The Moment You Realize Your Fashion Sense is "Hotel Lobby"
Twitter Found a Tongue-in-Cheek Way to Make More Movies "Oscar Worthy" With #MakeAMovieWhiter
The Oscars have been the subject of controversy since nominees were announced and this became the second year in a row that every nominee in the acting categories is white. This inspired a Twitter hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, and many people have spoken out on the subject since then. It's also been the butt of the joke in a recent SNL sketch and now Twitter is taking it on again with hashtag prompt #MakeAMovieWhiter.

I Don't Know That I'd be This Brave, But Apparently You Can Stand Real Close to an Assault Rifle Under Water and Not Get Shot
Science, y'all!:
It's harder to create movement in water than in air, because water molecules are closer together than air molecules. To show the difference in resistance, physicist Andreas Wahl puts himself in front of a weapon submerged in water and fires it - on himself.

The Reason This Starbucks Barista is Dancing Will Put a Smile On Your Face
When he was offered a position to work at Starbucks Sam told his parents that for the first time in his life. That his life had real meaning.
Sam was diagnosed with autism and like some people with autism Sam has a movement disorder. Sam has a hard time keeping his body still. Sam never thought that he would be able to work behind the bar because of his sudden movements but his manager Chris believed in him and got Sam to channel his movements into dance.
It has taken Sam and Chris a lot of shifts and hours to get Sam to do what he is doing in the video. Sam is now known as the dancing barista. If it wasn't for Chris believing in Sam he would of never believed in himself.
More people like Sam need to be seen, heard and given a chance to thrive and dance."

This Last Minute Competitor in a Half-Marathon Took Seventh Place and All of Our Hearts
This athletic pup is named Ludivine, and according to her owner, she's prone to escaping and taking long strolls around town. This time she happened to wander into the start line of the Elkmont Half-Marathon in Alabama.
Attendees, including Tim Horvath who ran most of the race with Ludivine, told Runner's World that she ran the whole race from start to finish.
Although she did make a few pit stops that included meeting another dog and sniffing countless yards and streams, she still managed to finish seventh in the race.
Volunteers were so surprised that she ran the whole race they gave her an honorary medal for her seventh place spot.
