The Internet Is Ruined The FCC has voted to repeal Net Neutrality. So what does that mean? That means they can ruin the internet. They can let Internet Service Providers slow your internet, charge you more and cut off vital information. It’s a disaster. Nobody is pleased about it, either. There are ways to resist for sure, like this: I trust everybody who text RESIST to 50409 — Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) December 14, 2017 DO IT! So take a look at the reactions, the people fighting and what’s next.
A s both parties implode amid charges of sexual harassment and assault , Minnesota may provide a ray of hope for people of color, who have been under attack by the Trump administration. RELATED: Rep. Keith Ellison: ‘We Were Held In Slavery Longer Than We’ve Been Free’ Keith Ellison , 53, the first Muslim American elected to the U.S. Congress and the first African-American to represent The North Star State, is said to be under consideration to replace outgoing Sen. Al Franken. Franken resigned this week in the midst of allegations of sexual harassment, according to media outlets. But for those of you who do not know, Ellison is a real one. It's time to #DraftKeith ! Keith Ellison authored legislation to tax Wall St., he's an ardent supporter of #MedicareForAll and he fights for workers!

Before becoming an elected official, he worked as a lawyer with the law firm of Lindquist & Vennum , specializing in civil rights, employment, and criminal defense law. He then went on to work as executive director of the Legal Rights Center in Minneapolis, a non-profit organization that specialized in representing clients living in poverty. He also supported H.R. 40 , a measure to Study Reparation Proposals for the African-Americans Act, that has been introduced since 1989 by Rep. John Conyers , who recently retired in the widening sexual assault scandal. Under the proposal, Congress examined slavery, its lasting effects, ramifications on future generations, and how the United States should address the issue. He also warned a panel on ABC’s This Week about President Donald Trump, when few people saw it coming. Indeed, Ellison seems poised to take up the mantle of the civil rights movement where Conyers left off.

Kento Nara/Future Image/WENN.com An NYT Op-Ed Suggests Trump Is An Accidental Buddhist, And People Aren’t Having It Ben Dolnick, a writer for the New York Times, is getting completely obliterated on this fine Friday afternoon after an opinion piece he published about the Cheeto-crusted chump-in-chief . The title of the piece is “Donald Trump, Accidental Buddhist” which is already problematic, but when the NTY Opinion account tweeted another caption with the link to the article it made things even worse. When Trump refers to himself in the third person, is he expressing not a personality disorder but an intuitive grasp of the subtlest Buddhist teachings? https://t.co/8iwLcuTpQL — NYT Opinion (@nytopinion) December 8, 2017 This is Twitter–so seeing a headline like this definitely isn’t going to drive people to go and actually read an article. Off of the suggestion alone that Trump might have any sort of grasp of Buddhist teachings, the New York Times and the author of the piece are being dragged back to journalism school. Though some people in the replies are saying that the headline doesn’t necessarily reflect the point of the entire piece, most didn’t make it past the idea that Trump doesn’t have a personality disorder or that he preaches anything taught in Buddhism. The New York Times printed this? — Eddy Roger Parker (@eddyrogerparker) December 8, 2017 Who’s going to read past this laughably incoherent headline? — DestroyTheGOP (@GenXResistance) December 8, 2017 Hit the flip to see even more people dragging Ben Dolnick, the NYT writer who thought this story was a good idea. One thing is for sure–if Donald Trump was ever a Buddhist, he would believe in karma, and we can only hope that he’s got a lotttttt of bad karma coming back at him very soon.
As an aspiring rapper, 22-year old Spencer Sleyon has likely been involved in many rap battles. But the young New York resident has reached viral fame thanks to a different kind of battle: The one he has engaged in often via Words with Friends… with an 81-year old named Rosalind Guttman. The latter is a resident of Florida and the Internet is going bat $hit bananas over Spencer and Rosalind finally meeting face-to-face, following over 300 installments of their online Words with Friends contests. Ready to get to know the people at the center of this most unlikely of friendships? Scroll down to learn their inspiring story… 1. Say Hi to Roz and Spencer The 22-year oldand 81-year old started talking in earnest after Roz used the word “Phat” while playing Words with Friends, which is essentially the same as Scrabble and which enables one to do battle against folks one knows… or against total strangers. 2. A Phat Friendship “I was like, yo, how do you know that word?” Sleyon asked Roz, making the first real contact between the pair outside of the game. They soon got to talking often, while continuing to go at it on Words with Friends. 3. How Many Times Have They Played? Over 300, Spencer estimates. That’s about once every other day, starting from last summer up through this late fall. 4. Who’s Winning Overall? It’s sort of close, but Spencer does want the world to know he’s put in front at the moment. Look at those stats, though! 5. After All This Time… …. Spencer and Roz have finally met! The former touched down in Florida and, as you can see above, gave a giant hug to his online pal. 6. How Did This Happen? The meeting was up by a pastor in Manhattan who knew Spencer and learned of his unexpected friendship with Roz. “I’m all for just experiencing stuff, I was like ‘yeah,'” Sleyon said when asked if he wanted to meet Roz. “I love random occurrences, I thought it was cool I was able to befriend her.” View Slideshow

Matt Lauer has finally addressed the actions that prompted NBC to fire him in the middle of the night on Monday. Two days after he was let go due to what network executives deemed to be ” inappropriate sexual behavior ,” the long-time Today Show host has issued a lengthy statement. He doesn’t deny very much about what has been said about him in it. Through his own publicist, Lauer said the following this morning. We’ll just go ahead and run it word-for-word: There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC. Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly. Repairing the damage will take a lot of time and soul searching and I’m committed to beginning that effort. It is now my full time job. The last two days have forced me to take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws. It’s been humbling. I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I thank them for their patience and grace. Lauer, of course, is the latest major name in Hollywood to be accused of some kind of sexual harassment or misconduct. Sparked by a report that exposed producer Harvey Weinstein as a serial predator, victims have been inspired for weeks to come forward. As a result, A-Listers such as Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K. and Charlie Rose have been exposed, accused fired or all of the above. But Lauer is probably the biggest name so far, considering how long he had served as lead anchor on Today, greeting millions of viewers every morning. There had been rumors for years that NBC might let him go due to alleged attitude problems and falling ratings. Not due to the sort of allegations that are now surrounding the embattled star. He reportedly sent co-workers sex toys and demanded they be used in his presence. He reportedly dropped his pants in front of underlings and asked them to perform a sex act. He reportedly bent a staffer over a chair in his office and had sex with her against her will, to the point that she passed out halfway through the interaction. These accusations are way past the point of the occasional inappropriate or misguided touch. It seems truly astounding (and confusing and depressing) that such actions could have been going on for so long at such a major program; without colleagues either knowing or caring enough to do anything about them. And it’s beyond disturbing that Lauer may have actually committed these acts, of course. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired? Today remains the most-watched morning program among viewers between 25 and 54, the demographic most coveted by advertisers in news programming. Lauer had been the head anchor since 1994, earning more than $25 million per year with his new contract. It’s unclear at the moment who will take his place alongside Savannah Guthrie each morning, but that’s not really anyone’s focus right now. We’re just trying to figure out what happened at the show, how it went unreported for so long… and whether we’d feel bad if Lauer were hung by his toenails for the next several hours. Upon dismissing Lauer, NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said the following: “On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer… “Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected, and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender. “We are deeply saddened by this turn of events. But we will face it together as a news organization – and do it in as transparent a manner as we can.” We’ll continue to keep readers apprised of this horrible story as it develops.

Since Thanksgiving is based on the coming to America Pilgrims, befriending and earning the trust of Indians, before taking over their land in bad deals, basically treating them like livestock, sterilizing their women, trying to assimilating them, calling them savages, you know feeding them drugs and alcohol to destroy their people, who lived in a communal and amazing way, in touch with nature….but luckily now we have cities, and taxation, and poverty, and rich evil men where there were once forests and animals…suburban subdivisions, malls, sky scrapers…money money money…make that money….medication, shitty non-organic, chemical filled foods we feed our kids…and the whole thing is fucked… I figure why not post a hot Indian Deepika Padukone….from XXX Vin Diesel movies….because Indians are what we need to celebrate today…not the WHITE TURKEY EATING FAT AMERICAN AN HER CORN MEAL CASSEROLE AND VARIETY OF STORE BOUGHT PIE FROM HER RETARD SCOOTER CUZ SHE HAS NO FEET THANKS TO DIABETES….#America.

As you've no doubt heard by now, Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child. We think. Kylie has yet to confirm that she's expecting , and a surprisingly large contingent of fans believe that's because she's not actually knocked up. Why would she engage in such a foolish stunt? What makes Kylie's biggest fans think she's misleading the public? And why the hell won't she just come out and say whether she's pregnant? Join us as we put on our Sherlock Holmes caps to answer these questions and more: 1. Body of Evidence Kylie is keeping mum on the issue of her rumored pregnancy. That hasn’t stopped her from posting on social media, of course, but as you can tell from the photo above, she’s been going to great lengths to conceal her midsection. 2. Deceptive Selfies? Naturally Kylie is still posting selfies, and fans are putting them under the microscope in search of a baby bump, but thus far, no solid evidence has emerged. 3. Kylie’s Closeup Kylie obsessives are so desperate for proof they’ve cited THIS photo–a closeup of Kylie’s face–as evidence that she’s knocked up. We kid you not; several fans have commented on Kylie’s “obvious pregnancy face.” 4. Snapchat Slip-Up? Of course, it’s impossible to post on social media as often as Kylie does without occasionally revealing more than one wants to. Some fans think Kylie messed up with this Snapchat post from early November that appears to show her buying tampons. 5. Offspring Bonanza Others think it’s suspicious that three Kardashian women are expecting children at the same time … and that the news coincides with a recent decline in the family’s popularity. 6. But Why Would Kylie Lie? Obviously, the Kards aren’t averse to publicity stunts, but a fake pregnancy would be ridiculous even by Kris Jenner’s standards. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from compiling a number of theories as to why Kylie would pretend to have a bun in the oven … View Slideshow
This just in: Not all famous people are loyal. Some cheat. Many cheat, in fact. And, in turn, the people with whom they cheat become famous themselves. Below, for example, is a rundown of well-known men and women who allegedly slept with celebrities while those celebrities were in relationships… 1. Sara Leal Sara Leal was the 22-year old who told Us Weekly all about the time Ashton Kutcher had sex with her in a hot tub…while he was still wed to Demi Moore. 2. Rachel Roy She sort of outed herself as Jay Z’s mistress after Beyonce released an album titled “Lemonade” that clearly accuse her husband of cheating. (We said Rachel Roy, people. Not celebrity chef Rachael Ray.) 3. Rachel Uchitel Patient zero of the Tiger Woods scandal. She later went on to serve as David Boreanaz’s side-piece. 4. Ava London London’s dalliance with Hank Baskett is still stirring up drama. We hope for her sake that she’s working on scoring a reality show deal. 5. Cady Groves Cady Groves was a little-known singer songwriter…until she (allegedly) broke up the biggest marriage in country music. We don’t know if Cady is any good when it comes to writing country songs, but she sure knows how to live one! 6. Chloe Bartoli Photos of Chloe canoodling with Scott Disick led to the reality star getting dumped by Kourtney Kardashian. She still says the pics were misleading, and nothing happened between them.
