On Saturday morning, sisters Serena and Venus Williams faced off in the Australian Open final. It was at this tournament that the two sisters first went up against each other in1998, back when they were both teenagers, and they've come along way since then. While Venus took the win back in '98, Serena was the favorite and winner today, another stop along her career trajectory which has only skyrocketed upwards in the last 19 years.

She didn't know it while playing, but Serena's victory put her back at number one in the world for women's tennis, a title that she lost back in September after nearly three years at the top. It also means that she's now won 23 Grand Slam singles titles, just one shy of the world record set by Margaret Court (look out Margaret, she's comin' for ya), the New York Times reports. When the announcer introduced her as number one in the world as she took the stage to give her victory speech, Serena shrugged shyly, seemingly stunned that her win had brought her back up to the pinnacle.

Then, her speech melted all hearts everywhere, as she touchingly dedicated her incredibly successful career to her sister. "There's no way I would be at 23 without her, there's no way I would be at one without her, there's no way I would have anything without her," Serena said, cradling her trophy. "She's my inspiration, she's the only reason I'm standing here today and the only reason the Williams sisters exist."

It's bound to be incredibly emotional to play your sister time and time again over the course of your career. The competitive spirit that pushed the two of them to become world-class athletes and destroy their opponents, at times, must be turned against each other. And it happens on the world stage. As a viewer, it feels as if we're watching something sacred and intimate play out between these two women; it's a sibling rivalry turned into a dramatic, high-stakes event.

Venus, addressed Serena in her speech as well. "Congratulations Serena on No. 23. I have been there right with you. Some of them I lost right there against you. I guess that’s weird, but it’s been an awesome thing. Your win has always been my win. I think you know that." It must be difficult to watch your little sister grow up to outperform you, but Venus' gracious spirit coupled with Serena's deep appreciation for her bond with her sister allowed for the match to transcend being just a game of tennis. It feels like a true privilege and honor to watch the two of them play, to witness their excellence.

In a week that saw George Orwell's 1984 rocket to the top of the Amazon charts thanks to our "alternative fact"-based presidential administration, the star of the dystopian novel's screen adaptation, Sir John Hurt, died at the age of 77.

Among his many acclaimed roles in a long and storied career were Caligula in I, Claudius, the title part in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, and turns in the more recent Snowpiercer and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy. He also notably portrayed Mr. Ollivander, owner of the wand shop in the Harry Potter series. In remembrance, fans raised their wands to the store at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood.

Hurt was also the first victim of a certain notorious chest-bursting life-form in the sci-fi/horror film Alien, acting the hell out of an instantly iconic scene that he would later reenact for Mel Brooks in the decidedly less serious Spaceballs.

Hurt, who was also an accomplished stage actor and lent his voice to the 1970s animated classics Watership Down and The Lord of the Rings, was working up until the end, filming a movie with Gary Oldman about the early days of World War II. He had been battling pancreatic cancer since 2015.

"I can't say I worry about mortality, but it's impossible to get to my age and not have a little contemplation of it," he said of his illness to the Radio Times. "We're all just passing time, and occupy our chair very briefly."

True, but we would've been glad to see him sit a good while longer.

Here are the facts: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is nice and hot. Which is to say, he's a lot different than the current President of the United States (Donald Trump, if you have by some miracle managed to briefly forget). Trudeau is like that really sweet guy that your mom has always wanted you to end up with, and you feel like maybe when you're ready to settle down you could see him as husband material, even though he's kind of corny. He's the kind of guy who will wait for you while you go through your bad boy phase and make reckless decisions (like living in America), and his latest tweets only further emphasize his heart of gold.

Following the news that President Trump signed an executive order banning Muslim immigrants from seven countries entry into the U.S., as well as Syrian refugees, Trudeau took to Twitter to show us what a real leader looks like.

Kind of makes you want to accept the freezing cold winters, pack up and move north, right? As if that wasn't enough, he went on to post a picture of himself with an immigrant child.

Wow, Trudeau, way to make us jealous of your welcoming country. To be honest, this kind of reminds me of guys who use pictures of themselves holding babies on their online dating profiles because they want to project that they'd make great fathers. It's cheesy, but I'm not mad at it. I would take this over the drunken uncle rage that fuels Trump any day. I've heard Toronto is really nice. Drake is from there! So, here we are again, talking about moving to Canada. You know, I think I'm done with bad boys. I think Canada could make me really happy.

Everyone on Tinder has their strategy. Thirst trap photos, corny pickup lines, and—in many different guises—a sense of honesty too bracing to ignore. There's something appealing about a guy or gal who's totally direct and unapologetic about what sort of thing they're looking for in a dating app match, maybe because the world of romance can be rife with deceit.

Well, give Matt, age 29, some credit for raising the bar where forthrightness is concerned. If he's telling the truth about his, um, situation, then he's for sure the most candid man to ever propose a short-lived fling.

Let's hope society has devised a better way of finding hookup partners by the time he gets out.

Done well, graffiti can be a powerful and subversive form of art. It's usually created anonymously, under cover of darkness. It's mostly illegal. And it is, by definition, a kind of public statement—out there for the whole world to see.

That's why it's so disappointing when wannabe graffiti artists don't give us their A-game, or just don't have one. A Twitter moment collecting some of the worst of the worst efforts in recent months inspired us to find even more bad graffiti at which to shake our heads. Come on, y'all, you can do better than this.

You know, investing in just one art class isn't the worst idea.

On a day when the world was roiling from President Trump's unconstitutional freeze on immigration, with protesters disrupting airports in an effort to get detainees released, people were telling the stories of refugees who had escaped horrors in their homelands to find peace and prosperity in the United States.

One of those stories, from army veteran Dylan Park, was especially poignant. He described meeting a 16-year-old Iraqi boy working as an interpreter with the military during his deployment— he assumed would be killed before making it out of the country. But in an astounding turn of events, his young friend not only survived, he also wound up meeting Park again when they both needed it most.

If you still don't think refugees don't belong in this country, maybe you're the one who should leave.

As Blink 182 once famously said, "nobody likes you when you're 23." The same could also be said of interns, many of whom are around the age of 23, and thus, insufferable. On Friday, one intern finished off his week by messing up so badly at work that he resigned. Then, he told the story on Reddit for all of us to enjoy.

Every step of the story is pretty cringe-inducing, so buckle up. He opens by explaining that he was in the reception area of the real estate firm where he interned, when he noticed someone who he thought looked to be about 18 years old waiting in the lobby. He was about to get lunch, but first wanted to see if the young guest needed help, or if he was just a kid looking at listings for fun. And then, for some reason, he addressed him as "little guy." The Redditor said he asked him, "hey little guy, what's your name and what are you doing here?" He clarified that the reason he called him "little guy" was that his friends in college always called him "big guy," and defended himself by saying "we all know it's just fun." No, intern, we don't, because that is an inside joke, which by definition means we do not know the meaning behind what you're saying. This is why nobody likes interns.

After the guest told him his name, the intern further patronized him by saying, "haha, did you just come in here to walk around?" And the guest promptly left. Later, the intern found out that one of the partners at their firm had been waiting for a guest by the same name, and that they were supposed to go look at a $15 million property together. Safe to say, that didn't happen after our little intern friend inserted himself into the situation.

The following day, the intern (probably laden with guilt at this point), told the partner what happened, offered to speak to the client and said he would resign. It turns out that the client wasn't 18, but 21, and despite being young had a net worth in the nine digits. "The partner was furious because instead of closing a deal, they're now focusing on damage control," said the intern. Apparently it was a property they had been trying to sell for a while, too. "He suggested that I grow up, learn to treat people with respect and not to put his firm on my resume. He asked me not to speak with the client again in case I sabotage things again." Can we blame him? The partner then said that the firm will also be considering whether they should continue with their internship program after this incident.

The intern um, tried, to take a lesson away from the whole thing. "I'll now be focusing on how to treat everyone with respect because everyone deserves respect, even if they have nothing to offer me," he reflected at the end of his post. If only he had left off that last part. Damn, must be hard to be a recent grad just realizing for the first time that the world isn't trying to offer you something every step of the way. Interns. Shake my freaking head.

A one-hour segment of NBC's Today show, which is hosted by Al Roker and Tamron Hall, will be replaced by a segment hosted by Megyn Kelly, Page Six reports. Roker and Hall are two of NBC's most prominent black hosts, and people are upset that they've been pushed out of their prime-time slot by Kelly, who is coming to NBC from Fox News and has made racist remarks in the past.

Though it's not yet determined which slot, either the 9am or the 10am Kelly will fill, one thing has been made clear, Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford aren't going anywhere. "If she takes over Hoda and Kathie Lee’s 10 a.m. hour, they will move to the 9 a.m. hour," an insider told Page Six. Which means that Hall and Roker will get the cut no matter what.

"People are pissed. The third hour was beating every syndicated show across the board," another insider said. Roker also tweeted out the high ratings of the show just earlier this week.

It's also been reported that Hall is planning to leave NBC once her contract is up next month, though it's hard to say which came first, her choice to leave or Kelly's arrival. One thing is for sure though, people are not happy about someone who has regularly dismissed and actively enforced racism. Kelly has made too many bigoted remarks to count but here are a few. She said that Santa and Jesus are both white, disputed the idea of intentionally integrating communities to remove class stratification, calling them "unequal neighborhoods," and, oh yeah, once said that Michelle Obama's speech to a predominantly black high school about overcoming structural inequalities supported a "culture of victimization," Bust reports. Well, at the very least, NBC is losing a bunch of viewers. Here's what fans have to say:

Yesterday, following President Trump's executive order that placed a ban on immigrants from 7 countries with Muslim majorities, protests broke out at major airports across the country. The first was New York City's John F. Kennedy airport, where two Iraqi refugees were detained early on Saturday morning. In solidarity with the peaceful protestors, the NYC Taxi Worker's Alliance, a union made up of 19,000 taxi drivers, stopped service at JFK for one hour, and released a statement opposing the Muslim ban.

Meanwhile, Uber decided to take advantage of the fact that many travelers might find themselves at the airport with no taxis in sight, The Blaze reports. The company turned off their surge pricing and announced the discount via Twitter:

This action was a destructive move to the strike, which would have been made more powerful if all car services had chosen to stand up against the Muslim ban. Uber clearly knew that the strikes were happening, and their choice to have their drivers to keep working, as well as lower fares, was in opposition to the strike, and a slap in the face to any of their Muslim employees who are immigrants to the U.S.

Uber tried to clarify that their actions were not intended to be seen as detrimental to the strikes, by hiding behind the statement their CEO made opposing the Muslim ban, but when you're a part of Trump's economic advisory team, which CEO Travis Kalanick is, it's hard to take a stand against the President. Kalanick's statement, which was issued on Saturday afternoon, seems to grossly underestimate the number of drivers who would be affected by the ban:

"Our People Ops team has already reached out to the dozen or so employees who we know are affected: for example, those who live and work in the U.S., are legal residents but not naturalized citizens will not be able to get back into the country if they are traveling outside of the U.S. now or anytime in the next 90 days."

While the company might only employ a dozen or so Muslims in their corporate offices, there are no doubt many drivers in their larger network of employees who are practicing Muslims. According to Gizmodo, Microsoft reportedly identified 76 employees affected by the ban. Kalanick presented a vague plan to assist those drivers, saying, "we are working out a process to identify these drivers and compensate them pro bono during the next three months." And to top it all off, instead of vehemently opposing the Muslim ban, Kalanick makes a case for why it's fine for him to serve on Trump's economic advisory team.

"I understand that many people internally and externally may not agree with that decision, and that’s OK. It’s the magic of living in America that people are free to disagree."

So, in one day, Uber's CEO failed to stand up strongly against the Muslim ban, and then tried to offer discounts while all the other taxi companies were protesting. Meanwhile, Lyft sent all its users an email stating that they're going to donate $1 million to the ACLU over the next for years, "to defend our constitution.

So, looks like it's time for everybody to clear up a bit of storage space on their phones and delete Uber once and for all.

Last night, as refugees were detained upon arrival to the U.S. and thousands of people flocked to major airports across the country to protest the Muslim ban, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were having a fancy date night for the 1%. She posted a photo on Twitter of the couple posing in formal outfits for what appears to be a black-tie affair, with no comment, NY Mag reports.

The image serves as a symbol of the massive gulf between the rich and the disenfranchised populations of the world, and the extreme levels of wealth now present in the White House, and why that's problematic. Even though the date for the event they attended was likely set a long time ago, it makes no sense why she would post a photo of the opulent evening, except for the fact that she is clearly incredibly tone-deaf.

It's stomach-churning to imagine the two of them enjoying cocktails, eating tiny, meticulously-made hors d'ouevres and making small talk with out soulless elites, while immigrants and refugees are being turned away at the borders, unable to reunite with their friends or visit sick family members. I wonder if it's hard to dance while knowing that your father has just signed an incredibly self-serving, Islamophobic executive order.

Ivanka's oblivious response to Saturday's unrest has her in good company with Uber, who also failed to properly acknowledge the protests. And naturally, people had a lot to say about her display of ignorance:

Last night White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer retweeted a video by satirical news site The Onion titled, "5 Things To Know About Sean Spicer," which is entirely designed to make fun of him. Fact number one tells viewers what Spicer's role in the Trump administration is, which the video says "will be to provide the American public with robust and clearly articulated misinformation." The rest of the four facts also go on to mock Spicer for everything down to his pocket square, and yet, could it be, Spicer is trying to have a sense of humor about the whole thing?

Either his "you nailed it" is an attempt at making ironic statement and showing the world that he's a "fun cabinet member" or Spicer is a grandpa at the internet. What I would like to know is whether it's mandatory for all members of the White House to watch videos about themselves on Saturday night, or if they just choose to do that on their own?

Actor Kal Penn, the star of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle who later became the White House's Associate Director of Public Engagement under President Obama, is turning racist lemons into compassionate lemonade.

On Saturday, amid the explosive controversy over President Trump's immigration freeze targeting Muslims, Penn tweeted a screengrab of a vile comment someone had left on his Instagram account: "you don't belong in this country you fucking joke," it read. But Penn is no doubt having the last laugh now, since he used the social media attack to launch a fundraiser for Syrian refugees. Within 24 hours, more than $265,000 in donations had poured in.

"We are better than the hateful people who tell us we don't belong in our own country, that America can't be a beacon of freedom and hope for refugees from around the world," Penn wrote on the fundraiser page. "We will turn their bigotry, along with the President's, into love." Everything raised will benefit benefit refugees through the International Rescue Committee.

All of which is beautiful and inspiring—and could be the basis of a new Harold and Kumar movie, right?

Now that President Trump's first major move toward keeping brown people out of the United States (namely, the Muslim travel ban) has blown up in his puckered, orange face, people are turning their attention to his other bigly racist initiative: a Mexican border wall whose very construction remains an outrageous pipe dream.

Putting aside the wasteful cost, impossible engineering, utter inefficacy, and widespread denunciations of the idea on a purely moral level, the wall that Trump voters spent a whole year chanting about still seems ridiculous, if for no other reason than that our commander-in-chief is clearly making up everything about it as he goes along. As a result, Twitter is now having a ball coming up with #FakeWallFacts.

Good stuff—but, as usual with Trump, the reality is almost always way stranger, and way worse. Personally, I bet the biggest weakness of the wall will be the plate glass windows we put in so that we don't lose our nice view.

President Trump talks a big game about standing his ground and getting tough. But does he also have a crippling fear of... stairs?

Reports following Trump's meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May have added fuel to an already burning rumor about the president's bizarre aversion to steps and slopes—two ancient, convenient human inventions you'd think would pose no problem to the leader of the free world. Apparently, he gripped May's hand in abject terror while walking down a ramp with her, as if he were your feeble grandpa getting around his retirement home.

Previously, administration insiders expressed skepticism that Trump would ever willingly climb a flight of stairs to powwow with top adviser and failed standup comedian Kellyanne Conway's White House office.

As everyone in media knows, two examples makes a trend, and now most observers are convinced that Trump is even more scared of the real, stair-filled world than we previously imagined.

Trump hates stairs so much, he was even concerned about Obama falling down them.

We also saw Trump foiled by stairs at his inauguration, when he didn't bother to escort his wife Melania up a few steps the way Barack Obama did with Michelle.

Will we soon see an executive order demanding that all the nation's steps and slopes be replaced with golden elevators? Stranger things have happened—especially in the week since an unqualified weirdo moved into the Oval Office.

Sometimes, less is more.

While President Trump's gauche life philosophy would indicate that everything is better if it's bigger, flashier, and more gold-plated, a celebrity of real taste like Kim Kardashian understands the power of simplicity and understatement. Which is why her reaction to Trump's unconstitutional executive order barring thousands of Muslims from entering the U.S. consists of a single word: "Statistics." Of course, she backs that up with the actual numbers.

Ordinarily, Trump would never respond to someone who pointed out that 15 times as many Americans are killed by lawnmowers than by illegal immigrant jihadists each year, but given how famous Kim is—and the fact that her husband Kanye was hospitalized after ranting about his support for Trump—maybe he'll take some time off from ruining the world and tweet that she's promoting fake news or doesn't have a proper grasp of international affairs.

Just kidding—he'll probably just say she's fat.

Over the first weekend of President Trump's administration, we saw hundreds of amazing and witty signs from the Women's March, a hugely successful global effort to remind Donald how many people stand allied against him.

Now, with a Muslim immigration freeze galvanizing demonstrations at airports, parks, and public squares across the country, protesters are adapting their message somewhat to address the current crisis—but the posters are every bit as original as last time. Here are some of the best of the best (of the best):

One thing you can say for Trump: He really brings out the nation's creative side.

The red carpet to the Oscars is long, and makes a stop at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Voted on by their fellow actors, it is quite the accolade to be acknowledged by one's peers, a beautiful celebration of the craft.
