Arnold Schwarzenegger Had The Most On-Brand Response After Being Called Out For Fixing 'Giant Pothole'

After SoCal Gas announced they'd paved over Schwarzenegger's repair of a neglected service trench in a Los Angeles street, Arnold responded with a very on-brand tweet.

Just yesterday we learned our favorite Terminator actor and former Governor of California patched a pothole in his neighborhood.

That’s right.


Arnold Schwarzenegger was not afraid to get his hands dirty and fix the problem he had been dealing with for months.

But shortly after Schwarzenegger's video went viral, city officials claimed the "pothole" was an active service trench for SoCalGas, needed until May.

But SoCalGas said the hole was actually from work completed at the beginning of the year.

“On January 26, 2023, SoCalGas crews completed work to upgrade the pipeline system on Mandeville Canyon Road in Brentwood.”

The gas company went on to explain that usually service sites such as these were repaired within 30 days of completion but the weather prevented them from doing so.

Since Governor Schwarzenegger’s DIY repair, SoCalGas has gone in to reinforce the spot.

Marissa Girolamo, a communications manager at SoCalGas said:

“We did leave the patch that Governor Schwarzenegger applied, however yesterday our crews went back to the site and we used special equipment to go over the patch to make it all strong."

The actor, and now pothole repairer extraordinaire, had quite the response.

Twitter, too, was pumped up.







The only question that remains is—when there’s another pothole or open service trench waiting to be fixed—will he be back?

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.
