15 Very Funny Tweets About “Last Christmas”

Have you seen it yet?

Last Christmas is the talk of the movie theater this holiday season (so far), partially because it’s a good movie and partially because its marketing is a bit wonky and seems to be promising viewers a film that they’re just not getting.

No matter whether you love it, hate it, aren’t going to see it, or can’t wait, these 15 tweets have a pretty good chance of making you laugh.

15. It’s like the don’t even realize most of us subsist very happily on Hallmark fare every year.

14. What more do you need?

13. Can we have a moment of silence.

12. There’s no shame in that game.

11. Not to be dramatic or anything.

10. No spoilers, but…

9. None of us are mad at you.

8. Just sit back and wait for it. With popcorn.

7. No one else needs to audition.

6. Do you have some kind of problem with that?

5. I think we can all agree on this.

4. Some lessons still need to be taught.

3. Critics everywhere, please understand.

2. Does it, though?

1. Cosigned.

 

I can’t wait to see it, but I usually go in for those with bittersweet endings.

Have you seen it? Are you planning to? Let us know why or why not in the comments!

Middle School Students Protested the Lack of Free Tampons at School with Inventive ‘Tampon Cookies’

These kids weren’t messing around…

Having periods can cost you roughly $18,000 over the course of your lifetime, according to 2017 analysis by HuffPost. It doesn’t quite seem fair that half of the population should have to pay out of pocket for an uncontrollable health necessity, which is why many folks have recently begun advocating for free tampons and pads at work, schools, and public places.

Now, even young people are getting in on the fight.

A group of middle schoolers organized to ask the principal to start distributing free tampons in the bathroom. The male principal refused, claiming that kids would “abuse the privilege.”

Whatever that means…

The students didn’t give up, though. They protested by making cookies in the shape of tampons.

Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, is the friend of the parent of a seventh-grader at the school. She told the story on Twitter.

“The kids decided to hold a cookie protest,” Ilyse wrote. “Behold the tampon cookies!”

The cost of tampons is especially unfair for young students, who have no control over their parents’ level of income or wealth. Kids who don’t have reliable access to menstrual products may not be able to attend school consistently.

The cookies appear to be made of wafers, red and white frosting, and string.

In response to Ilyse’s tweet, other Twitter users shared stories of similar actions at other middle and high schools.

They also mocked the principal’s concerns and praised the students’ creativity.

As one user wrote: “The kids are DEFINITELY alright.” And hopefully, their efforts are successful!

This Guy Made Fun of Tiny Dogs Until a Chihuahua Saved His Life. Now, He Rescues Them.

There is a certain set of people who think small dogs are dumb. Or, maybe, not very manly. My fella was once verbally harassed in a McDonald’s drive thru for having my papillon on his lap, so this is definitely real.

Luckily, my husband is confident and my dog was awesome, so whatever.

Bobby Humphreys, though, used to be one of those guys who had no time for small, girly dogs. He’s a competitive bodybuilder and hardwood floor layer, and he always had big, rough-and-tumble dogs that matched his lifestyle: Rottweilers.

He thought they were regal and imposing, and he and his wife had owned three of them during their 17-year marriage.

But then his life took an unexpected turn in 2016.

It began when his wife left him (on New Year’s Eve), and continued when he injured his shoulder a week later.

He needed surgery, but he had no one to lean on. Without his wife, he fell into a deep depression that he struggled to climb out of as he healed. Try as he might, the depression remained.

One day, his friend messaged to ask if her chihuahua, Lady, could stay with him for a little while.

Bobby didn’t really want the little dog around – he’d used to make fun of his friends who carried similar pups around for their girlfriends in the past – but he couldn’t say no to a friend who had been there for him in his tough times.

Once Lady was in the house, well…everything happened rather quickly.

Here’s a special post that absolutely warms my heart and I feel this little story needs to be told. A fan and follower of the page who just happens to be of the younger generation decided to do something completely selfless and have a fundraiser on his birthday for me. Not a fundraiser on Facebook but an actual fundraiser at his own birthday party. Between friends and family Grayson, sent in a check for $150 that he was able to raise from his party. If you look at the photos, you will see a beautiful story of his own and understand the connection. I am just completely blown away by this. Of course, I am always grateful to everybody who donates whether it be simply because it’s nice to get the magnet in return, whether it’s something that is completely from the heart and not needing anything in return, whether it’s a generous donation to the vet, something we desperately need it on the Amazon wish list, or anything. The giving of oneself it’s so beautiful and very well respected by me. It’s a trait far too seldom seen these days. This however, is on an entirely different level. Do you have somebody his age have the comprehension and awareness to do something like this and then of course have the selflessness to do it on his birthday is just light years ahead this however, is on an entirely different level. Do you have somebody his age have the comprehension and awareness to do something like this and then of course have the selflessness to do it on his birthday is just light years ahead at his age in my book. So I want to say from the bottom of my heart and I’m behalf of all of us here. All of the Littles all of the misfits. Thank you so much, Grayson! ❤❤❤❤ #myislandofmisfits #sanctuarysquad #bigguylittlesworld #bigguylittlesworldsanctuary #couldwechangetheworld

A post shared by Big Guy, Littles World (@bigguylittlesworldsanctuary) on

“Lady did not just transform my opinion, she transformed my life,” he told Bored Panda. “What didn’t she do? She gave me my self-respect and dignity back. After everything I’ve been through; humiliation shaming, abandonment, and everything else, she gave me the reassurance that I wasn’t such a bad person after all.”

She kept him going, she gave him purpose, and on the days when he didn’t want to get out of bed and go to work, her little stare made him do it, anyway.

When it was time for Lady to go back home, Bobby adopted Kira, a similar-looking chihuahua with food aggression issues. Then came Harley and Quinn, two inbred dogs that were unlikely to get adopted by anyone else.

He realized at some point that he was trying to show the dogs a kindness that society and his life had refused to show him – acceptance, no matter what.

They kept coming – bait dogs, abandoned dogs, abused dogs, hoarded dogs – and he kept them all.

“I made a promise to each and every one of them that they would never have to experience abuse, neglect, abandonment or the pain of loving someone that would not give you love in return no matter how much you tried.”

His small, unintentional mission turned into a chihuahua sanctuary called Big Guy Littles World.

Bobby takes the dogs no one wants, shows them love and kindness, and lets them live with him as long as they want.

“I call this place the island of misfit toys… Staring with myself, we are all the rejects. The ones nobody wants. The ones that don’t look perfect. The ones hat don’t fit,” he said to Bored Panda.

The dogs stay with him until – or if – they find someone they like better.

I don’t know about you, but I seem to have something in my eye. I need to go and take care of it.

And possibly find another little papillon that needs a home.

Offices Are Using Greta Thunberg’s Disapproving Face to Get Workers to Use Less Plastic

She sure doesn’t look happy.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has found herself in the world’s spotlight over the past several months as her previously solitary climate strikes caught on across the globe.

The teenager is encouraging others in her generation (and beyond) to treat climate change like the crisis that it is – and some companies in Israel are hoping she can do the same for their employees.

We all need to do our part, after all, and cutting down on our individual plastic use is one good way everyone can contribute.

So, while these companies still offer plastic options, they hope seeing the angry teenager’s face will encourage people to choose the recyclable options, instead.

Her face has popped up in some surprising places.

And it seems like it might be working, since people are trying to hide her judgmental stare as they go about their day.

The truth is, even if we could hide from Greta (or her image, in this case) we can’t hide from the truth that our collective choices are putting the planet on a path we soon won’t be able to correct.

If this is what it takes to make people think twice, I say it’s worth a try!

A Baby Abandoned in a Dumpster Grew up to Be the Founder of a Multi-Million Dollar Company

This is an amazing success story! “Rags to Riches,” “the American Dream,” “self-made man.” Every single cliché you’ve heard about that classic story, Freddie Figgers is living proof that it is actually possible.

Figgers is only 30 years old, but he’s already a huge success as the CEO and President of Figgers Communication, a telecommunications company that is now valued at a whopping $62 million.

Them: I don’t think it will happen ?Me: There are three kinds of people in this world: people who make it happen,…

Posted by Freddie Figgers on Friday, July 5, 2019

But life didn’t start out very well for Figgers. He was abandoned in a dumpster by his mother shortly after she gave birth to him in Quincy, Florida, though luckily he was adopted when he was two days old by a couple named Nathan and Betty Figgers. The Figgers’ gave young Freddie all the love and support he needed, and he grew up to be a curious boy who loved to tinker around with computers.

Figgers got his first job as a computer technician at the age of 12, and at age 15 he started his own cloud computing service. His first job in this field came after he helped a car dealership back up their information on a remote server after they had previously lost all their files in a tornado. Figgers set up the server in his own backyard.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Posted by Freddie Figgers on Wednesday, June 26, 2019

The young entrepreneur invented his own creations as well, including a GPS tracking device that goes in someone’s shoe to help keep track of them. Figgers created this device specifically for his father, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. He sold that idea to a company for $2.2 million and started Figgers Communications, the extremely profitable company that he now runs, with his earnings.

His business is also the only African-American owned company of its kind in the United States.

Bravo, Mr. Figgers!

Let Freddie Figgers’ story remind you that no matter where you come from or where you are at the moment, you can always achieve your dreams if you work hard and aim high.

10 Facts About Game Show Legend Bob Barker

Bob Barker is 95 years old, and he is still every bit the TV legend he was when he first hosted The Price is Right in 1972.

He actually started hosting his first game show all the way back in 1956, and he only retired from hosting The Price is Right in 2007. That’s 50 years!

And who could forget this classic clip featuring Barker from Happy Gilmore?

Let’s get to know the man behind the legend a little bit better with these 10 facts.

1. Early years.

Barker spent some of his youth on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. He is 1/8 Sioux.

2. World War II

Barker enlisted in the Navy and served from 1942-1945, but he didn’t see combat. He said, “I was all ready to go, and when the enemy heard that I was headed for the Pacific, they surrendered.”

3. Over the airwaves.

Barker began working on the radio in college on KTTS-FM in Springfield, Missouri.

4. Badass.

Barker is a black belt in karate, and he trained with none other than Chuck Norris for decades. Oh, and by the way, he did his own fight scene in Happy Gilmore.

5. Hoops.

Barker attended Drury College in Missouri on a basketball scholarship and also joined Navy’s basketball team while he served in the military.

6. Taking a stand.

Barker hosted the Miss USA/Universe pageants from 1966 to 1988 but stepped down when the people who ran the competitions refused to stop giving out fur coats as prizes.

7. Come on down!

CBS renamed Stage 33 “Bob Barker Studio” after he hosted his 5,000th episode of The Price is Right in 1998.

8. Big break.

Barker considers the show Truth or Consequences his big break. He hosted the show from 1956 until 1974.

9. Animal lover.

Barker purchased 460 acres of land in California that will be used as a sanctuary for donkeys.

Bob Barker gave this incredible speech when ADI first introduced the Traveling Exotic Animal Protection Act to Congress in 2011. Nothing has changed in how Bob Barker describes the suffering of circus animals, but a lot has changed in the world. HERE ARE SIX REASONS WHY THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR THE TRAVELING EXOTIC ANIMAL AND PUBLIC SAFETY PROTECTION ACT (TEAPSPA; HR2863) NOW. Since 2011: 1. The number of national animal circus bans has more than doubled to 45 – including US neighbor Mexico. 2. Two states, New Jersey and Hawaii, have passed wild animal bans, and other states are considering bans. There are now 92 local circus prohibitions in 32 states including cities such as New York and San Francisco. 3. The number of animal circuses has fallen and the largest, Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus – which invested heavily to lobby against bans – closed due to declining audiences, as people have turned away from animal acts. 4. 20 animal protection groups are backing TEAPSPA. 5. There is more evidence of circus suffering and more public awareness than ever before. 6. TEAPA has been refined after discussions with legislators to strengthen the public safety aspects – hence it is now TEAPSPA. So now it’s up to YOU. Make that call, send that email, set up the meeting with your representative – get them to sponsor the bill. Then do it again. Don’t stop until this bill is passed. Start here – find your representatives and send an email NOW. TEAPSPA IS COMING. BE PART OF THE CHANGE. BE PART OF THE CAMPAIGN.

10. Love story.

Barker first went on a date with his wife Dorothy Jo when he was 15 years old. The two attended an Ella Fitzgerald concert (which is awesome). They were married from 1945 until her death in 1981, when she was 57. Bob Barker said he “never had any inclination to remarry.”

What a guy!
