When this woman had had enough of her PTA's drama-causing antics she proceeded to infiltrate their system and work her way through the ranks until she was in a place of effective power. From there she showed all that PTA's Karens who the real boss was. Basically, she dissolved the previous team and replaced it with one of her own. Job well done. 

Since American approval rating of Congress generally hovers somewhere between 18 and 30 percent, it's not inaccurate to say that in general, the American people have a pretty unfavorable view of how their own country decides things. Michael Grunwald described the process of Danish Parliament. It seems more efficient.

PETA is facing a bit of backlash after sharing their Super Bowl ad that was rejected by the NFL, on Twitter. The comments are pouring in, and would seem to carry the common theme of general outrage and confusion over a display of clueless stupidity. I mean, fish don't have knees. Come on. 

Nothing melts our icy hearts like a fact checker getting fact checked themselves. When it comes to online squabbles, people have a tendency to approach the situations like bulls in a china shop, and often throw out all kinds of BS, cause they feel that overwhelming desire to be the most right person in the room. And sometimes that BS is misleading information they haven't even bothered to verify before trying to pass it off as the ultimate truth. 

Twitter user @AdamWeinstein went ahead and detailed his unbelievably frustrating experience trying to navigate using his health insurance. He ends up having to jump through all kinds of frustrating hoops. Definitely gives off the impression that the insurance is doing anything but helping his cause. 

This health insurance exec's Twitter thread on America's healthcare system, and whether or not it preserves a "choice" is going viral. Healthcare should be a right, and not a privilege indeed!

For those not in the know, "OK Boomer" is a dismissive retort often used to disregard or mock Baby Boomers and those who are perceived as old-fashioned and being out-of-touch. Part of this phenomenon is the feature that many baby boomers themselves consider this to be an ageist slur. This in turn has been seen by many as a hypocritical overreaction that has been met with more Ok Boomer Roasting on Twitter. The whole thing has stirred up more discussion and argument about age and politics. Here is a Gen-X perspective and explanation of why "ok boomer" is becoming more than just a thing people say on Twitter.

Police in Galveston, Texas issued an apology after their officers on horseback were seen leading a black man by rope through the streets on Saturday. The 43-year-old man Donald Neely was arrested for criminal trespassing after having been warned by the cops a few times. 

Police claim that the two patrolmen didn't have any "malicious intent", and hadn't tied his hands with rope, but the picture circulating on news outlets suggests otherwise, and actually, it really just confirms that this was an unbelievable kind of cruel. 

The attorney for Mr. Neely's family says that the man is homeless and bipolar. His family hadn't seen him for several years until the photo went viral online. 

The feral hog memes are everywhere after a full-fledged idiot asked a "legit question" on Twitter about what he's supposed to do to keep his kids playing in their backyard safe, if 30-50 feral hogs show up. He claims he'd need an assault weapon to handle the chaos. The internet treated his "legit question" with a flood of spicy feral hog memes, all poking fun at the mindless tweet. 

This is NOT a loophole. A separate Twitter thread inspired another one back on Tumblr, that calls out the industrial prison complex for what it is. And that would not be a loophole, or tragic accident.
