There are like four layers of comedy happening in this 15-second local Oregon news clip 😭 1. Tyriq Withers quoted a 10-year-old Baton Rouge nightclub shooting meme on live TV 2. British Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya stood there and gave a completely dead-serious speech about saving lives right after getting called *my homegirl" 3. Nobody has explained why these two were traveling together out of Eugene, Oregon in the first place The FAA ground stop accidentally leaked a whole movie.
Tyriq Withers references the “Bella Noche” meme while being interviewed with Daniel Kaluuya about the FAA’s nationwide ground stop: “It’s upsetting me and my homegirl, because if you can’t go to the airport, where the hell can you go?”

NEWS A new anti-DEI law championed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has resulted in the cancellation of a St. Patrick’s Day parade. The city of Delray Beach announced that it was pulling the plug on the popular 60-year-old spectacle — as well as the city’s annual Pride celebration — after it did a review of Florida Senate Bill 1134, which DeSantis signed into law.

I've been waiting ten years for someone to speak as plainly as Abdul has. It's really this easy. Everyone else in the party needs to get with the program.
Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump. Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president. AES: True. Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is. AES: True. Q: Why are you taking that approach? AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.
