Monday, August 17, was the first day of the Democratic National Convention, and many notable Democrats from all over the country virtually converged to give speeches on their visions for the future of the party.

One speaker, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, gave a well-reviewed speech, saying:


" Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will lead by example. Science, not politics or ego, will drive their decisions."

But as good as her speech was, something else she said that night would ultimately get far more attention.

Just before going live, Whitmer was caught on a hot mic explaining Shark Week to an offscreen friend.

"It's not just Shark Week...It's Shark Week, motherf*ckers."

Whitmer's phrase is often circulated by super-fans of Shark Week to express their enthusiasm.


After laughter around the studio, Whitmer seemed to call out the moment on her own, saying with a finger wag:

"I have learned about the hot mic."



Twitter's love for Whitmer only grew after hearing her statement.



Can you really trust a governor who isn't excited about Shark Week?



Many were surprised this wasn't some sort of comedy sketch.

Whitmer continues to amass new fans with her love of sharks.

The Democratic National Convention will continue on Tuesday, August 18. If only more of the politicians who are going to be there would express their opinions on Shark Week!

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.
