On Tuesday, much of the Democratic Party agreed that Hillary Clinton had claimed enough delegates to become the party's presidential candidate. On Wednesday, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes reminded her Twitter followers that if Bernie supporters thought early June was too early to call the race for Hillary, Telnaes had already called it way back in 1999.
"Sir, I think I figured out what the Clinton legacy is," a man says, presumably to Bill Clinton but also possibly to an alternate universe Jay Leno. Remember when the "Clinton Legacy" referred to Bill? This writer doesn't!
But history remembers Hillary's spell as first lady for work on health care and at the UN, not to mention she'd already gone to Yale Law School and investigated President Nixon. So Telnaes probably wasn't the only one to recognize Mrs. Clinton's political aspirations and potential. But in 2016 it sure seems prophetic.
The simple picture of course doesn't include Donald Trump, sexism, Bernie Sanders, sexism, and hot sauce-gate, but it's good soothsaying work nonetheless. Bravo, Telnaes. Now whip up the same cartoon for Michelle Obama.
Before they were married in May of this year, Chinese couple Lu Yiqin and Zhang Hedong were going through his old vacation photos when Yiqin noticed a familiar figure standing behind Hedong in one pic: her mom.
No, they weren't secretly long-lost siblings. It turned out that 16 years ago, on the same day that Hedong and his family were visiting the Giant Buddha in Wuxi, Lu's mom was visiting the same monument with her family. Lu's mom ended up in the background of Hedong's photo, in what might be the meet-cute with the slowest, least exciting payoff in history.
Here's Lu's mom wearing that same red jacket in her own pic.
It's a coincidence just too random for it NOT to mean Hedong and Yiqin are meant to be together forever.
Let's replace all "Is He Right For You?" quizzes with women looking through their boyfriends' old vacation photos for their moms. If she's not there, it's over.
A U.K. man named Dan O'Hara has gone viral with a tweet confessing to a major 21st-century dating faux pas. After meeting a young lady named Laura, O'Hara started receiving multiple texts from her, despite his lack of response. Wanting to share a hearty bro laugh with his buds about this "nuts" behavior, he took a screenshot of their conversation to send to a group chat. Instead, he sent it straight back to her. The result was so embarrassing, he had no choice but to tweet it for the whole world:
Screenshotted a girls convo and accidentally sent it back to her instead of the group chat 😓😓pic.twitter.com/oAPxYZ8xxR
That's awkward. But not as awkward as the response from the Internet. O'Hara's tweet quickly went viral, racking up more than 12,000 retweets and 27,000 shares within three days. Now Laura and O'Hara's mutual embarrassment has spread across the entire world. O'Hara was shocked by the reaction, as his subsequent tweets prove:
To be fair, he probably didn't break anyone's heart. Unfortunately, he decided to exercise restraint after the initial tweet, so if Laura responded, the world will never know. Meanwhile, O'Hara's fame continues to build:
ITV want to interview me now. This shits getting out of hand 😂
Jennifer Mulford and her boyfriend Brad Leeson have found time between their every-two-hour breastfeeding sessions to talk about their relationship and go super viral. For anyone who missed it, Jennifer Mulford and her baby, a 36-year-old adult man named Brad Leeson, have begun cultivating an Adult Breastfeeding Relationship (ABR) to establish that "magical bond that only breastfeeding can achieve."
The news of this hot new bonding activity made it down under, and Mulford and Leeson revealed some revealing stuff about how breastfeeding informs their sex lives on Australian radio show Matt & Meshel in the Morning. Mulford and Leeson called in from Atlanta (where it was not the morning).
Brad says that they need to strictly keep the strict every-two-hours time schedule, and starts puckering as soon as he gets through the door.
When asked if the breastfeeding was "sexual," Leeson said, "to an extent." And get ready for this piece of info:
"It's more of a personal bond, it's more of a commitment, more of an intimacy... two people becoming one. But what man doesn’t like a nice set of boobs in his mouth?"
Mulford jumped in to raise the stakes on the graphicness, adding that breastfeeding leads to sex "six out of seven times."
She adds, "It's a natural bond between a man and a woman... there's nothing more relaxing than having him latch on, nothing at all," but the schedule can sometimes get interrupted when sleep gets in the way. “Nights have been a struggle because Brad sleeps so peacefully but we manage to cope – until he falls asleep latched onto me, which is beautiful."
Some guy at an unknown location was either stocking up for the apocalypse or a really fun barbecue given the amount of meat he tried to get at a store. Unfortunately, he had to cancel his plans as he had no intention of actually paying for the ribs and his other selections of meats. Instead, the man was trying to smuggle them out of his pants, which were conveniently sized for maximum thievery.
Guess the third time wasn't the charm for this meat-lifter. Whoever caught him has some nice detective skills since from the video, at least, the wannabe thief seemed to do a very good job of disguising all that meat he was packing.
If this guy is that desperate for cash he should look into becoming a magician. Or maybe he is a real wizard? This is like that stupid ribbon trick but actually mind blowing.
That would explain how he fit SO MANY ribs in his pants.
In 2014, 38-year-old Paul Wilson ordered a curry from the Indian Garden restaurant in Easingwold, U.K., and specifically requested that it be nut-free, because of his dangerous allergy. Instead, the restaurant served him a takeout meal containing nut powder, and he died of anaphylactic shock, alone in his apartment, that very night. Kind of a big deal.
In May of 2016, Indian Garden owner Mohammed Zaman started a six-year jail sentence for manslaughter, but the restaurant is still open for business, under the management of his family. And if you think things are bad for Zaman, his family has a bigger problem: bad publicity. (Note: bad publicity is not actually worse than going to prison for manslaughter.)
Now, in a last-ditch effort to get back on top of the story, Zaman's son Emraz (a legal student) has sent an email out to their customers entitled "our apology." But as you can see, it doesn't exactly come off as that apologetic:
[We] sincerely apologise to all our loyal customers for the recent heavy press surrounding the Easingwold branch and the somewhat disappointing decision for our founding father Mr Zaman. Mistakes have been made and this is no excuse but now is a time to move on as Mr Zaman so wishes.
We are now in the process of launching a new dessert menu and have hired an exclusive pastry chef from London to design this. Our philosophy, started by our founder, [Mohammed] Khalique Zaman, was and still is to create real quality Indian cuisine of the highest standard.
With exhilarating flavours and subtle aromas...Jaipur Spice will transform your perception of Indian food...You'll spot the difference the moment the food arrives!!"
You read that right—he ended the email with an ad. Check out the nuts on this guy (unless you're allergic). He also didn't even apologize for killing Paul Wilson, just for the "heavy press" and "disappointing decision," referring to the judge's decision to lock his dad up for criminal negligence.
And lest you start having sympathy for the Zamans, keep this in mind—this wasn't the first time. Only two weeks before Wilson died, a 17-year-old girl had been hospitalized after her request for a nut-free meal was also ignored by Indian Garden. But she didn't die, so no one went to jail, and nothing changed. The management wouldn't even take responsibility when contacted by the girl's mother.
So if you find yourself in Easingwold anytime soon and are craving some curry, consider your options. You might have to skip the "exhilarating flavours and subtle aromas" of Indian Garden's new dessert menu, but on the plus side, you won't die.
On last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel brought together the new Ghostbusters—Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, and Kristen Wiig—with original cast members Dan Ackroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Bill Murray. A lot of fans seem to already hate the new movie for mysterious (dumb) reasons (sexism) despite the fact that all of Paul Feig's movies have just the worst f*cking trailers. (Seriously, watch old trailers and be amazed that Spyand Bridesmaidswere actually good.) But for what it's worth, Bill Murray—who, like all the major living cast members, makes a cameo in the new film—offers unreserved, gleeful praise of the movie.
One of the original Ghostbusters, Harold Ramis—who cowrote the 1984 film with Ackroyd—died in 2014. Sigorney Weaver must have been too busy for this reunion, or Jimmy Kimmel forgot that Sigorney Weaver has a really big part in the original Ghostbusters.
Sometimes, a kid gets a water toy stuck on his face and freaks out, and sometimes Reddit is there to make a fun situation hilarious with an all-out Photoshop war. The Internet can only hope this becomes the new Success Kid.
The masters of digital manipulation took to Reddit to make the boy—and his adorably terrified face—travel around the world and, to quote Buzz Lightyear, beyond. Far beyond.
And you're probably not ready to see this one, but you've made it this far, and you certainly deserve it. It's the raft kid as a condom.
You've turned what was once an innocent raft kid into a disturbing addition to a stock photo. Hope you're happy, Reddit!
Oh and one more for a bonus:
Raft Kid, you were the best of them. Long live your meme.
Lifestyle guru and felon Martha Stewart was the guest on a recent episode of Chelsea Handler's new Netflix talk show Chelsea, and the two ladies sat down behind a table full of apples to talk TV. Martha revealed that she has never watched the other popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black, and when Chelsea asked if that is because it is "too close to home," Steward said, "Well no, it’s not as good as the real thing. When you live through something like OITNB, the real characters are better." Tell us more, Martha. More!
Damn, Martha! What went on behind bars? Come on, take a break from writing countless cookbooks and give us a tell-all about your time in the slammer.
Some celebrities are still famous even though they seem to be widely loathed—your Kardashians, your Guy Fieris, your Ben Afflecks. But even if you like those stars, you can kind of understand why other people don’t like them. But for every celebrity, there's somebody out there who hates them, even if they aren’t sure why. The redditors on this list revealed which otherwise beloved celebrity they absolutely can’t stand for reasons even they don't understand.
Eddie Redmayne. I can't explain it, I just kind of want to punch him in the face for some reason.
2. This celebrity is way too busy with his five hit TV shows to care what caseyfoor thinks of him.
Fred Armisen.
Ever since that little bespectacled turd's SNL intro shot of him purposefully having the camera show that he is looking through 70s and 80s punk records then turning to smile with pursed lips and little goon eyes wide open. I don't like how much he pushes his own alternative self image on people. It seems that he's trying really hard to make everyone believe that he's really hip and cool.
That being said, I'm pretty sure that if I met him, I'd think he was a really nice guy, and I would regret ever saying this.
3. DougieJurgens pinpoints the public's complicated relationship with celebrity.
Drake. I'm also a big drake fan though so I'm very conflicted.
4. User peppersprayingfun doesn't mean the real Mark Wahlberg (the one who threatened Andy Samberg because he impersonated him, and who once nearly beat a man to death).
The fake ass Mark Wahlberg - the asshole that hosts Antiques Roadshow. That man can go right to hell. Fuck him.
5. Adeebrulz hates Nick Kroll, which means an extended hate of podcasts and most everything on cable TV.
I fucking hate Nick Kroll. It may be because every character he plays is a complete douchebag. His face just seems douchey.
6. Baseball_Catch has a remarkable knowledge of Jennifer Garner's career and life for someone who can't remember her actual name.
I'm really bad with names. It's the one girl who does the airline commercials about seats on a plane and credit card miles. I think she was married to the bad angel from Dogma. Anyway, it's something about her face and voice. I dislike both greatly.
7. Things for hmeeshy are not alright, alright, alright. Alright?
Matthew McConaughey.
I have literally no reason at all, I just don't really want to watch anything he's in.
8. It would seem young spacechurro had some bad dreams after watching Punchline.
Tom Hanks and Steven Speilberg. I dislike both irrationally but I feel like Speilberg is an especially irrational dislike because I think a lot of his movies are really great, yet whenever I hear of a new one he directed I assume it's gonna suck. I just don't like him for some reason and I can't put my finger on it.
10. This comment from SadManRoamingFree marks the first time someone hated a Quaid that wasn't Randy.
Dennis Quaid. I think it's his face.
11. This assessment from omfghost could describe pretty much any celebrity, though.
Megan Fox. I think she's really hot but she also looks kinda mean
12. Haters gonna hate hate hate. Like this mcbobgeorge character.
I really dislike Taylor Swift- her music isn't bad and she seems nice, she just gives me a bad taste in my mouth.
13. What did Savannah Guthrie ever do to you, PacSan300?
Everyone on the Today Show really, except for Al Roker.
14. This critique from usthcd kind of makes sense.
I think Nicole Kidman is a psychopath and a serial killer.
I think she and Tom Cruise were a killer couple, like Gillian Anderson and Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal, and now they're competition.
15. You can't really trust the opinion of someone whose user name is iheartnickelback.
Oprah. Fuck absolutely everything about oprah.
16. User aidantheman18's hatred isn't that unjustified, since the subject of his scorn invented Facebook.
Jesse Eisenberg makes me want to drill a hole in my head.
17. Let's all kick in and buy a bidet for Vince Vaughn and say it came from this deleted user's mother.
My mom says she doesn't like Vince Vaughn because it looks like he doesn't wipe his butt.
You don't have to be a hockey fan to enjoy this video of Jimmy Fallon making fun of professional hockey player's pictures. Wednesday's episode of the Tonight Show featured a special NHL themed "Tonight Show Superlatives" segment, which awarded fake superlatives to hockey players vying for the Stanely Cup. Because there is no better way to celebrate a huge achievement in athleticism than getting made fun of on TV.
Of course, the whole segment is in good fun. But if the athletes featured don't take it that way, watch out Jimmy, because each one is probably the size of three Jimmy Fallons taped together.
Spoilers ahead, but only if you've been watching Game of Thrones with a blindfold on.
HBO has released the names of the final two episodes of season six along with one titillating detail about the season finale. In case you didn't know already, episode eight is titled "No One," which portends an Arya-fest and stabbing across the kingdom. Episode nine is titled "The Battle of the Bastards." This will likely include the "biggest battle in the show's history" that the show creators promised would happen this season.
No surprise at that Snow-Bolton showdown, but still, finally. Will Jon survive? Will Rickon? Will anyone serve Ramsay his own penis on a plate?
Episode 10, the glorious season six finale, is titled "The Winds of Winter." That's also the name of the (hopefully, one day) forthcoming sixth book in George R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire. Maybe the whole episode will just be the book, scrolling Star Wars-style up the screen.
They'll have time for that kind of stunt, because the finale will last 69 minutes. NINE EXTRA MINUTES. Sure, that might seem like nothing, but the first episode of season six only lasted 50 minutes. That left 10 extra minutes for fans to write furious letters to George R.R. Martin to finish his gods-damned books.
This final episode will be the longest in Game of Thrones history. Hopefully Martin isn't watching. Again, this cannot be stressed enough, he needs to work on those books.
After game three of the NBA finals in Cleveland Wednesday night, Justin Bieber threw a punch to show he's not a "Baby," a plan that immediately backfired. Biebs picked a fight with someone bigger than him (as most people are), immediately getting retaliation from the man who's roughly the size of three Biebers in a trench coat.
TMZ speculates that the fight broke out during post-game trash talk outside the arena, with Bieber hopefully defending the honor of the Toronto Raptors (the closest team to his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, even though they were eliminated last round) against some Clevelanders.
Or to project more drama onto the brawl, imagine that he's defending the honor of Selena Gomez.
Melanie Darnell is part of that new breed of viral mothers known as "fit moms." Darnell qualifies as a member of this controversial club because she's a mom, she posts of a lot of Pilates-type things on Instagram, and it looks like she knows what she's doing.
A photo posted by Melanie Darnell (@fitmomma4two) on
But People is reporting that Darnell recently came under scrutiny for arguably going too far in her one of her at-home workout routines. No barbells and pregnant bellies were involved, but a real live baby named Olive was. Olive was hanging out in her older brother Sage's crib when her mom climbed on top of the structure and did some exercises.
A video posted by Melanie Darnell (@fitmomma4two) on
While Olive didn't seem particularly bothered, the Internet has their panties in a bunch.
Darnell stepped in with her strong arms.
She talked to People about all the hate. "I would never encourage someone to perform an exercise outside of her comfort zone," she said. "We need to listen to our bodies. We know our capabilities better than anyone else."
A video posted by Melanie Darnell (@fitmomma4two) on
"Being a mom is hard work, and no one understands that better than other moms," Darnell added. "We need to support each other." She meant emotionally, not like, let's get together and do handstands off each other.
For some people, sex is a very intimate and special bond. And then for a lot of people on Reddit, it's something you do to help out a friend—that was one of the many, diverse reasons that people shared as the tipping point for why they decided to have sex (always with a willing partner) in response to the question, "What's the worst reason you had sex with someone?" From the many given explanations, here are the 19 best thought processes that make a lot of sense when you think about what's at stake (sex, good TV, etc).
