The absolute mayhem at the Capitol yesterday has been on everyone's mind for the last 24 hours. It was scary. It was volatile. People died. Politicians are comparing the attack on democracy to memorable events like Pearl Harbor. Pundits are scrutinizing the actions of both sides, and everyone's realizing that 2021 ain't looking so sweet. While it's all very overwhelming, we do take solace in the fact that Twitter is able to take even situations like yesterday's insurrection and turn it into something funny. And that's exactly what @itsmeRachie did by asking the site to name a place with tighter security than the Capitol. Given the laughable lack of security (or perhaps competent security), the thread prompted scads of amusing jokes, with punchlines that not only cover places (Walmart, CVS) but objects that are famously tough to get into, like plastic cake boxes and clamshell packaging. The thread quickly went viral, and is still growing both in strength and hilarity. We put together some of our favorite responses, but by the time you read this we're sure there'll be more gold where these tweets came from.

Our boy Keanu Reeves has finally found love it seems, and the internet can't contain its excitement. He recently went public with girlfriend Alexandra Grant, an artist. The two have reportedly been friends for years, and even co-wrote a book together.
While people are stoked for the beloved Mr. Reeves, the announcement has also brought on some criticism of the way we treat women in Hollywood - many have been referring to the relationship as "age appropriate," given many male actors' tendencies to date models and actresses in their twenties. Grant is 46 years old.
Here are some of the internet's reactions to the news!

Twitter user Mike Mulloy had the right idea when he called out Jacob Obers on Twitter for claiming that he and his girlfriend bought a house at age 19. First of all, who the hell even buys property anymore? And secondly, we're willing to bet that neither of these doofus kids have ever even had jobs before. Next!
"T-Rexing" is sure to be the next engagement photo trend thanks to a creative photographer team in Spokane, Washington. We can't stop laughing at these photos. They're just so... clever.
