Guys, we’ve done it. We are all alive following the first presidential debate of the 2016 election season, and it was as terrifying and soul-draining as could be expected. All of the puke-inducing yet predictable factors were there, the man-shaped word vomitorium known as Donald Trump managed to insult Rosie O’Donell right before the end of the […]
Out of all the “whoa, what? huh?” things Democratic and Republican nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump said during the debate tonight, both candidates’ comments on race and the police came under additional scrutiny. Given the terrifying state of police brutality right now and for entirely too long before that, anything either candidate said was bound to carry more […]

Sometimes seeing an overly mushy couple can be a little cringeworthy, even if you are one half of a good couple. Because who is that in love all the time? Some people apparently are. In fact, all the times Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have been relationship goals would probably put anything you have going on to shame. These […]
On Thursday, the world was dealt what could be considered a heaping dose of karma when both George Zimmerman and Dylann Roof were attacked in separate instances. Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, was punched in the face at Gators Riverside Grille in Sanford, Florida, according to local police reports, coincidentally on the same […]
