Drake Released A New Short Film That Everyone Is Going To Talk About, So You Might As Well Watch It

via Twitter

Anytime Drake does pretty much anything, the pop culture world stops to take notice. This high-brow short film Please Forgive Me is no different.

Please Forgive Me is essentially the plot of that ’90s movie Indecent Proposal. Drake’s love interest, played by Belgian model Fanny Neguesha, is offered $1 million to spend the night with a sketchy South African millionaire. However, instead of fulfilling the parameters of the deal, Drake, his girl and associate Popcaan take out the boss at the rendezvous point and run off with the money.

In Please Forgive Me, two songs from Views are used as in-film music videos: “One Dance” and “Controlla.” Featuring those two songs, in addition to a bunch of Views tracks, including “Weston Road Flows,” “9,” “Views,” and “Summer’s Over Interlude,” Please Forgive Me also features new music composed by the rapper’s go-to producer Noah “40” Shebib.

Please Forgive Me is sure to be the talk of the week, so check out Please Forgive Me on Apple Music, and catch the trailer here:


‘The Simpsons’ Had An Eerie Arnold Palmer Reference During Last Night’s Season Premiere

The Simpsons, though long past its prime, premiered its 28th season last night. While that is an accomplishment in and of itself, what everyone is talking about this morning is not the outstanding longevity of the program, but of the eerie Arnold Palmer reference made during the show.

As you should know by now, golfing great Arnold Palmer died Sunday evening at the age of 87 years old. Known as The King, Palmer is considered to be one of, if not the, greatest golfer in history. And as The Simpsons mentioned, he also became famous for the popularizing of a half ice tea, half lemonade drink that would come to be known as an ‘Arnold Palmer.’

In classic Simpsons fashion, the show, which seems to have an unusual penchant for predicting the future, just so happened to include an Arnold Palmer reference on the day that would end up being his last.

Nathan Desai Shooter: Full Story & Must-See Details

Nathan Desai Shooter Information

Nathan Desai has been identified as the shooter who shot and wounded nine people outside a mall in Houston on September 26 before he was killed by law enforcement officers.

Police report that the shootout occurred outside of Randall’s grocery around 6:30 A.M. local time and lasted a full 20-minutes. Some witness claimed that they heard at least fifty different shots that came from both police and Desai.


Who Was Nathan Desai?

Desai was a lawyer at Kenneth McDaniel at McDaniel & Desai LLP, but had apparently separated himself from the firm. On his LinkedIn account, Desai states that he “no longer has any affiliation with Kenneth P. McDaniel.”

The Houston Police Department described him as a disgruntled lawyer who had an issue with his previous law firm. He was a graduate of the University of Tulsa. You can see a photo of the law offices he used to work at below.

According to some Yelp reviews, it was clear that Desai wasn’t exactly the most professional or thoughtful lawyer in the world. Check out one such review below.


What Happened?

Around 6:30 A.M., Nathan Desai opened fire outside a mall in Houston. Witnesses describe a long, 20-minute shootout, and some people even mentioned the fact that they heard bullets flying past their faces. Antoine Wilson described to ABC Houston that she, “literally heard the gunshots pass my face. It’s a hard pill to swallow.”

Witnesses also describe seeing Desai shooting out of the driver’s seat of his car with a rifle equipped with a laser sight. Sounds absolutely horrifying. From Breitbart:

Witness Jennifer Molleda whose husband was shot said she was looking out window and heard bullets go by closely. She said shooter had a red laser on his rifle. People said they could see the red laser in their eyes. The witness said the shooter was aiming at people’s faces in their cars shooting through the windshield on the drivers side.

Her husband is reportedly okay but was shot. When he was shot, he lost control of his car and drove over curbs into the pet store parking lot. He eventually received medical attention and was transported. “I’m hit, I’m hit,” her husband told her on the phone shortly after he was shot. He is currently at Methodist Hospital. He has glass from the windshield in his eyes. She said he was shot twice in the face.

After his death, a bomb squad robot was sent to inspect the body. They discovered that his dead body was near his parked Porsche, which was discovered with additional weapons inside the vehicle. He must have been armed to the teeth if he was involved in a shootout for twenty minutes.

Police apparently tied a rope to his body and rolled the cadaver down the hill in an attempt to see whether or not the body was boobytrapped. An interesting, but effective method of making sure.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the shooting.

The First Presidential Debate Is On Tonight, So Here’s The Best Drinking Game To Drown Your Sorrows In

It’s finally here. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will go at it in the first presidential debate tonight at Hofstra University. This will be a preview of how worried we all should be that these are the candidates to run our country.

This debate will be our first taste of how outrageous these last 6 or so weeks leading up to the election will be. Two of the most disliked candidates in the history of democracy will be facing off in a race to the bottom, and tonight’s debate kicks off that race. Trust me when we say this: it’s going to be a shit show.

Without a doubt, this debate will be amusing and entertaining, and you can make it even more exciting with this debate drinking game:

– When either Trump or Clinton says their campaign slogan, drink. (“Make America Great Again” for Trump and “Stronger Together” for Clinton.)

– When Trump promises America that he “knows how to defeat ISIS,” drink.

– When Clinton deflects a question about her emails, drink.

-When Colin Kaepernick comes up, finish your drink.

– When Trump insists that Mexico will pay for the wall, take a shot. Chase the shot with a beer when he won’t elaborate. (This will get you hammered.)

– When either Trump or Clinton ignores moderator Lester Holt and keeps talking past the time limit, drink.

– If Trump implies Clinton’s bad health, drink.

– When Gary Johnson is mentioned, take a shot and then take a bong rip.

– When Trump makes a face that looks like your favorite emoji, drink.

– If Trump calls Clinton, “Crooked Hillary,” drink.

-If Trump says he will release his tax returns, drink.

– When Trump says “huge,” drink.

-Anytime Bernie Sanders is mentioned, pour a little out.

– Every time Vladimir Putin is mentioned, drink.

– When either Trump or Clinton accuses the other of being unfit or unqualified to be president, drink.

– If Trump makes a reference to the size of his hands, chug.

Another Day, Another Smoking Hot European Weather Girl Having A “Wardrobe Malfunction”

I wonder what people would be calling “wardrobe malfunctions” had Janet Jackson not unleashed her sun shield-plated nipple on the world back in 2004. I could coin a number of phrases that could easily replace wardrobe malfunction as the go-to terminology for a surprise nipple.

This clip, like the beautiful Roxana Vancea before her, comes to us from Romania. And just like Vancea, Daniela Crudu also had the brilliant idea of jumping around on television wearing minimal clothing.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: American news agencies need to start taking notes from our European brethren. The news is nothing but death and depression, so sneaking in a wardrobe malfunction or two (or five) a week wouldn’t hurt anyone, would it?

Clinton Trump Debate Live Stream

The first Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump happens tonight at 9:00 P.M. EST, live from Hofstra University. The Democratic and Republican nominees will debate each other while Lester Holt, anchor for Dateline NBC, moderates the questions. The debate is going to be must-watch television, as the polls show a very tight race in addition to the fact that its the first time that Donald and Hillary have shared a stage in a long, long time.

It’s estimated that an audience the size of the Super Bowl–around 100 million people–will tune into the 90-minute debate. The added bonus is that there won’t be any commercial breaks, so at least you won’t have to sit through a ton of ads. The downside is that there’s a serious potential for mudslinging the likes of which we haven’t seen before, depending on whether or not Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton decide to throw down.

You’ll have a ton of different ways of tuning into the first Presidential Debates, so in typical democratic fashion we’ll give you all the options and let you choose.

How To Live Stream The Presidential Debate On Your Mobile Phone

The Presidential Debate is going to be on most news channels in the United States (ABC, NBC, CS, FOX, etc.) which means that you’ll have plenty of options to watch the debate live. In fact, the hardest part about figuring out how to watch the debate will be deciding on which platform you’ll use. YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook will be showing their own broadcasts in addition to live streaming the debate from a mobile app from networks like NBC or ABC.

YouTube: Networks like NBC News, PBS, Fox News, the Washington Post, Bloomberg and Telemundo will be offering free live streams on YouTube. The upside here is that you won’t need a cable subscription log-in to watch the debates. We’ve taken the liberty of embedding the NBC, PBS and Washington Post YouTube videos below.

NBC YouTube Debate Live Stream

PBS YouTube Live Stream

Washington Post YouTube Live Stream

Twitter: Bloomberg is offering a free live stream of their coverage on Twitter, via the Twitter app or their website. Expect quality streams with the added bonus of not needing a password to watch. Coverage begins at 8:30 PM EST. The upside here is that you won’t need a cable subscription log-in to watch the debates.

Facebook: ABC News was the first site to announce that they’d be live streaming the debates through their Facebook page. It’s a safe bet that other sites might be following suit, but as far as we can see ABC is the only one doing it officially. The upside here is that you won’t need a cable subscription log-in to watch the debates.

Official News Network Apps: If you’d prefer to live stream the Trump vs. Clinton Presidential Debates via the network’s official apps, you’ll also be able to do that too. Nearly every single news network will live stream the first Presidential Debate, but keep in mind you’ll only be able to watch these live streams if you have a cable subscription log-in (username and password). If you’ve cut the cord and don’t have cable television, you could always ask a friend or family member for their information.

  • CBS: Free streams of the Presidential Debates will be via CBSN and will be available via CBSNews.com. There is also an iPhone app and Android app to watch the live streams.
  • ABC: ABC is already offering a free stream via their Facebook page, but if you’re a paying TV customer and want to watch the debate on their own app, you can log-in and watch Trump vs. Hillary on their iPhone or Android app.
  • NBC: In addition to their official YouTube debate live stream, the National Broadcasting Company will be allowing paid TV customers the opportunity to tune into their broadcast via the NBC News app. You can download the NBC News app for the iPhone or Android.
  • FOX News: There is no way that FOX News was going to miss out on the 1st Presidential Debate, so on top of their own FOX News Presidential Debate YouTube live stream (which isn’t embeddable), they’re also allowing people the opportunity to watch the debate on their own app. If you’re a paying TV customer and want to watch the debates on FOX News, check out their iPhone or Android apps.

How To Live Stream Presidential Debates On Your Computer

Watching the Presidential Debate live stream will be a breeze if you’re trying to tune in on your computer. You’ll have many more options than you will candidates, which is great and awful at the same time.

YouTube: Networks like NBC News, PBS, Fox News, the Washington Post, Bloomberg and Telemundo will be offering free live streams on YouTube. The upside here is that you won’t need a cable subscription log-in to watch the debates. You can check out the embedded videos in the section above.

Twitter: In addition to airing the Bloomberg coverage of the debates live from the Twitter app, the Twitter website itself will also be hosting the live stream at debates.twitter.com.

ABC Live: ABC allows paying TV customers to live stream their content, so if you’ve got a cable subscription, head on over to ABC.go.com/watch-live and enter your information there.

FIFA 17 Review: Must-See Details & Screenshots

FIFA 17

There is no competition in sports gaming that comes close to the current slugfest between the FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer series. With the rival developers topping their past efforts with blistering improvements with each new release, it’s soccer gamers who come out on top. Fresh on the heals of the stunning Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 — check out our review here — comes the stunning FIFA 17, which ups the ante for what can be expected in a story-based campaign in a sports title. While true soccer fanatics will pick up both games, for most players it makes sense to choose only one, and EA Canada makes a compelling case for its remarkable effort to be the winner.

Game: FIFA 17
Consoles: Xbox One (reviewed), PS4, PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: EA Canada
Release Date: September 27

The star of the show is unquestionably The Journey, the front-and-center story mode that takes you through the life of an emerging Premier League star as he works his way up from the ranks of unheralded prospects. Taking on the feel of the beloved soccer film Rudo y Cursi — with a few hints of the cheesy yet gratifying Goal flicks — you guide your player through powerfully crafted and smoothly motion-capped and voice acted dramatic scenes, shaping his personality with life choices, dialogue selection and onfield performance. Matching up well with the likes of similar story-based experiences from the NBA 2K series (check out our NBA 2K17 review here), The Journey is good enough to merit multiple play-throughs before you dig in to the usual day-to-day gameplay.

One you’ve worn out the story mode, you’ll have some tough choices to make as for where to spend most of your time. The card-based pseudo-fantasy team-building mode FIFA Ultimate Team remains a compelling go-to, even though it’s saddled with irritating, mobile game-style nudges for you to cough up more money to buy more card packs. A bevy of benchmark-based challenges keeps you at the grind, tweaking your squad to maximize your firepower and defensive integrity. Franchise mode allows you to dig into the guts of what brings success, challenging you to work some Leicester City style managerial magic to whip an underdog team into championship form.

On the pitch, the game looks and plays with a rough-hewn, authentic-seeming grace and style that takes a noticeable graphical leap from last year’s entry. That’s thanks much in part to developers getting the most out of the revered Frostbite engine, nailing details such as redness in winded players’ faces to ripples in jerseys and scrambled pieces of grass made after hard tackles. Oddly, the ball appears to be somewhat smaller than in past games, coupling with subtly highlighted ball-controlling players and marking defenders to make it tougher to keep track of possession than it could be. The struggle fades once you become accustomed to it, but you may want to hammer out a few practice games before stepping into the high stakes online arena.

Thanks to its overwhelming cascade of licensed players and teams — coupled with marketing might — FIFA entries will almost always be more popular than Pro Evolution Soccer titles. While the latter is generally agreed upon to be the more refined and cohesive onfield experience — a fact that doesn’t change much with this year’s set of releases — EA Canada has fought back by moving its franchise ahead of its rival thanks to an inspired solo story mode. If you must stick to one soccer game this year and care more about the nuances of passing, defense ant tactics, make it PES 2017. But if you crave authentic players and stadiums and are intrigued by The Journey, there’s no question that you need to side with FIFA 17.

ORDER: FIFA 17 here



FIFA 17 Reviews Around The Web:

“Set pieces have also been tweaked in an attempt to make them feel less like a game of footballing roulette.” –Stuff

“The football is solid. Not as effortless to pick-up-and-play as PES 2017 at this stage, but still a sound all-round game.” –GamesRadar

“I played it and I pretty much loved it. But it didn’t wow me.” –TheXboxHub

Game Of Thrones Season 7 Rumors

Production of the seventh season of Game Of Thrones is currently full steam ahead, which means that more and more details about the upcoming seven episodes have been leaking as the weeks go by. And we’ll take it: the more Game Of Thrones is in the news, the better the world is. Straight up.

First, we brought you the epic details of this season’s annual “Big Battle” (which, in classic Thrones fashion, sounds like it is going to make you poo your undergarments). Then, we brought you more general tidbits, including the possible future of Euron & Cersei’s relationship. Now the latest batch of rumors, via Watchers On The Wall, suggests that there will be TWO big battles this season, one of which will take place in Essos:

They are now reporting that there will be three days of filming at Trujillo Castle, not one as we had previously heard. The outlet confirms that there will be one hundred extras present for filming at the location. The purpose of Trujillo Castle is not known, but it’s hard to imagine the place being a part of anywhere but Essos.

Two big battles in one (shortened) season? My heart already hurts.

One Of The Scary Clowns Caught Hiding In The Woods Finally Arrested

You may or may not have heard that a frightening number of clowns have been spotted hiding in the woods down south (North Carolina and South Carolina), trying to lure children into the forest with offers of money and candy. I have read no less than four different accounts of clown sightings and even warnings from police and local authorities.

Considering how scary that sounds, we had been hoping for some time that these rumors and stories came from bored kids who wanted the attention.

But now after an arrest in Kentucky, it looks like those stories could have actually been for real. Police in Barbourville, KY have arrested 20-year-old Jonathan Martin, who was caught wearing a creepy AF clown outfit on Friday night. Yes, that’s him in the photo above. Here’s his mug shot, in case you need proof that he’s really a person and not some demonspawn sent from hell to give you nightmares and stabs to the gut.

jonathan-martin-mugshot-clown-face

But you know what’s messed up? That this guy was caught in Kentucky, not in North Carolina or South Carolina, the states where most of the sightings have been reported. Either Jonathan has been putting some serious miles on his car or there are still a ton of creepos hiding in the Carolina woods.

For his part, Martin was charged with “wearing a mask in public and disorderly conduct.”

Here’s an explanation from the Kentucky police as to why he was arrested. “Dressing as a clown and driving, walking or standing in public can create a dangerous situation for you and others. While dressing up is not, in and of itself against the law, doing so in public and thereby creating an unnecessary sense of alarm is illegal.”

Larry Nassar: Full Story & Must-See Details Of The Doctor

Larry Nassar USA Gymnast doctor

YouTube

Earlier this month, two former USA gymnasts accused a former team doctor named Larry Nassar of sexual abuse. One of the accusers is an Olympic medalist, who is choosing to remain anonymous at this time. The civil suits were filed in Michigan and California. The women gave two separate, similar interviews to IndyStar about their encounters. The women said they were molested during the 1990s and early 2000s. Both claimed to have been fondled during exams and one claims Nassar was aroused during one visit.

As of Sunday, 16 additional gymnasts have come forward to accuse Nassar of abuse. Five of the women have started reaching out to news outlets. One of them even filed a complaint back in 2004. Each of them stated that they told police that Nassar penetrated them with his fingers during medical treatments. Three of them stated they were underage at the time. Nassar’s former lawyer stated that the doctor had no procedures that included vaginal penetration but his current lawyers claim he did. Nassar has not changed his story, according to his lawyers. Nassar was recently fired from Michigan State University, where he treated most of the school’s gymnasts.

This the second stunning blow to the reputation of USA Gymnastics in two months. Executives recently confessed to ignoring sexual abuse allegations from its athletes. In one situation, a coach was able to prey on gymnasts for seven years because four different warnings about him were ignored.

One of Nassar’s alleged victims spoke to IndyStar about the frustration of her unacknowledged accusations, saying:

“I think that what affected me the most is that I came forward and I felt like I did everything I was supposed to do, but there was no action on it… I felt very alone in that fact because I felt like I had kind of spilled everything and there was no one there to protect me.”

The organization would not disclose how many sexual abuse complaints they receive annually, but an investigation revealed that there was a file on over 50 coaches who were accused.

Gennifer Flowers Hottest Photos

Gennifer Flowers is an Arkansas news reporter who admitted on national television that she had been in a 12-year relationship with Bill Clinton while he was the governor of the state. Following her announcement, her interview with Larry King Live! gathered the largest audience for the show ever. Flowers did a few more interviews and even posed for Penthouse for an adult-rated photo shoot.

Flowers recently came back into the news after Donald Trump’s camp announced they would be inviting Flowers to sit in the first row of the first Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

It was soon announced that the announcement was a hoax and that she wouldn’t be attending the debate. Still, with Donald Trump you never really know…

If you wanted to buy a date with Harley Quinn, it would not be cheap, unsurprisingly. According to cashback rewards site QuidCo, fans of Margot Robbie are willing to spend $53,559 to go on a date with her. That’s more than most people make in an entire year. That’s more than I make in an entire year, and I would happily spend it all for one night with Margot Robbie.

As for the lis produced by QuidCo, Idris Elba topped the list for the most-desired for women, commanding a fee of $26,417 according to The Sun.

Two thousand British interviewees participated in the survey to “pay for the things in life that money CANNOT buy.” Men were more concerned about having an attractive wife whereas their counterparts weren’t as interested in looks.

Interestingly enough, the most expensive commodity was to start a completely new life. More than half of the voters said they would pay $11,277,853. million for that opportunity.

Living stress free, eating whatever you want and not gain any weigh,t and having naturally good teeth were the most popular things people put a price of.

Who says you can’t put a price on priceless things? People seemed eager to do just that in the survey. Here’s a list of the things that were given a out-of-budget price tag.

  • A completely new life – $11,277,853 million
  • To have good health for you and your family – $4,118,423 million
  • For your partner to never cheat – $213,707
  • To be super intelligent – $199,934
  • To have a good-looking wife – $120,599
  • To have a good-looking husband – $88,780
  • To be better looking – $73,781
  • A date with Margot Robbie – $53,559
  • A date with Idris Elba – $26,417
  • To enjoy your job – $22,589
  • To have a good night’s sleep for a year – $14,068

  • A rain-free summer – $1917
  • The perfect kiss – $741

That’s Strange… The Warriors Left Out Day 31 In Their Countdown To The Regular Season

In the age of social media, professional sports teams attempt to be as interactive as possible. The only professional sports teams I follow are the Mets and the Jets, and both teams have used social media to count down to the start of the upcoming seasons. It’s a practice most professional sports teams engage in, including the Golden State Warriors. However, this year, something about the Warriors countdown was off. And by off, I mean they totally skipped over day number 31 in their countdown. Now, whyyyyyy could that be?

The Western Conference champions kick off their season 31 days from now, their first game since they lost Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, a series in which it held a 3-1 lead. 3-1. 31. Get it? whoever runs the Warriors social media accounts was REALLY trying his hardest to avoid getting trolled, so he said f*ck it and just skipped day 31 entirely.

The internet is a ruthless, harsh place, so I can’t necessarily blame their social guy. HOWEVER, this move reeks of ‘trying too hard’ and I would argue sets them up for potentially more criticism. If I know anything about the internet (and I’m a blogger so that’s technically my job), it’s that the internet much prefers self-depreciating humor over avoiding and hiding from the issue.

Not that any of this matters, though, as the Warriors are as serious of a lock to win it all as there’s ever been in professional sports.

Paul Pierce plans to call it a career after playing in his 19th NBA season next season. Pierce calls the upcoming season his last and that “It’s time to move on from the game of basketball.

With 10 All-Star appearances and one championship with the Boston Celtics, Pierce has had a memorable career. He may have played his last few years with his hometown team, the Los Angeles Clippers, but his name will always be synonymous with the Celtics.

“With the Clippers, in the city where I grew up, I feel like I have that opportunity on a great team,” Pierce wrote. “We’re hungry. We want to win a championship.”

The 2008 Finals MVP has averaged 20.6 points and 5.7 rebounds in his 18-year career. He is one of many players that has been in the news regarding retirement. Just this year, future Hall-Of-Famers Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Durant retired and Paul is one of the last few remaining players that was drafted in the 1990s.

“After 18 NBA years, it’s hard to believe I’ll be playing in each arena for the last time. So I’m going to enjoy every practice, every bus ride, every team dinner, every time running out through the tunnel. I’m going to do my part to give us a shot at the ultimate goal.

This is it, my final season.”

The Indianapolis Colts got their first win of the season Sunday, beating the San Diego Chargers 26-22. With roughly 90 seconds left in the 4th quarter, Andrew Luck connected with T.Y. Hilton for a 63-yard game-winning touchdown.

Exciting stuff, right!? Nothing like a thrilling, come-from-behind victory in front of a raucous home crowd to get your blood flowing. Unless of course, you’re Colts radio announcer Bob Lamey. When the clock hit zero, Lamey was just happy that the game was finally over. Here’s how Lamey so eloquently described his feelings.

Damn, Bobby. Where’s your enthusiasm? He would later apologize for dropping an f-bomb, but I think he should apologize instead for being such a Debbie Downer.

In the future, I’m all for Lamey using as much profanity as he wants. I just think he needs to take the massive dump out of his pants first. All the other miserable teams in the AFC South better look out. The Colts are back, baby!

Why Is Facebook Asking For Government ID? Updates & Info

Some of you using Facebook might have noticed that the social media has recently asked you to upload a photo of your government ID to prove that you’re really the user. This just started today and as far as we know this is the first time that we’ve ever even heard of this. But apparently after a quick search on Twitter we see that people have been affected by this since early September 2016.

Two separate people in our office have just been hit with this within the past fifteen minutes. The first prompt takes you to a page that reads like this:

facebook government identification

Rather than upload a photo of an extremely important document to the internet, we decided to click continue. After that, we were taken to this page, asking us to enter one of the following alternatives.

facebook-government-id

Again, we chose the “I don’t have any of these IDs” because we weren’t about to share that information with Facebook. Here’s where we were taken.

facebook government id


What Happens If I Don’t Upload My ID?

If you don’t upload a photo of your ID, then you’ll be removed from Facebook, for real. You’ll be logged out of Facebook permanently until you upload your ID, which is some serious amount of bullsh*t if you ask us.

Here’s an email that we were sent by Facebook after some of our clicks showed our anger at the social media site:

Hi,

We’ve asked you to verify your identify because it looks like you may have multiple accounts or may not be using your authentic identity.

If you’ve already tried to log in to Facebook and followed the instructions, but weren’t able to verify your identity, please reply to this email and attach an image of your government-issued photo ID to the message. You can use a scanner or take a photo of your ID.

If you don’t have a government-issued photo ID, you can also send us 2 different forms of ID (ex: school ID, credit card) that both show the same name. One of the IDs must also include a photo or date of birth that matches the information on your Facebook profile.

If you don’t have an ID that shows the name you use in real life and your photo or date of birth, you can provide 2 forms of ID that show the same name and a government ID that includes a date of birth or photo that matches the information on your profile.

Eventually, after we learned that we’d be blocked from Facebook forever unless we uploaded a photo of our government ID, we broke a sent a picture of our driver’s license. So when you learn in two years that Facebook was hacked by some Russians, you’ll see our information somewhere in the wiki. FML.

The White House announced yesterday that they will be inviting Academy Award-winning, Pussy Posse-founding, bear-slaying American national treasure, Leonardo DiCaprio, to meet with President Obama next week to discuss climate change at the South by Southwest Festival. The October 3 meeting will be followed by a screening of DiCaprio’s new climate documentary Before the Flood. I don’t know if you knew this but our boy Leo is one of those hardcore environment freaks.

To announce the meeting, the White House posted a photo to their Twitter account that shows Obama and Leo chatting it up, presumably talking about one of their many common interests (?):

Naturally, the internet had a field day, and by field day, I mean they memed the everliving hell out of the moment:

Beachapalooza 2016 Recap

Beachapalooza is an annual party that the animals over at CU-Boulder Kappa Sigma hold once a year. We’ve been covering Beachapalooza for the past few years and think that it ranks up there as a perennial Top 5 college party, which isn’t something to scoff at when you’ve got literally tens of thousands of fraternities trying to throw unforgettable ragers.

A lot of effort and money goes into planning a “Welcome Back” party that blows everybody’s socks off, yet here we are again: wishing out loud that we were students at CU-Boulder. Check out the video below.

And if videos of the party weren’t good enough for you, check out some photos from Beachapalooza 2016. Is it just me or have college chicks started evolving the bathing suit game into something that’s almost out of Hollywood movies?
