Throw me to a horde of White Walkers because after the pure joy of last week's "The Book of the Stranger," last night's Game of Thrones was sad as f*ck. "The Door," the first episode of the series directed by Jack Bender (who also directed the best episode of Lost, "The Constant," which involved similar time travel mindf*ckery), was another excellent episode in an increasingly exciting season, even as it left all its characters on perilously unsure footing. If you haven't watched last night's episode yet, don't read ahead. For everyone else, I'll hold the door.

Hodor. Hodor. Hodor.

Bran's plot this week could have filled the whole episode, which is not something you usually can say about a Bran plot. But in the course of an hour, the audience saw the deaths of the Three-Eyed Raven, Hodor, Leaf, and Summer the direwolf; saw that White Walkers have the ability to track someone by touch and interact with greenseers in the middle of their visions; saw that the children of the forest created the White Walkers; and most poignantly, saw how Hodor got his name. In this episode, it also became clear that Bran can actually have an effect on things that have already happened, though only in a time-is-a-flat-circle kind of way—Hodor had always lost his mind through Bran meddling in time, and so Bran was always going to meddle in time to complete that cause-and-effect. Bran can't change the past unless he already has changed the past. Whoa, dude.

But let's take a moment to note something else: the world of Game of Thrones is unique on television for the way it cares about characters not often represented on TV shows, particularly fantasy TV shows. In season one, Tyrion proclaims his fondness for "cripples, bastards, and broken things"—it's something the show has actualized in the tender and multi-dimensional way it portrays all manner of disabled or mutilated people, including Tyrion, Bran, Jaime, Theon, and Varys. Until this episode, Hodor didn't necessarily get the same treatment, but that appears to have been by design. Taken as a whole, the way this poor but bright stable boy was inadvertently broken by a highborn lord and then used like a packhorse is heartbreaking.

Small direwolf note: with Summer dead, there are only two Stark direwolves left in Westeros: Arya's long-missing wolf Nymeria and Jon's wolf Ghost. Summer's death is especially sad because with Hodor and Summer both dead, Bran has no reliable body to warg into. 

It's not called a "Queensmoot" for a reason.

With Ramsay's death in sight (we can hope), the show has to introduce a new psychopath, and so here comes Euron Greyjoy, newly elected King of the Iron Islands, who thinks he's somehow going to be Daenerys' third husband despite her notable dislike of kingslayers. Almost immediately, Theon and Yara are forced to flee from their new king, taking the best of the Ironborn fleet with them.

Anyway, not to be that person, but I liked the Kingsmoot from the books better. I missed Yara's brilliant speech calling for the Iron Islands to make peace with Westeros; the fact that her actual speech both focused on revenge and that Theon took an outsized role in her political campaign was so disappointing to me that I had to pause the TV for a second, which I think is a sign that I am maybe taking this boob-filled HBO show too seriously. But seriously, no dragon horn for Euron?!

It's still much better than anything they did with Dorne last year.

The Sansa Stark show.

First off, Sansa's speech to Littlefinger about the trauma she had to go through with Ramsay shows me that they are taking the ramifications of her repeated rapes seriously. So there's that.

She is also acting more and more like a ruler lately; she was the one dictating military strategy this episode, not Jon Snow or even Davos. As she reminded her emerging court, she is the Stark that the North will rally behind, not a bastard (no matter how magical his resurrection). Which leads me to wonder: how likely is it that she will declare herself Queen in the North? In the same way that she was right that she and Jon would never be safe while the Boltons were alive, there is a chance she will also never be safe with the Lannisters and Tyrells controlling the Iron Throne. The Greyjoys aren't the only people who stand to gain by allying with Daenerys and her dragons.

Whatever happens with her character, Sophie Turner acted the hell out of this episode, so all hail Sansa Stark.

Nice moments:

I liked getting to see Meera be heroic. I like Meera. 

The play version of Westerosi politics was fascinating. Watching Arya watch her father's execution again from a crowd reminded me of a Bjork music video.

That extreme close-up on a warty c*ck was something, wasn't it?

BONUS BOOK NERD SPECULATION WITH BONUS BOOK NERD SPOILERS:

Right before I happened to watch this episode, I made a joke to my boyfriend about "The Door" being what Hodor was trying to say this whole time. Since I was inexplicably correct, I will make some irresponsible speculation below as a one-time-only, "am I psychic now?" bonus.

The previews see the return of Dany the unrepentant conqueror. It's been a fringe theory on the Internet that Daenerys will ultimately be, in simplistic terms, a "bad guy" who is unable to rule and can only destroy the world with her dragons (as the new red priestess hinted at). On a pure emotional level, I'm rooting against this, since Daenerys is one of the few characters in the universe with a true sense of idealism and justice (she is maybe the one modern character in a world of campy medieval horror)—but as a storytelling turn, it would be a real knife to the gut. And we all know how much George R. R. Martin loves knifes to the gut.

I can't believe I'm holding out this hope, but with Brienne going to the Riverlands, I am going to make a bold prediction: Lady Stoneheart is finally happening. Keep in mind that I have predicted this, silently, to myself, since Season 4. But this year they are really setting it up, and—as a bonus—it seems like Jaime Lannister is also headed to the Riverlands. I say "as a bonus" even though wishing for Lady Stoneheart (or even just the return of the Brotherhood Without Banners) could mean wishing for Jaime and Brienne to fight each other to the death. Which would destroy me even more than this episode did. But seriously, prediction: Brienne is going to die this season. Bookmark this video of an alpaca being stuck in a hole just in case.

Next week:

The next episode is called "Blood of my Blood." It's how Dothraki khals address their bloodriders—fitting for an episode in which Daenerys will have to choose how to use her new Dothraki army.

On Sunday evening, there was this music event called the Billboard Music Awards where lots of musicians got together in nice/weird outfits.

While baes like Madonna and Kesha were present, Britney Spears was the queen of the eve. Her outfits and abs were straight from the golden years, thus confirming that Britney's back, bitch. Behold the scandalous and sparkly contraptions she slid into.

Britney started off the night knowing she looked hot in this outfit:

Then Brit Brit opened the BBMAs with a medley of her hits in this number:

She looks like time has never passed. Look at her shake and shimmy and be glorious:

Feel your pride for Britney running through your chest.

Here's more of her performance, which involved lots of butt.

Britney's abs capped off the night in this blue ensemble.

All hail, Godney.

Forever our Princess of Pop.

Adele cleaned up at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards, winning awards for Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album and Top Selling Song for Hello. She also premiered a new video, for her song "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," where she appears in front of a black background looking resplendent in your grandmother's best drapes.

The video, which was directed by the Grammy-nominated director Patrick Daughters, has been a hit among her fans on Twitter.

The singer couldn't attend the awards show since she's currently on tour, but she did send a "thank you" video for her awards, so the wins couldn't have been too much of a surprise.

Disney's mega-hit film Frozen will soon be getting a sequel (and probably many more infuriatingly catchy songs), and many are campaigning for the blockbuster's ice queen, Elsa, to get a girlfriend. The hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend pretty much took over Twitter, urging Disney to represent the LGBTQ+ community by giving the world their first lesbian Disney princess.

Idina Menzel, who provides the voice of Elsa and whose voice you heard singing "Let It Go" nonstop for the past several months, shared her thoughts about the online movement with ET at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. She simply said: 

I think it's great. Disney's just gotta contend with that. I'll let them figure that out.

So it looks like even Elsa herself wants Elsa to have a girlfriend in Frozen 2. Your move, Disney.  

Andrew Stadelberger​ hit up a wedding recently that featured the trendy reception staple: a photo booth. This photo booth was cooler than other photo booths, though, because it allowed for slow motion video, Stadelberger said on Reddit. Stadelberger, whom houseQM correctly said looks like a Paul Walker-Vince Vaughn love child, used the photo booth to great, stoic effect.

At first this video seems like great fun—Simon & Garfunkel, what a hoot! Then upon realizing that this song is not that chipper and Stadelberger is giving an ambiguous face worthy of The Graduate, this video gets real. Stadelberger titled the video "This is 30." Shit, what's 40 going to look like? That's going to be a very dark video.

Stadelberger isn't the first to use "The Sound of Silence" as a way to heighten emotions in a video. Here's Sad Affleck as proof that this classic song has added instant feelings to a video before.

Have fun getting that song out of your head. 

After "The Door," a shocking fifth episode of Game of Thrones that saw the death of your favorite people, your favorite animals, and the White Walkers at the beginning of the North's most rocking white-out party, people turned to Twitter to grieve. And to make tasteless jokes about fictional people who feel very real. Warning: spoilers, duh. Here are the 21 funniest tweets about Hodor's last stand and everything else that happened in "The Door."

Ryan Gosling was on UK comedy talk show The Graham Norton Showover the weekend alongside Jodie Foster, Russell Crowe and comedian Greg Davies. Davies was prompted to tell a famous story for the panel guests, and he delivered. Everyone enjoyed it, but Gosling just lost his mind and could not stop laughing.

The story has all the elements of being hilarious: booze, humility, and mom underwear. Now everyone knows that they need a truly outrageous and hilarious story to make Gosling fall over like a game of Jenga:

“I did like a fecal Jackson Pollack” is the new term for foolishly eating curry as a late night drunk snack. Beware of microphones when you head into the bathroom hungover.

Gosling's reputation for breaking down laughing should have proceeded him. Back in December, he delighted the audience of Saturday Night Live by falling apart during a sketch about an alien abduction.

Tattoo artist Benjamin Lloyd of Bay of Plenty, New Zealand has received online backlash for his recent Facebook posts, which show him tattooing a very young kid. What commenters might not realize is that the kid's tattoo isn't life-changing and permanent, it's just a temporary, airbrushed one. Plus, it's of a skull and roses—which is way more badass than some fully-grown people's tattoos, like whatever's inked on the Biebs' face. 

In the post above, Lloyd said that he would give airbrush tattoos to all the kids at Auckland’s Starship Children’s Hospital if he gets 50 likes. The post garnered over 200,000 likes in a day. “I went to sleep and it had gone crazy overnight,” he told Mashable. 

The artist said that it takes him about nine minutes to complete an airbrush tattoo session. Here's a video, which Lloyd also posted on Sunday showing the entire process.

“It’s just amazing watching their confidence and their ego boost up,” Lloyd said. “The only bad thing is that they don’t want to take a shower afterwards.”

Still, after Lloyd clearly stated that the tattoos are "not permanent," concerned parents took to the comments section to relay their anger, frustration, and apparent naivety in regard to Lloyd's (again, impermanent) creative process:

Meanwhile, these other people may know understood the ink was temporary, but still couldn't shake off their disapproval:

And folks like this guy got mad over the fact that the artist asked for likes:

If you don't understand the hate, you will be comforted to learn that a majority of the comments did in fact show support for the artist:

No word yet on whether or not Lloyd has fulfilled his promise to tattoo the kids at the aforementioned children's hospital yet. But, he surely needs to keep his airbrush machine near—for all the online requests he's gotten from parents who want a temporary tat on their children.

Ain't nothing wrong with airbrushing some sick designs on a kid, as long as it does no harm. Just don't let them get something like "DEATH AWAITS" across their forehead, right?

A Game of Thrones discussion forum in 2008 (before the HBO show's premiere, so more accurately an A Song of Ice and Fire discussion forum) popped an obvious question: "What does Hodor Mean?" Warning: spoilers. If you watched episode five of season six, you know that question finally got answered in 2016. But in 2008, a user named Myrddin gave it his best guess:

The poor guy is just asking someone to hold the door for him, since he's always carrying someone else around. After a while, "Hold the door" became "Hold the doorHold the doorHoldoorHodoor. Dammit! Hold the door!" His mind finally snapped, and now all he can say is Hodor.

People say there's truth in comedy. People don't say there's comedy in old Internet discussion boards, but Myrddin's rather lame, offhand joke turned out to be almost completely true. At least as far as the phrase, "hold the door" is concerned.

As Bran warged into Hodor in the past, he caused him to hold a door just bursting at the seems with undead killers in the present, and past Hodor got warped by the experience—shouting "hold the door!" over and over until it became "hodor."

No one deserves to have their fate guessed at correctly by a wiseass on an ASOIAF forum, but Myrddin made it happen for Hodor. 

RIP the giant man.

A few weeks after Pennsylvania teenager Aniya Wolf was asked to leave Bishop McDevitt High School's prom for wearing a slick suit instead of a dress, AP reports that Wolf attended a different prom at William Penn High School in that slick suit and proceeded to look slick as hell as originally intended.

The story began when Bishop McDevitt High's gender-normative administration made a last minute change to their dress code for female students, requiring girls to wear dresses. This took Wolf and her mother by surprise, since they'd looked at the dress code carefully and concluded that the tuxedo would be acceptable under the school's given guidelines. But when she arrived at the dance, faculty refused to let her enter, and even threatened to call for police intervention.

Wolf explained on Facebook:

Clarification is key to this story. I am a practicing Catholic and I live out God's teachings. I hands down love my teachers, I feel as if they have given me an excellent education, they have never frowned upon the way I present myself.

I was presented with not one but two dress codes. The first dress code I was presented with stated that "dresses must be formal" followed by guidelines for a dress but not explicitly stating a dress MUST be worn. This is the dress code my mother and I signed, it stated nothing about woman wearing suits NOT to mention females have worn suits in the past according to alumni. No Bishop Mcdevitt student got an email of the dress code that was "supposedly" sent out on March 9th and March 6th, I asked everyone I know to check their emails and there was nothing there.

The day of prom my mom got a new dress code stating that you need to be wearing a "formal dress" this dress code was presented to just me.

I'm over the situation but I can not just sit back and watch this administration completely try to cover up what actually happened.

I'm sorry for all those who feel like they have been victims of hatred throughout this incident but the truth needs to be heard.

God doesn't make mistakes, he makes people out of his image and likeness. But honestly who is McDevitt to judge.

Following her story about the gender policing administrators going viral, Brandon Carter, the principal at William Penn High School, reached out to invite Wolf to his school's prom, saying that their school "embrace[s] all."

Wolf thanked William Penn High for the invite over Twitter.

Other attendees posted pictures of the event as well, showing that Wolf got the prom that every teen dreams of and William Penn High School got the PR coverage of a public school system's dreams, a win-win for everyone but the Bishop McDevitt faculty.

Wolf told ABC27 that she identifies as a "lesbian cis woman," and that she's worn masculine clothes throughout her life and attendance at Bishop McDevitt High School.

I’ve always been like this, ever since I was little. I was always more masculine. You wouldn’t catch me playing with any Barbie dolls, I’ll tell you that right now.

On top of a wave of positivity and public support, Wolf also landed a spot on the next season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia after creator Rob McElhenney saw the news and felt she'd be a good fit for an upcoming episode. The Sunny star turns out to be a much more compassionate person than the sexually-repressed alcoholic he portrays in the show.

The moral of this story? All aspiring young actresses should wear tuxedos to prom if they want to land a sweet sitcom gig. Also, don't oppress your students.

Contouring has been the biggest trend in makeup for the past several months all thanks to everyone's favorite person, Kim Kardashian-West. Since Kim revealed that her makeup secret is to spend what must be hours painting a bunch of lines on her face and blending them all together, people everywhere have been addicted to the time-consuming makeup trend.

For those who don't know, contouring is using makeup to create shadows and highlights on the face, and a good contour job can even appear to change your face shape. If you want to see a contour in action, check out this video and marvel at the fact that some people really do this to themselves every single day.

Since Kim revealed that the key to chiseled cheekbones and glowing skin is contouring, people everywhere have been trying out the trend that was formerly reserved for drag queens.

But now it may be time to put away your contour kits, because Kim K has officially declared contouring to be extinct. Now she's all about "nontouring" and "strobing," two equally-as-stupid makeup trends that focus more on giving you a natural look. She spoke toVogueabout her new, less-involved makeup routine. 

I think right now it's more about nontouring, like real skin with less make-up on it. I'm trying to wear less... and my husband loves me without make-up. Now when I travel I just bring a small make-up case, and I'm content with that. I'm really into strobing now, so just highlighting the skin without using bronzer. I love contouring and I don't think I'd stop contouring my nose - I know people think I've had a nose job but it really is just make-up!

Sure, Kim. She claims to have really changed, even telling the magazine that although she had a full face of makeup on for the birth of her first child, North, she decided to go barefaced for the birth of her son, Saint. So brave. Now, she says her slimmed-down makeup routine only consists of a few key things, but it's probably still much more makeup than you wear. 

An eyelash curler, a mini Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in the perfect nude that she created for me, mascara - Charlotte's Legendary Lashes is my favorite - my Joe Blasco foundation, a little MAC kabuki brush, a gold eye pencil by Kardashian Beauty, a small pot of powder, blush and my Smashbox bronzer.

There! It only takes nine different products to achieve that simple, effortless "nontouring" look. 

Surely everyone is going to miss looking like they got their face painted by a blind clown at a children's birthday party, but maybe spending less time on your makeup will allow you to have more time to do things like think about what is really important in life: eyeliner. 

Patton Oswalt, a brilliant comedian and one of the most articulate communicators on social media, continues to share little moments of his grief with the world after the sudden passing of his wife, true crime writer Michelle McNamara, in mid-April. On May 23, he tweeted:

Funeral are final but there's no closure.

Memorials are hopeful but they don't bring back the dead.

The upsetting truism gives his fans a picture of his emotions only a couple days after the one month anniversary of his wife's death. For their part, his fans and friends were supportive:

Patton had previously shared a few words of wisdom from his daughter, Alice, a seven-year-old going through her own process of mourning.

Hopefully, the Oswalt family can take some small solace in the fact that they have supporters all over the world. And it's OK if you cry.

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is now a wife, having gotten married to media mogul José "Pepe" Bastón over the weekend. Among the attendees at the nuptials were Ricky Martin, Melanie Griffith, Mario Lopez, and David and Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice. Posh is close friends with Longoria, so close that she was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for friendship: wear Uggs.

Committing the expensive fashion faux-pas was a big deal to Longoria and Beckham, as they both Instagrammed the occasion.

Beckham reposted the pic, adding "I can't believe she put me in Uggs!! You can't say no to the bride!!!!"

The beautiful BFFs were more glamorous the night before, taking a beautiful pic at the wedding reception.

Uggs notwithstanding, the weekend seems like it was a glorious affair, with the beautiful couple looking beautiful surrounded by beautiful people in a beautiful Mexican garden.

Longoria also posted a picture of their rings, and impressive calligraphy.

Mario Lopez caught a pic of all the attendees.

He and his wife caught pics with the most important couples of the night. 

The bride and groom:

And Posh and Becks.

Congratulations to the happy couple, and to Posh Spice for managing to endure wearing Uggs!

It can be easy to forget how old celebrities are, because they're magical ageless pretty people, and also because you don't want to believe that someone can be talented and famous at an age when you could barely get your shit together to pass algebra and put zit cream on your face. That's why it's then surprising to remember that someone like, say, Modern Family's Ariel Winter is still young. Like, "OMG, I'm going to prom!" young.

But that's exactly what she did over the weekend. Or, at the very least, she put a bunch of photos on Instagram of herself in a pretty dress and tagged them #prom #2016:

Here's another picture of her, with a gentleman. This one is artsy because it's black and white and also because there is trash on the ground. She is now v. ready to take Photo 101 in college:

She also took a photo with her father, and the partial arm and leg of someone else. It's a great reminder that even though Ariel Winter is famous at a perilously young age, it doesn't mean that she understands how to properly crop a photo. So at least you have that over her, right?

Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas brought out some of the biggest stars in the music industry, along with some good and a great deal of bad fashion. Here are 13 of the best and worst (mostly worst) looks, featuring not many bras.

1. Z Lala

This whole look is like if Tim Burton and Lady Gaga had a baby. Which is great. No complaints here. The best thing about this cage dress is that it doubles as a jail for cats (if any bad cats happen to show up to the awards show).

2. Rihanna

Rihanna sort of did the opposite of stun in this vintage Thierry Mugler dress. This dress would maybe be okay with some shoulder pads in the 90s and in any color that is not drab olive/maybe brown/ugh just look away. This dress was on a mission to make RiRi look frumpy. It didn't fully work, because Rihanna's good looks can triumph against almost anything, but it was a close call.

3. Ariana Grande

Ariana looked wonderful dressed as the movie Tron.

4. Kate Beckinsale

Kate looked gorgeous wearing a strappy white gown with a plunging neckline and carrying an enslaved butterfly as a clutch.

5. Demi Lovato

Singer Demi Lovato was in such a rush to get to the awards show she forgot her shirt and most of her feet.

6. Kesha

While everyone was thrilled to see (and hear) Kesha perform again, a lot of people did not seem very into her purple mariachi band outfit, which paid tribute to Prince as well as the Three Amigos.

7. Kelly Rowland

The singer looked lovely dressed as a harp in a silver, semi-sheer Labourjoisie gown made mostly of swirls.

8. Steven Tyler

Steven Tyler came dressed as a Johnny Depp impersonator who just finished watching Steel Magnolias eight times in a row.

9. Britney Spears (before the show)

Britney was so nervous about performing that she completely forgot to wear pants, but it gave everyone a really good look at the rest of her Frederick's of Hollywood attire. She looks a little cold, though. Maybe her train could double as a shawl.

10. Britney Spears (after the show)

This is much better. She still looks a little cold, though.

11. Ciara

Ciara paired her side boob with a gorgeous silver drop-waist gown.

12. Laverne Cox

Orange is the New Black's Laverne Cox was the epitome of glamor, as always. Jail's been really good for her.

13. Halsey

While it may not be very flattering, it was a really sweet gesture for singer Halsey to wear a dress made by blind children at arts and crafts camp.

If you think your throwback prom pics are embarrassing, you're in good company. Even the hottest celebrities have fallen victim to cringe-worthy fashion choices, uncomfortable prom dates, and general teenage uncomfortableness. These celebrity prom photos will remind you that stars really are just like us: terribly awkward. 

1. Fun fact: Ellen DeGeneres murdered a couch to make this dress.

2. Lil Jimmy Fallon looks like a rejected cast member of Twilight in his awkward prom pic.

3. Snoop Dogg is still married to his prom date. He also still writes things like "2 gether 4ever !!"

4. YAAASSS RuPaul.

5. Teenage Gwen Stefani looks so cute (and so tan) in her homemade prom dress.

6. It's impossible to look at Josh Duhmel's bowl cut and not say the word, "Duuude."

7. Taraji P. Henson's prom date is not pictured because he was eaten by her sleeves.

8. Teenage Mathew McConaughey looks alright, alright, alright. (This is the most clothing he's ever worn.)

9. Taylor Swift definitely wrote a song about this guy.

10. Beyonce's prom date probably has more regrets than her dress had cut outs.

11. Yes, Lance Bass went to prom with Topanga. No, he wouldn't touch her back.

12. Is this a picture from Brad Pitt's prom, or his teenage wedding?

13. Before she was a Real Housewife, Bethenny Frankel was a real train wreck.

14. The theme of Michelle Obama's prom was giant wicker chairs. 

15. Li'l Britney Jean looks like a contestant in a Miss Teen USA pageant. 

Cut to four years later and she's wearing a dang snake around her neck.

While in theory sporting a fancy outfit and having people shout endless compliments at you sounds like a blast, walking the red carpet most likely sucks more than most plebeians realize. Between all the noise and the burdensome footwear, it's impressive that celebrities aren't having mental breakdowns or simply losing their balance more often. Then again, celebrities are a different breed of human and falling is something that normal people do.

When a celebrity falls, it's a rare display of humanity on their part that serves as a great reminder that those famous shells hold human people somewhere inside them. Here are 12 times Jennifer Lawrence and a few other famous people revealed they're just like us and are embarrassing messes when it comes to walking.

1. Ariana Grande made a seductive entrance at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards.

2. Hayden Panettiere went surfing on the steps of the 2014 Met Gala. 

3. Jennifer Lawrence was pulled down into the fiery pits of hell at the 2015 Oscars.

4. Jools Holland wasn't paying much attention at the 2014 GQ Awards.

5. AnnaLynne McCord was one with gravity at a 2009 Teen Vogue party.

6. Jennifer Lawrence struggled to use her legs at the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 premiere.

7. Helen Mirren took a moment to admire the carpet in Cannes this year.

8. How does it compare to the carpet at the Woman in Gold premiere, Dame Mirren?

9. Amy Schumer couldn't help but pretend to feel bad after "falling" in front of Kimye.

10. Mariah Carey's shoe refused to promote her docu-series Mariah's World at this year's upfronts.

11. Jennifer Lawrence heroically took a tumble at the X-Men: Apocalypse premiere.

12. Elisabeth Rohm slid out of camera frame ever so gracefully at a QVC event in 2014.

Poor things: they can't pretend that nobody noticed like a normal person could.

On Sunday night's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver, America's Explainer in Chief, took on the biggest clusterf*ck in American democracy: the structure of American democracy. Undoubtedly, there are Bernie Sanders fans on your Facebook feed posting about how the system is rigged (and maybe even Trump fans who were pissed that the system was rigged until he won), and it turns out that they're right. Primaries and caucuses, "the electoral foreplay we've been engaging in since February that culminate in the mass balloon ejaculations at this summer's conventions," are a labyrinth of broken rules that vary from state to state. You wouldn't put up with this sh*t if it compromised the direct democracy of Dancing with the Stars. 

As Oliver says, "the middle of the game is the worst time to change the rules," so set an alarm in your phone for February 2, 2017. It's time to call Debbie Wasserman-Schultz or Reince Preibus, and not just to giggle about their names.
