Maisie Williams posted an Instagram pic with Sophie Turner that'll make 'GoT' fans squeal.

Maisie Williams uploaded this picture of herself with her on-screen sister, Sophie Turner, that will make you squeal with nerdy delight and make you sad that Game of Throneswon't be back until summer 2017. It has been a while since Arya and Sansa have seen each other, but when they reunite, hopefully their conversation will sound something like this.

💜💜💜💜💜

The females on Game of Thrones were extra badass this season, but we can only hope that the Stark sisters will kick things up a notch and reunite to take on Cersei in season 7. She is still on Arya's list, after all.


15 things to say to your Trump-supporting dad.

0
0

Fathers are the best. Except when their politics are the worst. It can be tiring arguing with family members who have momentarily lost their minds. Help is on the way. Here are 15 pre-written things you can say to dear ol' dad in case he's voting for Donald Trump for president.

Dads can't resist this face.

1.

"Supporting the guy with the most hair will not bring yours back."

2.

"Dad there’s only room for one racist in this family and it’s mom."

3.

"I'm still going to tell everyone you voted for Her."

4.

"Remember how proud you were when I took my first steps? This is pretty much the opposite of that."

5.

"I still support you, because I don’t think people should be judged or defined by their beliefs."

6.

"I’m taking away your car keys on election day as a safety precaution."

7.

"You can vote for Trump but just know that I’m already planning my cocaine relapse if he wins."

8.

"You better hope he makes nursing homes great again."

9.

"But just think about how much you love complaining about Hillary and how you won't get to do it anymore."

10.

"Okay, but please don’t buy a Make America Great Again hat."

11.

"If you wanna vote for a guy that specializes in real estate scams, I also have some land in Florida to sell you."

12.

"Thanks for paying for my college that liberals want to make free."

13.

"I forget, how did you feel about my high school boyfriend who was three years older than me and drove a Charger?"

14.

"I'd tell you how I feel about you voting for Trump, but I want to stay in the will."

15.

"You're fired."

Dr. Pimple Popper pulled a very big lipoma out of someone's back. This one's a fork-and-knifer.

If your Starbucks cup looks like this, the barista is trolling you.

A Reddit user named bemyfuse"works" as a Starbucks barista, but spends most of the day messing with teens by covering the most insta-worthy part of the cup with an order sticker.

Without the logo, these frapps are nothing but a delicious caffeine boost.

The photo's captioned:

my petty joy is putting stickers on the siren logo when annoying teenagers order millions of fraps at once so their instagram posts are ruined ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's the little things

Commenters on Reddit were also quick to point out that these are some of the saddest Starbucks frapps ever made, obscured logo or not. Droopy whipped cream, amateur drizzle—is it all part of the prank?

Is this barista going to get fired? Does a sticker on the logo really, actually annoy real human beings?

If yes, cleanse your palette with this perfect 'gram from the caffeine mermaid herself.

The espresso was, with milk, cooled... ...and the purple flower hill drooled. #StarbucksDoubleshotOnIce

Turns out that yeah, the logo's goddamn brilliant.

Finally, theres a 'Pokemon Go' dating site. What took them so long?

All that Pokémon Go making you horny? There's an app for that. Introducing PokéDates, an app that will set you up with a fellow Pokémon trainer who would love to meet up with you and stare at your respective phones in public.

They put the Poke in Pokémon.

Project Fixup is already a dating site that assigns a specialist to take into account all your hopes, dreams, and important height requirements and sets you up on themed dates. Now they've added a new theme, "PokéDates."

Say yes to the Exeggcute,

There's no back and forth messaging and no swiping; they just get your schedule and assign you a date and a PokeStop meeting place so you can save all that finger action for the PokéBalls.

Usually these dates cost $20 a pop, but your first PokéDate is free. After that, you'll just have to hang out at PokéStops and try to crash someone else's date.

Taylor Swift still thinks Kanye broke the law even though the law disagrees.

0

Taylor Swift still thinks Kanye broke the law when he recorded a phone conversation with her about the lyrics to his song "Famous." The dispute is specifically over the phrase "I made that bitch famous," which refers to Swift. Now she's threatening to sue and, according to a source, may file a police report based on laws about consent to record phone conversations (basically, that it can be illegal to record a phone conversation if someone does not know they're being recorded).

Kanye claims Swift approved the lyrics during their phone call even though she made a fuss after the song's release. The feud has even drawn Kim Kardashian to defend Yeezy and offer up audio evidence of Swift's approval during the call.

The trouble for Swift is that phone consent laws vary by state, and it's unclear which states she and Kanye were in when the conversation happened. Additionally, if there's a reasonable expectation that Tay knew others could hear her (speaker phone, background noises, etc.), she may not have a case. The legal aspects of this feud are complex, and so far, they don't seem to be in Swift's favor.

No matter how it turns out, it looks like Swift has some permanent bad blood with Yeezy and the Kardashian clan.

11 popular nail trends for people who never actually have to use their hands.

0
0

Nail art is a fantastic way to express yourself, complement your outfit, or collect bacteria. When people put so much effort into making fingers fancy, it's hard to believe the art can survive a day of work, or just any activity that involves fingers interacting with the elements. If you're lucky enough to not have to use your hands all that often or ever, here are the coolest styles to sport if you're fingers are just used for decoration.

1. Bubble Nails

Bubble nails got so dangerous that salons released warnings against them. While the blobs might make the fingers look thinner, it must be hard to keep your balance with all that weight at the tips.

2. Furry Nails

For the glamorous woman who wants to feel like The Grinch, and also never needs to wash their hands or deal with liquids of any kind.

3. Duck Feet Nails

Duck feet are already an unlikely inspiration for a glamorous look, but it also looks damn near impossible to get a grip.

4. Stiletto Nails

Should be illegal, due to their unique ability to stab.

5. 3D Nails

At worst, the props fall off instantly. At best, they get caught in every object you hold.

6. Snow Globe Nails

Elsa herself would most certainly lack the patience for this.

7. Pom Pom Nails

A cousin of Furry Nails, Pom Pom Nails add the extra cuteness of looking like teeny-tiny Pomeranians living on your fingertips.

8. Polish Mountain Nails

More of a challenge than a fashion choice, people still spend hours globbing on layer after layer of polish at the expense of their cuticles.

9. Pierced Nails

Not only is it a bizarre process, a dangly doohickey can get in the way of just about everything.

10. Hole-y Nails.

Not only are these dangerously long, but things can get stuck in there.

11. Aquarium Nails

It's been a while since I've done some #aquariumnails 💦 #tb

With a real life air bubble at the end of the nail, aquarium nails ironically don't go well with water.


Australian school adopts 'silent cheer' policy because children should be seen and not heard.

0
0

Students at Elanora Heights Public School in Sydney, Australia are no longer allowed to clap in school. Sure, schools have banned some weird things before, but this might be the first ever clapping ban. According to News.com.au, the school announced its new "silent cheer" policy in its July 18th newsletter.

"Instead of clapping," the newsletter says, "the students are free to punch the air, pull excited faces and wriggle about on the spot." The clapping ban is supposedly meant to respect those in the school community who are sensitive to loud noises.

Hilarious though it is to picture dozens of tiny children silently cheering their brains out at a school assembly, it does seem a little like we're going back to a "Children should be seen and not heard" mentality. What's next, Australia? Silent recess? Silent playtime with your pet kangaroo? Where does the madness stop?

Third Eye Blind dedicated their Cleveland concert to making fun of the GOP.

0

Rock band Third Eye Blind trolled Republicans by peppering anti-GOP rhetoric into a concert at they played at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on Tuesday. Due to the venue's proximity to the Republican National Convention, the crowd was chock-full of conservatives, so the band took the show as an opportunity to promote gay rights, science, and tolerance. The band was booed by the crowd, but like troopers, they trolled on.

Another attendee, Head of News for Snapchat Peter Hamby, tweeted about what happened during the show. Apparently band member Stephan Jenkins posed the question "Who here believes in science?" to the disgruntled crowd. It didn't go over well.

Hamby also noted that no matter how pissed everyone got, it is impossible not to love the song "Jumper." Duh.

Besides "Jumper," the band didn't play any of their big hits. They did choose, however, to play one of their more obscure songs, "Non Dairy Creamer," which has the lyrics:

And two gay guys got married
And brought the family to its knees
How did they blow us to smithereens
Just a couple of queens
How did they do it
I'll tell you now
They brought marriage to an end
And I've found myself some culprits

It's two young gay... REPUBLICANS!
Young gay republicans
Young gay republicans
Young gay republicans

You know, just to drive their point home.

The band continued to not give a crap on their Twitter page when some (former) fans voiced their disdain.

Although the Third Eye Blind concert may not have gone over well in person, the internet exploded with love and adoration for the band that they probably forgot about until now.

Jenkins wants to make it clear that the band did not play the RNC, but just happened to be playing a show where a lot of Republicans showed up because it was in the same city as the convention.

In 2012, he penned a personal essay for Huff Po entitled "Why We Aren’t Playing at the RNC." In the essay, he talks about how he would not attach himself or the band to a party that party is "dedicated to exclusion." Guess not much has changed in the past four years.

Caitlyn Jenner makes sweet burn about Republican lawmakers' bathroom laws.

0
0

Caitlyn Jenner spoke at the GOP Convention in Cleveland on Wednesday, and she was highly critical of her own party's platform on transgender rights. Jenner is a lifelong Republican and public figure in the transgender community, and she praised Democrats' policies towards transgender rights and bathroom policies while hoping that Republicans would one day follow suit:

I have to admit, I’ve been very disappointed over the last five to 10 years, but I won't give up hope on it. I think the Republican Party needs to understand, they need to know people who are trans.

The best part was when she reminded everyone that Republicans have been caught in plenty of bathroom sex scandals. Former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, former Mississippi Rep. Jon Hinson, and former Florida state Rep. Bob Allen were all arrested for "lewd behavior" in men's restrooms. So Jenner offered up a different solution:

Maybe what we should do is ban Republican representatives at a state level from being in the men's room.

No Republican Congressmen have been busted for lewd behavior in the the bathrooms at Quicken Loans Arena, but there are still a few more days left in the convention.

It apparently started from a challenge the printing company Kodomono gave to Instagram users, seeking creative photos of children. One photo covered up a baby's butt with a strategically placed peach, and a meme was born across the Pacific under the hashtag #桃尻, which means "peach."

Cute, until you remember what a peach actually looks like coming out their little bottoms. All this recalls when Japanese parents couldn't stop comparing their kids' arms to bread rolls:

As long as Japanese parents don't start cannibalizing their kids, it's good.

Update: Meredith McIver, the Trump ghostwriter who took the fall for Melania's speech, really exists.

0
0

(Update 12:33 AM: She exists! Although she reached out to me earlier in the day, for some reason she went with The New York Times instead.)

(Update 10:44 PM - This is not the first time Trump has blamed Meredith McIver for something:

At about 7:30, Meredith McIver wrote us saying she will get in touch soon. We will update again if she does.)

On July 20, Meredith McIver, a 65-year-old "in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization," accepted blame for Melania Trump's plagiarized speech, but now newspapers are questioning her very existence. Others speculate someone with that name exists, and they’re being used as a scapegoat, voluntary or not. (Her letter included an offer of resignation, but Trump “refused” it.) Why the skepticism? Well, Donald Trump has a known habit of making up people to fool the press. Besides that, her Facebook page was also created on July 20:

Her profile picture is also blurry enough not to be actually recognizable.

The only post on her page is her apology on Trump Org. stationary:

♥ Share...

Posted by Meredith McIver on Wednesday, July 20, 2016

This Twitter account appears to be hers, but the first tweet is also from today, mocking the plagiarism scandal.

Furthermore, using the Wayback Machine, it becomes clear that her profile on Speakerpedia—a public speakers directory—was also created on July 20.

The Wayback Machine captures previous versions of webpages so you can research the internet's past. This means the page was created today.

The Trump camp might want to delete that profile, however, because someone got into it:

In fact, her profile on All-American Speakers was created and deleted on July 20:

Clicking on this leads to nothing.

Her Wikipedia page was also created today.

She has existed in one form or another for a while, however. She's listed as the co-author on several Trump books. She was mentioned as an assistant in a 2007 Guardian article about Trump. TheNew York Daily Newsreported the most biographical details about McIver on July 20, saying she was a 65-year-old Democrat living on New York's Upper West Side who formerly worked on Wall St, and...

...was originally from San Jose, Calif., was a Ford Foundation scholar at 14 and also claimed to have been a dancer who trained at George Balachine's School of American Ballet.

So why is this the only other photograph of Meredith, one that was apparently deleted from Wikipedia already?

There is one person who claims to know her personally, although it's not helping.

Of course it's Piers Morgan. But did he actually meet her? No.

Does someone named Meredith McIver exist? Probably. Maybe. Who knows? Maybe if Donald Trump didn't want this speculation, he shouldn't have invented John Barron and John Miller. Because otherwise, we're just left with this:

Kim Kardashian fans had a good time editing Taylor Swift's Wikipedia page.

0

Just in case the substantial drama of the Republican convention made you forget about the REAL ISSUES, Taylor Swift's Wikipedia has been hilariously edited.

Shut out from calling her a sneaky snake on Instagram, Kim and Kanye fans took to Wikipedia to spread "the truth."

The legion of fans dedicated to speaking the truth took advantage of their ability to edit Wikipedia.

"Dragged to the grave."
RIP Tay, 1989-2016

"Evil takes a human form in Regina George."

The Draconian Wikipedia editors restored Taylor's profile to its pre-scandal state. But the truth will always come out, as Michael Scott says.


This Enterprise employee helped a struggling mom and now the internet loves him.

Today in "good guys of the internet," an Enterprise Rent-A-Car employee in Oklahoma named John recently helped out a struggling mom named Coty Vincent. Coty had her twin sons with her while John helped her deal with a hit and run accident, but she didn't have a double stroller for them. So, John did what any kind and thoughtful person would do and offered to hold one of them while he helped the kid's mom.

Coty posted the story to her Facebook page, and it has since gone viral.

*Update below story* This is John and he works at Enterprise. He's also a twin and his twin sister is his best friend....

Posted by Coty Vincent on Wednesday, July 13, 2016

The original post reads:

This is John and he works at Enterprise. He's also a twin and his twin sister is his best friend. While he helped me with my rental due to a hit and run accident, he held one of my twin sons as I don't have a double stroller. One of the most compassionate and caring people I've ever met. We need more people like John who go that extra step. Be a John.#BeAJohn

What a guy.

Coty has since added some updates to her Facebook post. Apparently Enterprise has made a sizable donation to John's charity of choice (the North Mabee Boys & Girls Club) and given him a gift card. They've also purchased a double stroller for Coty's sons. John's story aired on NBC Channel 2 in Tulsa on Monday night.

It's nice to see good people getting the recognition they deserve. We should all try harder to #BeAJohn.

Whitney Way Thore got into a yelling fight with a fat-shaming comedian on 'My Big Fat Fabulous Life.'

0
0
Whitney Way ​Thore, star of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, just got a mouthful from a comedian about why accepting her body is not OK on her own radio show.

"Yeah the odds are stacked against you, I'm sorry but that's life. Put your head down and work," comedian Kerryn Feehan instructs Thore during an appearance on Thore's show.

"My hardest problem isn't dealing with my weight, it's dealing with people like you," Whitney responds.

"I've done the work!"

Whitney reminds the skinny and overly-tanned comedian she's already done the hard work of losing 100lbs (which she has since regained) and that she still had to deal with nasty strangers judging her before they get to know her.

A quick look at Kerryn's Facebook page suggests there's maybe more to the story. In response to the feedback she has already received just from the promo video, Feehan posted today that she is more than just a "fat-shaming comedian," and lobs accusations at Thore, claiming insight that her "fit-and-fat" lifestyle is a lie:

As the hate tweets roll in, I've gotta weigh in 󾌩 real quick. I don't actually hate fat people, I make jokes because I'm...

Posted by Kerryn Feehan on Wednesday, July 20, 2016

She writes:

As the hate tweets roll in, I've gotta weigh in real quick. I don't actually hate fat people, I make jokes because I'm a comic. This woman Whitney Way Thore is a manipulative liar. She is her family and friends' literal and figurative cash cow. She smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and threatened to have one of the MANY production assistants who told me this FIRED. He has kids. She doesn't exercise or eat healthy in the slightest. Be fat. Be happy. I don't care. But going on tv, selling books, telling hundreds of thousands of your fans that you can be fat and fit (when the entire country saw you have a heart attack doing the running man in an earlier episode) is a deadly message. When they hired me for my opinion it was because I refused to go along with the glorification of addictive behavior. I'm not a bully. I'm also not a liar.

Feehan tagged Whitney in the post, but so far the star has yet to comment on the accusations.

You can watch the whole episode on TLC tonight at 9 pm.

26 things that inspired the plots, characters, and moments from famous movies.

0

Mental Floss put together this nifty list of 26 real things—including artwork, people, and even other movies—that inspired classic films like Groundhog Day, Jaws, and The Matrix. Did you know the water-shaking moment from Jurassic Park was inspired by the bass from an Earth, Wind, and Fire song? And that Monsters University was based on actual schools?

What's really fun is when the filmmakers don't cop up to their obvious inspirations. Ahem, Aronofsky.

The 'New York Times' got ahold of Trump's potential running mates list and what he offered: the presidency.

0
0

Donald Trump, the self-titled ultimate deal maker, had an offer he thought Ohio Governor John Kasich couldn't refuse: agree to be Trump's Vice President, and Kasich could essentially be the President in every sense except the title. At least, that's what the New York Times reported. Sweet deal, right?

According to a Kasich advisor, who remained anonymous in the Times piece, Donald Trump, Jr. personally reached out to Kasich's team to make the offer, allegedly saying,

"Did he [Kasich] have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?"

Kasich's camp, confused, asked how this would work. Donald, Jr. then explained that Trump's Vice President would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy (a.k.a. everything, unless we start including Deep Space Nine). Still confused, Kasich's camp asked Donald, Jr. what Donald, Sr. would be doing. Donald, Jr. allegedly responded,

"Making America great again."

The Times reported that they reached out to the Trump campaign repeatedly for comment, with no response. Shortly after the article was published, Donald Trump, Jr. disputed Kasich's account of the conversations. Finally Trump, Sr. weighed in:

You know how when you're living through a moment in history, and you say to yourself, "This is going to make a great book someday"? Just wait, because this is going to make a great book someday.
