Funny AND sad.

The planet is hurtling toward climate catastrophe and getting American lawmakers to acknowledge that climate change is even real can be like pulling teeth.

That's why many related to George Clooney's frustration in a recent mock PSA presented on Jimmy Kimmel Live.


The PSA is for the fictional organization United to Defeat Untruthful Misinformation and Support Science (UDUMASS), which works to convince people that climate change is real, vaccinations work, and dinosaurs existed.

Watch below:

The announcement is chock full of cameos from lawmakers perpetuating misinformation and ignorance. One is Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), who, four years ago, brought a snowball to the senate floor as evidence that global warming was fake because it was cold outside. President Donald Trump also makes an appearance, claiming that the noise from "windmills" (wind turbines, in reality) causes cancer.

But, through donations, there's hope.

Clooney promises:

"Your generous contribution to UDUMASS will provide desperately needed knowledge to dumb f---ing idiots on Facebook and Twitter all around the world. For just $20, we'll convince one f---ing idiot that climate change is real. Fifty will teach five brainless dumb f---s to vaccinate their kids and 200 will teach ten dips--t knuckledraggers that dinosaurs existed—but not at the same time as people."

People threw their support behind UDUMASS.

You may not be able to donate to the fictional UDUMASS, but you can absolutely vote!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
