TRUMP IS A NICKELBACK FAN 

Conservatives Troll Trump With 'Photograph' 

Of Him And Arrested Giuliani Pals

Look at this photograph...

That didn’t take long. 

A picture of President Donald Trump with Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman ― two associates of Rudy Giuliani who were arrested this week on federal campaign finance charges ― has already been given the Nickelback “Photograph” treatment. 

And it came from the right, not the left.

Conservative website The Bulwark, which often features anti-Trump commentary from the right, shared this clip from senior video editor Barry Rubin: 

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH pic.twitter.com/vy92z1MyXb

The clip, of course, was a reference to a tweet Trump posted last week taunting former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. That photo showed the Bidens with someone identified as a “Ukrainian gas exec,” but was actually Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner Devon Archer. Archer and the former vice president’s son were on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma Holdings.

Trump’s tweet was removed when Nickelback filed a copyright complaint. 

Victorian women were once asked why they were spinsters and their responses were incredible

In other spinster-related news, writer Sophia Benoit recently went viral after she Tweeted that she had discovered that the word spinster was actually reserved for women aged 23-26, and that after you turn 26, and you're still unmarried, women were referred to as Thornbacks. Yes, you read that correctly. 

In the tweet she wrote: 

Omg I just found out that spinster used to be reserved for women 23-26 and that after you turned 26 if you were unmarried you became a.... THORNBACK. How f****** great is that name!?

Ivanka Trump spells 'Nobel Peace Prize' wrong in Insta Story and that's not even the worst bit

Sirena Bergman

Ivanka Trump's Instagram stories is having quite a moment.

After the announcement that Abiy Ahmed, prime minister of Ethiopia, had won the Nobel Peace Prize, Ivanka (or her presumably now-former social media manager) posted a story congratulating him.

It wasn't even your basic caption in standard Instagram font - they went all out to put together a cute little collage featuring string lights, a picture of the two of them together and a nice note aimed at Ahmed.

So far, so fresh and fun, right?

(Instagram/Ivanka Trump)


Until you actually read the words, and realise that what she's congratulating him on is some sort of "noble" peace prize.

Yep, that's noble as in "a person of high moral principles", as opposed to "Nobel" as in Alfred Nobel - founder of the prize and Swedish 19th century icon who we're going to crown a proto-millennial by virtue of his wildly diverse career and constant reinvention of his personal brand, from chemist, to inventor, engineer, self-taught polyglot and writer.

Granted, in the grand scheme of typos it's not *the worst* ("Noble Piece Prize" would have added an extra level), and perhaps we can be generous and call it a Freudian slip - winning a Nobel Prize could indeed be seen as a measure of nobility, we assume.

As cringey as the spelling mistake is, it's not even the worst bit.

In a painfully relatable twist, it turns out Ivanka's shout-out was irrelevant anyway as Ahmed doesn't even follow her. Bit awks.

Do Octopuses Dream? Scientists Debate the 8-Legged Creatures’ Sleeping Habits After Intriguing Video

The video, from the PBS docu-series Nature, shows an octopus named Heidi dramatically changing color while she sleeps

By Ashley Boucher October 09, 2019

A stunning video of a scientist’s pet octopus has the scientific community asking the question: do octopuses dream?

The video features an octopus named Heidi, who was caught on camera in her tank in Alaska Pacific University octopus researcher David Scheel’s living room for the PBS docu-series Nature.

In the clip, Heidi is stuck to the glass side of the tank, asleep. But what happens during her nap is extraordinary. Heidi begins to change colors and texture, just as she would if she were reacting to stimuli while she was awake.

Scheel said he had never seen such a response recorded before.

“If she is dreaming, this is a dramatic moment,” Scheel said as Heidi changed color from yellowish to white.

Scheel said that watching Heidi’s body changes can help come up with a narrative of her dream, if she is, in fact, dreaming.

He narrates: “So here, she’s asleep. She sees a crab and her color starts to change a little bit. Then she turns all dark” — at this point in the video, Heidi turns a dramatic shade of dark purple, and then suddenly back to white — “octopuses will do that when they leave the bottom.”

Shortly after, Heidi begins to display “camouflage,” which Scheel said looks as if “she just subdued a crab and now she’s going to sit there and eat it, and she doesn’t want anyone to notice her.”

“It’s a very unusual behavior, to see the color come and go on her mantle like that,” Scheel said. “I mean just to be able to see all the different color patterns, just flashing one after another. You don’t usually see that when an animal is sleeping, which really is fascinating.”

Octopuses are some of the smartest animals on the planet, but some researchers are hesitant to confirm that they dream while asleep, saying that more data needs to be collected.

“You’ve got some evidence in front of you, but you’d need to know so much more to understand better what’s causing the behavior,” University of Cambridge psychologist Nicola Clayton told the New York Times, likening studying Heidi’s sleep behavior to studying a “crime scene.”

If Heidi is sleeping, though, her pal Scheel likes to think of her catching and snacking on that crab.

“If she’s dreaming, that’s the dream,” he said in the video with a laugh.
