What started out as a relatively mild winter has now become a cold and unforgiving season for millions of Americans who already have the Covid-19 pandemic to worry about. Winter storm Uri has absolutely pummeled middle America (also known as the heartland) leaving at least 17 people dead, and millions without power in Texas.

Among the hardest hit areas were Houston and Galveston - where local governments have had to ask for trucks so they can store the bodies of people who have succumbed to the cold. The lack of power is leaving many Texans coping with freezing temperatures that they're not used to and circumstances that they're just not prepared for. While we realize that some Texans without power won't be able to see it, people on Twitter have been sharing their cold weather wisdom with the poor souls who are battling subzero temperatures. Twitter user @EyesUp_Orion started a wonderfully wholesome thread filled with very valuable advice for everyone hit by Uri. Tons more people with serious winter experience chimed in with their own hot (sorry) tips, creating a super-thread of helpfulness. While a thread might not bring the power back, it can make things a little more comfortable - or less dangerous - for everyone who is shivering. It's also just nice to see people on Twitter helping each other out.

Whoever captured this moment on camera really hit the jackpot as it pretty much sums up every woman's experience dealing with a douchey bro who thinks he's way smarter than she is. So ladies, scroll down if you want to feel understood!

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. recently tweeted a story about a prank-gone-wrong that he tried to play on J. Prince, the CEO of Houston-based Rap-A-Lot-Records. Hilarity ensued.

Ayesha Curry is already getting roasted and toasted for her Houston restaurant, International Smoke, that's set to open in July. Rockets fans are apparently still salty over Houston's NBA loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 - which is where Ayesha's husband Steph plays. So salty, in fact, that they've been intentionally leaving terrible Yelp reviews for the her new restaurant, which hasn't even opened yet. The reviews may be mean and uncalled for, but they're certainly provided us with some hearty laughs!
