The speech was on the TPP deal, but why the wall of compressed garbage was there remains unclear. There's almost nothing else for us to say, because it's just so perfect. So, without further ado, here are 17 hot garbage takes on Trump's puzzling decision for a backdrop!

Meet your new favorite person, the 12-year-old who plays Lyanna Mormont, Bella Ramsey.

Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 6 below, of course.

HBO's official Game of Thronesblog wisely decided to interview everyone's favorite season six breakout star, the 12-year-old actress who plays Lady Lyanna Mormont.

She's known by her family, friends, and vassals as Bella Ramsey, and she apparently wasn't allowed to watch Game of Thronesbefore she got the part.

HBO: Had you seen the show before filming your scenes?

Bella Ramsey: When I knew I got the part, I was allowed to watch a few suitable snippets. I was interested to see the bit in Season 5 when Stannis [Baratheon] received Lyanna's letter.

Wow. It's a violent, brutal show—and she's 12—so it makes sense. But hopefully she gets a courtesy HBO password now, at the very least to watch, um, Vinyl? Actually, is there any show on HBO that's appropriate for a child?

The letter Lyanna's character sends Stannis before she ever appears on screen.

At one point in the interview, she's asked about her character's namesake. If it wasn't actually an HBO rep asking the questions, you might think they were trying to elicit a spoiler. Lyanna Stark is widely believed to be Jon Snow's mother, a long-held theory that was almost certainly confirmed in the latest season finale.

HBO: Did they tell you about the character you are named after?

Bella Ramsey: Not really. I knew that Lyanna was named after her, but that's all I needed to know, I think. Lyanna Mormont is very much her own person.

Bella was *this* close to blurting out: "HELL YEAH, HER PLUS RHAEGAR EQUALS JON SNOW, CONFIRMED." But she kept her cool.

Ramsey also shares her approach to acting, and how the show's affected her life. Although it's a brief interview and her responses are never more than a few sentences, it's interesting nevertheless to hear a 12-year-old's take on being at the center of a culture phenomenon:

It took me a while to realize it. I actually woke up one morning and the first thing I thought was, “Wow, I really am integral to the storyline.”

Yes, you are. May your childhood stardom never affect your adult sanity. All hail Lyanna Mormont.

#GrowingUpWithMyName is a hashtag that anyone with a weird name will deeply relate to.

With every passing year, it seems that more and more kids are born with weirder and weirder names. Bizarre names are no longer reserved for celebrity offspring, and now non-famous children also get the privilege of being bullied for having strange monikers as well. Though giving your kid a name so unique that no one knows how to pronounce it is a lovely way for them to stand out, it also makes mundane things like taking attendance and ordering a drink at Starbucks extremely difficult. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

People have taken to Twitter to share their experiences along with the hashtag #GrowingUpWithMyName.

And then there are people who were given names that might seem familiar to you:

But really, even people who have easy-to-pronounce names are not off the hook from ridicule:

But wait a minute, what is the problem isn't your weird names, but the idiots who choose to make fun of your weird name?

Mind blowing.

[Writer's note: I am not born in April, I don't have sisters named May and June, and yes, I do take showers. No, they don't bring May flowers.]

Woman knows exactly how to handle a nosy coworker asking when she'll have a baby.

A redditor calling herself LaLaLaaaNotListening demonstrated the proper response to a question all twentysomethings hate: "When are you having kids?" When a coworker cornered her with the invasive question, rather than give a noncommittal answer or get angry, she decided to turn the question back around. What followed was a dialogue worthy of philosophers like Socrates and Louis C.K.

I'm short on time and at work so I'll just post the basic conversation. Mombie is a coworker.

Mombie: "When are you planning to have a baby?"

Me: "Why?"

Mombie: "I was just curious."

Me: "But why?"

Mombie: "Well you're young and getting married soon (I'm engaged.) I'd figure you were going to have kids soon."

Me: "Why?"

Mombie: "...because that's what married people do?"

Me: "Why though?"

Mombie: "You know it's rude to continually ask 'why.' It gets pretty annoying."

Me: "Oh but your kids do it all the time and you tell me how cute it is."

Mombie: "Well yeah but they're kids so it's ok."

Me: "...but why?"

She walked away. I win.

Here's a liquid that pulls itself out of containers because physics is just a suggestion.

Polyethylene oxide is the green or blue stuff on that little glide strip on your disposable razor—you know, the stuff that makes your face/legs/whatever all slidey but runs out way too quickly? Well, the reason it runs out so quickly is also the reason it's so slippery—the long molecules that make up polyethylene oxide get all tangled on the micro-scale. So when a little bit gets on your face, it brings the rest of it off the strip. The same thing happens with way more mind-bending results when you start to pour the stuff out of a container: the goopy slime grabs the molecules behind it and sucks the rest of the goo right out of the jar against the laws of gravity.

GOOOOOOO.

J.K. Rowling revealed a lot more information about the American Hogwarts, and you literally can't die until you learn everything about it.

Guess what, guys! As you know, J.K. Rowling put an evil curse on 90s kids that keeps them from being able to die until they learn all of the inane bullshit from her Harry Potter universe. J.K. Rowling just revealed some exciting new information about the American Hogwarts, the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! There's a new short story and even a sorting quiz for Ilvermorny's four houses. Maybe now you can slip into the sweet release of death.

The school gets a charming origin story about a plucky young witch who escapes from her evil aunt to found the Massachusetts school with her muggle husband. The new story is so delightful and rich, you might be disappointed that Rowling didn't expand the thing into a whole book even though that would likely prolong your painful existence reading young adult novels as an old adult even longer.

A screenshot from the Ilvermorny sorting quiz, and also a representation of the two questions you ask yourself every single day.

You can also take a sorting quiz for Ilvermorny's four whimsically named houses: Horned Serpent, Wampus, Pukwudgie, and Thunderbird. Now you know you're a Gryffindor and a Thunderbird and you're never, ever, ever going to die, even after the eventual heat death of the universe, God help us all.

'The Blind Film Critic' Tommy Edison explained to a rapt internet what happens when blind people take psychedelics.

Tommy Edison, "The Blind Film Critic," is a viral sensation. On his YouTube channel, he'll answer any question his fans ask him about being blind, no matter how personal. Luckily, his lovable sense of humor always removes any awkwardness around the topic. Recently, curious druggies asked him what he would experience if he took psychedelic drugs. Could he see visual hallucinations, even though he's been blind since birth? Being a clean-cut and upstanding man, Edison has (supposedly) never tripped before, but his answer is still fascinating.

If you're worried you'll never get a full answer to this question, worry no more. Although Edison hasn't used hallucinogens before, other blind people aren't so puritanical. A redditor called MethoxetamineLover had the opportunity to ask a totally blind hippie about it, and his answer is pretty crazy. So crazy, in fact, that reading it might make you feel like you just ate a handful of shrooms. In response to the question"What do blind people 'see' when they take drugs like shrooms or acid?" MethoxetamineLover wrote:

OP, I have a serious answer! Might stay buried, but whatever. I worked at a certain type of hospital (Don't want to be too specific) and got to hang out with a completely blind patient for 12 hours straight.

He was a really cool dude, an old hippie. He lost one eye to a congenital defect and then later on lost the other to a blunt trauma. Sensing that he was "chill" over the course of our conversations about music and such, I asked him if he used to smoke weed, and subsequently psychedelics. He said he ate mushrooms and acid frequently before he lost his sight, and still eats it occasionally since he lost it. I asked him what the trips are like now.

He described it as mainly being an auditory and mind fuck kind of trip. "Visually" he said he could feel the usual hallucinations, but not actually see them. I interpreted it as perhaps feeling like you're looking at a fractal, and sensing the movement of it in your mind, but not registering it visually.

Edit: Yes, blunt trauma, folks.

There you have it! Then again, the man in that story wasn't born blind, and had used psychedelics before he lost his sight. Maybe someone should start a GoFundMe to buy Tommy Edison some peyote. Then we'll get to the bottom of this.

Mountain runner rescues baby lamb; wins affection of the internet.

If you want to impress people on the Internet (or start a religion in ancient Mesopotamia), you should try being known as someone who protects lambs. That's just what professional trail runner Ricky Lightfoot did a few weeks back when he was on Great Gable, a mountain in England. As Lightfoot put it, "...just as I summited, I could hear a noise through the wind, it sounded like something was in distress so I went to have a look." What he found was a baby lamb caught on the mountainside, which he helped climb back to safety:

After that, he removed his shoe in front of the lamb, which is presumably part of the traditional I Just Saved a Lamb ritual:

"Hey, lamb, check out this sock."

And if you're all like "That doesn't mean he saved the lamb! Where is the lamb's family!?" that just means you didn't watch to the end, because the video shows the lamb being reunited with some sheep. Although, to be fair, they could be any sheep, and not this lamb's actual family:

"Please don't leave me with these strangers."

Heartwarming.


Texas woman wakes up from overbite surgery with a bloody weird accent.

Six months ago, Lisa Alamia underwent jaw surgery, which resulted in nerve damage that led to a condition known as foreign accent syndrome. That disease is exactly what it sounds like: people instantly have a foreign accent following nerve damage or head trauma. Alamia, who lives in Texas and was raised there, woke up with a British accent. She's never even been to England; in fact, she has only left the United States once for a mission trip to Mexico.

Fewer than 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with foreign accent syndrome over the last century, and Alamia's neurologist still isn't sure what caused her accent to emerge. The best part is that even her three kids thought she was faking it at first:

Her accent has everyone gobsmacked, and she insists that she isn't off her trolley.

Homeless shelter releases list of weirdest items that have been donated to them.

0
0

The homeless aid organization Shelter Scotland receives mountains of donations every year, and from time to time, whoever's sorting through those donation inevitably winds up finding things like a used dominatrix set or a bag of teeth. It has been said that one man's trash is another man's treasure, but sometimes one man's trash is a bag of doll heads with the eye lids glued shut.

Alison Watson, deputy director of Shelter Scotland, decided to share her list of the most bizarre donations they've received on the shelter's blog.

Our supporters have donated some wonderful items over the years that have raised funds for our vital work. There are times however when we open the donations sacks and are left flabbergasted by what we find. My personal favourite was the china doll as it had obviously been someone's treasured possession before it was donated to us, as was the mummified cat.

Notice she said "mummified," not taxidermied (not that anyone would want either). And the china doll she mentions? It had a lock of hair taped on it. Not on its head, but under its clothes. We may never know why.

Here is her list of the other truly appalling things the shelter has received at its over 30 locations:

  • A pair of freshly honed Samurai Swords donated to the charity's shop in Paisley. The shop manager phoned the police who collected the items as part of a knife amnesty.
  • A box of loose teeth with the roots still attached was donated in Glasgow.
  • A caravan was donated to the charity's Dundee shop. (Not sure what this means or how a moving group of vehicles is a thing that can be donated. If you know please explain in the comments)
  • A full bag of dirty underwear– around 30 pairs - was donated in Glasgow.
  • A full dominatrix set– with 'only one previous owner' was donated to a shop in Glasgow.
  • A china doll with a lock of human hair glued under its clothes was donated in Edinburgh.
  • A bag of dozens of severed doll's heads with all of the eye lids glued shut or painted black were donated in Glasgow.
  • A tailcoat with a ticket to the original 1973 production of Rocky Horror pinned to the inside was donated in Edinburgh.
  • 40 bright blue life-sized plastic pigeons were donated in Edinburgh.

It should go without saying that no one besides a few Japanese businessmen want your dirty underwear, but apparently, Watson still has to say it. (Plus, those guys will pay for your dirty undies. Why are you donating it?)

Despite listing all the nasty crap hoarders wrongly believe have value, Watson wanted to reiterate that they are very appreciative of their donations.

"We welcome all donations – within reason - and some of the more interesting items are certainly conversation starters with our customers. We're sometimes pleasantly surprised by what some people actually buy.

Whatever the donation, every penny we raise through our shops goes towards our fight to end homelessness and ensure that everyone in Scotland has a safe, secure and affordable place to call home."

It's a beautiful thought, but only if you try not to think about how some of those homes are full of boxes of rotten teeth.

Sorry your day sucked. Here’s a guy hand-feeding a rescued baby toucan.

Coyote Peterson, the Discovery Channel star who may or may not have been born with that name, is an animal expert. This rescued baby toucan is an animal. Put them together and you have some truly expert adorability. Plus, the l'il toucan eats Froot Loops! Well, Froot Chunks. Ok, fine: chunks of actual fruit.

And yes, if you look closely at his hands, you can still see the scars from the fire ant attack.

These deleted scenes would have helped 9 confusing Hollywood movies make much more sense.

If you've seen any major Hollywood blockbusters over the past 30 years, you've probably gotten good at ignoring glaring plot holes. But apparently some of those movies would have been a lot less hole-y if they had included some of these scenes that were cut out in the editing process. Get ready for movies like The Lion King, Blade Runner, and X-Men to make a lot more sense:

The YouTube comments point to even more scenes that were idiotically left out of the theatrical release of movies—most notably, the big deal death scene of Saruman​ in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. But The Return of the King won the f*cking Best Picture Oscar, so maybe no one cares about plot holes.

Vacuum + harmonica = involuntary smiles.

Vanessa Hudgens pissed people off by wearing a dreamcatcher on her head.

High School Musical star/that person your niece follows on Instagram, Vanessa Hudgens, is under fire for cultural appropriation again. In the past, she's been slammed for wearing what many saw as inappropriate face paint and bindis. But this time, her Instagram comments section is even messier, because people are upset that she's wearing a dream catcher as a fashion accessory—and Hudgens is part Native American. It all started when she posted pictures on Monday of a dream catcher in her hair.

Chin up, Princess... Or the crown slips 👑 #monday @riawnacapri @beautycoach_com

A photo posted by Vanessa Hudgens (@vanessahudgens) on

Some commenters accused Hudgens of cultural appropriation, although it's unclear whether they knew about her Native American heritage at the time.

No Monday blues here 💙

Many Native Americans commented on the post saying that they're not offended by her choice:

The consensus in the comments section (which admittedly isn't always the best place to get a consensus) seems to be that Vanessa Hudgens has definitely been guilty of cultural appropriation, just maybe not this time. And one commenter made this point: "I just hope if she buys native stuff she buys it directly from native peoples! This way she can appreciate and not appropriate."

Someone made a guide so you can take photos of fireworks that won't embarrass America.

Fireworks: they're literally part of our national anthem (technically it's "bombs," but that's hard on a town budget), but they're damn difficult to photograph. Everything's dark one second and bright the next, and it's all moving. All you end up with is blurry nonsense and regret that you didn't just watch the fireworks.

Well, the folks at Epic Presence in Chicago put together this handy guide for taking fireworks pictures that really don't suck. Not only will your pictures be clear, but they also teach you an easy trick for capturing multiple explosions in one exposure. Everyone will ask you to email them pictures because you'll be straight-up Ansel Adamsing this July 4th, and you'll probably get laid, too. Or just take better pictures.

Bored meetings.

Chelsea Handler fires back at trolls who didn't like her abortion essay.

0
0

Chelsea Handler published a personal essay in Playboy that's proven controversial, and not just because it was an essay in Playboy. She opened up about having two abortions at the age of 16, and how having the right to make that choice helped get her life on track. Because it was an essay on abortion—not to mention simply a woman speaking her mind in public—she had to defend herself against trolls on Twitter.

"Getting unintentionally pregnant more than once is irresponsible, but it’s still necessary to make a thoughtful decision," she wrote in her essay, "We all make mistakes all the time. I happened to fuck up twice at the age of 16. I’m grateful that I came to my senses and was able to get an abortion legally without risking my health or bankrupting myself or my family."

It's the most powerful political discourse in Playboy yet. And the haters' comments were graphic and gross, roping in more women on Twitter as well.

The conversation got interesting.

And it was nice to see that some of her fans had her back.

Hopefully, Chelsea Handler's not done with this whole "honesty" thing yet.

Bride-to-be has perfect reaction to her wig falling off mid-engagement-shoot.

Bride-to-be Jessica Chinyelu Ezeanya wanted to announce her engagement to fiancé Hilary Aniboweiwith an elegant engagement photoshoot, but things went awry when an over-aggressive twirl sent her wig flying off her head.

Weddings are stressful and brides work really hard to make sure that everything is perfect, but sometimes when something goes wrong, it makes the best memories. Luckily, when things went wrong this time, a photographer was there to capture it. Jessica uploaded the pictures onto her Instagram and captioned it with this:

Just remembering when we took our engagement pics with@rhphotoarts. It was such a fun time especially when my wig fell off trying to capture the perfect shot. We laughed and my boo just picked up my wig like nothing ever happened and we kept it moving! Can't wait to say I do to this man!

More than a well secured wig, laughter is definitely something that helps to make long and happy marriage. Even though some women may burst into tears after a mishap like this, this couple burst into laughter. Maybe they can even work "Wig or de-wigged" into their vows.

And just for the record, the rest of their photos came out stunning. Here is one with her wig actually cooperating with her.

And there was even a wig change! Yes!!

This one stayed put.

Hopefully they work out that dance move to make sure no wigs fly off on the couple's big day.
