Our room for the coming days in Houston. I don’t even know what to say about this. This is just unreal. No words.

Huge huge thank you to JJ Watt for giving me and my friends the opportunity to stay at a place like this🙏🙏🙏

World Cup visitors being wowed by ranch dressing and free soft drink refills makes me feel like world peace could be possible

It's the 40th anniversary of Thornton Melon doing the Triple Lindy and winning the National Championship for Grand Lakes University.

The World Cup just proves that people around the world want to chill, drink, eat, and bullshit together

Being mad about people being on SNAP is embarrassing.
We have trillionaires now and you're worried about a single mom buying a candy bar.
Get your shit together.
Eat the rich.

I want a refund on every minute I spent in 8th grade learning that monopolies are illegal and that our government would protect us from greedy men....

Godspeed Gene Shalit. 100 years of being your own person and doing things your way.

My tribute is the SCTV Gene Shalit's Critics Special.

This video I posted has been viewed over 11 million times.

I would love to meet this man and buy him a coffee. He’d probably call it kahwa.

A couple of Germans on a road trip have done more to inspire patriotism ahead of America’s 250th anniversary than the entirety of the U.S. government.

An economy that makes it possible for a trillionaire to exist, while the average American can’t afford gas and groceries, is fundamentally broken and rigged.

Bo and Sunny had no idea they were living at the most famous address in the world. They just wanted scratches behind their ears, a patch of sun to lie in, and some wide open spaces to run. That energy is alive at the Obama Presidential Center.

Recently, @MichelleObama reflected on her family’s life in the White House. In this new video, she explains how part of the Life in the White House exhibit at the Museum featuring Bo and Sunny—-a playful comic strip called "Our Life in the White House"—was designed so every child, including those who can't see, can experience the joy those two brought to the White House.

"The fur is rendered in different textures, so a child can run their fingers across it and feel the comfort Bo and Sunny gave to us," Mrs. Obama said. "It's a reminder that home is being with the people—and pups—we love, no matter the setting."

The Obama Presidential Center opens on June 19 in Chicago's Jackson Park.

Nothing says “not a dying civilization” like gladiator fights at the capitol for the emperor’s amusement.
