College Student Sends Heartbreaking Text To His Mom Before Tornado Strikes His Home
“That was the most precious thing a son could do for a mother,” she said.
Jeffrey Hunter, a senior at the University of Central Arkansas, knew he wasn't going to make it through the tornado that was hurtling toward his hiding place in a bathroom in Vilonia, Ark.
The student texted his mom, who was 20 miles away. "First he said mama, I'm so scared," Regina Wood, Hunter's mother, told KFTA. "He knew how bad it was, these say it's going to be a direct hit."
Hunter sent his mother two final texts: "Goodbye mama...." and "It's heading right for me."
All Wood could do was update her son through text on where the EF-4 tornado was headed, and try to reassure him he would be okay.
"I kept saying, 'Are you okay? Are you okay? Let me know. Let me know.' No answer," Wood recalled.
9 Rare Color Photos Of Marilyn Monroe And Arthur Miller
Nicknamed “the Egghead and the Hourglass,” the iconic movie star and the playwright/author made a very unlikely pair.
The marriage was Monroe's third and Miller's second -- he left his wife to be with her.

Of his relationship with Monroe, Miller wrote, “She was a whirling light to me then, all paradox and enticing mystery, street-tough one moment, then lifted by a lyrical and poetic sensitivity that few retain past early adolescence.”

Anthony Bourdain Perfectly Captures America’s Hypocritical Relationship With Mexico And Its People
“Our brother from another mother. A country, with whom, like it or not, we are inexorably, deeply involved, in a close but often uncomfortable embrace.”
With Mexico on the mind because of Cinco de Mayo, Anthony Bourdain took to Tumblr to talk about America's troubling relationship with its neighbor.

Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, look after our children. As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers. Some, of course, like to claim that Mexicans are "stealing American jobs". But in two decades as a chef and employer, I never had ONE American kid walk in my door and apply for a dishwashing job, a porter's position—or even a job as prep cook. Mexicans do much of the work in this country that Americans, provably, simply won't do.

He juxtaposed a drug war fueled by American appetites that has killed 80,000 Mexicans, with the richness, beauty, and culture Americans all too often don't see.
Coast-to-Coast/Coast-to-Coast
He wrote about how his attachment and fondness for Mexico comes from the kindness he was given from its people.
"In nearly 30 years of cooking professionally, just about every time I walked into a new kitchen, it was a Mexican guy who looked after me, had my back, showed me what was what, was there—and on the case—when the cooks more like me, with backgrounds like mine—ran away to go skiing or surfing—or simply flaked," he wrote.
"I have been fortunate to track where some of those cooks come from, to go back home with them. To small towns populated mostly by women—where in the evening, families gather at the town’s phone kiosk, waiting for calls from their husbands, sons and brothers who have left to work in our kitchens in the cities of the North."

Remember When Jimmy Fallon And Zooey Deschanel Made A Music Video Together?
Zooey was also a blonde in the video. 2002 was a weird time for everyone, to be fair.
Back in 2002, Jimmy Fallon released a comedy album that included a track called, "Idiot Boyfriend."
He also made a music video for it and cast Zooey Deschanel, pre-New Girl, as his S.O.
No bangs! Blonde hair! Zooey, I hardly recognized ye.

10 Scientific Reasons To Eat More Pizza
If math and science are wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
Pizza tossing can save lives.
Believe it or not, physicists are using the fine art of pizza tossing to design motors thinner than a human hair for brain surgery.
Chefs have perfected the toss of the dough, moving their hands in a circle to achieve maximum efficiency. Scientists studied their movements to design motors mimicking those circles. Except instead of tossing a rotor once a second, the motors toss them a few million times a second.

Pizza makes economics less boring.
According to the Pizza Principle, a loose law proposed by a New York lawyer back in the 1980s, the slice of a pizza has predicted the price of a subway ride since the ‘60s. Whether the parallel is alive is still debated, but pizza’s power as a barometer is indisputable.

Deep-dish pizza may have more antioxidants.
Put a sock in it, Chicago-style antagonists (we’re looking at you, Jon Stewart): Chicago-style pizza can have more antioxidants than other pies because of its oven time and crust size.
Chemists fiddled with whole-wheat pizza crusts and found that longer baking times increased antioxidants up to 60%. Even cooler (or hotter?): Higher oven temperatures upped them by as much as 82%.

Comedian Leslie Jones Criticized Over "Saturday Night Live" Slavery Skit
“Back in the slave days, my love life would have been way better. Master would have hooked me up with the best brother on the plantation.”
During May 3rd's episode of "Saturday Night Live", writer and comedian Leslie Jones appeared as an image expert on the show's Weekend Update skit.
Jones congratulated Lupita Nyong'o for winning People Magazine's Most Beautiful award, but said she believes there's a new precedent for what it means to be black and beautiful.

"Back in the slave days, my love life would of been way better,” Jones joked during the skit.
She clarified that she "does not want to be a slave" by joking that she doesn't enjoy working for white people now. But if she was, she'd be having "superbabies" every nine months, like LeBron James, Shaq, and Sinbad.

8 Tips For Overcoming An Existential Meltdown On The Morning Of Your 28th Birthday
Good morning, happy birthday, your twenties are slipping through your fingers!
CBS / Via reactiongifs.me
You wake up on the morning of your 28th birthday about two hours too early and in a hazy cloud of dread. It could be the remnants of any of the garden variety stress dreams that occupy your nights, but your teeth are all intact and this morning's anxiety feels a bit more foreign, a bit less tethered to such a familiar and specific source. You've been asserting throughout the past week how 100% fine and even excited you are about turning 28 — "Honestly, I keep forgetting it's even happening," or "I've heard this year is a good one," and "I feel like I've been 28 for months now" — but is it possible that you are actually, maybe, perhaps, just a LITTLE BIT freaking out about it? In a word, yes. Stay awake. You can power through this.
OK, OK, OK, so you graduated high school 10 years ago and somehow you didn't realize that until this very moment? Like, you knew it, but you didn't really know it. And you're trying to think of just one thing that happened since then, just one thing, but it is, in this moment, surprisingly difficult! BECAUSE ALL OF THE CLICHES ARE TRUE AND TIME IS FLYING PAST YOU AT AN INCONCEIVABLE AND EXPONENTIALLY INCREASING RATE AND YOU ARE BASICALLY A MILLION YEARS OLD?
Take a breath and call the people who know that 28 is, in fact, quite a few years younger than a million, and who can firmly but lovingly set you straight. Take comfort in the fact that to them, you will basically always be a child. And children have a wide world of opportunity ahead of them! Lucky you!
But the uniquely frustrating thing about this morning meltdown is that it is made up of equal, simultaneous anxieties: panic over lost youth and fear of inadequate maturity. In other words, you are, impossibly, both older than anyone who has ever lived and a toddler who has forgotten to do her laundry AGAIN. Resist it. When you make your way out of bed and shuffle through a makeshift path to the door, remember that it is sometimes necessary to prioritize your emotional well-being over the fulfillment of your daily obligations, and that that is why you chose to watch the final season of Friday Night Lights instead of cleaning your room, which is in fact evidence of your agency as an adult.
