The University of Massachusetts' Twitter account announced on Sunday, September 18 the team's Pride Day would take place on Saturday, October 8 during the UMass football game against Liberty University.

Even though UMass' football team isn't the best by any means, scheduling these two events at the same time casts an absurd amount of shade. Liberty University is regarded as one of the most homophobic Christian universities in the country.

Liberty University made the "Worst List" of schools on the Campus Pride website because of its long history of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, which includes forcing students into conversion therapy and refusing to give same-sex and trans spouses tuition discounts their cis and heterosexual contemporaries currently enjoy. Additionally, the university has an official connection to the dangerously anti-LGBTQ+ Liberty Counsel.

The announcement was accompanied by a short video, as well.

Reaction to the decision to host the notoriously anti-LGBTQ+ university on Pride Day—and to the video—was delight in the quote tweets, at least.

Others pointed out maybe this should become a tradition at other schools.


And hey, this might even net them new fans.

Or, more succinctly...

So the quote tweets were largely in favor of the trolling.

The replies?

Not so much.

Glossing over many (many) replies to UMass' original post, they can mostly be summed up with this exchange.

It gets more vitriolic from there, but if this has proven at least one point about UMass Football, it's they are at least good at eliciting the response they aim for.

We'll see what happens on October 8.

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.
