Fani Willis Pushes Georgia Court to Reinstate Key Charges Against Trump: Report

Trump’s Poll Numbers Skyrocket, Joy Behar Starts to Crack [WATCH]

It’s like a big chicken tender, but fancy.

As the old show business adage goes, “never work with children or animals.” Neither really care about sticking to the script, and that unpredictability can’t help but steal the scene. But, hey, sometimes it makes for a hilarious skit. “Saturday Night Live”’s April 14, 2023 episode introduced us to "Enter Stage Woof, Dog Acting School,” where zany dog trainers Yolanda Batista (played by Ana de Armas) and Donna Colonoscopini (played by Chloe Finemen) advertise a “semi-accredited” acting school for pups who “know they’re hot” and are ready to take on Hollywood.While de Armas and Fineman worked well together, their six canine co-stars went completely off the rails.From Henry, the deadpan golden retriever who simply refused to show his face, to Romeo, to the collie who left poor Fineman on the stage with a mouth full of cold spaghetti after a “Lady and The Tramp” bit gone wrong, these doggos and their complete lack of cooperation kept the actresses on their toes. Watch:Absolute chaos right? But pure comedy gold. Folks in the Youtube comments sections seemed to think so:“Not a single dog did what it was supposed to do, 10/10.”“When SNL brings actual dogs onto a skit you immediately know it’s gonna be hilarious.”“When you got a 100% success rate at getting a dog to do the opposite of what you want it to, you know that is some top notch training!”Dogs might not always be the best actors, but they are natural entertainers.

Believe it or not, there's still controversy over hair and how people with kinky hair types can wear their hair in professional settings. There are only 19 states that have passed the CROWN Act, which bars the discrimination of protective hairstyles worn by people that have kinky hair types. There continue to be instances where children have been unable to walk at graduation or attend school, and adults that have been fired for protective hairstyles that are often seen as unkempt or unprofessional. The prevalence of discriminatory dress code policies that often include specific hairstyles means that for decades, in an effort to look "professional," women with kinky hair have used chemical straighteners, which have recently been linked to uterine cancer. While some still use straighteners, many simply hide their hair with wigs or weaves, and men may cut theirs off to find and maintain employment. But this practice makes for a lack of representation in the workforce for diverse hairstyles in professional settings, and that's exactly why KDKA news anchor Royce Jones wore cornrows to work. KDKA is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, news affiliate for CBS News, where Jones is a reporter and evening anchor. He typically wears his hair loose and curly but recently got his hair braided and wore them on camera.People that have very curly to kinky hair textures have more fragile hair strands and have to use different products and styles to protect it from breakage. Cornrows, box braids and two-strand twists are all examples of protective styles to keep hair from breaking. Nevertheless, wearing protective styles in corporate settings is still a novel concept, even as people in charge learn more about what goes into caring for kinky hair textures. That's what makes Jones' move so bold. While people are more accepting of different hairstyles, it's not often represented in professional roles, especially where the attire is classified as "business." Yet, here Jones was, wearing a suit and tie sitting behind his anchor desk with freshly braided cornrows.The anchor took to social media to express the reason he decided to wear his hair braided on air and thank people for their support. "Here’s a reminder to be the representation you wish to see (in any space)! Feeling confident, happy and proud wearing my braids this week! Thanks for all of your supportive/encouraging messages. And s/o to my stylist, Mia, for doing the thing," Jones wrote.The comments on his post were extremely supportive from fans and coworkers alike. Fellow reporter Briana Smith wrote, "Love it! You can rock anything & everything! Keep being you! That’s why people love you my friend!""Braids on KDKA!! You look fabulous! CONGRATULATIONS," one commenter wrote."Royce, you’re the total package, good looking as heck, a great desk reporter and field reporter and greatly entertaining when you “step out” of the narrow reporter box like you do with Ray…and the braids? Honey, you’re fire," another person said."I love that you challenge the old stodgy rules about what a news anchor looks like. You keep on rockin’ it," one person wrote.Clearly, Jones has the support of the masses in his decision to wear braids on air. Representation of protective styles in professional settings is desperately needed, and it's obvious people are happy Jones is helping set the tone. This article originally appeared on 6.15.23

Human civilization has its upsides and its downsides. On the one hand, we've built incredible cities filled with amazing buildings where people work and play and are entertained, we have infrastructure that connects people and places, and we enjoy conveniences that previous generations could only dream about. On the other, we have environment-destroying excess and capitalistic greed pushing us toward widespread inequities and injustices. And then we have libraries. The public library is one of the greatest inventions humankind has ever imagined and actually made happen. Libraries are perfect in concept and exceptional in practice. The idea that we ought to plop a building full of books to borrow wherever groups of people live is beautiful in its simplicity and the fact that we've actually succeeded in doing it is somewhat miraculous. Libraries are something humans have created that has stood the test of time and that we can be truly, universally proud of. There is nothing but upside to a calm, quiet place where any and all people can hang out and read, without having to pay anyone anything. A thread on Twitter celebrating the wonderfulness of libraries illustrates this point perfectly."Today a woman with developmental disabilities came into the library, and she said she was lost," wrote Twitter user @schaalfan. "She didn't know her address, but her phone number was in her pocket on a piece of paper with Elmo on it. She kept saying, 'The library is a safe place.'" We called and her guardian came right over. Apparently this happens pretty regularly. They even stayed long enough for her to check out some new books and Sesame Street DVDs. The library is a safe place indeed. — David (@David) 1646415938 "We called and her guardian came right over," they continued. "Apparently this happens pretty regularly. They even stayed long enough for her to check out some new books and Sesame Street DVDs. The library is a safe place indeed."Indeed. The post prompted others to share their own stories of libraries being safe places for them, and it's enough to warm even the hardest of hearts.For people who grew up in dysfunctional homes, the library can be a safe haven of calm and kindness.For people with disabilities, it can be a safe place where people are patient and kind. We are so touched and glad that we can be a safe place. It's so important to us to be a community hub where everyone feels welcome. — Tigard Public Library (@Tigard Public Library) 1646511819 Oh THIS reached tight inside my book loving heart and squeezed. I grew up in a library and remember that feeling of being peacefully home. What a gift to return to. I will tell my girls. Take me to the library. Take me to the sea.pic.twitter.com/rDKy5e46B5 — PattyBulgerDahlgren Vaxxed + Masked\ud83d\udc0b \ud83e\udd88 \ud83e\udd91\ud83d\udc2c (@PattyBulgerDahlgren Vaxxed + Masked\ud83d\udc0b \ud83e\udd88 \ud83e\udd91\ud83d\udc2c) 1646487462 For people lacking financial means, the library is a space that provides free education and free entertainment, as well as a free indoor place to go. Library funding has a fantastic return on investment for a community - they fill up a lot of gaps in other social services and help people find their way to information about other opportunities. \nAnd they\u2019ve mostly avoided the stigma other public services suffer. — Erika (@Erika) 1646494845 The library was my refuge too. I was the first one in my family to go to college. I learned that books were my friends and they opened the doors to so many possibilities. One of my most treasured possessions is my library card. #LibrariesEmpower #Libraries — Intravenous Coffee (@Intravenous Coffee) 1646509090 People also celebrated librarians—the stewards of these wonderful places and the books and people who reside inside them. Librarians are right up there with teachers in the "best" category. While the building and the books help people to see it's safer and give readers an escape, it's you and your colleagues around the world that make the Library safe.\n\nThank you all for being guardians, guides, and companions to children and adults of all ages. — Ethan Kristopher-Hartley \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa (@Ethan Kristopher-Hartley \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddfa) 1646468687 Libraries and librarians deserve all the love we can give them. When so much seems wrong with the world, we at least know we got this one thing right. (And some people also threw a little love for Elmo into the thread, too, for good measure. "Sesame Street" is almost as wonderful as libraries, after all.) My son is 24 with cognitive disabilities. Almost every day he asks if Elmo is coming over for lunch. He knows the answer, but he still has hope that one day I'll say yes. — Cheryl Boucher (@Cheryl Boucher) 1646463049 This article originally appeared on 3.10.22

If you watch the news all day, you’ll probably think that America is a politically divided, dangerous, bigoted, contentious, depressing place that’s slowly losing its grip on being a world power. That’s because there are very few media outlets that can stay in business reporting good news. (Unless they’re Upworthy, of course.)Humans have a negativity bias, so they are much more interested in hearing about the world’s problems than what’s going well. That makes it easy for them to develop a warped view of their country and the world that is much more negative than it should be.Thousands of people on Reddit came together to make people feel a lot better about being an American recently after a user named KyleB2131 asked, “What does America do better than most other countries?” The post received thousands of responses from Americans and people abroad about the things that truly make the country great.=A lot of the responses are about how America excels in innovation and has wonderful topography highlighted by a fantastic system of national parks. Americans are also incredibly creative and make the best entertainment in the world.“This may be one of my favorite Reddit threads of all time,” a Reddit user named BigPlainV wrote. “Being tuned in to American mass media makes me feel like I live in the most fucked up armpit of the world. This thread has single handedly made me proud to be an American again.”“The American mass media, I believe, is our biggest downfall,” circ2day added. “Because bad news makes more money than good news, that's all we get. Everything is aggressively sensationalized for the sake of getting views. This makes America look incredibly bad to outsiders.”Here are 17 of the best responses to the question, “What does America do better than most other countries?”1. "Turning corn into things that are not corn." — rlemon2. "I was going to say cornbread but everyone said rest stops. Have y’all ever had cornbread?" — Admirable-Ad-25543. "I love the Interstate Rest Areas on road trips. I'm a Canadian from the west coast, and was always VERY impressed with the 24/7 rest areas. Clean washrooms, nice grassy areas for dogs, picnic tables, and a lot of times people selling crafts, or offering free coffee!"I've only driven through the western states, (WA,OR,CA,NV,UT,AZ) but yeah, those rest areas were always reliable. Always well-marked signs when the next one was coming up. Just made everything about traveling easier! Thanks, neighbors!" — Ubba-Ga4. "Jazz." — PuzzleheadReveal585. "National Parks." — Big-Win6220SmellLikeSheepSpirit added:"Absolutely. People complain about crowds at the national parks, but this is somewhat by design. As you mention the American national parks are very accessible, they have handicapped trails. They have large educational visitor stations. They have viewpoints on the roads. They're meant to "market" the outdoors to the masses. They're a "park" much like an urban park is. Most have truly amazing drives that give a great sampling of what they offer."They also have amazing landscapes that see much less usage only a few miles out. People miss the point that they work for both the layperson/day visitor AND the person who will spend 5 days in a roadless wilderness. And of course there are wilderness designations for that reason."6. "Make sure there's ice in your beverage." -- HegemoniHarbingerDJ33 added:"I asked where the ice machine was in a hotel in Dublin and the woman at the desk thought I was damaged in the head. She'd clearly never, ever had anyone ask that before."7. "Buffets. No buffet I’ve had can beat the one’s I had in the states." — sueRiot8. "Music — The United States is the birthplace of Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Hip Hop, Punk, Bluegrass, Country-Western, Rap, and a half a dozen different forms of regional folk music. Nearly every culture in the world imitates our musical forms." — Mike the Bard9. "While we have a LONG way to go, the USA is comparatively better than a lot of places regarding supporting people with disabilities." — Kittenesque0210. "The ability of the American farmer to produce food. It is really staggering the amount of food that is grown here." — fat-dum-stoopid11. "Women's sports are really well supported here - so are female athletes. Despite many things Americans might say about it - if you go to other countries female athletics is really almost non-existent." — Juls724312. "America wins EVERY Super Bowl!" — Leyline13. "Air conditioners everywhere and free public restrooms. You have to pay to use the restrooms in Europe." — SnooDoughnuts23114. "Business. Hands down. It’s their biggest advantage in my opinion. Deals with Americans just get done easier. Compared to other countries American businesses are more open-minded to new things, don’t try to fuck you over, want a win for both sides, want simpler agreements, negotiate fairly, hold up their end of the bargain, etc."If you have even done business internationally you really see what a strong advantage it is. Other countries everyone is fucking everyone over, or are close-minded, slow as snails, and obsessed with bureaucracy. Commerce just flows better there." — Stopinstinker15. "Think big and be bold. I am originally from Europe where people often just think small." — throwaway3213219043216."Serious answer? Logistics. We're quite a large country and we've gotten very good at moving things around." — weirdoldhobo197817. "Chatting, I’m from an Asian country where most people will avoid talking to stranger. But you can literally talk to anyone you met in the street in the US and most of them are willing to talk." — _formosa_This article originally appeared on 9.9.22
