During a routine press briefing on Tuesday, press secretary Sean Spicer compared Hitler favorably to Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, claiming that even Hitler "didn’t even sink to the level of using chemical weapons" during World War II. That is, of course, entirely incorrect. In the wake of Spicer's uninformed comments, which caused an immediate backlash on social media, a Holocaust survivor is now speaking out against him. He shared his thoughts with Mic.com in a video that's now gone viral.

Spicer has since apologized for his comments several times:

But for Holocaust survivor Roman Kent, an apology isn't adequate. Sean Spicer defended himself by saying, "Everyone makes mistakes," which is true, but Kent points out that Spicer's comment wasn't a mistake, it was "complete, total ignorance of the most important issue that prevailed during the last war, from which so many millions of people died."

Roman Kent continues, "To have a person ignorant like this at the helm of our government — because press secretary is very important — it’s tragic. It’s not a mistake; it’s a tragedy."

On his thoughts about whether Spicer should lose his job over this gaffe, Kent says,

Whether he should be fired or not, I am not in charge, I am not the president of the United States, but as far as I am concerned, a man so ignorant should not be our representative. Ignorance is not an excuse. Not from a man like this, on a high position like this. He represents the president. So this is why it's incomprehensible.

Great job, Spicer! At least he'll probably refrain from comparing anyone to Hitler ever again.

Twitter user @melliinaa_, a high school student in Illinois, has captured one of the most poignantly beautiful and yet hilarious moments that Twitter has ever seen. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she added the best possible soundtrack.

With more than 81,000 retweets, it's safe to say this thing is a hit. The response is overwhelming.

It even got a like from 30-year-old teen idol Drake.

Every time a new detail came out, people were more impressed by this young man.

Others wondered what was going on in his life to make him act this way. Was he in crisis?

Oh. Well, he's still a badass.

Going to the dentist is already scary, but now patients at the Good Dental Clinic in St. Petersburg have one more reason to fear getting their teeth examined.

According to this video from Press TV, this horrifying sculpture sits in the reception area of the Russia-based dentist's office. Looks like they picked the most unnerving piece of "art" they could possibly find and placed it in the exact spot that would make you the most anxious.

The sculpture was created by artist Mariana Shumkova, who used real human teeth extracted from patients. The bust has several mouths, and although it does not have eyes or a nose, it does weirdly have ears.

We do have to say, the sculpture does remind us of a much less lovable version of a certain someone...

At least having the scary bust on display will inspire patients to avoid the dentist at all costs and people will start taking better care of their teeth. Don't be surprised if the rate of people flossing in St. Petersburg suddenly skyrockets.

Another new beauty trend has surfaced and is dividing the internet between hating it and loving it. Ladies and gentlemen, we've seen beauty trends inspired by unicorns. We've seen beauty trends inspired by human tears. Now we have a trend inspired by... birds? I guess?

Seventeen reports that the hubbub began when Finnish makeup artist Stella Sironen posted the first known photo of the feather brows to Instagram.

Apparently, Sironen used a glue stick to part the arch's hairs down the middle, giving the feather-like effect. (She credits her friend Leevi for coming up with the idea.) People on Twitter couldn't decide how to feel about them.

Some weren't quite sold on the idea.

While others have decided to embrace feather brows fully.

How do you feel about feather brows? Will you be taking a glue stick to your eyebrows anytime soon?

Alec Baldwin doesn't think Kendall Jenner is to blame for appearing in that controversial Pepsi commercial in which she goes to a protest and hands a bottle of soda to a police officer.

The Pepsi ad received so much backlash that it was pulled just one day after it was released. The company apologized for the ad in a statement, admitting that they "missed the mark," and that they were sorry for "putting Kendall Jenner in this position." According to Us Weekly, Jenner feels "horrible" about the ad.

Yesterday, Alec Baldwin took to Twitter where he showed his support for the 21-year-old in a series of tweets, saying that she's "still a very young, inexperienced woman in an awful business." He thinks people should blame her "management" instead.

Jenner apparently went to school with Alec Baldwin's daughter, Ireland Baldwin, so he's known her since she was a child. In a second tweet, Baldwin writes that he thinks it's "unfair to rake these younger ppl over the coals."

And in a third tweet, Baldwin writes, "The US is such a sadistically shame-based, blame-centered culture…"

But—surprise!—not everyone sees it that way. People on Twitter responded to Alec Baldwin's tweets with their own opinions on the matter.

Holy moly, what a week. We had the whole United Airlines debacle, Sean "Spicey" Spicer's completely uninformed remarks about Hitler (wow), Ben Carson getting stuck in an elevator, and Trump dropping the MOAB on Afghanistan. Time to kick back and relax with jokes that'll remind you about all that stuff all over again. And a few random ones in there so you can escape for about 10 seconds. Enjoy!

Because dating is hard and people are cheaters, there's a new term going around for you to worry about. If you loved ghosting and couldn't get enough mooning, boy oh boy will your ice cold heart enjoy cushioning.

From Urban Dictionary, the most concise definer of your dating anxiety:

Cushioning: "A dating technique where along with your main piece you also have several 'cushions,' other people you'll chat and flirt with to cushion the potential blow of your main break-up and not leave you alone.

'Yeah, I don't think it's going that well with Dave. Luckily I've been cushioning him with Pablo and Gary.'

That's good news for Pablo/Gary, and terrible news for Dave! Sorry, Dave.

So where did this come from, and who's doing it?

According to InStyle, the term was coined on The Tab("a movement for girls who dgaf") where several young women shared their various techniques for supposedly on-the-border infidelity. They define it thusly:

Essentially, ‘cushioning’ means while you’re still having your main thing, you keep a few others on the backburner, texting them and giving them just enough attention so that if your main relationship goes down, you’re not totally left alone and out in the cold. They’re there to ‘cushion’ the blow, so to speak.

Cruel! Here's one brave cushioner's story, shared with The Tab (emphasis mine, because I hope she's being sarcastic):

I was seeing someone for a few months and it was going well, but it felt like the dust had started to settle a bit. I still liked him, but wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to him to be my boyfriend and was in limbo. Instead of talk about it, the rational thing to do was to go back on Tinder and find some more boys to chat to, just in case the current one fell through.

Get it? It's purposely and deliberately flirting with other people you can rebound with if you breakup. They are your "cushions." Ironically, it seems like your cushions could easily cause the breakup to begin with, but dating is a game of checkers to these people, and you can only think so far ahead.

Now the term has gone mainstream to the point that the Daily Mailwrote it up, causing other internet writers to point out how "cushioning" is really no different from actual cheating. From Mashable:

It doesn't really help you either. The only way to reap the full benefit of being in a real relationship is to be in one— all the way in, not with one foot always out the door.

So is "cushioning" as bad as cheating? Or is it like keeping an extra battery in the house in case your smoke detector dies and you need a replacement? Is that the worst metaphor for this situation or can you think of an even worse one?

Anyway, how comfortable would you be actually admitting to your significant other that you're cushioning them? Why not try admitting it, just to see!

Good luck, dear reader. May your breakup always be cushioned by ice cream, if nothing else.

A dog on the roof.

Sounds crazy, no?

But here, on the internet, you might say every one of us is a dog on the roof, taking advantage of each opportunity to have some fun where we can find it.

Cooper Fleishman, the tech editorial director at Mic, got a really important update from his mom, which featured some frisky dogs finding their bliss.

The original tweet went super-viral with over 50,000 retweets and 171,000 likes. Everyone wanted to learn more about the "Dog Party!"

"It just gets better and better," Fleishman wrote, as the party kept raging.

I would give anything for a video of this.

The dog party ended just like human parties do: with mom yelling.

Fleishman got the backstory on how the dogs got to the roof in the first place.

The dog party moved tens of thousands of people. Twitter even demanded to know more about the Easter buns Fleishman's mom was making as it was all going down.

Rebellious dogs are the ultimate party animals.

Remember when Bernie Sanders printed out a tweet and took it to the Senate floor to troll Donald Trump? Well, someone just matched that boss move and then took it about 90,000 feet farther. The Autonomous Space Agency Network (ASAN) just launched the first-ever "space protest" against Donald Trump's presidency by sending a printed-out tweet into the stratosphere via a high-altitude weather balloon.

We thought Antarctica would be as far as humanity will go to troll the president. But apparently Planet Earth alone can no longer contain the resistance.

The tweet ASAN chose for their mission reads, with poetic simplicity: "@realDonaldTrump: LOOK AT THAT, YOU SON OF A BITCH." And watching it float through the stratosphere in this video may bring tears to your eyes:

The tweet was originally a callback to this tweet from astrophysicist and fierce Trump opponent Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It's a quote from NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth person to walk on the moon, who passed away last year.

The full quote from Mitchell, about his experience in space, reads:

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.

Another fun fact about Edgar Mitchell: he believed aliens exist and have helped prevent nuclear war on Earth (I hope they keep it up!).

According to ASAN's website, this space protest was launched "in solidarity with the upcoming March for Science (4/22)." It's also likely a response to the president's proposal to cut funding for NASA’s Earth science program, and basically anything else involving education, science, or protecting the planet.

But while this "space" protest is impressive, 90,000 it's technically not "space" according to Vice.That would require a distance of at least 330,000 feet. So it's time to step it up, people. I will not rest until I look up at the night sky and see "Look at that, you son of a bitch" written in block letters on the moon.

Ed Sheeran's song "Shape of You" from his newest album Divide is dominating the charts in the UK and Ireland, and apparently the popular singer-songwriter is also dominating... Easter baskets? (He already has a baby doppelganger, so it only makes sense that he has some egg doppelgangers, too.)

Apparently, a bunch of kids around the UK are giving up the traditional coloring of Easter eggs in favor of making "Egg Sheeran" displays. Many of them feature a tiny little egg version of Ed Sheeran, on a stage, performing for a crowd of non-Sheeran eggs.

Parents around the UK have been taking to Twitter to share their children's Egg Sheeran masterpieces, and I have to say, they're pretty cute.

This one is really just spot-on:

Honestly, the Egg Sheeran displays are adorable and all, but I'm just disappointed I didn't think of the A+ pun first. Egg Sheeran. Man, that's good.

Some of Dr. Pimple Popper's patients have been coming to her for so long, they become institutions. Who can forget Pops, or Mr. Wilson, or Momma Squishy, or the Masked Man? These aren't wrestlers—they're just ordinary people with chronic skin conditions who need Dr. Sandra Lee's help on a regular basis. Today's patient, who sadly doesn't have a fun nickname, has been coming to Dr. Lee to get her back blackheads removed for three years. In a fascinating new video, the good doctor compiled footage from all of her visits, to show how her skin has progressed. And there's a fun little seborrheic keratosis removal in there too.

It's a nice reminder of the joy Dr. Lee has brought us for years. Here's to many more!

Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) faced a tough crowd full at his Mesa, Arizona, town hall event on April 13. But one person who stood out in particular was a 16-year-old girl who identified herself as Deja Foxx. Foxx questioned the Republican senator's support for de-funding Planned Parenthood, and honestly, he was no match for her.

Here's how their conversation went:

FOXX: Jeff Flake. My name is Deja Foxx, and I’m a 16-year-old from Tucson. I just want to state some facts. So, I’m a young woman, and you’re a middle-aged man.

FLAKE: Ouch!

FOXX: I’m a person color and you’re white. I come from a background of poverty, and I didn’t always have parents to guide me through life. You come from privilege. So I’m wondering, as a Planned Parenthood patient and someone who relies on Title X, who you are clearly not, why it’s your right to take away my right to choose Planned Parenthood, and to choose no-copay birth control, to access that. So if you can explain that to me, I would appreciate it.

FLAKE: Well, thank you. I’m glad to hear of my privileged childhood. I have a few of my sisters here. I’m one of 11 kids, I’m right in the middle of 11. I didn’t grow up privileged, I paid for my college on my own, all on my own, so could I have — I do have — I am fortunate, I am fortunate that I do have a wonderful job representing the state of Arizona and I, and I want to …

FOXX: Privilege comes in many forms.

FLAKE: You bet it does, and I’ve had a lot of advantages that others haven’t, and what I want is to make sure that everyone can realize the American dream that all of us have been successful at. So that’s that’s what I’m trying to do, and that’s why I support the policies that I support.

FOXX: And if no-copay birth control is helping me to be successful, to reach for higher education, and Planned Parenthood is doing that as well, why would you deny me the American dream?

FLAKE: Thank you, that’s a great question. I wouldn’t deny anybody the American dream.

FOXX: Then support Planned Parenthood

FLAKE: Thank you.

FOXX: No, thank you.

No, seriously, thank YOU, Deja Foxx.

According to ShareBlue, a recent poll shows that 62 percent of Americans are against de-funding of Planned Parenthood. That number jumps to 80 percent when people are informed that federal funds to Planned Parenthood are used "only for non-abortion health issues such as breast cancer screening." Even 65 percent of Republicans are against cutting Planned Parenthood's funding when they learn that.

Despite this overwhelming support for Planned Parenthood, President Donald Trump just signed into law a bill that attacks funding for family planning. Voices like Deja Foxx's are more important than ever now. And to think she's only 16!

Former Vogue editor at large, André Leon Talley, sat down with reporter Tamron Hall at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday night. Talley and Hall discussed many subjects, including diversity in the fashion industry and politics. And, as a bonus, he took a moment to weigh in on Kellyanne Conway's inauguration outfit.

"I think she was dressed like a nutcracker," Talley said of Conway's inauguration outfit, as reported by WWD. "I think she went downstairs to Gucci in the Trump Tower and bought that off the rack and then went home to New Jersey. That was a drive-by purchase."

Talley also weighed in on Melania Trump. Though he has previously said he doesn't agree with the Trump administrations policies, he expressed his admiration for the current first lady.

“The current first lady is the best thing about the Trump administration. She’s like a 'Mona Lisa' sphinx," Talley said of Melania. "She doesn’t tell you who she is, but she expresses herself through her clothes."

In addition to politics, Talley also took a moment to talk about the strides the fashion industry has made in terms of diversity, specifically the recent appointment of Edward Enninful as the new editor of British Vogue.

“There was a beautiful moment recently for people of color becauseEdward Enninful was just named editor in chief of British Vogue. Do you realize what that means?”

You can read more quotes from André Leon Talley's discussion with Tamron Hall over on WWD.

It's a beautiful thing to reunite with an old childhood love, but to do that, you have to be sure that you're talking to the right person. And, oh, try to leave 9/11 out of your pick up approach.

Redditor whatsupbrooklyn got a cringey series of messages from an alleged "old flame" that's even more awkward than middle school.

(Note: "What's up?" "The sky"?? Grow up, dude.)

And then it gets even worse.

As if the poster wouldn't remember who she had dated, this creepy dude tries to convince her otherwise, with a tale of "when the towers fell."

Oh no.

This dude is as best, delusional, and at worst, trying to implant memories like some sort of Inception or reverse Eternal Sunshine maneuver, because his history of high-stakes kisses seems highly unlikely.

Plus, his logic is flawed: everyone knows where they were on 9/11.

That's part of what makes 9/11, you know, 9/11.

In a fascinating (yet unsettling) new viral video, a family gathers around to crack open a nine-year-old Easter egg that had recently resurfaced. The uploader writes: "My parents had some furniture in storage from mid-2008 until early 2017. Today we found an egg from our 2008 Easter-egg-hunt hiding behind the couch cushions..." Of course, there was nothing they could do but crack it, and get the whole thing on video. The result took them, and the entire internet, completely by surprise. No matter what you're expecting, you're wrong.

At least we know if stinks. If it had no odor, that would somehow be more unnerving.

If there's one thing we've all learned in 2017, it's don't mess with Wendy's Twitter account. You will get burned. They're the J.K. Rowling of fast food chains. Just ask Hardee's, a competing fast food chain who tried to get into it with Wendy's on Twitter. Although they're probably not ready to talk about it yet.

The beef started with an innocuous argument between customers over who has a better "4 for 4" (4 items for $4) deal, Wendy's or Hardee's. Then Hardee's got involved.

Then somebody tipped off Wendy's, and they delivered this piping hot burn.

Now would have been a good time for Hardee's to go put some aloe on that burn and sleep it off. Instead, they tried to fight back. Big mistake.

And that, my friends, is why you don't try to beat the master at her own game.

Apparently the burn was so bad it hurt Hardee's feelings a little bit. Because Wendy's followed up with this tweet:

Twitter is reeling from the heat of this smackdown.

And, once again, everyone is praising whoever runs the Wendy's Twitter account as the hero she is.

Twitter user Sean Ludwig shared a screenshot of the whole exchange and it went viral:

To answer his question: we have an idea who runs the Wendy's Twitter account. And so does the Wendy's Twitter account.

We could not agree more.
