Memes turn on Donald Trump as Scumbag Steve says Donald Trump is the true scumbag.

Blake Boston, the dude behind the infamous “Scumbag Steve” internet meme, channeled his inner Kanye on Monday. He went on a huge rant, telling Buzzfeed that his oafish online identity is nothing compared to Donald Trump. He called The Donald: “one of the biggest scumbags around.” Boston told the website:

He’s that asshole scumbag that insults someone’s physical make up and thinks he’s got a good comeback. Calling people fat, short, ugly, poor, smelly, a dummy, et cetera, are what his pubescent mind thinks are character flaws. So many of his put-downs involve what Trump must feel are physical deficits in himself. And the irony is that he wants to sue anyone that he feels disparages him. He can call people out but he can’t take it. So much so that he wants to fuck with the First Amendment. Who the fuck but a scumbag would mess with that?

Boston ended his rant by saying: “Damn, let’s hope I don’t get sued. The man’s a liar. Plain and simple he lies. Scumbags lie.”

He also took to Twitter to express his hatred for Trump, telling his some 6k followers that voting for the 2016 Republican presidential front-runner is a huge no-no:

Boston not only called Trump the "quintessential internet scumbag," but also called him  a "serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, [and] bully." He joins Humans of New York journalist Brandon Stanton as one of the most recent Internet critics of Trump's antics.

Blake Boston rose to Internet stardom in 2011 when a ridiculous-looking photo of him as a 16-year-old donning a cap backwards surfaced online. According to The Hill, the photo was taken at his house in Medford, Massachusetts by his mother. Here's one of his glorious memes, below:

Ya know, just one of the many blessings of being Scumbag Steve.

“Ever since I started to embrace it, I’ve thought that maybe it happened for a reason, that it’s a blessing in disguise,” Boston told the Globe in 2012.

The meme presumably became one of the most prevalent digital posters in Internet history—so much that his baseball cap was photo-shopped onto a couple of celebrity memes as as well. Take a look:

If Boston can't convince you that Trump is a scumbag, perhaps this 10-year-old boy will?


Tinder accidentally deleted all matches and users cried a thousand tears over their lost work.

On March 14, a day that won't soon be forgotten, the "dating" app Tinder briefly experienced technical issues that according to The Independent resulted in all matches disappearing.

https://twitter.com/Tinder/status/709470268276641792

Men and women on the prowl lost months, or years even, or their hard-earned right-swiping work. What were they to do? Express their wild anger on the Internet, of course.

All that time and thumb work gone in a second. What an emotionally devastating event.

Fortunately, the matches—and true love—weren't lost forever.

A Reddit user shared two photos of a couch with the simple heading: "Almost sat down on a couch in a house for sale." Unfortunately, the user has since deleted his/her account, so the full story of how this person avoided imminent danger is unclear. The second photo makes it relatively self-explanatory as to why it wouldn't be a good idea to rest one's weary feet on this piece of furniture.

The couch is made of cozy cardboard.

Ideal for people who don't want an overly-supportive seat.

While a few on the Reddit thread, like Its_Beerdy, point out that using cardboard boxes is somewhat standard for certain staging objects like beds, it still seems to be a weird practice. Isn't it normal for people who are interested in a home to want to take a seat and envision their life there for a moment?

Even more expected is that someone who tagged along to the open house gets bored AF and wants to wallow in boredom and think about their life in a seated position. Real estate agents: the unamused masses like to sit down without collapsing into the ground.

Chloë Grace Moretz defended her reaction to the Kim Kardashian nude selfie situation in infinite loop that will never end.

Remember way back last week, when Kim Kardashian posted her nude selfie, and then some famous people sort of criticized her on Twitter, and then Kim Kardashian fired right back at them? Of course you do. Well, in an interview with Elle on Monday, one of said famous people, actor Chloë Grace Moretz, 19, explained why she tweeted what she did.

First, a quick recap: when Kardashian tweeted her nude selfie on March 7, Moretz replied: "I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than just our bodies."

https://twitter.com/ChloeGMoretz/status/706986603810394112https://twitter.com/ChloeGMoretz/status/706987946633637888

(You'd think she could condense all that into one tweet, but nope, guess not.)

And in response to that, Kardashian called the young actor out in her own tweet:

https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/707082941386461185

Ouch. It's unclear if Kardashian is referring to the fact that Moretz is wearing less than a lot of clothing on her recent December 2015/January 2016 Nylon magazine cover.

Either way, some people definitely know who Moretz is, because she's got over 2.2 million followers on Twitter.

After Kardashian's initial tweet to Moretz, a lot of Kardashian's fans piled on her, claiming she was "slut-shaming" Kardashian. Moretz defended herself on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/ChloeGMoretz/status/707011823686393856https://twitter.com/ChloeGMoretz/status/707011849158402049

Which brings us to the present, when Moretz, a self-proclaimed feminist, told Elle:

All I'll say is that I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot of ways. And I think if people open their minds more, and they try to look deeper into something than just something that is a very big, hot, fiery button to hide behind...I think if people looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they wouldn't be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things.

When asked what advice she'd give young women on social media, Moretz stated: "Depict yourself adequately as what you want to be seen as... Just be yourself, be you, and don't be afraid to speak your mind."

The only thing to do now is wait for Kim's reaction to Moretz's reaction to Kim's reaction.

Beyoncé fans destroyed Amber Rose for even saying the sacred name when discussing double standards.

In an interview with the Daily Beast during SXSW, Amber Rose made some refreshingly real points about double standards and how Channing Tatum was a stripper (which is always a good thing to recall). Unfortunately for her, it also set off an absolute firestorm.

Aside from Kim K. and Kanye, Rose dropped the name Beyoncé in her interview, which set people off in a way that Rose probably didn't foresee. Rose—who led a SlutWalk in October to protest all the mud slung at her and other women—was simply making a point about double standards, specifically regarding herself and Kim Kardashian, she of the nude selfie.

They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had a sex tape. So if we could sing, it would be OK if we were on stage half-naked. We all love Beyoncé, but she’s on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, oh, she has talent so she’s able to do that. We don’t have the talent that Beyoncé has, so we get criticized as former sex workers, but at the end of the day we’re just women—we’re all women—and we should all embrace each other. No one is greater. We’re all the same. So, to criticize us as incapable of being smart businesswomen because Kim has a reality show and I’m a socialite and we don’t sing is stupid. We’ve both been in movies, and we take our acting, business ventures, and everything else very seriously.

No one gives a fuck that Channing Tatum was a stripper. He’s an established actor who’s at the Vanity Fair parties and the Oscars, but for me, no matter how far I go in my life, I see these stories that keep referring to me as a ‘former stripper.’ No one says ‘former stripper’ about Channing Tatum, or ‘former McDonald’s worker’ about Brad Pitt. No one does that to men. And furthermore, if a man was to post a semi-nude selfie in the mirror—like The Game, for example—everyone is like, damn, you’ve got a big dick, or damn, you’ve got a nice body. Nobody says, damn, Kim had a fuckin’ baby and that bitch looks bangin’ as fuck! Nobody says that!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCzY_cfkq3I/?taken-by=amberrose&hl=en

Despite all the positive feelings she has for Kim, the two moms likely won't be taking selfies together any time soon.

"The thing is, me and Kim will probably—I won’t say we’ll never be friends, but we accept each other for who we are, and that’s the most important thing as women," Rose said.

As to Kanye, the hope for a reconciliation is even more far-fetched. "I don’t get along with her husband—I don’t think we’ll ever be the best of friends—but it’s good that we understand who we both are, got all that shit out on the table, and can just move on with our lives knowing that the Internet is mostly what gave us the beef we had."

The most recent flare up between the two occurred over Twitter, and involved Rose's ex, Wiz Khalifa, and some butt stuff. But according to Rose, it's all drama that the Internet created for entertainment. And entertain it did.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBvrxK7Eq_Y/?taken-by=amberrose&hl=en

Now Rose is amusing the Internet once more, if inciting fury falls under that category. Upon grouping herself, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé together by bringing up the very true fact that they are all women, Rose invoked the wrath of the BeyHive. Seriously, people FREAKED OUT because Rose named Beyoncé.

https://twitter.com/goddessyonce/status/709735143146184704https://twitter.com/RaquelWillis_/status/709781203809918977https://twitter.com/frenzychilly/status/709760800391610368

https://twitter.com/kayla_kynard23/status/709727851537424384

The BeyHive has been disturbed. Run, no one is safe.

Let's re-visit what exactly Rose said about Queen Bey.

We all love Beyoncé, but she’s on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, oh, she has talent so she’s able to do that. We don’t have the talent that Beyoncé has, so we get criticized as former sex workers, but at the end of the day we’re just women—we’re all women—and we should all embrace each other.

Squint hard to see the shade or direct comparison, and all you'll find is Amber Rose trying to make a point about societal standards.

If you’re a Disney fanatic who happens to be walking the streets of Australia’s capital city, look Up! Some incredible human being created a hot air balloon inspired by the Disney movie, and it is currently flying with 40 others at the 2016 Canberra Balloon Spectacular

Carl and Ellie would be so proud.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BC6RHxMTXRS/

According to BuzzFeed, the balloon’s official, nerdy name is “Cameron TR-84,” and it is composed of “600 tiny balloons sewn into its outer skin.” Apparently, the hot air balloon with so many teeny weeny baby balloons is small compared to average-sized hot air balloons. The website said that the primary balloon “is 84,000 cubic feet in size.” 

The balloon was made in Bristol, England and is being manned by pilot Simon Askey. It will fly in Canberra between March 12 and 20 before making its way to Angel Falls.  

Is the movie's dog Dug there, too?

Gigi Roders is a makeup artist and online eyewear entrepreneur that uses her outstanding skills with makeup to turn herself into pop art. She not only looks like the art that inspires her, she actually becomes part of it, and practically disappears like camouflage. If she ever needs to hide, all she needs is a wall tagged with street art.

She told Mashable that the inspiration for her new work was none other than singer and model Grace Jones:

I was flipping the Internet when I came across Alexa Meade's artwork, where she transforms people to look like 2D living paintings. At the same time, I was looking at iconic photos of my spirit animal Grace Jones. So naturally, in my head, I thought, 'I wonder if I can paint myself to look like Grace Jones.

She certainly can paint herself to look like Grace Jones, and just about any other pop art creation she lays eyes on. Super-talented makeup artists can do just about anything, and Rodgers is masterful:

Mariah Carey's brother calls her a 'witch' for not paying her dying sister's hospital bills.

Mariah Carey: apparently not just a diva. She's also, according to her older brother, a "witch" for not even helping to pay for her seriously ill sister's hospital bills. "She probably spends more on dog food than it would cost to make sure her sister gets properly cared for," said Morgan Carey to The Sun. In Mariah's defense, her dogs are probably as fussy about their food as she is about having Cristal in her rider.

She can't be your hero, baby.

"Mariah needs to step up," Morgan continued. "I flew in from Hawaii last year when Alison was taken off a ventilator, believing she was going to die. My sister didn’t even show up at the hospital."

“Thankfully Alison had a miraculous recovery but now she needs brain and spinal surgery and will be going into hospital any day," he said. "Alison has desperately reached out to Mariah over and over again. We never hear back."

Morgan said he had not spoken to Mariah in two-and-a-half years.

"I told Mariah my wife had miscarried and she never even responded to that email either," he continued. "But that’s typical, because the world has to revolve around Mariah and there is no room in the world apart from her."

But, you know, at least she never licked a donut

Mariah's camp has not issued any statement on the matter.

The thing about tattoos is that they're permanent. You'd think that would convince people not to get pop culture-based tattoos, but nope. A lot of people are somehow unaware that pop culture is disposable and ephemeral, which is why the Internet is full of hilariously passé tattoos like these.


1. Stickin' to the pigs.

"I was just so angry back then."

2. Does this tattoo make Robert Pattinson look fat?

This tattoo sucks BECAUSE HE IS A VAMPIRE LOLZ.

3. Play him off, Keyboard Cat.

Ah, but now it is you who are played off, Keyboard Cat.

4. A timeless classic.

But individually, these tattoos are kind of okay.

5. Share and share alike.

We're very sorry we had to censor this.

6. We'll always have Paris.

Even though the stars are blind.

7. Isaac, Taylor, and Zac.

"Does it hurt?" "It's burning up." "Shut up."

8. Regrets on a Man.

Like the movie, it seemed fun before it actually happened.

Less than purrrrrrrfect.

11. Too cold.

If you've got a problem, lasers will solve it.

12. Looks just like a bad Zooey Deschanel tattoo.

This person has probably got a Left Shark tattoo, too.

13. It's like a WWJD tattoo, but a reminder to keep it Gangnam Style.

Every time he looks at his tattoo, he psys.

Look at this young woman. Does she look familiar? She might (depending on your age), because she's got really famous parents and she looks so much like them. This is Ava Sambora, the 18-year-old daughter of Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora (yes, from Bon Jovi).

Ava is attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, and according to her Instagram account, she also spends a lot of time at the beach. And some of it is for her job as a model.

Hillary Clinton and Chris Matthews talked to each other thinking their mics were off. They weren't.

A rare moment of spontaneity from a political candidate not named "Donald Trump" occurred accidentally when presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and MSNBC host Chris Matthews were caught on tape talking into mics they believed were shut off during a commercial break at a Democratic town hall. And no, Clinton didn't say anything about cutting Obama's nuts off, unlike other politicians famously caught on a live mic. Actually, Clinton comes across as pretty likable, throwing shade on Chris Christie like everyone else in both parties:

"Did he have a debt?" Clinton wonders about Christie, speculating about why he'd endorse Donald Trump. Come now, Madame Secretary, not everyone who lives in New Jersey has to take drastic measures to deal with debts that no honest man can pay, despite what Springsteen sings about. She saved her harshest words for Trump, though.

"You guys can’t stop covering him," Clinton told Matthews, scolding his network for the attention it gives the Republican presidential frontrunner. "He is a dangerous presence and you know, it is just like candy by the bushel."

Of the pair, Matthews comes across as far worse, making fun of Chris Christie for the way he sits in a wingback chair as an overweight man, talking about the "travel around the world group" he was in with Ben Carson and the "guys that invented DNA."

(Editor's note: while we're pretty sure the "guys that invented DNA" is a reference to James Watson and/or the late Francis Crick, we are unaware of any secret club to which all those men belonged—but it's not like we know a lot about secret clubs.)

Matthews also speculated that the New Jersey governor has no future in politics unless Trump wins the presidency. On that last point, at least, Clinton seems to agree with Matthews. "I don't think he could win right now," she admits about a future election for Christie.

The very last question by Matthews, before the mic cuts out: "Did you watch the end of Downton Abbey?" Sadly, the world will never know Clinton's answer.

University of Florida student Patrick Mims really decided to go for broke in finding a date for his upcoming school formal. Instead of asking any of his classmates, he set his sights slightly higher, to America's girl next door: Jennifer Lawrence. But he knew that he couldn't sway J. Law with any ordinary promposal video. (Formalposal?)

Instead, he compiled every red flag he could think of into the creepiest, eeriest, and most vaguely threatening invitation video he could make. This thing has it all: blue body paint, a garbage bag worn as a shirt, and burning effigies, all set to a soundtrack of ominously discordant music and lyrics that are just slightly off the beat. Put together, the combination is terrifying.

Congratulations, Jennifer! You've got an exciting opportunity coming up for you on April 1st! And if not, you'd better go into hiding now. Before it's too late.

Woman who went viral for exposing her scars interviews others about living with theirs.

Michelle Elman is something of a scar expert. She's got her own, yes, from 15 surgeries tied to a "brain tumor, a punctured intestine, an obstructed bowel, a brain cyst, and a condition called hydrocephalus." But she's also an expert in body positivity, using her own experiences to create Mindset for Life and help countless folks overcome their own struggles with body image.

This inspiring human recently utilized her expertise to conduct several touching, sensitive interviews with other thoughtful humans about their scars, compiled in a video called "Scarred Not Scared."

"I went through years of bullying at school," said one woman, left with scars all over her body from a bout of "spots" that started to appear when she was six. "Parents especially... when I had the spots, they would be like, they would think I was dirty. I'm not dirty, I just have spots. I still wash. I probably wash more than anybody without spots does."

It seems like the subjects of the video were able to completely open up, likely because Elman has been in their position—albeit even more publicly. Here's one of the photos she shared nearly a year ago, which went viral.

https://www.instagram.com/p/5E5FmRO_q1/

Part of the comment on that photo explains her journey towards accepting her body:

PEOPLE WITH SCARS CAN’T WEAR BIKINIS

This is what I have believed for the last 21 years of my life and when asked in January why I never wear bikinis, this horrible sentence came out of my mouth. I was shocked - at myself! I had had 15 surgeries, a brain tumour, a punctured intestine, an obstructed bowel, a cyst in brain and have lived for the last 21 years with a condition called Hydrocephalus yet somehow my scars have always been the hardest part. They make already awkward moments in your adolescence even more uncomfortable - like taking your top off for the first time in front of your boyfriend, and made me feel even more isolated in a world where I felt no one could understand.
At age 7, I tried on my first bikini and after receiving a range of reactions from disgust to pity, it soon became easier to hide away and be doomed to a life of tankinis and one-pieces. Why did I believe this? Because over the years, I have learnt that my scars make people uncomfortable. I had become ashamed of my body and soon other people’s disgust became my own and this was allowed to be the case because of one simple reason - I had no one to talk to about it. 
Well in January, I started to talk about it - all of it, and I want other people to join in on the conversation. Every human has scars, whether there are emotional and physical - they are part of our story and we should be proud of them. 

A particularly interesting part of the video is when a man with scarring on his arm explains how different it can feel to be a man with scar than a woman: "One reason it's hard for me to empathize with everyone with scars is that, being a guy, having... a scar is a quite manly thing, and so I don't really mind it. In fact quite a few people have said, you know, 'That's quite cool.'"

That's in contrast to a comment on Elman's viral Instagram photo that she told BuzzFeed about, in which someone said "Are you going to do any more campaigning about your weight?" Elman told BuzzFeed, "I didn't even mention the word 'weight' in any of my Instagram posts. People see what they want to see."

Of course, there are men with different experiences and different feelings towards their scars, but this particular comment—"a scar is a quite manly thing"—seems to highlight the special difficulty of dealing with the issue as a woman.

If anyone needs help dealing with body issues related to scars, a good place to start might be Elman's website, Mindset for Life.

Peeling sticky notes is sort of like living life: people often start from the bottom. When it comes to sticky notes, peeling from the bottom results in the note curling upwards, though. Thankfully, Dutch software development manager Martin Schapendonk uncovered the method that will save you from that unfortunate curl.

Conventional wisdom is such:

Bottom's up!

The way to do it, however, is to peel from the side.

Please pardon the coffee stain.

The difference is remarkable:

Whoa! The side method yields a flat sticky note!
Drake would be proud.

You better ask Romy and Michelle how they peel it at the next high school reunion.

This past February, Paris freaked out on social media and talked about the insurmountable pressure she receives daily from fans. She basically told them to chill out and destroy any assumptions they may have of her. She apparently made a comparison to the media struggles her dad faced—saying that her father was "ripped to shreds daily."

Aside from waging verbal war on her online haters, the teen's Instagram is filled with inspirational quotes and selfies.

Because that is what any cool teen's Instagram is made of.

It's your first day on the job, and you showed up looking a little too casual for the office. Don't you wish you remembered the dress code? Well, if you had an eidetic memory—more commonly known as a photographic memory—you probably wouldn’t have forgotten.

Eidetic memory simply means extremely precise memory. If you've ever wondered if you have one, you're in luck: there is an eidetic memory test making the rounds on the Internet.

The test prompts you to stare at two different images, then combine them. Sounds easy, right? Well, according to neurology professor Barry Gordon from the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, many people who flaunt having exceptional photographic memory don’t actually have it. "Even visual memories that seem to approach the photographic ideal are far from truly photographic,” he wrote in Scientific American.

Take the challenge yourself and see if you can prove that smartypants professor wrong.

Stare at this image for 10 seconds:

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...

Then, stare at this image for 10 seconds:

...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20!

Finally, combine both images in your head.

So, what letter do you see? Anything? Nothing?
