Trump Slammed After Seemingly Believing Patently False Post From Satirical Website About Obama
Trump reposted what appeared to be a screenshot of an X post referencing the article, adding his own reaction: "WOW!"
@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social
Dunning-Kruger Times
The Dunning-Kruger effect refers to a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly overestimate their knowledge or competence in a given domain, often because limited self-awareness prevents them from recognizing their own shortcomings.
According to its "About Us" section, The Dunning-Kruger Times is part of the "America’s Last Line of Defense" network, which describes itself as a hub for "parody, satire and tomfoolery, or as Snopes called it before they lost their war on satire: Junk News."
It adds:
“Everything on this website is fiction. It is not a lie and it is not fake news because it is not real. If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
People agreed that sure said a lot about Trump—who clearly can't tell satire from reality.
Trump's post coincided with a Senate vote that brought Congress closer to ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Lawmakers voted 60–40 to advance a spending deal that notably omits an extension of the expanded ACA subsidies.
Under the current agreement, the enhanced subsidies would expire, though senators would have the option to revisit the issue later in the year. Supporters of the compromise say that deferring the vote was the only viable path forward, as many Republicans refused to discuss the subsidies until the government is reopened.
Still, there’s no assurance that an extension will ultimately pass. Even if the Senate approves it, the measure faces an uphill battle in the House.

Fans Defend Kim Kardashian After She's Hit With Mockery For Failing California Bar Exam
This month, Kardashian announced on her Instagram Stories that she completed the California bar exam back on July 29 and 30 but that, at least for this round, she was not successful in passing it.
Kardashian wrote on her stories:
"Well... I'm not a lawyer yet. I just play a very well-dressed one on TV."
"Six years into this law journey, and I'm still all in until I pass the bar."
"No shortcuts, no giving up, just more studying and even more determination."
"Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far."
"Falling short isn't failure; it's fuel. I was so close to passing the exam, and that only motivated me even more. Let's go!"
You can see a screenshot of her Instagram Story here:

Kardashian previously passed the "Baby Bar Exam" after four attempts, which is intended for first-year law degree students.
Then and now, she's emphasized the importance of working hard and not depending on others for her success.
"Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection."
"For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me."
After seeing one of her outfit choices in the pilot episode of All's Fair, we might have different definitions of "well-dressed."

All jokes aside, the California bar exam is challenging, with approximately 30 percent of people not passing on their first try.
The exam includes five essay questions that last one hour each, a 90-minute performance test, and a timed multiple-choice test of 200 questions. Very few people pass the bar on their first attempt, and many give up before passing.
Kardashian may have not passed this time, but if her business savvy and her persistence are any indicator, she will continue until she succeeds and can practice law.
Kardashian's Instagram Story was met with mixed remarks. Some openly criticized the SKIMS founder and her fame.
But others applauded her for working hard and not taking the easy path.
Kardashian reflected on the experience:
"Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up."
"Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph, especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared."
"That's the beauty of life: you step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away."
"This experience has shaped me profoundly, and I'll carry its lessons with me forever. Here's to celebrating resilience and new beginnings!"
Maybe we should all take a page out of Kardashian's book and celebrate the possibility of pushing ourselves to new heights and learning something new. It doesn't have to be as extreme as the California bar exam to be great.
Comedian Nikki Glaser Divides Fans With 'SNL' Monologue Jokes About Slavery And Human Trafficking
The chaos started early with her opening line:
“Here I am in New York City, Epstein’s original island!”
Cue the sound of 200 people laughing through sheer panic. The 41-year-old comedian doubled down moments later, circling back to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell while riffing on her Gen Z friends’ fear of human trafficking.
She quipped:
“In my 20s, I just feared good old-fashioned rape. I didn’t think it would be a career. We didn’t think it was anything more than a temp job at a frat-house futon. They’re like, ‘We’re safer when you’re with us because they think you’re our madam. You have resting Ghislaine face, so keep that up.’”
If that didn’t clear the air, she followed it with a story about her 4-year-old nephew, a bit that managed to turn pure discomfort into an art form.
With her trademark deadpan delivery, Glaser joked:
“My sister’s like, ‘He can shower with you, it’s fine—he does it with us.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, but are you cool with an adult showering with your child? What if I molest him?’"
"She goes, ‘Would you?’ and I’m like, ‘No! I’d never! That’s disgusting! But honestly… that’s exactly what I’d say if I was going to.’”
It was the kind of joke that made half the audience laugh, half recoil, and everyone wonder whether therapy should now be included in the Peacock Premium subscription.
Then, without missing a beat, she dropped:
“Don’t trust anyone. I don’t even trust myself.”
Somewhere, Lorne Michaels probably exhaled in relief—that’s precisely what he booked her for.
Glaser didn’t stop at taboo family humor.
She lobbed a Trump-tan grenade:
“He picked an insane shade. He went pretty dark. He didn’t go Kamala, but he picked a shade that half of America was like, ‘Okay, we can still tell he’s white.’”
The audience laughed—half in shock, half in recognition—the kind of uneasy chuckle that says, “Well… she’s not wrong.”
And just to make sure no one accused her of punching down, Glaser turned the spray-tan lamp on herself:
“I feel like that’s cultural appropriation. I don’t know. I mean, it’s not blackface, but it is Guatemalan leg. This is not my leg. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, me llamo is Nikki!’ Am I saying that right?”
It was a joke so specific you could practically hear every spray-tanned Real Housewives star shifting uncomfortably on their couch.
For those brave enough to relive the chaos (or see what everyone’s tweeting about), you can watch the full monologue below:
- YouTubeSaturday Night Live
If you’ve ever seen Glaser perform, none of this should come as a surprise. Her brand is dark, fearless, and unapologetically self-aware, the kind of comedy that makes you laugh, then immediately prompts you to text your therapist.
She’s the same comic who once told Blake Griffin, “You look like a Black guy that got made by a printer running out of ink,” and informed Jewel, “Your teeth are like the Spice Girls—they’re all different colors and doing their own things.”
Lorne didn’t hire her for wholesome one-liners; he hired a grenade with perfect timing.
Her latest special, Someday You’ll Die, earned Emmy, Critics’ Choice, and Golden Globe nominations with material like this gem on infertility:
“You hear about a teen who gets raped by her uncle, and God’s like, ‘Here’s twins,’ and you’re like, ‘What the f**k? Are you serious? I’m over here trying.’ So, my boyfriend and I have stopped doing that role-play because that was risky. We were playing with fire!”
In short: Nikki Glaser doesn’t just cross lines; she redraws them in permanent marker.
Social media lit up like Studio 8H’s applause sign, with half applauding her “no-filter feminism” and half demanding an apology in Notes app form.

Saturday’s episode wasn’t all controversy, though. Musical guest Sombr made his SNL debut, and Glaser appeared in one of the night’s standout sketches, “Spirit Tunnel Anxiety,” a fake infomercial for Hudsacillin, a medication for celebrities terrified of walking through the exuberant “spirit tunnel” on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
In the bit, Glaser groaned:
“I love Jennifer Hudson, but as a middle-aged white woman, I felt trapped…”
You can watch the hilarious sketch here:
- YouTubeSaturday Night Live
The real Jennifer Hudson loved it, reposting the clip and inviting Glaser to the show herself. The invitation was probably genuine, though one can imagine Hudson’s publicist quietly Googling "Hudsacillin side effects."
In the end, Nikki Glaser delivered precisely what her fans expect from her: sharp, fearless, and delightfully reckless comedy that doesn't apologize for itself. Whether you love or loathe her, she successfully completed the SNL hosting challenge, making the audience laugh, squirm, and generate online buzz before Sunday brunch.
Somewhere, Lorne Michaels is likely toasting her performance while hoping that Trump's FCC doesn’t reach out to him again.
Maya Hawke Just Revealed Mom Uma Thurman's Shady 'Advice' About Working With Quentin Tarantino
From Uma Thurman’s barefoot twist contest in Pulp Fiction to Margot Robbie propping up her soles on a movie seat in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, Tarantino’s lens has been toe-deep in controversy. And yes, the man once wrote himself into From Dusk Till Dawn just so he could drink tequila off Salma Hayek’s foot.
As Brad Pitt once joked during his 2020 SAG Awards speech:
“I want to thank my co-stars, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie’s feet, Margaret Qualley’s feet, Dakota Fanning’s feet. Seriously, Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA.”
But this week, the conversation came full circle—or perhaps full arch—when Maya Hawke, daughter of Tarantino muse Uma Thurman, revealed that even she got a parental warning before stepping onto one of his sets. Appearing on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, Hawke was asked if her mom offered any advice before she worked with the director.
Without missing a beat, Hawke replied:
“Keep your shoes on.”
Somewhere, a thousand film students let out a collective gasp, and Quentin Tarantino felt a great disturbance in the Barefoot Force, as if a million toes suddenly curled in terror.
Poehler burst out laughing, adding:
“Keep ’em on, baby. Perfect advice. Perfect.”
Keep ’em on—and with socks, ladies.
You can watch the now-viral clip below:
It’s the kind of mother-daughter exchange that sums up 30 years of pop-culture awareness, a mix of Gilmore Girls wisdom, Hollywood folklore, and mild trauma.
Because Uma Thurman didn’t just hear about Tarantino’s foot fixation; she practically lived it. Between the “wiggle your big toe” scene in Kill Bill and countless barefoot close-ups in Pulp Fiction, her feet are practically A-list celebrities in their own right.
And for the record, Hawke managed to keep her shoes firmly laced while playing Manson Family member “Flowerchild” in the 2019 film. Her co-star Margaret Qualley, however, carried the torch—literally pressing her filthy soles against Brad Pitt’s windshield for one of the film’s most screenshot-worthy shots. Somewhere, Tarantino probably called it “visual poetry.”
For those who don’t know: Maya’s parents, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, were one of Hollywood’s golden couples of the late ’90s, marrying in 1998 after meeting on the set of Gattaca. They split in 2003 amid rumors of infidelity and finalized their divorce in 2005, leaving Maya to grow up between two A-list households—and, apparently, some very memorable advice.
In Jay Glennie’s behind-the-scenes book The Making of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Hawke recalled her first audition with the director:
“I knew that Quentin was going to be there, and I have known him my whole life. But, of course, in the room that day, he was very different, you know? He wasn’t, like, kooky Uncle Quentin—he was in serious mode.”
That’s right: she literally grew up knowing Tarantino as “Uncle Quentin.” Which makes her mom’s warning even funnier, and just a little unsettling. It’s one thing to have a signature visual motif; it’s another when that motif could double as a WikiFeet page.
Even Uma Thurman herself once addressed the foot rumors in a 2004 appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.
When asked about Tarantino’s alleged fetish, she said:
“I think you should definitely bring it up with him. You should spend the entire interview talking to him about his potential foot fetish.”
It’s the sort of deflection only a true professional (and survivor of Kill Bill’s infamous car crash stunt) could deliver with a smile. Thurman was seriously injured during that scene, a moment that strained her relationship with Tarantino for years, which makes her current ability to joke about his quirks all the more impressive.
Tarantino, meanwhile, continues to pretend it’s all just a cinematic coincidence.
In a 2021 British GQ interview, he said:
“I don’t take it seriously. There’s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors’ movies. That’s just good direction. Like, before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it, and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it.”
A bold defense, considering no one remembers Vertigo for its pedicure shots.
Still, the internet can’t decide if Maya’s mom was being funny, protective, or just subtly calling out Hollywood’s creepiest open secret.

As for Maya Hawke, she’s doing just fine post-Tarantino. She’s fresh off voicing the character “Anxiety” in Pixar’s Inside Out 2, which shattered records to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Reflecting on that emotional experience, she told Poehler:
“I think with, like, the joy-anxiety relationship, it taught me a lot about showing love to that part of myself. And that is all, actually, a way to calm it down: inviting it into the conversation.”
And yes, that’s the same Amy Poehler who plays Joy, so their on-mic therapy session hit especially hard.
Hawke continued:
“I’ve had so many people feel so seen by it and, like, little kids feel so seen by it—and it helped them understand their brain better.”
You can watch the full Good Hang episode with Poehler and Hawke here, equal parts therapy session, comedy hour, and Hollywood family folklore:
- YouTubeGood Hang with Amy Poehler
While Quentin Tarantino may still be the undisputed champion of cinematic soles, Hawke clearly has both feet on the ground—and firmly in her shoes, thank you very much. It turns out that her mother's advice operates on multiple levels: keep your shoes on, maintain clear boundaries, and never underestimate Hollywood's ability to transform a footnote into a full-blown fetish scandal.
