It started with an odd attempt at humor. A couple of weeks ago, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago to have dinner with Donald Trump, and while dining, the president-elect apparently suggested that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state. Canadian officials soon after confirmed that the Republican did, in fact, make the comments, but they assured the public that Trump was merely joking.

The transformation of Tulsi Gabbard from former Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate to Donald Trump supporter has confounded many. But statements in the past month from Mikki Willis, an infamous conspiracy filmmaker who claims to have been a close friend of Gabbard for over a decade, may help explain how the Hawaiian National Guard veteran has gone from being a supporter of Bernie Sanders to being Trump’s pick to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (...

We'd all like to believe that we know our pets. Every pet has their own distinctive look and even if they look like a sibling, they have different personalities making it much easier to identify one from another. But every once in a while there's a bit of a mixup where you see a cat outside that looks so much like yours you find yourself frantically darting out the door to let the imposter in while your actual cat is fast asleep under your bed. One couple's cat mixup went in a different direction. They brought their cat inside and piddled around the house for a few hours before settling in for a snuggle session on the couch. It was then that the cat's mom noticed a cat outside that looked exactly like their cuddly little guy.Instantly you see the confusion and concern register when they look closely at the imposter enjoying all the extra attention while the other stares from outside. Surely the real cat was offended that his own parents didn't know they were snuggling up to a generic version of him."Babe, look at the cat outside. That looks like you Rado, is that your brother?" the cat mom asks before appearing unsure if the cat in her husband's arms is actually their cat. Turned out the cat was not theirs and they quickly let the strange cat outside and scooped up their own cat. Commenters found the now viral situation hilarious.One person writes, "slight error in the cat distribution system."Another commenter says, "the way its body language is screaming 'kidnapped.'"Someone laughs, "the fact that the cat was going to play it off and continue his days as Rado.""Plot twist," a commenter writes. "Cats been switching places for months and they just noticed."In a follow-up video, Brandon Robert, Rado's dad, shows a photo of their actual cat and the imposter, adorably nicknamed "Fraudo" by another commenter. They're strikingly similar so it's easy to see how Robert picked up the wrong cat while not wearing his glasses. Thankfully all is well now and their cat is back inside where he belongs, but you can watch the hilarious moment of realization below.I didnt have my glasses on?? #cat #catsoftiktok @thebrandonrobert I didnt have my glasses on?? #cat #catsoftiktok What do you think? Would you get these two kitties mixed up?"Rado and Fraudo perfect siblings," said the comment on the follow-up video. Perfect siblings indeed. It doesn't look like "Fraudo" has moved in as of yet, but we'll keep you posted. This article originally appeared in January.

The holiday season capitalizes on all things light, bright and sparkly--something that Reddit user 1228maj's blind sister has missed out on. So in a touching post shared on the social media platform, she explained how she plans to make this year's holiday extra special and inclusive: enter puffy paint."My sister is blind. This year I’m making her Christmas wrap tactile with puffy paint!" she captioned her post. She accompanied it with a photo of wrapped gift in red, white and blue snowman wrapping paper. The photo shows the raised texture outlining the shape and details of the snowman, as well as snowflakes by the thoughtful sibling. from MadeMeSmile "She’s always a little sad that she can’t see the lights or gift wrap so this [year] I’m making it tactile for her as a surprise! I’m also going to use a velvety bow so that is tactile too," she added, describing her sister as her "best friend for almost 30 years now. She’s the best older sis ever!"The post garnered resounding praise for the strong sisterly love."This is what the holidays are all about, thoughtful gestures filled with love," another Redditor commented. And another added, "This is such a thoughtful idea! You’re bringing the magic of Christmas to her in a way that truly matters. She’s so lucky to have you!" And a number of blind Redditors also chimed in. "As someone who is blind, that’s amazing!" one wrote. And another commented, "I love this so much. As a fellow human on the blindness spectrum, I touch EVERYTHING! You are an incredible sibling for doing this.When asked what she got her sister for a gift, 1228maj replied that it's also a well-textured gift. "It’s a slate blue wrap/jacket kind of thing from a Christmas market we go to," she wrote. "It’s woven with silkier threads making a paisley design and a thick golden-yellow wool yarn running through it in places. It’s really cool looking and feeling!"The description spawned further questions from Redditors about her sister's vision and if she could see colors, "so 1228maj kindly explained her sister's journey into blindness."Growing up, she was legally blind but still had minimal vision (no vision in one eye and reduced field and very fuzzy view in the other) so she could see colors, especially if there was high contrast," she explained. "A few years ago though she had an infection in her eye that took the remainder of her vision. She actually still ‘sees’ colors and shapes in her minds eye. She describes it as a built in screen saver haha."Another user asked if 1228maj had ever considered working with an adaptive clothing company. She shared that she is a music teacher, however she has learned everything from her sister about helping those who are visually impaired. "My sister works for the state to support visually impaired students, so I learned everything I know about adaptations from her!" she added.The thread soon became a discussion of other thoughtful tactile touches to add to the wrapping, including using pom poms as ornaments on Christmas trees, snowflake 3D stickers, and small pipe cleaners to use for arms on some of the snowmen on the wrapping paper.The finishing touch for the present? "I’m planning to braille the card I’ll put on before I give it to her :)," she wrote.
