On Monday night, the words “Pay Trump Bribes Here” were projected over the entrance of the Washington, D.C. Trump International Hotel. Pictures on social media also showed the Constitution’s emoluments clause projected onto the outside of the hotel, and the words "Emoluments welcome!"

Washington, D.C. artist Robin Bell is claiming credit for the stunt, tweeting "Had a lot of fun projecting #emolumentswelcome on Trump hotel" early Tuesday morning.

The emoluments clause is the part of the U.S. Constitution that prohibits federal officials from taking payments from foreign governments. As Heritage.org explains, it reads:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of The Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or Foreign State.

According toThe Hill, Trump is currently facing a lawsuit filed in January by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington that claims he violated the emoluments clause by accepting payments from foreign countries through his hotel.

The projections on the Trump Hotel appeared just hours after a report from The Washington Post that alleged Trump had given highly classified info to the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador with whom he met last week at the White House.

In tweets on Tuesday morning, President Trump admitted that he gave information to Russia, but claims he had "the absolute right" to do it:

After someone wrote a "bad word" on a bathroom wall, the principal of the Teague Intermediate School in Texas reportedly punished a group of fourth-grade boys by"telling them to rub the floor and then lick their fingers," according to local ABC affiliate KXXV-TV.

A furious mom of one of the students, Adrienne Acosta, raged against the school on Facebook. Her words unleashed a torrent of criticism at the school in the comments.

"Hell no put his ass in jail," wrote one commenter. "Wow! Teague has gotten out of control!" wrote another.

Others confirmed Acosta's account: "This is very hard to read becus [sic] my son did confirm and say it was true when the hell they start nasty shit like that... our children are not dogs?!?!???"

Here's a video account from Acosta, in an interview with KXXV-TV.

Apparently, none of the students would admit to writing the bad word in the bathroom.

"So she told them to sit down on the floor, to slap hands to each person that was next to them, to rub the floor in a frontward circular motion and then in a backward circular motion, and then to lick their finger," said Adrienne Acosta, the parent in the above video.

"It was like a nightmare," she said, of hearing of the punishment from her son. "I'm like 'are you serious.'"

Her son said, "She was standing there, watching us do it."

The adult behind the alleged incident, Vickey Little, is actually the school principal. After the incident spread on social media, parents met with the school's superintendent, who released a statement:

We met with parents who came to the Intermediate this morning and listened to their concerns. This situation is still being investigated.

Some parents told KXXV-TV that the principal admitted to administering the "finger-licking" punishment. "She did admit [it], and it shocked me, ... because we all looked up to her and we all know her, and that's not the kind of person she is," said parent Latresha Phillips.

You know that feeling when you realize kids are way smarter than you? Here's a math problem that'll make you feel like that.

According to the New York Times, 13-year-old Luke Robitaille won the Raytheon Mathcounts National Competition with the answer to the following word problem:

In a barn, 100 chicks sit peacefully in a circle. Suddenly, each chick randomly pecks the chick immediately to its left or right. What is the expected number of unpecked chicks?

Competitors only have a pencil and paper, and are given 45 seconds to buzz in with their answer. Luke apparently buzzed in with his answer to the question in less than a second. Can you figure it out?

Got it yet? We'll give you some more time.

Better figure it out soon. We're going to give you the answer.

On Monday night, the Washington Post released a bombshell report that said President Donald Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian ambassador and the Russian foreign minister in a White House meeting last week.

Last night the White House paraded out three top administration officials to deny the reports, as New York magazine reports, but then Donald Trump woke up this morning and said, "Yup! It was me! I did it!" He did something similar just last week, when he got his people to insist that he fired former FBI James Comey because of the Deputy Attorney General's recommendation, only to later say, "Yup! I did it because of the Russia investigation!"

Just like he allegedly blurted out sensitive, classified intel to a foreign adversary, today Trump blurted out that the report of him doing that is indeed true.

Here's Trump's morning confession on Twitter, translated.

Translation: As President, I know a lot. I know the best things, I know all of the things. It's my prerogative to boast what I know about sensitive counter-terrorism operations to a foreign adversary, just so I look cool and strong. Who cares if this could endanger the Intelligence Community on the ground and alienate key allies? These are my bros Sergey and Sergey (Lavrov and Kislyak! Funny how all Russian men are named Sergey!)

Is that not enough of an explanation? Okay, here's a thing. I JUST learned the word "humanitarian," so I will throw that in, and I will throw it in bigly. HUMANITARIAN! Sure, you might not think that Putin's Russia, which systematically kills opponents and journalists and gay people, are not "humanitarian" partners, but AS PRESIDENT, it's my prerogative (check out that fancy word I just learned, too!)

Plus, I want Russia to step up their fight against ISIS and terrorism, at least to the level at which they fight opponents and journalists and gay people.

Okay, Fake Media? Nothing says "Make America Great Again" like endangering America to impress the Russians that got me elected. MAGA!

Translation: I have no self-awareness, so let me deflect and make this about LEAKERS, even though the leaker is me! I'm always talking about myself, except when something actually applies to me!

This is serious sh*t. It's already been reported that an unidentified European country might stop sharing intelligence with the United States now that Trump has passed along classified, sensitive information to the Russians.

Thank god it's Friday because we can all use a break.

Wait, it's only Tuesday?

Crap.

A Miami artist named Joel Avarez has created a fashion movement that requires only black tape, unwavering confidence, and a remarkable tolerance for the pain of a thousand pieces of tape being ripped off your bare skin at the end of the night. But that part's rarely seen on Instagram.

"It's just electrical tape," writes the Black Tape Project on Facebook, giving a how-to in four words.

Warning: the following images are probably not safe for your work, unless you work in a Maxim magazine.

While the "Black Tape Project" has over 200,000 followers on Instagram, and you can book their models for parties and the like, outlets like the Daily Mail and New Zealand Herald imply that the trend is "catching on" with regular humans.

Is it, though?

The idea of a woman taping her skin is not completely new, but products like "flash tape" aren't a fashion statement, more a utility. Plus, you don't put it literally everywhere.

According to their Facebook page, The Black Tape Project is a "scintillating visual extravaganza." You could also call it the "black bar of censorship" reworked into fashion. Kim Kardashian knows.

Meanwhile, the Black Tape Project website hosts the following intriguing video.

If anyone can figure out why there's a prominently featured owl in it, reward yourself by not covering your body in tape and ripping it off your bare skin.

Buying a wedding dress is usually a big deal for any bride-to-be. The only problem is, there are so many wedding dresses and they can cost so much that shopping can get very overwhelming. (This is basically the entire premise of Say Yes To The Dress.) Naturally, it's tempting to try to save time and money by ordering a wedding dress online.

But there are certain reasons you might not want to do that—and here are 16 of them.

1. How nice of them to screw up not only the dress, but also the color. Luckily every bride looks radiant in lime green, right?

2. For when you're a bride, but you're also maybe going to a business meeting, and then doing some nursing afterwards.

3. For when it's very important that your wedding guests NOT SEE THAT YOU HAVE BREASTS. (Breasts? What breasts? Where?)

4. Hey, another one! Just like the ol' tagline goes, "Never let 'em see your breasts."

5. So close…and yet not even close at all.

6. "What do you have in the way of something that makes me look like I've been consumed by a roll of paper towels?"

7. They are "very similar" in that they are both dresses made from pink cloth that could conceivably be worn by a human.

8. This fit and flare dress probably would have looked nicer if they'd remembered to include the "flare."

9. For the bride who wants to look like crumpled toilet paper.

10. Welp.

11. It might have looked better if they'd stuck with the original material and not decided to use Grandma's bedspread instead.

12. "Yes, I'd like this dress, but more garish and could you make it look like it's made for a six-year-old? Great, thanks."

13. This dress is perfect for when you're going for that "upside-down troll doll" feel, and you also won't be able to walk at all so they'll have to roll you down the aisle on a dolly.

14. For the bride who really wants to look like she's nothing but a huge torso. A dressy, silky torso.

15. But…how…what…even?

16. When they run out of material for the lining but it doesn't even matter because clearly they've gone rogue with the dress altogether.

Meet the charcoal latte, a black drink that'll both energize you and unleash the dark soul within... giving a new meaning to "dark roast."

Cafes in England and Australia are serving up the black and gray-hued beverage as not only an antidote to the rainbow mania of the unicorn Frappuccino, but for some actual health benefits as well.

According to Brit + Co, the enchanted ingredient—activated charcoal—can have a detoxing effect on the digestive system. So it can be just as cleansing as it is Instagrammable.

A tour through Instagram show the mesmerizing possibilities of applying a black and white photo filter straight to the drink.

Dark and frothy are not mutually exclusive.

It's some real black magic.

Extra points if this latte matches your nails.

If you're an avid viewer of Dr. Pimple Popper's videos, you'll know that not all cysts are created equal (you'll also know that she's a licensed dermatologist and her real name is Dr. Sandra Lee). For example, this cyst is what's known as a Pilar cyst, or "wen," which differs from an epidermoid cyst in that it usually occurs on the scalp, and tends to be "firmer" and "more mobile" (according to Dr. Lee's video caption). That means there's a better chance that it'll do that "oddly satisfying" thing where it pops out whole, no muss, no fuss.

Dr. Pimple Popper starts the real squeezing at the 3:47 mark in the video.

And that's exactly what happens here: the cyst comes out perfectly, like a single testicle being removed from a man's scalp. Dr. Pimple Popper doesn't call it a testicle, though; in the video she describes it as a "gumball," "meatball," and "golf ball." Sure, it looks like those objects, too. Whatever floats your cyst boat.

A mystery teacher became an internet scholar last year when SharkyTheSharkDog shared photos of the extra credit questions on their exams.

Now the questions are going viral again on Imgur, and while the first six are really fun—you should see if you can get them all correct—the last one is pure torture in the form of public humiliation.

Don't read too quickly, students.

1. How many seasons was Full House on the air?

2. Complete the verse... I been in the game for ten years makin' rap tunes...

3. What color pants does Jake from State Farm wear?

4. Okay, this one's going to be tough for you.

"Yesterday during my lecture I quickly mentioned that only a pink pen will save you tomorrow. Draw a stick figure below in that pink pen."

5. Describe the dumbest conversation you overheard recently.

Guy: Do you like Bon Jovi?

Girl: No thanks, I don't eat Italian Food.

6. Including The Revenant, how many times has Leo DiCaprio been nominated for an academy award?

7. And this one's a true test of your reading strategy.

First person to read this, stand up proudly on your chair, and yell at the top of your lungs, 'Oh Captain, My Captain!' will receive a 95% on this exam.

*Just kidding. Name the drummer for The Beatles.

Pity the nerd who fell for that one.

As if being a teenager with a period isn't stressful enough, many schools don't supply tampons and pads to students. And when they do offer them, you have to put a dime or quarter in a machine that is broken 70% of the time (and what teenager carries spare change???).

This was the case for Cordelia Longo, an 8th grader at Islander Middle School on Mercer Island in Washington State. She recently found herself in need of a pad or tampon while at school and couldn't find a working sanitary product dispenser in a single bathroom, after trying bathrooms in three separate buildings, she told the Seattle Times.

Sound like a nightmare? It is. A nightmare that most women have experienced at some point in their lives, probably more than once.

"I just felt scared because I was embarrassed. But I shouldn’t have been, because it’s just what happens," Longo told the Times. "Then I was mad. It shouldn’t be that I was caught without pads. The principals talk so much about diversity and how it’s a good thing to appreciate everyone’s differences, but they don’t think of the difference between boys and girls."

So Cordelia, future lawyer and/or President (fingers crossed), decided to start a petition to get her school to supply menstrual products. She got about 100 students—boys and girls—to sign it and handed it in to school administrators.

In an attached letter, she wrote:

Why are tissues and toilet paper provided free at school, but not sanitary pads and tampons? As toilet paper and tissue are used for normal bodily functions, sanitary pads and tampons are also necessary to address normal bodily functions.

Girls do not choose to have periods. So girls are being penalized and made to pay for a bodily function they cannot control.

She also did her research, and pointed out that in New York City, public schools are required by law to provide sanitary products, the Times reports.

The letter worked. Within a week, the school had restocked the pad and tampon machines and disabled the coin operation function so students can get the products for free. And Mercer Island High School did the same.

Islander Co-Principal Mary Jo Budzius told the Times that the school keeps a "huge stockpile" of feminine products in the gym locker rooms, but that most students were probably unaware and too shy to ask.

She's impressed with Cordelia for taking action.

"As a woman, I never really considered it," Budzius told the Times. "It is what has always been. It’s so great for a 14-year-old girl to say, 'This is wrong and we should not pay for this.' I’d love to take credit."

Cordelia's mom, Jen Longo, is also impressed. And proud. She told the Times:

Boys should be cool with [menstruation], girls should be cool with it. And the more that it’s normalized, the more girls are treated like humans, the better it will be for everyone. If boys are taught there is nothing wrong with women’s bodies, they won’t grow up to legislate against them.

PREACH.

Stockings are not usually the most exciting part of anyone's wardrobe...that is unless you own a one-of-a-kind piece by Australian designer/bedazzler Rachel Burke.

Behold! Bedazzled stockings!

SO SHINY

But bedazzled stockings aren't just for fans of rhinestones and sequins.

Burke's creations also feature flowers.

You can literally walk around with a garden on your gams.

They're better than a bouquet.

Some designs have pom-poms.

Or a combination of pom-poms and sparkle.

You can adorn your legs with confetti.

or bows

or stars

or even eyeballs, for an especially eye-catching look.

The question is, where would you wear them? Who cares! Wear them literally anywhere. Well, maybe not to a funeral or wedding, but anywhere else!

You can keep up with Burke's leg series on Instagram, or purchase one of her creations on Etsy, where she also sells over-the-top sunglasses, jackets and bags.

Sparkle on, friends.

National Pack Rat Day is celebrated every year on May 17. It encourages people to do some late spring cleaning and make space for newer, more useful things in their lives. Pack Rat Day also encourages us to look at ourselves and see if we have "pack rat" tendencies, meaning we hold on to, collect, or hoard unneeded items. You may realize you have developed problems due to compulsive hoarding such as a cluttered home, yard, or car.

How to Observe National Pack Rat Day

• Take a look around and start cleaning out unneeded items. If you need to, call a friend to help you get started. Once you start clearing things out, you'll feel good about what you've accomplished!
• Throw away or donate anything you haven't used for over 6 months - whether it it's baseball cards, vintage chocolate wrappers, or old cars. Pack Rat Day is a reminder that there's a fine line between collecting and hoarding, and that sometimes it's ok to get rid of old things to make way for newer things.
• If you know of someone who is a hoarder, research getting them some help. Hoarding can have a very negative effect on a person's life. This type of pack rat behavior can create major mental and physical health issues.
• Read more about actual pack rats! Also called woodrats, these rodents collect anything they can find to make their nests. They are known to get distracted by shiny new things - if they see something they like, they will drop what they are currently holding to get the shiny new item for their nest.

Use #NationalPackRatDay to post on social media. Enjoy!

Kendall Jenner took quite the tumble while riding a bike, and the video is definitely not hilarious, so please do not laugh at it. The clip was uploaded onto Instagram by none other than Kendall's own sister Khloe, alongside the caption "my work here is done."

Kendall was not hurt (although her ego may have been badly bruised), and dissolved into a fit of laughter after hitting the ground. Although Kendall is laughing, you should definitely not laugh.

There is absolutely nothing funny about some rich model wearing a fuzzy pink coat falling off a slow moving bike although both her feet were already on the ground. Nothing at all.

On a serious note—wear a helmet next time, Kendall. I'm not joking.

Bill Cosby gave his first interview in more than two years to reporter Michael Smerconish on Sirius Radio, and a preview of the painfully awkward interview dropped last night.

Cosby's daughters, Erinn and Ensa, released a statement on Monday on "The Breakfast Club" radio show in which they claimed their dad is innocent and that he is the victim of a "witch hunt." Cosby's youngest daughter, Evin, also made a statement last month defending her dad.

In the two-minute-long clip, the comedian, who is currently facing accusations of sexual assault from over 60 women, said that his daughter Ensa had a point when she defended her dad and blamed "systemic racism" for the extensive charges against him.

"I've seen the accusations become more horrific and extreme with time and I've witnessed my father's reputation and legendary works be dismissed without any proof," said Ensa. "I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes that are alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this scandal."

In the clip from Bill Cosby's latest interview, Smerconish played back this statement from Ensa and then asked Cosby, "Do you agree with that?"

This was the comedian's convoluted reply:

Could be. Could be. I can’t say anything, but there are certain things that I look at and I apply to the situation and… there are so many tentacles, so many different… “nefarious” is a great word, and I just truly believe that, um, some of it may very well be that.

Smerconish then pointed out "but your accusers are both black and white," to which Cosby replied:

Well, let me put it to you this way. When you look at the power structure, and when you look at individuals there are some people who can very well be motivated by whether or not they’re going to work. Or whether or not they might be able to get back at someone. So if it’s in terms of whatever the charge is, I think you can also examine individuals and situations and they will come out differently. So it’s not all, not every but I do think that there’s some.

Cosby insisting he "can’t say anything" else is presumably on account of the legal charges against him and his upcoming trial, which half explains his vagueness in this interview.

You can listen to the clip here, if you can bear it:

The 79-year-old is scheduled to go to trial in June for criminal charges of allegedly drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand in his Pennsylvania home in 2004. Constand is one of more than 60 women in the past three years to accuse Cosby of sexual assault.

Of those 60 women, 35 told their stories of Cosby's alleged behavior towards them in a New York Magazine profile last July. You can read their heartbreaking stories here.

The hashtag #BondTrumpBond is trending on Twitter right now. In case you're confused, it's simple—people are making James Bond jokes, with a Donald Trump twist. It's the same kind of game as the #SpicerSpinsMoviePlots hashtag in April (where people imagined ol' Spicey using his patented spin on famous movies).

Here are some of the funniest ones we've seen so far. It's almost too easy.

Author, activist, and social worker Feminista Jones came out will a surprisingly obvious, remarkably effective way to troll dudes.

That's right: simply accept compliments. In a world of catcalling and negging, men don't know how to react when a woman says, "Yeah, I agree that my ass looks fine today."

Nothing weirds dudes out more than accepting their compliments...it catches them off guard, as if women are not supposed to like themselves.

"It's not a new idea, but in my own experience when [a man] complimented me and I say, 'I agree,' they get upset," Jones toldBuzzFeed."It’s the idea that they bestow the compliment on you, and you’re not supposed to be aware of it."

Women shared screenshots of times they put Jones's strategy to the test.

A lot of men just really don't know what to do when a woman expresses confidence or agency.

Many men act confused, or even angry.

Jones explains that while confidence is celebrated in men, it's viewed as vain or conceited in women.

What if Leia was first to say "I know" when Han said "I love you," huh?

"Why are people so bothered by someone having self-confidence and self-love?" Jones added. "We have a culture that says it’s 'rude' — we obligate people to be appreciative of a compliment."
