Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz will all join forces (kind of) again tonight in another Republican debate. This time around, it will take place at the University of Miami, where the men will presumably have another d*ck measuring contest. At least they’re talking about something, right?

The debate comes five days before the Florida primary, a state that Rubio hopes to have in the bag considering he’s one of the state’s senator. But with Trump’s constant primary wins and Cruz barely coming in second, the chances are not in his favor. As for Kasich – is it time for this guy to hit the high road yet?

Here’s how everything looks right now:

How will tonight’s debate affect numbers? Guess we’ll find out after Florida places their votes.

Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s debate.

For all the people on Spring Break, today is just another day in paradise. For the rest of us poor losers, just another day of being jealous of those sipping on mojitos in bathing suits at the beach. Today’s Spring Break recap photos come from South Padre, Cabo, Cancun, Lake Havasu, and even a cruise ship.

As Spring Breakers would say, IT’S LIT FAM.

Spring Break Videos

John Franklin McGraw, a North Carolina man from Linden, was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct after attacking a protestor named Rakeem Jones during a Donald Trump rally in Fayetteville. Multiple videos of the assault have gone viral.

In the clearest video (screenshot above), you can see Ponytails McGraw stepping through his row to get closer to the protestors being escorted out of Crown Colliseum. Out of nowhere, McGraw gives Rakeem a hard forearm to the face. You can watch that video below.

Attending a Donald Trump rally is like walking straight into the fiery gates of hell. But

As you can see in the video, Rakeem is the one who is tackled by police, not McGraw. A strange series of events considering the fact that all Rakeem did was get rocked in the face. “After I get [hit], before I could even gain my thoughts, I’m on the ground getting escorted out,” Jones told The Washington Post.

Believe it or not, Inside Edition actually caught up with McGraw after the event and interviewed him. McGraw told reporters that he didn’t think “McGraw acted like an American” and that “next time we might have to kill him.”

“You bet I liked it,” McGraw, wearing a cowboy hat, told the reporter. “Knocking hell out of that big mouth. We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American.”

The reporter asked McGraw if he deserved it and the 78-year-old responded, “every bit of it.”

McGraw added, “Yes he deserved it. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is, he might be with a terrorist organization.”

“Number one, we don’t know if he’s ISIS,” McGraw said [source].

I would like to just say that only an “American” would sucker punch someone. A real American, however, would make sure it was a fair fight.

Obviously we’re glad that John McGraw was identified and arrested, but we’re also big fans of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office who did their best to cover up for a blatant mistake.

“A press release from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said several deputies did not see the attack happen.”

Uhh, you had multiple officers right there behind Rakeem and in front of him. But kudos to you for completely denying the fact that your officers would rather tackle the victim than the attacker. It’s Police Handbook 101 stuff. Day 1 material. Deny. Deny. Deny. And then mention that an internal investigation is underway.

Hemingway is a name we all know, particularly from that time you didn’t read Old Man and The Sea senior year of high school. But now it’s showing up in the form of a really hot retro-style blonde, and we don’t hate it.

Dree Hemingway is an American fashion model and actress who is also related to the late great brotastic author. She is his great granddaughter, and she’s defintiely making the man proud.

Previously snagging modeling campaigns with Topshop, Givenchy, and Calvin Klein, Hemingway has also starred in films like Starlet, While We’re Young, and Listen Up Phillip. Sure, we’ve never heard of them, but the fact that she’s played a role in them might be reason enough to check them out.

Check out her hottest photos below.

We write a lot of stuff about Spring Break because Spring Break is supposed to be the craziest week of your life, but we know the sad truth of it is that most of you won’t be partying in place like Cancun. Maybe it’s too expensive. Maybe you didn’t get your trip planned early enough. Maybe you don’t have any friends into that kind of stuff.

Either way, your Spring Break is probably going to be pretty disappointing. That’s why we’re such big fans of this new video from Providence student “Coach Connie” who 100% nails the whole Spring Break Expectations vs. Reality.

You want to believe that you’re going to be tearing it up on the beach with your boys, but the only thing you’ll be tearing up is that bottle of Lubriderm right by your bed. Enjoy.

This Sunday, March 13, we’ll experience Daylight Savings Time, otherwise known as “Spring forward.”

Every year, those in higher state positions continuously debate the stop of DST, because some people see more negative values than positive, but the idea has never taken on any real ground, so we continue to lose an hour of sleep for one night every spring.

According to Caludia Macias, a Sam’s Club pharmacist, that one hour can affect you for even as long as a week.

“It throws off your mental health, your alertness, and also your overall health,” said Macias. But not to fear: you can override those affects by keeping up with a healthy lifestyle, including drinking lots of water and taking multivitamins.

Daylight Savings Time in 2016

Daylight Savings in USA: 2:00 a.m.
Daylight Savings in Arizona: No Daylight Savings
Daylight Savings in Canada: 2:00 a.m.
Daylight Savings in UK: March 27, 1:00 a.m.
Daylight Savings in Brazil: February 21, 12:00 a.m.

If you won’t be up until 2 a.m. on the 13th, which is when the switch will take place, you’ll want to turn your clocks forward an hour before you head to bed on Saturday night, march 12. Luckily, since now our phones and computers do this automatically, it isn’t as hard to remember as it used to be. This officially starts the beginning of longer days, with our sunsets happening later and later on in the day. It happens as 2 a.m. because Live Science has found this to be the time of day that is the least disruptive.

After the 13th, sunrise and sunset will both be an hour earlier than before. We won’t “fall back,” or return to Standard Time until Sunday, Nov. 6.

The time change idea first came from Benjamin Franklin, who published “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” as an essay after realizing the waste it was to burn candles at night, and sleep past dawn. He thought that people were wasting the hours of natural light, and thought it would make a difference if instead time was changed and everyone got up an hour earlier.

The official daylight saving change didn’t happen until World War I, when the need for more fuel increased. It was President Lyndon Johnson who signed the Uniform Time Act in 1966. Weirdly enough, states can still opt out of the time change, and Arizona and Hawaii have chosen to.

Switching to Daylight Savings Time has been found to reduce energy use, prevent traffic accidents, decrease crime and decrease the amount of heart attacks.

It’s advised to start thinking in terms of the change beginning on Friday, March 11, so come Monday morning and the beginning of the work week, you won’t struggle as much.

Working out is hard, especially when you have to get up early to do it. Or go after work or class. Or just like, go. But you need to do it if you want to end up dating someone as hot as Emily Ratajkowski or Lindsey Pelas. You think they’re going to want to date some little shrimp who can’t lift more that 50 pounds? Hell no! They want a man who’s so strong, he can destroy a watermelon with his bare thighs. Or something.

Sounds hard, right? Well for this women, whose quads are bigger than my entire body rolled up into a ball, it’s a piece of f*cking cake. And it’s absolutely terrifying.

It’s also pretty damn impressive. I can barely cut a watermelon sufficiently without almost falling over because it’s so heavy and I have no upper body strength. But this chick can demolish it just by squeezing her legs together. You really have to see it to believe it.

The Google Doodle for March 11th, 2016 celebrates the 85th birthday of author Ratchanee Sripaiwan, whose book, Manee, Mana, Piti, and Chujai, is a fondly remembered favorite among Thai students and non-native speakers who were learning the Thai language. The book was illustrated by Triam Chachumporn, Ohm Rajjavej, and Pathom Puapimon. 

Manee, Mana, Piti, and Chujai was an effective and beloved language primer similar to America’s Dick and Jane, but replace “Run, Spot, run” with lines like “Manee will hit the crab. The crab runs away.” Good. Have you ever met a crab? They’re total jerks and deserve to be beaten till they retreat. Screw you, crabs! But utmost respect to you, Ratchanee Sripaiwan: educator, inspiration, enemy of crabs.

Sripaiwan passed away in 2014, but not without influencing a generation of kids spanning the ’70s through the ’90s (though the books were actually written in the ’50s). Additionally, she was known for her linguistic mastery, though you’ll need deeper Google Muay than ours to specify those contributions.

We can tell you that her passing was marked with a rather sweet gathering of a great many of her former students at the hospital to say farewell. You know…that’s success. When you’re the kind of teacher people still remember as having touched their lives even well into their adulthood? That’s a life well spent.

3 Doors Down is one of those ’90s bands everybody knows and nobody can quite place. Can you name their big hit? I bet you think it’s “Superman.” It is not. It’s called “Kryptonite.” Now you know. And knowing is half of remembering 3 Doors Down. The other half? Placing them. Which you just did, so congratulations!

Anyway, they have a new album, and it’s called Us and the Night, which I think you’ll agree, accompanies a pretty damn good album cover. Look at them there, emerging from the mist like Lost Boys aliens closely encountering you in a third or fourth or even fifth kind of way.

Glibness aside, this band has its own charity, The Better Life Foundation, that helps kids by pairing with other charities to prevent child abuse and child homelessness and other bad things that happen to children. So I think we can all give them a solid round of applause for that.

Hey, want to hear the details of Us and the Night?

Stream 3 Doors Down’s Us and the Night

Spotify is the best place for you to stream Us and the Night. The worst place? In an actual stream, miles from civilization. What were you thinking? Get out of that body of water.

Buy 3 Doors Down’s Us and the Night on iTunes

Do you hate windows? Sure you do! You like doors! Lots of doors! Maybe  even three, if you feel you need that many. Stick it to Windows by downloading Us and the Night on Apple’s iTunes.

Buy 3 Doors Down’s Us and the Night on Amazon

Admit it: you’re lonely, and you just want company. Like a drone. Oh man, a drone would be so cool! You two could become best friends and fight crime together. Order Us and the Night from Amazon and select their drone delivery. Assuming that’s a real thing by now.

Buy 3 Doors Down’s Us and the Night at Target

Target’s exclusive deal gets you two extra songs when you buy Us and the Night through them, and is definitely the recommended way to pick up 3 Doors Down’s newest album.

As You and I shows, Jeff Buckley is both missed and felt among the music scene even today. In fact it’s hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years since the talented rising star drowned accidentally. Although he only released one album while still alive, he’s had a number of compilation contributions and live albums come out in addition to the posthumous release of his sophomore record.

You and I is a collection of rarities, B-sides, and otherwise unreleased material. It’s probably the last real dose of the singer/songwriter/guitarist we’re going to get.

Stream Jeff Buckley’s You and I

Get over to Spotify and start streaming You and I.

Buy Jeff Buckley’s You and I on iTunes

Get over to iTunes and buy a digital copy to take with you.

Buy Jeff Buckley’s You and I on Amazon

Amazon lists You and I as pop, but only because they don’t have a “hauntingly soulful covers of rock legends” category.

Buy Jeff Buckley’s You and I at Target

Target let you pre-order You and I but you can just grab it now.

Jeff Buckley’s You and I Track List

1. Just Like a Woman

Last night Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich took to the University of Miami’s main stage for another Republican debate. Unlike the GOP debates of weeks past, last night’s events were void of the usual entertainment we’re used to. Insults were kept to a minimum, petty fights were nowhere to be found, and penile measurements managed to be kept under wraps.

Have the boys grown up? The answer remains questionable, but at least we got what we wanted last night: a clearer look into what the hell everyone was going to do about important world issues. Kind of.

Missed out on the debate? No worries – we have the full video and highlights below. Check it out and get educated.

You know what’s hard? Dating. You know what should make it easier? Dating apps.

They’re literally everywhere – Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Match – and with them comes thousands of prospective daters eager to meet just about anyone. This should be simple. Literally all you have to do is not be a a**shole and you’ll get a date.

Unfortunately this is harder for some than it is for others, like this psychopath who went full-on Ted Bundy trying to pick this girl up for a date.

Imgur user msmessyclean recently posted a series of text messages between her and a prospective Tinder date and things got pretty terrifying rather quickly. She claims that he wasn’t crazy at first, but then randomly started showing that he might be mentally unstable when he started verbally attacking her via text message.

So I matched a guy on Tinder. He seemed pretty normal as first, a few quirks here and there, but who am I to judge, right? Matched, had a brief conversation, asked for my number and I gave it to him. Talked two or three nights ago and agreed to go on a Wednesday date. After agreeing and chatting on the phone, something felt off. He was too offbeat and I began to feel uncomfortable. The following day he said a few things that didn’t sit with me. This is was the final thing that did it…

Here’s how the conversation went:

Wow, ok. Dude is a f*cking psychopath. First you insult her, then you turn into a stalker, and then you blame your erratic behavior on your mom’s death (which probably isn’t a real thing to begin with)? He is definitely a sociopathic serial killer.

For anyone who ever thought stalking a girl was a romantic gesture, you’re wrong – please try not to threaten her before the date. It’s in poor taste.

We love us some Tomi Lahren. She’s smart, she’s blonde, she’s not afraid to speak her mind, and she has that trace of crazy that’s always attractive in an enigmatic kind of way. So when she unleashed her fury on millennial men last night during an episode of TheBlaze, dudes across American were simultaneously insulted and kind of turned on. It’s a weird thing, but it happens – a lot. 

Lahren, who’s known to be the hottest conservative on TV, went hard against millennial men, calling them “pansies” for not knowing how to change a tire, buying ladies drinks on their parents’ credit card, and still being afraid of the dark. She clearly gives no f*cks and is not afraid to call out the obvious. Are men too soft? She seems to think so – and it’s making it really hard to find a significant other. So, now the next important question stands: who’s going to man up for her?

That means we’ve got party animals checking in from Gulf Shores, Cabo, South Padre, Lake Havasu. And a very special shoutout to those of you in Gulf Shores who were able to somehow avoid eviction–normally those stories don’t end well.

It’s Friday, so to reward you for making it to the end of the week, we’re bringing you photos of SummerLove Swimwear‘s Bikini Babe of the Week. Why? Because we’re just that nice. You’re welcome.

Jocelyn Chew is a Wilhelmina model who boasts over 236,000 Instagram followers, and rightfully so. The Icelandic/Chinese/Canadian beauty rocks SummerLove Swimwear arguably better than like 99.9 percent of the population. I think it’s safe to say that she is #bodygoals or #girlfriendgoals…or basically any other kind of #goals you can think of.

If you haven’t heard of SummerLove Swimwear before, now’s the time. The California based eco-friendly line was recently featured in Sports Illustrated and only uses the best swimwear models in the industry to show off their sexy bikinis, including mega hottie Charlotte McKinney.

Founder and designer, Vanessa Rivers was inspired to create the brand after years of searching for swimsuits that were both eco-friendly and beautiful. As an an avid surfer, Rivers is into preserving the environment, but also wanted to look and feel confident as well.

“Surfing taught me two important things that I applied to my line. First, to have a great respect for our environment and second, how important it is to have a swimsuit that makes you look and feel good,” she said. “Most of the eco swimwear lines that I saw were not functional or stylish and I began to realize that there was a void in the market. I wanted to create swimwear that was chic and affordable, allowing women to buy green and still look gorgeous.”

Our Miss COED 2016 finalists were lucky enough to receive some of SummerLove’s awesome bikinis, and to say they were excited is an understatement.

SummerLove Swimwear features a Bikini Babe Of The Week every Friday in the Bikini News section on their website. The best part? You can also receive the Bikini Babe Of The Week in your inbox. (Yes, dreams really do come true).

A stabbing near the Boston University medical campus happened earlier this morning at 774 Albany Street.

While police have cleared the scene of the incident, students are warned to be on the lookout for the suspect who was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, a white and red baseball cap, and a green backpack.

Below is a photo of 774 Albany Street, the scene of the crime.

With tuition prices as high as they are, you may wonder what the administration is spending that money on—because it sure isn’t the food. Well now, students at University of Washington have an answer: Snuggies.

A recent audit at the public university found that the school used federal funding “unallowable” expenditures, like promotional canvas bags, dining ware, and other “unreasonable” things. The standout, though, is the $1,179 allotted for the purchase of “embroidered Snuggies.”

Yeah…

What makes this particularly bad, instead of just like, regular bad, is that the money used to buy these custom Snuggies was part of a grant from National Science Foundation (NSF) intended for scientific research and funding. So, unless the Snuggies were being used as lab coats, there’s no way to justify that. In 2009, at the height of the blanket-with-sleeves craze, maybe this could have been understandable, but this is 2016. There’s no reason for anyone—especially an institution of higher education—to be shelling out money for some embroidered ones.

“In reviewing the report and questioned costs we believe the audit confirms the effectiveness of our management systems as well as the dedication and commitment of our faculty and staff to manage NSF awards in a compliant manner,” the school has said in response to the criticism. “The University is committed to continually improve our oversight and management of NSF awards. This audit proves an opportunity to further strengthen our administrative and management controls and processes and to continue to enhance already robust outreach and training.”

In the end, the university agreed to transfer the costs of the Snuggies and the other stuff from the award, so they’ll be funded some other way. Still, inquiring minds want to know: Why Snuggies?
