Texas Teen Comes Out in Graduation Speech
Rather than referencing 'My Little Pony' or 'Twilight,' one Texas student decided to use his chance to speak at his high school graduation to come out as gay. *Then* Mitch Anderson started making references -- to Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Zachary Quinto's eyebrows, the chorus of a Nicki Minaj song, etc.

We don't know what the weather's like where you are, but it is a chilly, grey, rainy Monday here, so we need this.

Fortunately, the police and animal control officers in the video above were able to make sense out of the situation, and rescue all of the duck's ducklings, which were trapped in a sewer.

Maisie Williams Mocks Us All With Perfect ‘Game of Thrones’ Reaction Video
People cried. People screamed. People vomited. And now here's Maisie Williams, the actress who plays Arya Stark, maybe sort of making fun of all of us. The internet reaction to Sunday's episode of 'Game of Thrones' was basically insane, so Maisie's Vine response does add a needed bit of levity. Thanks, Arya -- once again, you are our hero.
