along with this simple design, Hopkins, a 23-year-old software development engineer Hopkins included some links to donate to places that Tomi Lahren most definitely does not support, namely: Planned Parenthood, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, American Civil Liberties Union, and the Environmental Defense Fund.

Lahren, who hosts her own show called Tomi on the conservative news site founded by Glenn Beck called TheBlaze, would absolutely hate this website. But clearly, other people love it.

Speaking to the Huffington Post, Hopkins said,

I spent a good amount of time on Sunday looking up political themed domain names to buy and stumbled across TomiLahren.org. I originally wanted to buy alternativefacts.news and turn it into a satirical site.

Unfortunately alternativefacts.news wasn't available, so for $18 Hopkins bought TomiLahren.org instead. According to the Huffington Post, the site has received over 191,000 in just the few days since it was created.

So please, go to it, and while you're there, take a moment to donate, if you can!

Former Mexican president: 'Mexico will never pay for that f**king wall.'

0
0

On Wednesday night, in his first interview from the White House, Donald Trump told David Muir of ABC, in no uncertain terms, that Mexico would pay for the wall the president plans to build between them and the U.S. However, Vicente Fox, Mexico's former president and President Donald Trump's current troll, said Wednesday on TV​that "Mexico will never pay for that fucking wall," adding that the wall is "stupid" and a "waste[of] taxpayers' money."

Fox has said before that Mexico would not pay for Trump's wall, tweeting on January 6, "Trump may ask whoever he wants, but still neither myself nor Mexico are going to pay for his racist monument. Another promise he can't keep."

In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Fox said,

I have said, and I have told Donald, that Mexico will never pay for that fucking wall, and now I have to repeat it to this guy Sean Spicer, which is going exactly the same line. He again repeated this morning that Mexico's going to pay, they better understand that we are not paying for that wall. That U.S. taxpayers will pay for that wall, and it is a wall that is a waste, it serves no purpose on the objectives [inaudible] for that.

When asked by Cooper, "Why isn't a wall acceptable?" Fox answered,

It's stupid, it doesn't work. There is already a wall. It's at least covering 70 percent of the border line, a wall, big wall. The remaining 30 percent is desert, is places that there's no people there. Why is he going to waste taxpayers' money in this stupid wall? It's just a waste of money.

Well, that's a pretty clear answer.

On Thursday, Enrique Peña Nieto, the current president of Mexico, canceled a meeting with Trump in Washington, according to The Hill. Trump, however, apparently said that the two men "agreed" to skip the planned get together.

Trump told a group of Republicans at the GOP's annual retreat in Philadelphia, “Unless Mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless. And I want to go a different route. We have no choice.”

#CuteAnimalTweetOff is the hashtag America needs right now.

Zoos across America are healing the nation with a friendly battle of the cutest.

It all started when the National Zoo welcomed a new seal into the family.

Sarah Hill, a radio host in Norfolk, Virgina, tweeted at her state's acquarium to see if they could raise the stakes.

The Virginia Aquarium met the challenge...

...and it was ON.

Soon Atlanta's zoo jumped in on the challenge, and the #CuteAnimalTweetOff was official.

The Cincinnati Zoo almost got us to forgive them from killing Harambe with this cuddly cheetah cub.

Queens got in on the action with a baby Bambi.

Maryland's got lemurs.

The Bronx is on the prowl.

Monterey knows you need a hug.

The Bronx, too.

Toronto didn't want to be left out.

Buffalo's Nico will melt your heart.

Kansas City's aint monkeying around.

This seals the deal.

SeaWorld speaks whale.

The American History Museum didn't want to miss out on the action, so threw down some historic cuteness.

Police forces wanted in as well.

LOOK HOW TINY HIPPOS CAN BE.

This turtle gets turtle-y enough for the turtle club.

Columbus shows us that if this puppy and cheetah can be friends, maybe the nation can be healed.

And now back to freaking out.

JK Rowling just revealed how wizards poop, in case you were curious.

0

JK Rowling really thought out every single tiny detail while lovingly crafting the "Harry Potter universe." She hashed out the complexities of their mailing system, detailed the course catalog at Hogwarts, and even got us all to understand how Horcruxes work. She also evidently put thought into how wizards poop, and although this delightful bit of trivia never made it into one of the Harry Potter books, it was mentioned on Pottermore, an interactive website for Potter fans from JK Rowling. BuzzFeed uncovered the nugget of knowledge, and now you will never think of Dumbledore the same way again.

Hogwarts’ plumbing became more elaborate in the eighteenth century (this was a rare instance of wizards copying Muggles, because hitherto they simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence)...

Where did they do this before the adoption of modern plumbing?

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

You can't just casually mention that wizards just used to crap their pants rather than using a toilet. What do you mean they "simply relieved themselves where they stood"? So if two wizards were mid-conversation, it would completely normal to see a urine stain growing on one of their pants until it was zapped away? Would no one think twice if a wizard dropped a load out of their cloak before simply saying "Evanesco" to make it go away? And what about the smells? This new information certainly raises a lot of questions.

Where would Moaning Myrtle have hung out?

However, we have to admit, going to the bathroom the "wizard way" definitely would come in handy when you can't find a restroom. Accio, toilet paper!


Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard reveal their celebrity crushes who aren't each other.

0

Everyone's favorite celebrity couple, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, appeared on Thursday's episode of Ellen, where they talked about the plunging neckline on the gown Bell wore to the Golden Globes, as well as how Shepard thinks Bell's boobs became like "white noise" to him once she started breastfeeding,

They also touched on the subject of running into their celebrity crushes at the Golden Globes (not each other, because while they are indeed both celebrities, they are already married). It turns out Shepard has a crush on Brad Pitt, while Bell's crush is the same as mine—Riz Ahmed (Four Lions, The Night Of, Star Wars, Rogue One). Bell went on to explain that she has a fetish of sorts for Indian men, so I guess no one explained to her that Ahmed is actually Pakistani.

Bell and Shepard told a cute story about how Shepard, thinking Bell would be too shy to introduce herself to Ahmed at the Golden Globes, acted as her wingman by approaching Ahmed and saying, "Hey, my wife has a crush on you." However, he needn't have bothered, given that the first words out of Bell's mouth to Ahmed were, "I find you very attractive," which is really a lovely if slightly awkward way of introducing yourself to just about anyone.

Couple enlists dog to help them make the cutest pregnancy announcement ever.

Oh, you guys. I cannot deal with how cute this is. Twitter user @kaitlynserna's cousin decided to enlist her dog Kasper to help her make a very important announcement.

She took a photo of Kasper wearing some killer pastel glasses, "reading" a book called How To Be A Big Brother (which has an ultrasound on the cover.)

Attention everyone who is ever going to get pregnant: THIS IS HOW YOU DO A PREGNANCY ANNOUNCEMENT.

Look at this dog's precious face! The glasses! The book! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT.

Dogs can't read and that's why this is adorable.

Truly one of the best pregnancy announcements in history. Kasper is going to make an excellent big brother. Did I mention how much I love his glasses?

Jerry Seinfeld makes Black Lives Matter pun on Twitter, Twitter shakes its damn head.

0
0

Jerry Seinfeld, really rich comedian and creator of Bee Movie, made a controversial pun—to the extent a pun can be controversial, this is basically as contentious as it gets—while promoting a new episode of his web series.

"New! Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee," wrote Seinfeld. The episode features the hilarious Lewis Black, so then Seinfeld said "Black's life matters," punning on the Black Lives Matter movement.

To finish off the tweet, he wrote "@Acura!" The show is sponsored by Acura.

The response to the tone-deaf joke was predictable, with the initial responses on Seinfeld's own tweet overwhelmingly negative.

Seinfeld has a passionate history with the idea of being politically correct, notoriously lashing out during a 2014 BuzzFeed interview in which he was asked about the lack of diversity on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

"People think [comedy] is the census or something, it's gotta represent the actual pie chart of America. Who cares?"

"You're funny, I'm interested. You're not funny, I'm not interested," said Seinfeld, dismissing the fact that most of the guests on his show had been white men up to that point.

It'll be interesting to see if Seinfeld addresses the response to his tweet, and, if he does, if he doubles down on his earlier stance on PC culture or not.

A man who just got a bionic penis will have to 'test' it with a two-week-long boner.

0

40-year-old UK man Adam Wardle has just become one of the first people in the world to receive a bionic penis. Born with a rare condition called bladder exstrophy, his bladder formed outside his body. Although his testicles were normal, he had no penis, and he spent much of his childhood undergoing operations to restore normal function to his urinary system.

Adam Wardle and girlfriend Fedra Fabian.

Then finally in 2015, he got good news from doctors—they could construct him an entirely new penis from skin on his arm and a bionic system of tubes. It was a procedure that had only been done once before, on another UK man named Mohammed Abad. Wardle's story went viral, especially once he told the press that he had "slept" with over 100 women who had no idea he had no penis (to answer your question: oral).

Now, a year and a half later, the lengthy process of constructing his unit is nearly complete. His penis has been installed, and requires only one more step before it is officially cleared for duty. He and his girlfriend Fedra Fabian stopped by ITV's This Morning to explain.

As it turns out, doctors won't be sure his penis is fully operational until he gets an erection with it—and keeps it for two straight weeks. But don't worry. He won't need hundreds of hours of porn. Wardle's penis literally becomes erect with the push of a button, so he can set it and forget it for that time. Except he'll be walking around with a full erection, so he won't quite be able to forget it. He says he plans to spend those weeks at home. Smart.

Of course, Wardle is excited about having a penis for the first time, but not for the reasons you might think (sex). Having a functional penis will reduce the number of kidney infections and other complications he still faces from his condition. Once that's under control, he and Fabian will start thinking about having sex, and then about starting a family.

Best of luck to these two as they start the next chapter of their lives (the penis chapter). They also deserve a lot of credit for going public and bringing awareness to this little-known condition.

This woman's date was racist, sexist, and drunk. How she shut him down? So perfect.

There are bad dates, and then there is the date that Katie, a 29-year-old account director in New York City, went on with a guy named Matt last Saturday.

The date resulted in Matt sending this text a few days later ... so you know it can't be good (by which we mean "bad"):

The "misunderstanding" Matt's referring to? Oh, boy. Where to begin? Best to let Katie tell it:

"We met on a dating app and this was actually our second date. The first was fine, not mind-blowing, but fine. This time, he wanted to meet me on Saturday at 8:00 and texted me in advance that day to let me know he was going to already be on the Upper West Side with a friend at a bar (I thought maybe they were watching a game or something). He said the place we were going had live music and we'd get something to eat and have drinks. Around 7:15 he texted me that he was "having a winning streak with bar games" and to meet him at 8:30 instead. I was confused. I met him at 8:30, he was slurring, eyes glazed over and told me he was winning a BEER PONG TOURNEY down the street. I asked him how drunk he was on a scale of 1-10 and he said 4. Which was a giant lie."

Okay. But the date could still be salvaged, right?

Wrong.

http://i.giphy.com/3oEjI9T0ixjZCFwi8U.gif


"After about an hour, I said we should get some food to which he replied 'Oh I ate already. Got hungry playing beer pong and ordered a burger and fries. But we can get an app to split?'"

http://i.giphy.com/sUzZwE9AgI8iA.gif

"So I said hell no, I'm starving. I'm ordering REAL food and you can have some if you want. Then, somehow we landed on the topic of Caitlyn Jenner and he said her sex change was 'all for publicity. Just a publicity stunt.' So I said that's an incredibly offensive statement and why would a respected decorated Olympian be so in need of attention that he risks ruining his family, his relationships and his money to become someone else? It became an argument. He said 'All of the Kardashians only do things for publicity.'"

http://i.giphy.com/l0MYO9VYuq7U0acGQ.gif

Oh, but Matt had more to say on this topic. In fact, it would seem he pays A LOT of attention to the Kardashians.

"Then he goes, 'Like Kris Jenner, she's dating a guy who is black. He's also 20 years younger than her. That's for publicity right there.' Having dated a black man (and having a soul) I stopped eating and was like 'WHAT?! EXPLAIN.' He proceeded to tell me that all of the Kardashians only date black guys for publicity because it's their 'brand' and said, 'Her dating someone that much younger would never work. It's gross. It would only work the other way around.' I attempted to ask why and he said "men mature slower than women, so that age difference should only be "allowed" if it's a man who is older. When I said that, despite not loving the Kardashians, Kris Jenner is a powerful business woman who can date whoever the fuck she likes, black, green, orange, young, or old, he strongly disagreed and said it was all a stunt and that it would NEVER work out. It's just 'not natural.'"

http://i.giphy.com/RBeddeaQ5Xo0E.gif

At this moment, Matt decided to make his move.

"At this point the band came on. I was eating and he spins me around and slowly — like a sloth — puckers up and moves in for a kiss. I pushed away his face and said 'absolutely not' and finished my chicken sandwich. Then 5 minutes later, he tried again."

http://i.giphy.com/KZvT5AWF4ADAI.gif


At this point I went to the bathroom, surveyed the women about how I should leave and asked the kitchen guys in the downstairs if there was a back exit. It was reserved for employees so I had to go back upstairs and tell him I was leaving. I said, 'I'm leaving. I'm offended and now in a really bad mood,' and he goes 'I agree. I'm going to stay and have your drink.'

Then I went to another bar and told another dude about my bad date and I have a date with THAT guy on Friday."

#WINNING. Katie obviously came out on top. But the best part of this whole scenario? Her response to Matt's "misunderstanding" text. It's a masterpiece that will be used a template to shut down douchebags for years to come:

Matt's whimper of a reply?

Good one, dude.

Dr. Pimple Popper drains a giant butt cyst: Part 2!

Earlier today, we brought you Part 1 of Dr. Pimple Popper's struggle to remove a large cyst from a patient's butt—one that had been biopsied by another doctor, but still had to be drained of all its oozing contents. And while that video came in at a hefty 15 minutes, Dr. Lee wasn't even close to finished by the end of it. Now she's uploaded Part 2, an 18-minute followup chronicling how she removed the excess fatty tissue and skin, and set about repairing the enormous hole left by the extraction of this man's mega-cyst.

But because she's such a pro, this guy was ultimately left with a normal, healthy tuchus. Now he'll be able to sit anywhere and everywhere he likes in total comfort. Dr. Lee is a true miracle worker.

If you missed Part 1, check it out here. (You'll want to check it out.)

Twitter reacts to leaked image of this tragic bookshelf in Trump's White House library.

When he's not too busy dismantling democracy, the President of the United States just keeps giving us easy ways to troll him. An insider leaked a photo of a bookshelf in the White House's Old State Department Library to MSNBC's Chris Hayes and it's gone viral on Twitter. You can see why. The mostly-empty bookshelf is basically the perfect, tragic metaphor for our current administration:

"Notice the books," he wrote, ominously. Let's take a closer look:

What's wrong with this picture? A lot.

To start with, there are eight books on this shelf, some of them duplicate copies, so realistically there are five books on this shelf. We haven't seen this much empty space since Trump's inauguration. Also, ICYMI: every single one of these books was written either by or about Donald Trump.

As many have been quick to point out:

This would not be shocking given that Trump seems to hate words (unless they're praising him), facts (which many books contain) and spines (he doesn't have one).

http://i.giphy.com/baKWN0ceSGiL6.gif

Twitter had a lot to say about it—in fact, if you printed out the tweets about this bookshelf, you could probably fill up the bookshelf:

Yes, it is, lol.

And, finally:

Why yes. Yes it is.

Kellyanne Conway alt-apologizes for her inauguration outfit by insulting American women.

Kellyanne Conway has "apologized" to American women for her now-infamous inauguration get-up. And it's the most Regina George effing apology I have ever heard.

http://i.giphy.com/l2YWsrrID8419U19u.gif

ICYMI: At Friday's inauguration, the Queen of Alternative Facts looked like a caricature of herself in a red, white and blue $3,600 Gucci double-breasted A-line coat, which she accessorized with a bright red bucket hat, matching gloves and handbag, People reports.

Maybe it's because there weren't a lot of other people there, but the bizarre ensemble, which she described at the time as “Trump revolutionary wear,” attracted a lot of attention.

Twitter had a field day:

Well, Conway has apparently taken time from her schedule of lying for the President to review the memes, and she has issued an apology. Only it's the kind of apology that isn't really an apology at all—an "alt-apology" if you will.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Conway said she's “sorry to offend the black-stretch-pants women of America [by wearing] a little color."

http://i.giphy.com/l41YxC6p2fOh6HjfG.gif

As a proud black-stretch-pants woman of America myself, I'd like to point out the irony of someone working for a white supremacist, Nazi-bating administration telling American women we are offended by "a little color."

But in defense of Conway's "patriotic" outfit, at least it's a lot less ugly than everything else this woman has said and done since joining Trump's team. I'd even call it beautiful compared to that time she attempted stand-up comedy.

Bury yourself in sand instead of blankets.

Look—everyone lies. Whether you pretend to love your mother-in-law's meatloaf or you say that you don't mind watching countless hours of Grey's Anatomy to appease your significant other, no one is completely innocent when it comes to some light fibbing. However, a few brave viewers decided to expose themselves for the liars they are by taking to Twitter to tell Jimmy Fallon the worst lie they've ever told.

Wow, if these are the worst lies these people have ever told, they are honestly pretty saintly. If I had a dickle for every time I told an innocent white lie like these folks, I would be drowning in fictional currency.

Donald Trump calls 'SNL' a 'disgrace' and Madonna 'disgusting' in Sean Hannity interview.

0

In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday, President Donald Trump called Madonna"disgusting" (after her comments about blowing up the White House at the D.C. Women's March) and SNL a "disgrace" after one of the writers mocked his son, Barron, on Twitter. It's a good thing the man doesn't hold a grudge. Just kidding! You look at how tight, how tremendously tight he holds onto that grudge with his tiny fingers, believe me. He has great grudges, the best grudges!

Speaking to Hannity on his show (the creatively named Hannity) from the White House, the president said of Madonna,

Honestly, she's disgusting. I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause. I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.

http://i.giphy.com/y2YOMl6HZHE9q.gif

And of one of his other enemies, SNL, Trump said,

I don’t mind some humor, but it’s terrible. For them to attack, for NBC to attack my 10-year-old son, it’s a disgrace. He’s a great boy and it’s not an easy thing for him. Believe me.

Although it wasn't technically SNL who joked about Barron Trump, it was an employee of SNL and therefore an employee of NBC, so fair enough. But for the record, I think Donald Trump does mind some humor, and actually all humor.
