Woman's boyfriend threatens to leave her when she demands he wash his hands. The internet has some thoughts.

$

Sometimes your partner's nasty - and not in the good way. One woman took to Reddit with a relationship dilemma recently and it grossed out the Internet for multiple reasons. The primary reason should become clear very quickly:

There a lot to unpack here. Of course there's an age gap of a decade. If you're 23, you're not mature enough to date a 33 year-old...or in this instance, this 33 year-old isn't mature enough to date anyone. A decade-long difference isn't a dealbreaker necessarily. I'm sure a 43 year-old and 53 year-old would have lots of lived experiences to discuss. But 23 and 33? What would a man who saw 'Scream' in theaters have in common with someone who just graduated college? That's red flag #1.

But let's get back to the REAL issue: the lack of hand-washing. What is it with people abstaining from hygienic practices? Washing your hands after using the bathroom is Cleanliness 101. Even if you're willing to jeopardize your health, it violates a basic social contract; hygiene doesn't just keep us well, it's a basic courtesy to those around us. Every person this guy encounters is unwittingly interacting with his pee pee-hands. Not cool.

Perhaps the most egregious detail is that this man is a DOCTOR. That's right! This physician, an alleged steward of society and healthcare professional, refuses to wash his hands. How does his brain contain that cognitive dissonance and not explode?

Needless to say, the Internet had reactions in spades. People were as disgusted by this guy's filth as they were by the warped power dynamics of his relationship.

Not to belabor the point, but: break up with him! You must, anonymous advice seeker. You're too young to put up with that nonsense - and more importantly, you deserve someone who doesn't treat basic hygiene like a chore you've assigned him.


Woo-woo presidential candidate Marianne Williamson's old tweets have become a meme. Goddess bless.

The author Marianne Williamson immediately took the Democratic debate stage by fire Thursday night with her unconventional oeuvre, and the pressing sense that she was about to float off into the night sky on a dragon or a magic carpet.

Williamson, who has previously penned such books as The Law of Divine Compensation and Healing The Soul of America, immediately became a meme on Twitter for saying presidential candidates need to stop focusing on plans, and start focusing on the power of love.

"Trump is not going to be beaten by someone who just has plans, he's going to be beaten by someone who has an idea what this man has done. This man has reached into the American people and harnessed fear for political gain."

She then went on to directly address "Mr. President" and say that "only love can cast that out" and she is personally prepared to cast it out.

Williamson also, at one point said that if she was elected she would immediately call the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern and say "girl, you are so on" before getting tips on making America a safer and better place to raise children.

Needless to say, she has hit the internet by storm and people are beyond obsessed with her GOOP meets motivational speaker meets ayahuasca dealer energy.

One of the most beautiful meme-ifications of Williamson so far is a viral thread that merely posts a series of her old tweets, all of which speak for themselves.

These tweets truly show Williamson's spiritual, philosophical and political range.

In one gorgeous tweet, she says all we need to understand America is another viewing of Avatar.

She is a strong believer in reaching collective higher vibrations, and verbally encouraging the grass to grow (at its own pace of course).

She also believes in cultivating a loving, symbiotic relationship with the universe.

Williamson also has a connection to fellow goddesses and believes humanity shares a collective pregnancy.

Truly, the thread of her old tweets travels as far as her love relationship with astral planes.

Needless to say, regardless of how far Williamson makes it as a candidate, she has quickly amassed an enormous gaggle of new followers, ready to take in her words, even if we don't know what they mean.

Millennials are roasting baby boomers by posing as them on their favorite website, Facebook.

Baby boomers love to complain about how millennials are "the worst" because we're "killing" everything except avocado toast (a life-sustaining food and all we can afford), and we're "always on our phones" (donating money we don't have to Planned Parenthood to save our rights as the world burns around us). It's enough to make you want to rage-tweet a bunch of angry emojis!!!!!!!! But humor is the best antidote to rage. And one way millennials are clapping back at the world's most condescending generation is by mocking them, specifically mocking their inept use of social media, specifically on their favorite website, Facebook. Remember when Facebook was cool? There was a magical era before mom and uncle and grandma came along with their Jesus memes and hilariously incoherent comments. Well there is now a Facebook group devoted to making fun of them. And the results are so funny that they'll make you feel almost as good as you possibly can when the planet is dying faster than your bank account balance.

Someone named @manhattana on Twitter joined the Facebook group and tweeted out a bunch of screenshots of her faves. They are so funny they'll fill the void that financial and emotional stability never will.

If these don't make you laugh-cry, you're probably a baby boomer, in which case you don't know what this website is about and are already probably yelling at me in the comments (JK I love you mom!!! Thank you for reading my "little articles"!!!). Here are some of the gems:

Woman drags her dead sugar daddy in viral eulogy and claims he's haunting her.

$

In most cases, eulogies paint the deceased as their best selves - flawed but loving, needy but affectionate, outrageous and yet undeniably memorable. However, in some cases, those left behind have to scramble to find a positive word to say, and an honest indictment feels more respectful than a forced farewell.

The latter certainly applies to the death of Brad, a sugar daddy memorialized in a brutally honest way by his former sugar baby Amanda Drago, whose pen name is Lydia Dupree, and porn name is Melina Mason.

According to a report from Buzzfeed News, Drago met Brad back in 2012 through an escort agency, and they quickly started a sugar baby and daddy relationship.

While Drago wrote that Brad was a fantastic financial support, his personality and ways of navigating the world left much to be desired, and when he died she felt a wave of relief.

Since Drago wasn't public about her relationship with Brad while he was alive, she waited until the one year anniversary of his passing to make a post about him on Instagram.

Little did she know, it would eventually go viral.

In the post, Drago did not hold back from revealing exactly what Brad's nature was like, and the fact that she never enjoyed him while he was alive.

"Exactly one year ago, my sugar daddy Brad passed away. He was 47 and died because of a heart attack and untreated diabetes. We had an incredibly toxic relationship and ultimately I wish I never met him. As horrible as he was, I am sitting here and trying to dig up a good memory to remember him on this day."

Drago went on to thank him for the Louboutins and Birkins he bought her, but also called out an instance of drug-fueled assault.

"So here it is: Brad, you bought me my first pair of Louboutins, my first Birkin and my first and only race horse 🏇 You understood the value of my time and for that, I honor you with my time today by making this post for you. I still don’t forgive you for taking me out of the will after you attacked me while you were on whippets."

She ended the post by revealing that her long-time boyfriend was in fact that man Brad assumed was a "gay bodyguard" and referenced the fact that Brad haunted her after his death.

"However, you knew I would always be okay and yes....I’ve been living a double life this whole time with the guy you thought was my gay bodyguard and I’m also an author and serial entrepreneur. So, let’s call it even. I will finally visit you one of these days. Rest In Peace. PS please don’t haunt me again. -Demanda"

As for the haunting, Drago uploaded a Youtube video describing the times Brad haunted her after his death. However, it is now deleted.

While the video itself is now removed, Drago's anecdote about Brad haunting her has already permeated the ghost loving zeitgeist.

In the video, Drago shared how she asked her boyfriend to stay the night with her because she knew Brad's ghost would make an appearance.

"He haunted me. Oh, so scary. So the first night he died, my man came over. And he slept with me. Cause I told him I was scared, I said ‘Brad’s going to haunt me, please spend at least the first night with me’."

"So he came, he stayed with me and everything was normal. And then the next night I was alone. And right here on my dresser, I heard – oh, it was two nights. He haunted me for two nights in a row."

Drago shared that with her boyfriend by her side, she was safe from Brad's ghost. But the second night, when she slept alone, she could hear the former sugar daddy in her room.

"So, the first night, I was sleeping in this bed. And there was a dresser next to me. And it was literally right on the edge of the dresser, and it was [knocking sound] And that’s exactly what happened. The dogs went crazy."

"So again, sleeping in my bed and low key hella paranoid. And I heard a sack of money slam on the dresser, and change spilling all over the floor."

She heard the sounds of coins and felt his presence and knew it was Brad.

Understandably, the eulogy and story of haunting has made huge waves on the web.

RIP, Brad, you brought a lot of color to the internet.

Woman shares how other women helped her escape attempted kidnapping on a date.

Saying "no thanks" to a date you're not vibing with can be a scary task for a straight woman. Rejecting men, statistically comes with dangerous backlash ranging from full-on murder to aggressive verbal and online harassment. In a best case scenario, a woman is still likely to get pangs of guilt and discomfort as you hurt someone's feelings.

Because of the high rates of violence against women, and the fact that women are often derided for not giving men a chance romantically, we're often wise to listen to our gut when in potentially dangerous situations.

The Reddit user steviethunder1012 listened to her gut during a terrifying recent date, and may have saved herself from full-on kidnapping.

In a post on the Am I The Asshole subreddit, she shared how she ditched a shady guy mid-date.

"AITA for ditching my date and causing a scene?"

"I’m 19F and my date was 25M, I was a regular client of a buddy of his who is a tattoo artist and he had seen me get tattooed by him once as he came to visit while I was half way through my session."

In the post, she shared how she got an Instagram message from a friend of her tattoo artist. They bantered online for awhile before deciding to meet IRL.

"I get an IG message from him, found it a bit odd as to how he would’ve found me since my page is super private, my username isn’t specific at all to my real name and I have 40 followers. He explains he’s so and so’s friend and we end up speaking and have great banter, we seem to really get along through text, it’s hard for me to keep up a consistent convo through text so I’m excited and we plan to meet up."

When they met up her offered her some of his spliff, and after that she immediately felt extremely high.

"We catch up to hang out and he offers me a drag from his spliff, I take a few drags and after a little while can tell it was a mistake. I smoke semi regularly but it hit me very differently this time around. We’re in his car driving around and he proceeds to ask me questions and we talk."

They got in his car to drive around, and he revealed he was an ex-con and started making terrifying statements about how women lie about rape.

He also asked OP a series of prying questions about how much money she had, and whether anyone knew she was with him.

"I study justice so he’s telling me how he’s an ex con and is out on parole yet still engages in illegal activities, then goes on about how women lie about s*xual assault 99% of the time, that’s when I freak. he makes a comment about how high I am then jokes about robbing me and leaving me in a ditch, at this point I start to get really scared. He keeps asking if anyone knows I’m with him, who I live with, how much money I make & how much I have on me etc. Just weird questions. I was under the influence (big mistake) so my reaction IMO was much more extreme. I was scared and wanted to jump out of the car, the undertone of the convo was very off. My perception was exacerbated by drugs but safe to say I was genuinely scared."

She immediately felt a pang in her gut, tried to act calm, and spent 20 minutes convincing him she felt sick before he finally pulled over.

"I hid my unease and tried to convince him to pull over somewhere so I could be around people and also so he wasn’t DUI, he didn’t want to and kept driving but after 20 mins of convincing him that I felt sick and needed to sit down, we pulled up to a restaurant."

When they got to the restaurant she walked ahead of him and immediately found three women and asked them to pretend to know her.

"I get out of the car and start walking ahead of him up to the restaurant as he’s taking a phone call. I go up to 3 women and say as to not cause a scene “I’m really scared, can you help me and pretend to know me” they catch on and can see I’m upset. I sit with them, he catches up with me after his call and the women start telling him they know me and my mum wants me home, he says he’ll take me home but they are very firm. He addresses me quite angrily and asks “who does your mum think your with?” The owner gets aware and told him to leave and he ended up leaving."

He ended up causing a scene and got kicked out by the owner. Now, OP has brought her story to the internet for their opinion on how she handled it.

"I felt guilty since I had gotten along with him and he’d taken the time to see me, I’m not 100% sure if I was in danger and if I could’ve stuck through it and left amicably instead of unintentionally causing a bit of a scene which was embarrassing not only for him but also me. I tried to have tact in the situation and didn’t have the confidence to be straight forward but wonder if in hindsight it would’ve been better to tell him I was uncomfortable and wanted to leave."

"Edit: Some of you are saying this is a validation post or would be better suited to other subreddits, I’m super new to reddit but thought that most predicaments are pretty much fair game for this subreddit? Correct me if I’m wrong please. I genuinely wanted to to know if my reaction was rude, if there’s something wrong with me for getting freaked out the way I did and if I’m the AHole for handling a bad date this way. I see that this isn’t as polarising as some other posts but unlike on here IRL I had very mixed and negative reactions. Hence why I got on here and despite all that, I do appreciate the support and validation (ngl) from people saying I did the right thing even though it didn’t necessarily feel like that in the moment."

Obviously, no one thought she was an asshole, since this man sounds like a predator aiming for something sinister.

QueenMoogle thinks OP did a great job protecting herself and also could have called the cops.

"NTA holy shit. That guys sounds like a MAJOR creep, and likely dangerous. You did the right thing. Never apologize for making a scene if it's to ensure your safety."

"Edit: TBH I would have called the cops. But that's just me.

Edit Pt II: You could contact his parole officer, honestly. I don't know if that'd be taking it too far. But you could."

orionescens pointed out that in the rare case this man isn't violent, his "jokes" were more than enough reason to run.

"I just gotta tack on, who the fuck would ask questions like that? Or joke about shit like that? MF psychos. NTA (×100000000). NORMALIZE SAYING NO. NORMALIZE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE AND WANTING TO LEAVE."

ArtemiSphynx suggested OP tell her tattoo artist about what a creep his friend is.

"Dude NTA!! Comments like that are a HUGE HUGE red flag! Not to mention he is basically breaking parole doing that stuff, your lucky it wasn't laced! You handled it tactifully and the fact that you had to convince him for 20 fricken minutes to stop is scary! Count yourself lucky and block him on EVERYTHING. and I would have a brief conversation with your tattoo friend ensuring he does not get convinced to give any details about you in the future"

As pointed out by OP and most of the commenters, there is no question here on whether she was an asshole. She was a smart woman using her gut to save her from a potentially dire situation.

Demolished at the debate and another racist gaffe: A recap of Joe Biden's no good, very bad week.

$

Joe Biden was the frontrunner to win the Democratic nomination to get cyberbullied by Trump until this week, when a sub-optimal debate performance had donors bailing and people wondering if Uncle Joe was really more of a racist grandpa.

The president is an alleged rapist and proud white supremacist, so naturally every bucket of pee looks golden text to a stinky turd, but Biden's campaign is without-a-doubt floundering with its case that Biden is the guy to take Trump on.

In the most talked-about moment from Thursday's debate, Senator Kamala Harris peeled off his skin and then burned him alive.

"As the only black person on this stage, I would like to speak on the issue of race," Harris began.

In what is likely to be among the most-played soundbites of the next year, Harris addressed Biden directly on his opposition to federally-mandated busing to integrate public schools:

Vice President Biden, I do not believe you are a racist, and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground.

But I also believe, and it's personal — and I was actually very — it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.

And, you know, there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bussed to school every day. And that little girl was me.

He must have known he was bombing, because he decided to yield his time after a little back-and-forth.

In insisting that he was not, in fact, racist, Biden sure sounded pretty racist.

Speaking at a conference organized by civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, Biden argued that he's so non-racist, he just makes assumptions based on sweatshirts.

That's right, in trying to prove his racial justice chops, he decided to use stereotypes and slurs, saying, "We have to recognize that kid wearing the hoodie, may very well be the next poet laureate, and not a gangbanger."

Excuse me, sir, what is the problem with hoodies? It's impossible to mention hoodies in a racial justice context without immediately thinking of Trayvon Martin, who was shot by George Zimmerman in the street by wearing that "suspicious" outfit.

In a sign of solidarity after Martin was murdered, the hoodie became a symbol of injustice and the Black Lives Matter movement in 2012. Biden can't be expected to be familiar of the main events of the 2012—he was only vice president at the time.

Also, "gangbanger"? What is this, West Side Story?

Biden was also humiliated on matters less important than civil rights.

Eric Swalwell (who? Doesn't matter) called him old right to his face.

He also got a taste of his own medicine when he found out how much it sucks to have someone invade your personal space.

When someone tries to smell your neck.

Maybe it's not enough of a campaign to be Barack Obama's friend?

The thirst is real.

Man edits photos of girlfriend for hilariously petty revenge, goes viral.

Ah, love. What a gift! A privilege, really. But serious relationships aren't without their share of challenges. Creating a life with someone - or as I think of it, incorporating a person into a lifestyle that I refuse to change - can be difficult. True emotional intimacy demands that we confront partners with issues and remain transparent about our feelings. But true emotional intimacy isn't easy to achieve - and what if pettiness is your preferred method of coping?

At least one man can relate. @Tgflx1 edits photos of his girlfriend to make her forehead larger when she's irritated him. He posted the results on Twitter to the delight of thousands.

I assume she's self-conscious about her forehead? Or it's an arbitrary way to warp her appearance that's appropriately vengeful? Hard to say - he didn't include much information about their relationship. But if he's able to manage anger through Photoshop and a little creativity, I'm not judging.

The girlfriend weighed in, predictably.

Hilarious.

All of which begs the question:

A male lawmaker tried to shut down his female colleague as she spoke on the Senate floor. She persisted.

Men: why are they like this? That's the question I found myself asking after watching a video from NowThis News today. It depicts a scene from the Pennsylvania state Senate in which a Republican shouts over his Democratic colleague for almost three minutes. The Hill offers an excellent rundown of the entire situation and its context, but regardless: the optics are bad for conservatives. Like, embarrassingly terrible.

Senator Katie Muth was reading a letter from John Boyd, a former homeless man whose life had been changed by a state program the Senate was considering eliminating. Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman was none too pleased and made that clear by yelling. A lot.

Muth was defending a program that assists some of Pennsylvania's poorest residents, so Corman's actions weren't applauded on Twitter.

Note to dudes: angrily screaming isn't the only - or the best! - way to communicate displeasure. You can catch more flies with honey, etc.

Singer who showcased her 'natural' breasts in awards show outfit prompted backlash online. She's unapologetic.

$

Who doesn't love breasts? To babies, they're functional. To adults, they're decorative and fun to look at. They're a built-in accessory that make everything from t-shirts to ball gowns a LEWK. Ta-tas of all shapes and sizes deserve your respect. But thanks to misogyny and the objectification of women, that's not always how things go down.

If you're surprised that breasts aren't necessarily perky or perfectly round, you haven't seen enough naked women IRL yet. Despite what rigid beauty norms and pornography would have you believe, breasts vary greatly in shape, size, and placement on the chest. Most pairs aren't entirely symmetrical. As a woman with (natural) breasts of my own, that's not shocking. But an upsetting percentage of people think boobs that don't resemble Betty Boop's don't exist, or shouldn't be displayed.

After wearing a (gorgeous) low-cut dress to this year's BET Awards, singer Tanerélle faced criticism online. Detractors said she should've covered up her décolletage, or 'lifted' her breasts if they were going to be showcased. She absolutely wasn't having it. A woman after my own heart/breast!

She further addressed the controversy on Instagram.

View this post on Instagram

According to some I missed a critical step yesterday when getting ready. What they don’t know is I literally had a fat ass piece of tape stuck from the bottom of my left boob to the top of my shoulder, looked at it & made a conscious decision to take it off because I actually loved the way my natural breasts looked in comparison to the “perfect” option....last time I checked what I thought about how I look was all that mattered, so I’m gonna keep going with that cause it’d be fucking impossible to please EVERYONE when it comes to ME. I can’t be everyone’s favorite and I don’t wanna be, but as long as I’m able to go home and feel yummy about myself, especially from the self hate that I’ve spent my life growing out of...I’m fucking GOOD. What I do care about is noticing that so many women are still stuck in a daze of self hate, people pleasing and projecting how you feel about you in an attempt to make someone feel the same. What I care about is that there are women out there still allowing the male gaze to determine their worth and what they can and can’t do. This reminder of socialized minds in regards to a woman’s body always rocks me a bit, but it’s not gonna knock me down. It just intensifies my mission of pushing self care and self love even more. You owe it to yourself to at least try to embrace the parts of you you don’t like because someone else said you shouldn’t. Your body, no matter what it looks like is doing all it can everyday to keep you alive and thriving, that to me deserves all the fucking love and care I can give, so I’m gonna. Cheers to the tits!!! small tits, big tits, fake tits, no tits, all tits! And cheers to being a fucking woman. InWomenWeTrust 🌹🕊

A post shared by Tanerélle (@tanerelle) on

While many people echoed her sentiments on Twitter, some still refused to see the light. As our Beloved Leader would say: sad! But in all seriousness, it *is* sad to see women internalize misogyny in a society that devalues them. It's even sadder to see men reinforce the idea that women's bodies serve one purpose: turning men on. F*ck that noise.

Bras off to Tanerélle, a gorgeous woman who won't modify her natural breasts for anyone's comfort. It's time for society to log off Pornhub and engage with women whose bodies can't be contained by narrow, unimaginative beauty standards.

Trump interpreted the term 'busing' literally and embarrassed everyone. Sad!

If you watched the second night of the Democratic debates, you were likely impressed by Kamala Harris's standout performance. She took Joe Biden to task for his racist history, which includes opposing federal busing to integrate public schools.

Yesterday Trump was asked to comment on busing and the controversy surrounding it, and his response was breathtakingly stupid. Though not known for his expertise on the civil rights movement, his take on the subject still shocked people, because...well, just look at this:

Honestly? His response was Michael Scott-levels of cringe. People couldn't hide their secondhand embarrassment. Yikesapalooza!

Jesus. I shouldn't be laughing, but I can't help it. Is this a new low for Trump's in-office gaffes? Hard to say, as there are so many to choose from. But his statements help reveal the depth of his non-knowledge. He probably thinks Obama invented taxes and the moon landing was directed by Steven Spielberg. Very silly, as we all know it was directed by Stanley Kubrick. Duh!

Canadian cartoonist fired after his controversial Trump comic goes viral on Twitter.

Canadian cartoonist Michael de Adder drew a picture of Trump playing golf, and asking if he could play through an area with two dead migrants laying in the water. The image was borrwed from this hearbreaking photo of a drowned father and daughter trying to reach America.

At the time of publishing the artist's tweet had over 5000 likes and almost 9000 retweets.

DeAdder said that because of the Trump cartoon he was fired by the Canadian newspaper he freelanced for.

You can see the illustration here:

Reactions were mixed.

After allegedly being fired, deAdder wrote on Twitter, "The highs and lows of cartooning. Today I was just let go from all newspapers in New Brunswick."

The newspaper had apparently never seen his Trump comics before, although he had been publishing them for some time.

Brunswick News, the paper deAdder freelanced for said in response, "This is a false narrative which has emerged carelessly and recklessly on social media. In fact, BNI was not even offered this cartoon by Mr. de Adder. The decision to bring back reader favourite Greg Perry was made long before this cartoon, and negotiations had been ongoing for weeks.”

DeAdder later tweeted, "The hardest part in all of this, I have a mother with dimentia in NB who has a hard time remembering her family at times. But she knows her son draws cartoons.

If you needed a reminder that the world is actually an ok place full of decent people, this story can warm even the iciest of hearts.

When a mom, Alexa Bjornson, sent her autistic son alone on a plane to visit his father in Portland, Oregon, she was worried that he might bother the person sitting next to him. Or worse, she was worried that her son might not feel comfortable traveling by himself. To make sure that her son felt safe, she sent him off with a ten dollar bill and a note to his seat neighbor explaining the situation.

What she didn't expect, was that the note she received back would restore her faith in humanity.

Today my son took his first flight to Oregon to see his dad. I sent Landon with a letter to give to whoever sat next to...

The mom's post was:

Today my son took his first flight to Oregon to see his dad. I sent Landon with a letter to give to whoever sat next to me saying he has high functioning autism so he might be nervous and ask you "are we there yet" a lot, and please just make him feel safe and comfortable, with 10 dollars in the note. And this is what I just received ❤❤❤ I am so grateful to this individual, and that there are still kind people in the world who make a difference like I try myself to do as well. Thank you so much Ben!!!!

The stranger seated next to her son, Ben, make sure his mom knew he was well taken care of during his flight.

Ben's post read:

Alexa,

My name is Ben. I was Landon's seat neighbor for his flight to Portland. He did ask if we were there yet several times but he was a great travel buddy. We had a good time and played a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors. He's a great kid and you're a lucky mom.

I appreciate the ten dollars, but it wasn't necessary. I donated it to Austin-Society.org in honor of Landon.

Have a great day!

While he did ask Ben a few times if they were there yet, Ben was happy to help.

Alexa's Facebook post immediately went viral and was shared 13,000 times. Turns out, people are in desperate need of good news these days...

Thank you for being a good person, Ben, and Alexa, we're so happy your son had a safe and happy flight to meet his dad.

While most people were incredibly supportive of Alexa's son's journey, a lot of people thought it was irresponsible of her to send her autistic son traveling alone.

However, we don't know her financial situation or work schedule. It might have been impossible for her to travel with him, and we should probably all keep our judgments to ourselves.

Also, good to know I'm not the only one who thinks this gentleman looks like Don Draper.

Piers Morgan got dragged when he claimed Ivanka Trump is more qualified than 'bartender' AOC.

Piers Morgan tried to come for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over the weekend, and unsurprisingly to anyone who pays attention to her social media presence, it immediately backfired.

Morgan's attempted diss came on the heels of a viral clip of Ivanka Trump. In the clip, Ivanka is seen trying to edge her way into a conversation between Emmanuel Macron and Theresa May at the G20 summit. The clip of Ivanka trying to wedge herself in feels particularly awkward and on-the-nose given the fact that she only works at the White House because her father is president.

When Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez critiqued the clip of Ivanka, and what it says about political nepotism, Morgan decided to swoop in with a low blow.

Rather than genuinely engaging with Ocasio-Cortez's critique of Trump' unprofessional handling of the G20, and Ivanka's unqualified presence there, Morgan made fun of Ocasio-Cortez's previous job as a bartender.

This immediately backfired when Ocasio-Cortez and her followers pointed out the flaw in Morgan's logic.

People were quick to point out that having career experience across the board only makes you more qualified to represent constituents with diverse experiences and needs.

On top of that, people noted that Ocasio-Cortez was actually elected to be a Congresswoman, while no one voted for Ivanka for anything.

Of course, no failed take down of Ocasio-Cortez is complete without the naysayer (in this case Morgan) getting dragged.

In a different world, I would assume this exchange would cause Morgan to steer clear of coming for Ocasio-Cortez. But given the obsession with her, and Morgan's love of a good internet fight, it seems unlikely.

'Unwanted Ivanka' meme goes viral after no one wanted Ivanka Trump at the G20 summit.

Ivanka Trump attended the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, over the weekend. According to ample evidence circulating on Twitter, she was very much not wanted there.

For a taste of how world leaders felt about having the U.S. President's daughter crash their summit for the fun of a photo op, may I present this photo:

As if that's not embarrassing enough, a somehow even more humiliating video went viral in which Ivanka tries to enter a conversation with a group of world leaders including: Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau and Teresa May. It did not go well for her.

This video looks like if the mean girl from high school had to experience how she made every less-popular kid in school feel all at once and in front of the entire globe.

But the internet was not done dragging Ivanka's unwanted participation on the world stage. Far from it. Journalist Erin Gloria Ryan called out on Twitter for people to use their photoshop skills to insert Ivanka into all kinds of other historic moments:

The internet, of course, delivered. May I present, the #unwantedIvanka meme. It's everything the internet wanted, and beyond.

Ivanka even made it into some historic fictional moments as well:

Great work, the internet. Next up, can you please photoshop Ivanka Trump and her entire family out of the actual White House and American politics? Thanks!!!!!!!!

First dates can truly be a make or break experience. In the best situations, you connect with a cutie and feel a spark you haven't felt in a very long time. A cinematic soundtrack plays in the back of your mind, and you start daydreaming about the unpaved future between you and your first date boo.

When things go wrong, however, first dates can feel like a truly bleak reminder that unsavory people exist in the world, and healthy romantic love is a scarce resource. There are really people out there

In a recent Twitter thread, the writer Sarah Kelly asked followers to share their worst first date experiences, noting that her personal dating experience is still relatively limited.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, a LOT of people were able to deliver horrible first date stories.

14. Racism is a big deal breaker.

15. Casual sexism also kills the mood.

16. Don't vomit in the beer.
