Though some of his verses have been known to pack a political punch, prolific writer Theodor Seuss “Ted” Geisel or Dr. Seuss has definitely missed the mark more than once, employing racist caricatures packaged for young audiences. Of course, none of those instances would pass muster today (ideally, anyway) and on Tuesday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises attempted to fall in step with today’s audience by ceasing all publications of six titles due to their racist illustrations.

Adidas makes a lot of really good shoes. It also makes some of the worst ones we’ve ever seen, like the skinned dachshund

Hilaria Baldwin, the non-Spanish wife of
Alec, dropped a new baby yesterday on Instagram, debuting a new bundle of joy merely five months after she produced

The arrival of the fresh baby, a girl, has been billed as a “surprise” by the press, but clearly, this baby was not a surprise to anyone, including but not limited to the surrogate (?) who probably (?) carried this baby (???).
