Last night during the GOP debate, candidate and presidential son/brother Jeb(!) Bush defended his brother against Donald Trump (George W., not Marvin, though Marvin could use all the help he can get). Trump pointed out how the Bush Administration gave us Barack Obama, "because it was such a disaster those the last three months, that Abraham Lincoln couldn't have been elected." Jeb retorted, "As a relation to my brother, there's one thing I know for sure, he kept us safe." He went on to describe how great Dubya was at photo-ops in rubble of 9/11, and basically that those pics are stronger than policies. 

Today, Jeb tweeted his quote with the beautiful image he described:

He kept us safe. pic.twitter.com/Plq9Hm7caE

Using 9/11 photographs and rhetoric is definitely one of the best trends of the past 14 years, and Jeb is ON IT. Of course, the pairing of "kept us safe" with the worst terrorist attack in history struck some pesky naysayers as odd:

While some whales were feeding on a school of fish off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, a seal hopped onto one of their backs to catch some easy grub. Luckily, nature photographer Robyn Malcolm was around and managed to photograph this awesome inter-species interaction.

Here's a video of Robyn recounting the incident:

Someone should turn these images into an inspirational posters promoting teamwork and place them in elementary schools around the country. Maybe then we could become the great civilization we've always dreamed of becoming.

New images of Pluto's surface were released by NASA, revealing all sorts of terrain back-lit by a sunset. Yes, there are pictures of mountains, plains, and hazy skies illuminated by dusk. No likenesses to cartoon dogs this time, just beautiful, close encounters with the actual surface of the dwarf planet. These new images will be the muse for artists' renditions of planets, the kind that become screen savers and posters in stoners' bedrooms. Conspiracy theorists will no doubt scour the images for objects that look like aliens.

It's too bad Pluto is so far away from the Sun, or else it would sparkle like a rapper's grill or a socialite's cleavage. It would also melt, though, so... you're good, Pluto. You're good.

I like a good, cold Budweiser; it's a great pizza-pairing beer. But I've been looking for a version of Bud that seems more... what's the word I'm looking for? Desperate. Maybe a Bud that peaked in 1992? Well, the Canadian arm of that boozy mistress has answered my prayers, because they're releasing a limited edition Budweiser that's "inspired by" and "infused" with Metallica.

No, Lars Ulrich didn't swim around it, Red Tick Beer-style. Rather, when Metallica performed at a new venue in Quebec earlier this week, the Centre Videotron, Budweiser parked a big truck of beer outside to soak up the vibes, stating in a press release: 

During the concert, the sonic vibrations from Metallica's music will be infused into the liquid, creating the rock and roll recipe.

I think Budweiser might be a little confused about how a recipe is made, because all I know is that I can't make a "Can't Feel My Face" cake just by playing The Weeknd nearby while it cooks. Anyway, the beer will be released in Canada and is limited to 100,000 cases. Here's what the truck looked like outside the venue:

https://www.facebook.com/centrevideotron/photos/a.1597165717197233.1073741829.1591562007757604/1655599334687204/?type=1

And if you're wondering about how that Metallica show went, here's a quote from Centre Videotron's post about the show, which was translated by Google from French to English. I'm hoping that this isn't a translation error, and the Centre really called Metallica's equipment garbage:

Opening trash 
outset, Metallica decided to test the acoustics of Videotron Centre opting for equipment of its trash day. The evening kicked off with a bang on with "Creeping Death", during which 20,000 brandished fists furiously beating the pace a deafening din.

Married couple/wedding photographers/seemingly awesome people Judy and Gavin are having a baby, and they decided to announce their pregnancy in an unusual way: with a horror movie trailer. In the About section of the video, Gavin writes:

Thanks to my loving wife Judy and our new family that we will start together. This video may be scary, but starting a family with her is anything but. I love you!

Great for you, Gavin! Meanwhile, the rest of us are furiously buying condoms. Or, if we're ready to have kids, furiously trying to come up with more creative pregnancy announcements because we're worried ours aren't good enough. Basically, you've succeeded in terrifying us all.

Hey, you there. Yeah. You, the cameraman. Mr. Puppy here would like to have a few words with you. He thinks that maybe you saw something — maybe a certain puppy-like individual? — tearing up some paper. And he just wants to assure you that what you think you saw, you didn't actually see. So let's all just take a little ride down to the docks together right now, yeah? Because one thing I can tell you about Mr. Puppy: he loves going for rides.

Trevor Noah is getting ready to take on Republicans full-time, when he takes over for Jon Stewart starting September 28, but based on this clip, he could also have taken over for Stephen Colbert.

When discussing the GOP debate, Noah was able to replace his smooth, South African accent with a solid Generic White Politician voice, which will serve him very well as he covers the 2016 election. Noah whittled down the entire 3-hour conservaganza into a few non-sensical phrases that pretty much encapsulated GOP rhetoric.

Amber Rose combined her comedic talents and political mission in this sketch from Funny or Die, which shows a "Walk of Shame" in a Pleasantville-like town in which people celebrate her choices.

There might even be a cameo from everyone's favorite Correctional Officer/Person Trying to Get Away with Murder. 

Amber Rose is no stranger to comedy sketches, having rapped about her fudge-machine in Inside Amy Schumer's "Milk Milk Lemonade."

In the pun-based bit "Pup Quiz," the stakes are high: if you answer correctly, you get a golden retriever puppy, but if your opponent does, they'll *retrieve* the retriever. This is how biology and veterinary science should be taught in schools.

20-year-old Denzel Biggs of Detroit is back in prison a whopping 12 days after getting out. The ex-con was released after a two-year stint for weapons offenses, and thought he'd celebrate his newfound freedom by getting his hands on some sweet, sweet weapons. But then, like all master criminals, he made one crucial mistake. He posted an incriminating picture of himself on Facebook, where anybody could see it. Here's the picture – see if you can spot the subtle evidence of criminal activity:

Did you catch it? If you look closely at the hands he's sticking into the camera, you'll see that they both contain large pistols. Of course, it's illegal for felons to bear arms, especially when they're on probation, and double especially when they post threatening pictures of them online. Pictures like this one:

FBI agents saw the photos while scrolling through Facebook at work (tsk tsk), and arrested Biggs. His fate now will be decided by a judge. Will this man be released to pose with more guns, or will he go right back to the sad, gunless prison yard? Or will he just be banned from Facebook for life? That would be the cruelest fate of all.

There was a huge security oversight on all four of the Kardashian-Jenners' brand new websites that launched last week. It was the same leak that showed the data that Kylie's website is totally crushing her sisters' websites. The leak was discovered by 19-year-old web developer Alaxic Smith, who said he found all the data because he "decided to take a look around to see what was powering the site," which is common among web developers.

While poking around, Alaxic found an open API, which means part of the software that built the site was viewable to people who know how to look for it. By exploring the inner workings of Kylie Jenner's website, he found all the names and email addresses of everyone who signed up. Oops! Get ready to be more embarrassed than if you signed up for Ashley Madison.

Alaxic used the same method (which still sort of seems like magic) to find the list of users on all the Kardashian-Jenners' websites! According to Tech Crunch, the leak has been sealed, so the celebrities can go back to exposing every part of their lives to their fans instead of the identities of their fans. Luckily none of the leaked data was payment info, which might have been the one thing to finally get people to stop paying attention to America's selfie-obsessed royal family.

John Yob, national political director for Rand Paul's presidential campaign, claims he was punched in the face last night by Rich Beeson, Marco Rubio's national campaign manager, and that Beeson is now on the run. 

Last night, Yob attended the GOP Mackinac Conference in Michigan, along with a number of other Republican campaign staffers, including Beeson. And the way Yob tells it, the tension you saw in the debate was nothing compared to what happened behind the scenes.

https://www.facebook.com/johnpatrickyob/posts/10156159284400220

Political blogger Brandon Hall witnessed the incident, and gave a helpful play-by-play:

“I witnessed Beeson suddenly, out of nowhere, approach one of Rand Paul’s advisers, John Yob-unprovoked-and try to hit him… Beeson missed a full on shot but still struck Yob in the face with a powerful blow near the jaw.”

Rubio's campaign hasn't responded to the allegations yet, but Yob is on the attack. He smells blood in the water – it's the perfect chance for his 11th-place candidate to get the jump on his 5th-place rival.

https://www.facebook.com/johnpatrickyob/posts/10156159966630220

What will happen next? Will Beeson be fired? Will this scandal ruin Marco Rubio's chances to be the next president? No, that was already never going to happen.

One thing is for certain: we haven't seen this many unathletic-looking white guys get violent since Fight Club. But this is more entertaining.

Joe Cox from Linthorpe, England, pranked his fiancé by getting fake waiters to drop a fake wedding cake at their ceremony. His wife did most of the wedding planning, so he spent all of his pre-wedding energy putting the stunt together—hiring an entertainment company who was willing to do it, setting up videographers, and making a fake polystyrene cake that cost £335 (around $500).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt6cSAnuYkg

 

After they pull it off successfully, she gets worried and walks off screen. We then cut to Joe, beer in hand, being like "BLEHH! GOTCHA! HAHA!"

For all the planning, it's actually a pretty lame move, not to mention kind of mean to his wife. And $500 for a fake cake? He could've bought another real cake! I'd rather watch a Cake Boss-style video of a pastry chef making a $500 cake than watch this.

He also could've given the money to charity, or whatever.

Donald Trump is facing criticism for remaining silent while a supporter went on an anti-Muslim rant. Last night, Trump hosted a town hall meeting in New Hampshire that kicked off with some spirited remarks from a man that is best described as YouTube comments come to life. Town hall meetings are used by candidates on the campaign trail to take questions from citizens in an open forum. The tricky part about open forums is that anyone can say anything once they get the microphone. This gentleman began with several statements about Muslims before he was reminded that he needed to ask an actual question.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCtAJNiplaw

We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims. You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American.

When Trump laughed and pressed him for a question, the man asked how we'll get rid of "training camps." Presumably he meant training camps for extremists, and Trump had a very specific, policy-driven response that reveals his nuanced skills in statecraft:

You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening. We're going to be looking at that and many other things.

That is the detailed answer from a person who wishes to be Commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forces. He will look at things and make bad things not happen. This is democracy at work, in all its glory.

Gaga's back, but it's not for a club/summer/dance jam/remixable popstravaganza. Lady Gaga's new song is a serious turn, a PSA more about the message than the music. Gaga has been involved with activist causes throughout the course of her career, with empowering anthems like "Born This Way," She puts her message into her club jams, but in this harrowing ballad, there's no distraction from the issues.

Gaga partnered with the filmmakers of The Hunting Ground, a documentary about sexual assault on college campuses, and with songwriter Diane Warren. The video was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Twilight (but please don't hold that against her). The song gets real, and Lady Gaga is making her impact real, by donating proceeds from the song to organizations that help survivors of sexual assault.
