Meryl Streep is basically a chameleon when it comes to transforming into her roles, but last night at the Shakespeare in the Park Public Theater Gala, she stepped into her most challenging role yet—Donald Trump. 

Streep played The Donald while Christine Baranski portrayed Hillary Clinton, and the two sang "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" from the musical Kiss Me, Kate. The song is about using your words to trick people into liking you, so it was fitting. 

Obviously, Streep played the reality show star pretty convincingly, nailing his weird hand motions and looking ravishing in orange. That is, her skin was orange. 

Baranski also sounded great as HRC, but since she's a white lady in her 60s, playing the Democrat wasn't too much of a stretch. 

Streep has been in many musicals from Mama Mia! and Into the Woods, but there is the one role she had to wear the most makeup for. 

Long before Hillary Clinton delighted (and upset) many by becoming the first female presumptive presidential nominee of a major political party, 21-year-old Hillary Rodham was impressing her classmates and professors. When it came time for the​ commencement speech during the 1969 Wellesley College graduation ceremony, the well-educated young women did not suffer through a mundane speech from some old fogey. The person addressing the graduates was none other than their own classmate, Hillary.

Hillary was the first student to ever have the honor of giving the commencement address at the women's college, clips of which Wellesley is now releasing online. She did a decent job, to say the least. Listen/watch to this snippet of the speech from Wellesley if only to hear and see how Hillary has changed since becoming a a famous figure.

Clinton could just copy and paste some of this speech for re-use today. 

We’ve had lots of empathy; we’ve had lots of sympathy, but we feel that for too long that our leaders have viewed politics as the art of the possible, and the challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

Some of her phrases need to be put onto a feminist button ASAP.

Fear is always with us, but we just don’t have time for it. Not now.

If you enjoyed that blast from the past, here are some more throwbacks, provided by the woman herself on Instagram.

Rockin' that stylish grandma look for decades.

Kim Kardashian (hold your boos) is no stranger to controversy. She's been accused of hurting the cause of feminism by posting frequent shots of her nude, contoured body. When she posted a fully nude selfie on Instagram earlier this year, cultural figures including Bette Midler, Chloë Grace Moretz, and more came down on her like a ton of angry bricks. You remember that selfie. It broke the Internet for like the fifth time:

Kardashian recently appeared on the tech/media podcast Recode Decode, giving a rare audio-only (and hence butt-free) interview. Speaking to host Kara Swisher, she explained that she was genuinely surprised by the reaction:

I truly was baffled when people still cared.

They have seen me naked 500 times! The censor bar literally was probably more covered than a bikini. I could not grasp how people were so outraged. Some people were outraged because I’m a mom, but others were more positive.

She makes some excellent points. She has indeed been naked a lot—that's how she, and by extension her whole family, first rose to fame. And why do people care? It's not like she's the only person who gets naked on the Internet.

Despite the fact that every media piece about her (including this one, inevitably) receives comments saying, "Who cares?" the facts suggest that many people do care. A lot. Enough to cast judgment on her at length, anyway. Even her most dedicated haters seem to see her as a leader and role model, which is not how she sees herself. She explained that to Swisher:

My personality has never been, "I’m such a feminist and follow me and be naked!" If you are conservative and that’s how you are comfortable, more power to you. I respect you. You don’t have to look at what I do.

Another excellent point. You really don't have to look. But you're not going to stop, are you?

O.J. Simpson is smiling for the camera in a newly released mug shot from Nevada's Department of Corrections. The Juice got his new pink headshot because they periodically take new photos to keep inmates' records updated. He's currently serving 33 years for armed robbery because he stormed a Las Vegas hotel room at gunpoint to steal sports memorabilia (not because of the most famous criminal trial of the '90s and a recent smash success TV series).

Here's the new mug shot: 

Everyone will have to wait another 10 years or so for a new picture, or a reboot of The People v. O.J. Simpson.

Beyoncé was honored with the Fashion Icon Award at the star-studded CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, and took the opportunity to make a beautiful, personal acceptance speech. Discussing her early journey to stardom, Beyoncé thanks her mother, grandmother, and uncle for hand-sewing her costumes when they were too poor to buy them.

"When I wore these clothes I felt like Khaleesi," she says, "I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name." It was a moving moment of vulnerability, a different sort of slay.

Here's the whole speech. Hope you've got Kleenex in your bag (swag).

Or, if you're not ready to hear the emotion in the queen's voice, read it below. Beyonce begins with a gracious tone, thanking her presenter for the introduction and hearkening back to the day's when her grandmother worked as a seamstress.

Thank you so much, Diane, for the things you just said about me. I feel so much love and I feel so proud. As long as I can remember, fashion has been part of my life. Its effect on me actually started before I was born. Many of you guys don’t know this, but my grandmother was a seamstress. My grandparents did not have enough money, they could not afford my mother’s Catholic school tuition. So my grandmother sewed clothes for the priests and the nuns and made uniforms for the students in exchange for my mother’s education. She then passed this gift onto my mother and taught her how to sew.

She talks about how difficult it was to find clothing to suit her body type, but how she still insisted on not conforming to that standard:

Starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black country curvy girls, and we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture.

Wow. Certainly, if Beyonce holds a grudge, those particular labels are suffering now.  Of course, even though Beyonce doesn't have issues with brands not wanting her to represent them anymore, she still has to defend herself against body shamers from time to time. Like the one time her "thigh gap" became an issue. But clearly, Bey doesn't let it bother her much.

My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York. But like my grandmother, she used her talent and her creativity to give her children their dreams. My mother and my uncle, God rest his soul, made all of our first costumes, individually sewing hundreds of crystals and pearls, putting so much passion and love into every small detail.

While many associate fashion with body image and anxiety, Beyoncé expresses how clothes can actually empower.

When I wore these clothes I felt like Khaleesi. I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.

Before moving on to, again, give all the credit to her family:

My mother is fabulous and beautiful and she’s here tonight. My mother, my grandmother, and my uncle are always with me so I cannot fail. My mother actually designed my wedding dress, my prom dress, my first CFDA Award dress, my first Grammy dress, and the list goes on and on. And this to me is the true power and potential of fashion. It’s a tool for finding your own identity. It transcends style, and it’s a time capsule of all of our greatest milestones. So to my mother, my grandmother, my uncle, thank y’all. Thank you for showing me that having presence is about far more than the clothes you wear and your physical beauty. Thank you for showing me how to take risks, work hard, and live life on my own terms.

She thanks designers for making clothes that lets people be themselves, and give opportunities for self-expression.

I want to say thank you to every designer who works tirelessly to make people think they can write their own story.Y’all are fairy godmothers, magicians, sculptors, and sometimes even our therapists. I encourage you to not forget this power you have or to take it lightly. We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or magazine cover and see her own reflection. Soul has no color, no shape, no form. Just like all of your work, it goes far beyond what the eye can see. You have the power to change perception, to inspire and empower, and to show people how to embrace their complications, and see the flaws, and the true beauty and strength that’s inside all of us. Thank you so much for this incredible award, I’ll never forget this night. God bless you all. Thank you.

TL;DR: 

Beyoncé, of course, had her family in the audience to celebrate her honor.

And the rest of her family (well, her fans) all over social media.

On Monday, hero dog Bretagne (pronounced "Brittany"), the last remaining 9/11 rescue dog, had to be put down due to kidney failure. She was just a few months shy of her 17th birthday, which in dog years is very, very old.

A week after the Twin Towers were struck on September 11, 2001, Denise Corliss, an electrical engineer from Texas, and Bretagne (who was then 2 years old) were deployed to Ground Zero, where they worked tirelessly together 12 hours a day, for 10 days, with Texas Task Force One.

In 2015, Bretagne, Corliss, and Corliss' husband were all invited back to NYC for Bretagne's 16th birthday, courtesy of BarkBox (a monthly box o' dog treats subscription service). Bretagne was feted for the weekend in true hero dog style—she ate hamburgers, saw herself on a billboard in Times Square, played in the sprinkler at the dog park, and, of course, received more toys and treats than you can shake a stick at (she probably got some sticks to fetch, too).

Corliss knew it was time to let Bretagne go when she lost interest in her very favorite thing: food. She told Today, "She was really anxious last night and she just wanted to be with me. So I laid down with her, right next to her. When she could feel me, she could settle down and go to sleep. I slept with her like that all night."

On Monday, Bretagne received a final send-off complete with honor guard (organized by the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department's search and rescue team). On its Facebook page, the fire department wrote of Bretagne, "Her calm demeanor and warm heart helped the young and old through their own difficult moments."

There's a video of the whole salute, but you better have a box of tissues on hand. Maybe a few boxes, actually.

Godspeed, Bretagne. America thanks you for your service. Now go be a good girl in heaven.

During a new Q&A segment on the Today Show this morning, Savannah Guthrie was asked the one thing you're never supposed to ask a woman: "Are you pregnant?" 

"This is weird," she says as she looks at the question written on the paper. "Are you pregnant?" Her face says she wasn't planning on announcing that info today, but then she grins with excitement. Because she IS pregnant. 

Whew, such a close call.

Redditor Sunbrojesus's story about taking out the trash—and taking in a whole bunch of tiny, egg-holding ants—will have you convinced that science should drop all their global warming research and instead go full throttle on replacing all ants with dogs. 

Oh, you're confused? The proposal is simple. Just, like, round up all the ants and send them to Mars and in their place introduce a few million more dogs. You know? Come on, just get onboard with the movement to eliminate all ants and replace them with dogs. Read this guy's story until you're convinced.

He shared his unfortunate tale on the "Today I Fucked Up" subreddit.

Are you convinced yet that all ants should become dogs instead? Imagine having a punch of little puppies all over your shirt. Not bad, huh? Now imagine a bunch of tiny ants holding ant-spawn. Not so great, right? 

Reddit gets it. PandaObsession commented:
 

Victionicious was more succinct.

And all Coldin228 can do is think about the humanity of the ants. Shame on him.

What does he think this is, a story about dogs?

What about this story from escott1981?

Hopefully, Frosted Flakes are now ruined for you and all you can think about is how much better the world would be if, instead of ants, there were just a lot more dogs. One of you must be a scientist. Please figure it out. 

Photographer and activist iO Tillet Wright was the friend Amber Heard was speaking to when Johnny Depp allegedly took the phone out of her hand and threw it directly at her face. In fact, iO is the one who called the cops. On Monday night, iO took to Twitter to state publicly what was heard on the phone that night and to air iO's frustrations with people victim-blaming Heard and dismissing her claims of domestic abuse at the hands of her estranged celebrity husband.

Amber Heard has done everything a woman accusing someone of domestic abuse is "supposed" to do—she took pictures, documented events, made a sworn statement, and even has witnesses corroborating her story. And still, a lot of people think she's lying.

Six and a half years ago, this nice man with a mustache did the tamest thing a person can do on Craigslist… he sold a printer. But as the Indy Star reported, that minor decision would turn out to be the biggest mistake of his life.

Unfortunately, he sold the printer to Indiana's infamous pro se litigant, Ukranian immigrant Gersh Zavodnik. ("Pro se litigant" means he represents himself in court. You're welcome.)

Zavodnik moved here under political asylum, and then proceeded to make it really understandable why Ukraine didn't want him. Let's start with how this guy turned a $40 printer sale into a $30K payout through a frivolous lawsuit.

It happened like this: Costello, then 65, did a straightforward sale on Craigslist in 2009. The sale was $40 for the printer, plus a little more to ship—the total was less than $75. Because this was the sale of a printer and not anything of real value, that should have been the end of it. It wasn't.

First, Zavodnik tried to sue Costello in Marion County Small Claims Court for falsely advertising a malfunctioning printer with missing parts. (Zavodnik claims the printer didn't work.) He asked for the maximum $6,000 reward, but the case was thrown out due to lack of evidence–namely, because Zavodnik had thrown the printer away. That should have been the end of it, but as you know, it wasn't.

Zavodnik filed another lawsuit in Marion Superior Court, requesting damages for breach of contract, fraud, conversion, deceptive advertising, and emotional distress. The court dismissed that case, along with 26 other cases Zavodnik had brought against other people, most of whom had also sold him items on Craigslist. (If Zavodnik really kept getting taken by sellers, you'd think he would have stopped using Craigslist after his third lawsuit, right?) THAT should have been the end of it… but it wasn't.

Zavodnik appealed all of those cases because suing people is his full time job.

Then, and this is where it gets really crazy, he sent Costello paperwork asking Costello to admit that he was liable for more than $30,000 for breach of contract, fraud and conversion.

Costello didn't respond to it, for obvious reasons.

So Zavodnik sent two more requests for admissions. One asked Costello to admit that he conspired with the judge and that he was liable for more than $300,000, and another asked Costello to admit that he was liable for more than $600,000. These requests sound delirious, but they are what ended up winning his case.

According to Indiana law, if a defendant does not respond to requests for admissions—even ridiculous ones—within 30 days, they will be held liable. Costello claimed he never received the requests, but in 2015—six years after selling that printer—Special Judge J. Jeffrey Edens felt he had no choice but to award Zavodnik a judgment of $30,044.07 for breach of contract.

WTF.

"What kind of reality am I in now?" Costello asked the Indy Star following the ruling. "I don't know what's going on. Why don't I know what's going on?"

Finally, Costello fought back and filed his own appeal. For the love of Craigslist, Chief Judge Nancy Vaidik saw the lawsuit for what it was and determined the $30 damages "had no basis in reality."

In a 13-page opinion, Vaidik called Zavodnik a "prolific, abusive litigant,” and the issue was put to bed.

Still, Costello was put through six and a half years of stress. It almost seems like enough for a counter-suit, but he says he has no plan to pursue any legal action against Zavodnik.

"I've had enough," he told the Indy Star. "I don't need him in my life anymore."

Costello also said he will no longer sell anything online.

Spoilers below. Do not read if you haven't seen season 6, episode 7 of Game of Thrones: "The Broken Man."

While Jon talks smack to wildlings and Davos connects with 10-year-olds, it's up to Sansa to send the Game of Thronesspam mail across Westeros. Thanks to the robust subreddit r/GameOfThrones, fans desperate to know what she was writing in Sunday's episode now have an answer. Using prodigious Photoshop skills, user CreepyPancakes figured out what Sansa was up to with that clandestine note.

By zooming in on the image, flipping it around, enhancing it, and finally relying on the help of Reddit's desperate Thrones-fiends to fill in the blanks, Creepypancakes deciphered the following message:

…you promised to protect me … Now you have a chance to fulfill your promise … Knights of the Vale are under your command. Ride north for Winterfell. Lend us your aid and I shall see to it that you are … rewarded.

Earlier in the season, Sansa had been reluctant to rely on Lord Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish because of the whole "accidentally selling her to a sadist/rapist/murderer/dog-enthusiast" thing. She's obviously out of options at this point. The note makes it pretty clear she's letting Littlefinger out of the dog house only so that her brother, Rickon, doesn't get devoured in Ramsay's.

This is not shocking, and basically what everyone expected. But there's also another theory floating around Reddit—that Sansa's not writing to Littlefinger, but Littlefinger's stepson, the heir to the Vale himself, Sweetrobin. As one theory puts it:

Sansa does not want to be beholden to Littlefinger, but she needs the Vale. And Sweetrobin is the only other character who can grant her those troops. By going around Littlefinger, she accomplishes her goal, without giving him leverage over her in the future. And she successfully undermines his position of authority in the process.

It's possible, but either way, it seems pretty certain that Littlefinger's going to need to get involved here. Unless he drags the raven carrying this desperate message right into the Vale's trash folder and shacks up with a queen in a warmer part of the world.

It's (finally!) the very last Primary Day for the final round of states, including New Jersey, the Dakotas, and the most important state in the union for celebrity selfies: California. Hollywood was off to the polls, today exercising their right to vote and then pat themselves on the back for it. 

Celebrities engaged in the democratic process, and they even got stickers to prove it!

Here are some of Hollywood's most impassioned tweeters, making sure you don't forget they exist on Primary Day. Granted the stars who actually bother to vote aren't the most famous of the famous, because the famousest are too busy being famous to be citizens, apparently.

Daniel Radcliffe is world-famous for portraying one of the most famous wizards of all time in the Harry Potter movies—but is he a wizard in real life, too? Evidence suggests that sure, why not?

Radcliffe stopped byThe Tonight Show on June 6th and spoke with Jimmy Fallon about how people on the Internet keep unearthing super old photos with doppelgängers of himself in them. At least, that's what he claimed, but is that just what he wants you to believe while he visits decades past with his time-turner? We're onto you, Potter. Check out the interview and watch Radcliffe try to play it cool like he isn't a time traveling wizard. Which he totally is.

 First, there is the picture that Radcliff describes as "It's me as an old lady as a young boy."

Then there is the picture that looks like a still from one of Radcliffe's movies, but isn't. 

A convincing picture of a stern old lady who looks like Potter in drag.

But not every lady Radcliffe resembles is old and stern. 

And then there is this picture, where Andy Samberg's doppelgängers and Daniel Radcliffe's doppelgängers ended up in the same frame together.

Despite all the conspiracy that Radcliffe is a time traveling wizard, the biggest mystery of all remains: is Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe actually the same person?

For the past two years, 18-year-old Lotte Lutjes from the Netherlands has been Single White Female-ing Taylor Swift, but in a very nice way.

It began when the Swift superfan hit up a concert with her friends in early 2014, according to Seventeen. The squad wanted to dress up in different Swift outfits, with Lutjes as ringleader Taylor Swift. Alas, she couldn't find an outfit like it for purchase, so Lutjes made her own, with her grandmother's help.

Upon discovering the ancient art of sewing, Lutjes fell in love, and has since recreated 13 more of Swift's looks. This girl has a gift with the needle, because her outfits look impeccable.

Lutjes's "Shake It Off" outfit is quite practical.

Her "Fearless" dress shows that this kid has been a Swift fan since the early, curly hair days.

Lutjes has spent a lot of time recreating concert outfits, like this vampiric one from the ​Red tour.

In case you missed it, Swift's 1989 tour was very sparkly.

Lutjes even made her very own version of the underwear with a train that Swift wore to the 2016 Grammys.

Taylor Swift has seen Lutjes's creations and been confused as to whether she's looking at herself or not.

Swift must often get confused with all her blonde, lipstick wearing doppelgängers.

While Lutjes is happily upright in all her costumes, she has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. That means that she's unable to stand for long periods of time, and often uses a wheelchair (that she decks out in T. Swift gear when appropriate).

"I've felt really left out and useless at times," Lutjes told Seventeen about her disease, "but this honestly felt like a whole new world!" The costumes aren't about inhabiting Swift's world, but living within Lutjes's. "The costumes definitely make me feel more confident. Not because I look like Taylor in them—that's not my main goal! I just love making them and they make me feel fierce."

Who would have thought that anybody but Taylor Swift could pull off all these outfits?

Jennifer Mulford from Atlanta, GA, has a pretty hectic breastfeeding schedule right now. Nope, not a new baby. According to The Sun, Mulford reportedly took time off from her bartending job so she could focus on feeding her boyfriend every two hours.

Well, she's not technically feeding him yet, because although she is a mom, her child is now 20, so she's not producing milk anymore. What they're doing is called "dry feeding"…

…which tricks the body into producing milk because it thinks it's feeding a child (because, under normal circumstances, who or what else would be consistently suckling her breasts?).

Mulford became intrigued with Adult Breastfeeding Relationships (ABR) after reading about them and finding herself feeling envious of the bond breastfeeding can create between two people. Two people who are not parent and child.

She toldThe Sun, "When I read about the pure joy it brought others, I was desperate to seek out a partner to share an emotional bond with." The only hitch was that Mulford was, at the time, single. She started searching dating sites, ABR forums, and even Craigslist, for a man to start an ABR with, but no luck. (Honestly, if you can't find a man to breastfeed on Craigslist, then what has the world come to?)

At last, she found Brad Leeson, an old boyfriend from her school days with whom she was chatting one night about ABR. Turns out he was open to the idea, and Mulford knew she'd found "a partner for life." They both wanted the same thing: "a magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve."

Mulford drinks Mother's Milk Tea, an herbal beverage thought to simulate female hormones, three times a day. She also takes an herbal pill called Lactiful, which supposedly helps milk supply. If her man isn't there, Mulford uses a pump. They set an alarm during the night to make sure they don't miss a "feeding." Because nothing enhances a relationship quite as much as sleep deprivation.

Mulford says she draws the line at breastfeeding in public, although Leeson is totally up for it. Shaming breast-feeding moms is terrible, except in this case, when shame, shame, shame because NO. 

Well, okay, if you're really into it then whatever makes you happy.

Mulford guesses her milk will start coming in about two months, and once it does, she and Leeson are in it for the long haul. She tellsThe Sun:

This is a lifestyle we have chosen. We look forward to years from now still needing and wanting each other. I can come home from a very stressful day and seconds after Brad latching on I feel a sense of peace and calm. For that time I feel like we become one. I have yet to feel anything more comforting. It’s a bond that no one can come between.

It's also a bond that probably no one wants to come between.
