Do NOT mess with the cheerleader

It’s amazing enough that a 16 year old girl was able to tackle and subdue a shoplifter, but the fact that she did it in a strapless dress is, to me, by far the craziest part of this story.

Celebrating the good kids

Sometimes I think that teenagers are evil aliens sent from another planet, intent on destroying or simply just ruining life on Earth. It’s nice when they do something that makes me rethink this idea. Today’s heartwarming kids: the students of Washington State’s Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools, who sort of had a lip dub-off. Shorecrest started it with Outkast’s Hey Ya, and Shorewood responded by performing Hall and Oates’ You Make My Dreams Come True – in reverse. Both videos are great, but now I have the entire Hall and Oates catalog stuck in my head.

Why is James Lipton so awesome???

How does he strike the right note to make these PSAs work both as straightforward “don’t be stupid” advice to teens, and subtle self-mockery? I don’t understand!! Anyway, the PSAs are amazing. The next time I’m tempted to text a photo of my junk to somebody, I will remember this and think again.

Meh

I suppose I should post something happy in honor of Thanksgiving, but whatever. This story is awful, which makes sense, because teenagers suck. Later today or tomorrow I’ll post some pictures that are so cute that you brain will explode.
