Among the freaks and fetishists out there, there are people, who love to be dominated. For such people, dominatrixes have been around for awhile. But, times changed and demands changed along with them. Today, there is such thing as, the techno dominatrix; a person, who dominates over remote access. Meet the techno dominatrix mistress Harley.

This is why the Internet was invented, people. After news broke that IHOP (International House of Pancakes for the uninitiated) changed it’s name to IHOb (International House of Burgers), fast food burger chains couldn’t just sit on the sidelines. Wendy’s weighed on, but it was Burger King that decided to really burn IHOP, I mean IHOb, on social media.

“Pancake King.” Has a nice right to it, don’t you think? Burger King even changed their cover photo to this for a while:

Whoopsy daisy. You can probably go ahead and file this one under “Fail.” Just ahead of President Trump’s meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un, Fox News host Abby Huntsman, well, let’s just say she put her foot in her mouth.
Fox News just called Trump a “dictator”.
“Regardless of what happens in this meeting between two dictators…”
You got that one right!!!

Ouch. “Regardless of what happens in this meeting between two dictators…” Probably just an honest mistake, but still kind of hilarious nonetheless. And you know the people of the Twitterverse weren’t going to let this one slide.

But if you look closely, you can see the patterns of six other countries’ flags within the Norwegian flag. A demographics researcher named Simon Kuestenmacher pointed out the flags in a tweet.

It’s almost impossible for people over the age of 40 to imagine this happening in their schools when they were growing up. But, sadly, school shootings are such a common phenomenon in American schools so kids have to learn how to stay in place should a shooting take place. A mother named Georgy Cohen shared this poster from a kindergarten class.

The lyrics to the song read:
Lockdown. Lockdown.
Lock the door.
Shut the lights off.
Say no more.
Go behind the desk and hide.
Wait until it’s safe inside.
Lockdown. Lockdown.
It’s all done.
Now it’s time to have some fun!
Cohen’s tweet went viral and other Twitter users weighed in on the topic.

Before 1516, gruit beer was all the rage. What is gruit ale, you ask? Well, it’s beer that is made with an herb mixture as opposed to the hop-heavy beers that are so familiar today.

Back in the Middle Ages, many drinkers preferred their beer to be made with a variety of herbs such as ginger, lavender, and mugwort. The herbs played the same role as hops, giving the beer flavor and helping to keep out harmful bacteria.

But in 1516, everything changed. The conservative Puritan movement was in full force and Germany passed a law that declared beer could only be made from hops, water, and barley. Why get rid of the herbs? Because many of them were considered aphrodisiacs at the time, and the Puritans had a big problem with that.

And so, for the past 500 years, hops have dominated beer production. But gruit ale has been making a comeback lately. Scratch Brewing Company in Illinois released a beer made of dandelion, carrot tops, clover, and ginger. And a brewery in Estonia makes a special beer using herbs, caraway, and juniper berries. By the looks of it, these gruit ales are making a serious comeback. Let’s see if the bearded, tattooed hipsters in your town start making the switch from IPAs over to these herb-based beers any time soon.

How many times have you heard the words “presidential pardon” in the last several weeks? Of course, all presidents pardon citizens during their terms, but it seems to be a hot-button issue lately. And along with all the pardon news comes questions about how much power the president actually has. One interesting question people have been bringing up is whether someone can refuse a presidential pardon if they are so inclined. This issue has come up during our nation’s history, and the answer is yes.

Here are two examples of people refusing pardons. One took place in the 1830s under President Andrew Jackson. Two men named George Wilson and James Porter and a co-conspirator were sentenced to death in 1830. Porter was executed relatively quickly, but Wilson was pardoned by Andrew Jackson before he could be executed, but Wilson refused the deal, possibly due to a misunderstanding about other crimes that he was due to be sentenced for.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1833 that “A pardon is a deed, to the validity of which delivery is essential, and delivery is not complete without acceptance. It may then be rejected by the person to whom it is tendered, and if it be rejected, we have discovered no power in a court to force it on him.” Interestingly, the details of what ultimately happened to George Wilson are not known.
Another case in which an American refused a presidential pardon took place in 1915. A city editor for the New York Tribune named George Burdick invoked his Fifth Amendment rights to refuse to testify because he didn’t want to name sources for articles about alleged custom fraud. President Woodrow Wilson pardoned Burdick, hoping that the editor would be inclined to testify and name sources now that he couldn’t be charged. Burdick refused the pardon, didn’t talk, and was found guilty of contempt.

One interesting note: while anyone is able to refuse a pardon, Americans are not allowed to refuse commutations of their sentences.
