Donald Trump's America is a scary place. It's one in which Muslims feel scared to walk the streets and facts lose all semblance of importance and actual meaning. But it's still a place in which adorable animals reside, and where these adorable animals can still put a smile on the faces of all who gawk at them. We were reminded of this non-alternative fact after the Washington, D.C. zoo Tweeted a photo of a four-day-old female seal pup in order to announce the little guy's birth. From there, a Norfolk, Virginia woman threw the down the gauntlet, challenging the Virginia Aquarium to give us its most precious example of a resident. And then back and forth the places went, until citizens were once again given a reason to remain hopeful about the country in which they live… 1. The Tweet That Started It All Really, this would have been enough. Just ogling this young fella would have made us feel better about the universe. 2. But Then… … national hero Sarah Hill stepped in. She challenged her local aquarium to enter the adorable fray. And we were off! 3. Challenge Accepted! With an otter/osprey combo? Well played, aquarium. 4. A Bornean Orangutan Infant? And he’s endangered?!? Good luck topping this, aquarium. 5. Fold?!? They just went all in, with a TINY TURTLE! 6. That’s the Best You’ve Got?!? We don’t even need to say a word in response. A simple action will suffice. View Slideshow
It’s been a busy week for the ladies of Teen Mom 2. On Tuesday, Jenelle Evans gave birth to her third child , a daughter named Ensley Jolie. The very next day, Chelsea Houska gave birth to her second kid , a boy named Watson Cole. There was talk of Chelsea stealing Jenelle’s thunder , which is insane, when you consider that we’re talking about the creation of human lives here … … but not that surprising when you consider that this is Jenelle Evans we’re talking about, a woman has spent the last decade testing the limits of how much insanity society will tolerate. Anyway, Teen Mom 2 fans appear to be much more enthusiastic about congratulating Chelsea than Jenelle, and it seems that enthusiasm extends to the ladies’ castmates as well. “So so happy for Chelsea Houska and her family! Cannot wait to hold baby boy!” Kailyn Lowry tweeted just minutes after news of little Watson’s birth went public. Kailyn offered no such kind words to Jenelle the day before, and fans were quick to take note of the possible passive-aggressive diss. Many pointed out that Leah Messer re-tweeted a photo of Chelsea’s bundle of joy, but made no mention of Jenelle, meaning that none of the TM2 girls acknowledged that Evans also welcomed a new addition to her family this week. “Weird how none of the girls congratulated Jenelle….” tweeted one fan. “Y should any of them congratulate Jenelle when they’re not friends w/her?? That’d be so fake & stupid,” commented another. One fan completely missed the point and assumed that the snub was a result of some sort of misguided slut-shaming: “I don’t see y hate on Jenelle bc if Kail has another kid she’ll b in same boat 3 baby daddies,” she wrote. This person has apparently never seen an episode of Teen Mom 2. The other moms don’t distance themselves from Jenelle because she’s has three baby daddies. No, they distance themselves from Jenelle because she’s a bitter, hateful, violent human being. Interestingly, Jenelle probably believes that she’s reviled because of her promiscuity and her past addictions, but the fact is there are many legitimate reasons to dislike her and she provides us with more every day. We offer our congrats and we hope that Jenelle is able to provide her kids with the stable family life they deserve. But you need only to watch Teen Mom 2 online to be reminded of why her co-stars might not be rushing to congratulate the Carolina Hurricane. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Baby Photos: FIRST LOOK!
Piers Morgan is standing behind his very public disdain for the Women’s March. On Saturday, across the globe, millions of women (and many men) protested the Presidency of Donald Trump, wearing pink cat (that is, pussy) hats, holding up signs and making their voices known. Over three-quarters of a million people turned out in Los Angeles. Over a half million in Washington D.C. The overall numbers were staggering. But Morgan was unimpressed. “Imagine if there were a load of men-only marches today? The feminists would go crackers,” the talk show host wrote yesterday morning, later adding: “I’m planning a ‘Men’s March’ to protest at the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists. Who’s with me?” That would be the irony, of course. That would be the best thing that could happen. Morgan absolutely should organize a Men’s March to combat the creeping global emasculation of his gender by rabid feminists. And then we can sit back and see if it attracts the same number of people as a march aimed at promoting freedom of choice… equal pay for both genders… and reproductive rights. In response to a great deal of backlash online, Morgan said it was all for protesting and all for feminists. But he’s also for his own freedom of speech to criticism the protests and he’s strongly against “rabid feminists,” adding in a series of Tweets: There are far better ways to challenge Trump than marching around in pink pussy hats. I fully support their right to protest, just as freedom of speech gives me the right to criticise the purpose of their protest. 53% of American white women voted Trump. I bet half these ‘pussy’ protestors didn’t vote at all. Let’s be honest, ladies.. today’s Women’s March is just an anti-democratic protest at Trump winning the presidency. One of the main reasons Hillary lost was that she & her supporters exuded air of entitlement to her becoming being 1st female president. Ashley Judd: Watch, React to Her “Nasty Woman” Women’s March Poem Morgan also took aim at Ashley Judd’s popular speech (above), specifically how she said Trump has “wet dreams” about his daughter, Ivanka. And Morgan REALLY went off on Madonna, who did say in her speech (below) that she had thought about blowing up the White House. “Publicly threatening to bomb the White House is a serious criminal offence. @Madonna should be arrested,” Morgan wrote, later using this as an example of how the March was hypocritical across the board: “Bomb threats, Hitler & incest taunts, foul-mouthed rants…and this was a march to ‘End the hate’? Shameful hypocrisy.” Madonna: I Want to Blow Up the White House! As you might expect, Morgan heard it from his fair share of critics on Twitter in reply to these remarks. Some kept it simple (“Being threatened by strong women is not a good look for you.”), while others may have gone a tad overboard, such as this Tweet: “The next time Piers Morgan is trending I hope its because he’s been crippled and impoverished. He should have to die slowly like that.” But Morgan – who has slammed Jennifer Aniston for others judging her and spoken out passionately in favor of gun control over the years – was unfazed by the negative feedback. Sounding a lot like Donald Trump, in fact, he pointed to his growing number of Twitter followers as proof of… well… something. “UPDATE: I’ve attracted 10,000 new followers in 24hrs. Thanks, ladies!” Morgan wrote this morning. Where do you stand on Morgan’s controversial takes? He said he is “amused by all the fulminating outrage at my suggestion of a Men’s March, especially from women. Kinda proves my point… “Just need @KimKardashian & @emrata to post bird-flipping topless selfies to support #WomensMarch for the farce to be complete.” Morgan’s Twitter follower count may be on the rise, but is his popularity? Does that even matter in a age where the President himself brags about Twitter followers and simply insults the heck out of anyone who doesn’t like him? Sound off below. Then go drink a lot of alcohol.

Wait a pancake-flippin minute, IHOP! What just happened?!? Based on a Tweet that's gone viral, the breakfast-themed restaurant just slammed the heck out of millions of Hillary Clinton voters. What did the chain say/do on social media to give this strong impression? And how is it trying to finagle its way out of this scandal? Read on. Find out! 1. Good Morning… and Eff You! Excuse us, IHOP? This controversy started after the chain’s official Twitter account very clearly re-Tweeted a message from someone who thinks Clinton fans need to shut up, get over their bitter feelings and pretty much try do their part to #MAGA. 2. Prepare for That Pink Slip! As proven here (and in the messages below), this re-Tweet did not go unnoticed. 3. We Were Hacked! Yes, IHOP used the old “We were hacked!” excuse. We’d love to meet the hacker who decided that it would be worthwhile to break into IHOP’s Twitter account, only to re-Tweet a single anti-Hillary message. 4. Can You Smell It, Twitterverse? Smells like some prime BS, doesn’t it? 5. We Have So Many Questions Or, really, just one question. 6. The Cover-Up is Always Worse Than the Crime Someday, people may understand this. View Slideshow
