All this self-isolation and shelter-in-place orders have all of us changing our routines and finding ways to pass the time now that life as we know it has essentially stopped.

Naturally, one thing many of us have turned to is finally cleaning out all the junk drawers and decaying boxes crammed in our closets.


And for Robin Williams's daughter Zelda, this activity led her to a tiny piece of buried treasure: a very sweet old photo strip of her and her late dad from back in 2006.

Zelda posted the "fun old gems" as she called them to her Twitter account on Wednesday.

The photos show Zelda and her late dad, who passed away in 2014, posed in three adorable and silly poses that give a real glimpse into the sort of tender, silly father the iconic funnyman must have been.

As some eagle-eyed Tweeters discovered, the photos' location itself is yet another fun blast from the past.

The photos were snapped in the photo booth at MTV's bygone afternoon live show TRL, which became an after-school staple for scores of millennial teens from 1998-2008. It has since been revived in several different iterations.

The show, which made The Voice and Today Show host Carson Daly a household name and featured the final television appearance of Beyoncé-led trio Destiny's Child, among other milestones, played the top 10 most-requested music videos of the day, along with visits from celebrity guests.

It was the latter that spawned the tradition of the on-set photo booth where Zelda and her dad snapped the adorable photo strip back in 2006.

The delightful blast from the past that Zelda found comes on the heels of another sweet moment between her and her dad: when she tried the "Which Disney Character Are You?" Instagram filter and got a heart-warming result.

Folks on Twitter were, of course, were deeply moved by this sweet moment Zelda unearthed.











Go clean out those drawers, kids. You never know what treasures you might find!.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
