Meghan Trainor wants you to know she's not going to vote.

Oh boy. Pop star Meghan Trainor recently stated in an interview with Billboard that she has never voted and has no plans to vote in the 2016 election. The singer is best known for her 2014 single and music video for "All About That Bass." The song was a rallying cry for curvy girls and really, really catchy. And now she's known for having zero desire to rock the vote.

Trainor striking a "not-voting" pose.

When asked about the upcoming election, Trainor made her feelings quite clear:

I should be way more aware, and if it was [Clinton] or Trump, I'd definitely vote for her. But I've never voted and I don't have any desire to.

Technically, 2012 would have been her first chance to vote at the age of 19. So she's only sat out one election. But as a young celebrity, she feels no need to take a stance on something she doesn't care about.

She was very straightforward in her interview with Billboard about what she devotes time to and what she avoids. She's not much for yoga or meditation, but loves ping pong and is all about the older men just like she's all about the bass:

I tried to have a fling with a 29-year-old, and I thought that was old. And it wasn't. It was very much like a little boy in the brain. So I'm looking [at] 35 and up.

She can do and say as she pleases, because it's a free country. That also means she doesn't have to vote.

If you are one of the many bra-wearing individuals who inhabit the earth, you probably never thought twice while sticking your boobies into your over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. It turns out that the bra actually has a pretty interesting history, though, as explained in this short video by Ted-Ed.

A free bra with every purchase of a dress? Can we bring that back, please? A bra nowadays can cost just as much as a dress. Thanks a lot, Maidenform!

Angsty teenager Calvin Harris uses meme to block out his haters post-Taylor Swift rant.

After Calvin Harris' now infamous Twitter rampage against Taylor Swift a couple days ago (and the subsequent #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty social media storm), it's pretty clear that the two aren't exactly handling their breakup like mature adults. Instead, we're being treated to some quality, teen movie-level drama, which if I'm being honest, is way more fun to watch than seeing them be mature about it.

Watching this Calvin/Taylor drama unfold.

Imagine my glee when yesterday, Calvin Harris, like the angsty, heartbroken sixteen year-old he is inside, tweeted out this photo with only the caption, "Really me."

He's using memes! A meme inspired by a teenage Vine star, no less! It's only a matter of time before Calvin is sneaking Bud Lights out of the fridge and lashing out at his mom when she asks how his day was.

Calvin has since deleted the tweet, but luckily, nothing is ever really gone on the Internet. If anyone was thinking of writing either a screenplay for a summer teen movie or a YA novel based on these events entitled Blocking Out The Haters, just know that I'm here for it.

Godless liberals and a few conservatives come together on Twitter to mock Newt Gingrich's Muslim ban.

As news about the terror attack in Nice, France, reached Fox News, Newt Gingrich reacted on air with Sean Hannity. His comments—"let me be as blunt and as direct as I can be"— quickly enflamed the internet, as a bipartisan contingent of thoughtful writers and ruthless comedians alike took umbrage at Gingrich's proposals:

Western civilization is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door. But we need to be fairly relentless about defining who are enemies are.

We've noted who's who with each tweet, in case it wasn't glaringly obvious.

1. Contributor to conservative site The Federalist.

2. Editor of The Weekly Standard and once-prominent Jon Stewart foe.

3. Fox News contributor in opposition to Trump "because I'm a conservative."

A baby boy went missing on Thursday night in the midst of the terror attack in Nice, France, and his family used Facebook to help find him.

Friends of the infant's mom circulated a picture to help strangers identify him.

Attack in Nice ! We are safe, My family, and many friends decided to stay home instead of going to see the fireworks as...

Posted by Rebecca Boulanger on Thursday, July 14, 2016

"VERY IMPORTANT: in the rush of things with shots being fired some friends of our friends lost their baby boy !!!" Rebecca Boulanger wrote, along with a picture.

"If you see this child: CONTACT ME," Yohlaine Ramasitera, another friend of the mother's, posted.

Thankfully, after the picture was circulated, the friends heard from a stranger who was watching the boy.

Info on Baby : Just spoke with our friend Yohlaine Ramasitera : A lady brought the baby boy to safety, they are on...

Posted by Rebecca Boulanger on Thursday, July 14, 2016

Rebecca Boulanger, a friend of the mother's and a pastor in Nice, told The Huffington Post that the woman who took the boy to safety saw the Facebook post and contacted the friends. She received the news that the boy was home two hours later.

":::: EDIT ::: Baby Boy is well !!! He is back with his family !! :::::
Thank you Lord !! with such a horrible night it is such a miracle that through all the sharing on Facebook he was found !" she wrote.

The pastor called the reunion a "miracle" and praised social media for helping the boy come home.

“Social media has been used for a lot of bad things as well,” she said, “but I really believe that technology can be good and used to share hope and to encourage people during this very traumatic time.”

Kim Kardashian is prepping a takedown of Taylor Swift. Bye, Tay.

A Keeping Up With The Kardashian promo for this Sunday's episode shows Kim Kardashian talking about an adversary who is probably Taylor Swift. In other words, RIP Taylor Swift.

The promo shows Kardashian discussing her GQ interview—an interview in which she alleged that Swift knew the content of the Kanye West song "Famous" and approved it, only to later denounce the song as misogynistic for lyrics like "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous." Kardashian said in the interview that she had taped proof of the conversation with West and Swift.

E!, the network that airs Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has released two clips from Sunday's episode that deal with Kardashian's criticism of Swift. In the first, she accuses Swift of "play[ing] the victim:"

Kardashian also rehashes the Swift controversy with Scott Disick and Kris Jenner:

Taylor Swift's social media accounts have been notably quiet in recent days, even after her ex Calvin Harris blasted her on Twitter earlier this week. Presumably, she's off recovering in a burn unit.

Earlier this week, Dr. Pimple Popper blew up YouTube (as she has done so many times before) with part 1 of a video depicting an acne patient whose face was basically a smorgasbord of whiteheads. Now, as promised, she has presented part 2, and it's a must for any popaholic's collection of disgusting dermatology videos.

Dr. Lee has truly outdone herself this time. The satisfaction this patient must feel at having her comedones extracted pales in comparison to the satisfaction you'll feel while watching it. But here at Someecards, no one will judge you. Just draw the shades, dim the lights, and strap in.

13 movies where ghosts busted humans.

$

Happy Ghostbusters Day, everybody! Today is the day the new "all-female" reboot is released in the U.S., retroactively ruining so, so many men's childhoods. In a little switcheroo, and in honor of the ghosts (of the men's childhoods, lol), how about some movies where the ghosts get a chance to do their fair share of human-busting?

When this piece was suggested, I was initially unsure just what "busting" meant—like, busting their chops? Their balls? Are the ghosts cops? No, this is just busting in the same way that the humans (or women, in the case of the new one [that was a joke, I KNOW THAT WOMEN ARE HUMANS]) bust the ghosts in Ghostbusters. There are no proton packs or little toaster-sized homes here, but these are times when people in movies get screwed with by ghosts anywhere from "a little" to "goodbye forever."

So after a great deal of thought and scientific research (lol, YouTube), here are 13 times (in no particular order) that ghosts in movies got to bust humans. Some of the descriptions contain "spoilers," so, you know, be aware—but these movies are also YEARS old so if you're going to see them, get on it already.

1. Shutter (2004)

In this horror movie from Thailand, photographer Tun (Ananda Everingham) starts noticing weird images in the pictures he develops after he and his girlfriend Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee) accidentally hit and kill a woman while driving. Jane thinks the photos show the ghost of the girl they killed, and is convinced that Tun is haunted after he sees a doctor and is told that he's now twice as heavy as he used to be. And then the ghost begins showing up in more than just the pictures.

2.​ Poltergeist (1982)

One of the most famous ghost movies, Poltergeist, features ghosts doing a whole array of bad things to humans, including actually stealing a small one (Carol Anne Freeling, as portrayed by Heather O'Rourke [RIP]) altogether. In this rather uncomfortable scene, a ghost tries to have his way with Carol Anne's mother, Diane (JoBeth Williams). Come on, ghost, no means no!

3. The Frighteners (1996)

The Frighteners is a horror movie about Jake Busey's teeth. Kidding! It's a movie directed by Peter Jackson (of Lord of the Rings fame), about Frank Bannister (Michael J. "Alex P. Keaton" Fox), a man who manages to eke a meager living as an "exorcist" due to his ability to see and interact with ghosts.

In this scene, Bannister is knocked around by the ghost of Sergeant Hiles, played by R. Lee Ermey, who actually was in the U.S. Marine Corps for 11 years and who also played the terrifying Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket, which is a much scarier and less funny movie than this one.

Quick aside: The Frighteners was also haunted by Michael J. Fox not being able to remember there was no one named "Doc" in this movie.

4. Paranormal Activity (2007)

Whatever is messing with Katie (Katie Featherston) in Paranormal Activity is later determined to most likely be a demon, and not technically a ghost, since it's not house-specific but instead follows its victims to wherever they live. So does it count as a ghost? Maybe not, BUT: A. This woman gets busted pretty bad by whatever it is, and B. It's always fun to include Paranormal Activity clips in lists of horror movies to boil the blood of film editors who hate it because it's an entire franchise based on cheap, gimmicky camera work. Whatever, it's still good.

5. Dark Water (2002)

If J-horror movies are to be believed, Japan is chock full of ghosts. They are typically young and very pale (sometimes even straight up black and white). They have poor hygiene when it comes to their hair and they tend to frequent elevators. In Japan, every elevator is apparently assigned one small child ghost resident immediately after being installed—it's a point of national pride. In Dark Water (which was remade in America in 2005 starring Jennifer Connelly), the ghost of a little girl named Mitsuko (Mirei Oguchi) takes a woman named Yoshimi (Hitomi Kuroki) as her "new mother" after Yoshimi and her daughter, Ikuko (Rio Kanno) move into the ramshackle, leaky building where Mitsuko died (and had remained undiscovered) after falling into the water tank on the roof.

6. What Lies Beneath (2000)

What Lies Beneath is virtually ghost-violence-free until the end when the ghost of Norman Spencer's (Harrison Ford) younger mistress rises up from the water where he drowned her to prevent him from escaping after his wife, in a desperate bid for her own life, drives their car into the river. That may sound confusing, but it all makes sense if you see the movie, which, if you haven't, you should, because it's really good. Bonus: handsome Harrison Ford as the handsome bad guy who handsomely gets what's coming to him.

7. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Freddie Krueger's technically a ghost, right?. Think about it: he was a real guy, people killed him, and then he came back and haunted their kids' dreams. Hence, he's a ghost. In this scene from the first and best Elm Street (which coincidentally came out the same year as the original Ghostbusters), main character Nancy Thompson's boyfriend Glen Lantz (Johnny Depp) gets sucked into a bed and then spewed back out onto the ceiling in liquid form. Also, look at Johnny Depp there. So young. Just a fetus, really.

8. Beetlejuice (1988)

Does this count as busting? Sure it does. These poor humans are at the mercy of vicious ghosts who are forcing them to do a silly dance to "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" by Harry Belafonte. (RIP Glenn Shadix.)

9. Ghost (1990)

No list about vengeful ghosts would be complete without this classic scene from the actual movie Ghost, in which the ghost of newly dead Sam Wheat (Patrick Swayze) beats up his sleazy former friend Carl Bruner (Tony Goldwyn) and then those creepy shadow things come and drag him to hell. See? That's what you get when you mess with Swayze (RIP).

10. The Shining (1980)

In this scene from The Shining, the ghost of Mrs. Massey, a heartbroken woman who had killed herself years earlier in the bathtub of the Overlook Inn's room 237, presents herself in the form a naked young hottie in order to seduce and then kill hotel caretaker Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson), because apparently that's a thing ghosts can sometimes do (tricky em-effers). She doesn't get him, but that doesn't make it any less scary.

11. Ringu (1998)

Ringu (remade as The Ring in 2002), based on a Japanese folk tale, tells the story of a young girl named Sadako Yamamura (Kabuki Theater actress Rie Inō) who died after being thrown down a well. She gets vengeance on humanity by scaring to death (translation: heart attack) anyone who doesn't make a copy of a strange VHS tape within seven days of seeing it.

The filmmakers achieved Sadako's creepy style of walking by first filming her walking backwards in an exaggerated, jerky-limbed style, and then reversing the tape. The effect is pretty yikes.

12. Ghost Story (1981)

These creatures looks a lot more like corpses than ghosts, but the title of the movie is Ghost Story, so sure. Anyway, a ghost in this movie scares a man so much that he stumbles backwards, naked, out of a high-rise window. That's pretty frightened. You don't just accidentally crash backwards through a window from being a regular amount scared, by, say, a house centipede, even though those things are pretty gross.

13. Witchboard (1986)

Last but not least is this gem of a horror movie featuring a Ouija board, a haunted knife, and the frighteningly bad acting of Tawny "Car Hood" Kitaen. That's all you really need to know to convince you to watch it. Right? Right.

True Pokémon masters brave the elements to claim Pokémon gym in the ocean.

Pokémon Go has gyms located in the weirdest places, but the truest Pokémon masters will go to great lengths to claim them anyway. This is definitely the case of Pokémon devotees/friends Kelsey Thomson and Lizzy Eden​, who noticed a gym out in the middle of the ocean, but didn't let a little bit of water stop them from catching 'em all. Eden decided to chronicle the adventure on her Twitter, and it has since gone viral.

It all started when the girls noticed that the gym on their app was actually out in the middle of Wellington Harbour, off the coast of New Zealand.

Then they noticed that there were already two people out on a kayak staring at their phones, a clear indication that they were battling at the gym already.

Not to be outdone, Thomson and Eden rented a kayak of their own to go battle themselves and win the gym for team blue (the gym was in the possession of team yellow at the time).

Now Mashable is reporting that the gym is back in the possession of team yellow (Eden notes that the people who own the gym have their own boat, which is totally an unfair advantage). Hey, at least Pokémon Go is getting people to stare at their phones outside.

Did you hear? Donald Trump announced Indiana Governor, Mike Pence, as his running mate. But, as of this reporting, if you went to Trump's website or social media channels, you'd have a hard time figuring that out.

Politico reporter Shane Goldmacher noticed quite a few missing pieces of information in Trump's announcement—an announcement that is usually one of the largest and most important for any Presidential campaign.

Good job Shane! We're sure Trump was just very busy watching his Pokémon Go-inspired attack video on Hillary Clinton over and over and over again.

Comedian Celeste Barber is back to show you how celebs' glamorous Instagrams would look with a normal mom in them.

Celeste Barber, an actor and writer from Australia, is putting her own special twist on the mommy pictures that celebrities post on Instagram. She puts a picture of a celebrity mother doing something right next to a picture she's taken of herself doing (basically) the same thing, only hers are slightly more relatable.

She's got two sons under the age of six, as well as two teenage stepdaughters, so she's pretty familiar with what it's like to be a mom in the "real world."

Barber's not doing this to make fun of anyone other than herself, really. She's just having fun and looking for some laughs. She told the Huffington Post: "I just wanted to make people laugh. I like to make fun of myself."

She's got a million followers on Instagram, and if there's anything she wants them (especially parents) to know, it's that"being normal is awesome."

She continued: "It can be pretty hard to just get through a day sometimes. I hope mums get a laugh out of my stuff while doing the washing, cooking dinner, helping with homework, satisfying partners and necking a cleanskin" (which is Australian for "drinking cheap wine straight from the bottle").

Barber's gotten attention for her hilarious Instagrams before—in both January and April of this year, her pictures aping celebs went viral.

Celeste, you are a gem. Please don't ever change.

Kim Kardashian celebrated National Nude Day by getting as close to nude in public as is legal.

Kim Kardashian was probably not celebrating National Nude Day when she sat down in a fishnet dress with nothing under it but a nude bra and black lingerie, but she's the holiday's unofficial mascot nonetheless, thanks to these Snapchat videos she posted.

The "holiday" was on Thursday July 15, and it meant you could get completely naked, anywhere in the country, without fear of legal consequences*. Oh, you're a creepy dude and you missed it? Well, try again next year! Get naked on the train! And remember, Someecards does. Not. Take. Responsibility. For. Your. Jail. Sentence.

*That's a joke. Getting naked in public is not allowed.

According to People (the magazine, not just some random dudes), Kimoji was attending "the launch of OUE SkySpace" in L.A., which sounds like a rocket ship full of Keeping Up with the Kardashians DVDs she's sending to aliens.

Interestingly, Kardashian was rocking along to her husband Kanye West's song "Famous" in the first of the two Snaps above, a song that's become something of a controversy beacon thanks to its reference to Taylor Swift. A promo for Kardashians even implies Kardashian will bring it up again on an upcoming episode. Taylor Swift, as West notes in the song, is someone with whom he "might still have sex."

Earlier this year, Kardashian weighed in on the lyrics by accusing Swift overreacting. For her part, she doesn't mind West talking about "bitches" in his songs. She makes good on that nonchalance here, bopping along to the maybe-awkward-for-your-wife lyric, "For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West."

Long live the incredible, unapologetic confidence of Kim Kardashian. Unlike icons like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé, no controversy can destroy her. For she was born in controversy, forged in its fires, and every few weeks reborn in it anew like the phoenix.

Watch out, T-Swift. More importantly, watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim K.'s looking to make you famous.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is the actor best known for playing The Mountain on Game of Thrones. And after being brought back to life by former maester and current mad scientist Qyburn, he's been looking pretty gross under that helmet. It seems like the only one that knows what he looks like under there other than Qyburn is Septa Unella, and it doesn't look like she lived to tell anyone about it. But thankfully for you, Björnsson tweeted a picture of his face. First, here he is with the helmet on:

Staring contest. Ready, GO.

And here's what it looks like when 400 bulging pounds of zombie in a 200-pound human suit exposes his face:

Body-shaming Playboy model gets banned from her gym and her job.

On Thursday, Playboy Playmate Dani Mather posted a Snapchat of herself looking completely aghast while a naked woman behind her showered at the gym. And in case her disdain towards the awfulness of a regular woman's naked body wasn't apparent in the horrified look on her face, she included the words "If I can't unsee this, then you can't either." Mather, who was Playboy's 2015 Playmate of the Year, deleted the Snap after getting a ton of backlash for her arrogance and body-shaming, but, you know, too little, too late. She even had the audacity to claim she didn't mean to post it, but she just didn't understand how Snapchat worked. Uh-huh. As if anyone was buying that.

THE HORROR! A non-Playboy playmate woman dared get naked in the shower at the gym.

Well, the backlash just keeps on coming, because on Friday, Mather learned that she lost both her job and her gym membership. She'd had a regular spot for the past few years on Los Angeles' KLOS radio show "Heidi and Frank," but that's gone now. And as for her gym, LA Fitness told TMZ​Mather is not welcome at any one of their locations, anywhere, ever again. They also said that they'd notified police about the invasive picture.

Mather has deleted her Instagram and Twitter accounts, probably in an attempt to hide from the ire of the internet she pissed off by being a jerk. Maybe she can use this down time to work a little on her sense of humor as well as her sense of humanity. "Mean girl" is not a cute look, Dani.
