Another April Fools' Day come and gone, another time Greta Thunberg proved to us she's a social media master.

Thunberg, known for her snappy comebacks and witty posts on her Twitter, made a post on April 1st where she said she'd compiled a video full of resources and ideas that everyone can do to slow down the effects of the climate crisis.


When you clicked the link, what do you think you saw?

Well, some of the older folks among us weren't quite sure at first.





Mostly people were absolutely floored at how funny and quick Greta Thunberg is over her social media.





It's a rite of passage for anybody who has ever been on the internet to be "Rickrolled," aka, tricked into clicking a link of "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

The phenomenon made its way outside of the internet, too, and even made it to the likes of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Disney film Ralph Breaks The Internet.





Thanks, Greta, for your work. We ALL must do our part to prevent climate change and a climate crisis.

Including Rick Astley.

Trump Just Compared His Idea To Put ICE Agents In Airports To The Invention Of The Paper Clip—And, What?

Speaking to reporters about whose idea it was to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, President Donald Trump weirded people out when he compared the decision to the invention of the paper clip.

Samuel B. Fay patented the first bent-wire paper clip in 1867—about 159 years ago. The now-familiar “Gem” paper clip design commonly sold in office supply stores appeared around 1892, roughly 134 years ago, and was never patented in the United States.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
