Problematic Youtube star Logan Paul doesn't have the best track record where ethics are concerned. Between his controversial Suicide Forest video from 2017 and some offensive views on homosexuality, Logan Paul was pretty low on our list of people who might be able to make a difference in the Black Lives Matter movement. But the elder Paul brother has surprised most of the internet with a passionate and sincere episode of 'Impaulsive' that decries police brutality and bluntly states that "America is racist."

Logan Paul and his co-hosts spend the episode explaining the explosive situation at hand, and the problem of racism within the police force. They applaud protesters for destroying Confederate monuments and beg followers to take action against racism. The most widely praised moment of the hour-long episode is when Paul confesses to his audience: "Listen closely. One of my biggest learnings from all of this and I am embarrassed that it has taken me 25 years to realize this: It is not enough to be 'not racist'. You have to be anti-racist."

Those are some powerful words to relay to an audience of over 2.26 million. And it's a much better message than the one left by his younger brother, Jake Paul, who was filmed with looters in Arizona. Logan's choice to urge his audience to do better is a move we admire - and one that many people of Twitter seem to admire, too.

Just six weeks ago Bachelor fans were celebrating the series premiere of The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart, ABC's attempt at merging the decades-old dating show with an American Idol-style competition. The season was, as one would expect, a whirlwind of drama, gaslighting, and a lot less talent than we would like. While most of the fire starters of the season (Julia, Brandon, and Natascha) were eliminated before the premiere, it wouldn't be a Chris Harrison show without some serious emotional histrionics. 

Fan favorite Rudi was the first to go after her indecisive partner Matt admitted he "couldn't get there," referring to the level of commitment that Chris Harrison expected from the couples. Rudi was easily the most talented of the six finalists, and her supporters were eager to lament the loss on Twitter, especially after the doomed couple was assigned a Whitney Houston duet. 

Fans were also quick to decry the Trevor and Jamie relationship the producers seemed to be pushing since the beginning. The milquetoast duo butchered the Righteous Brothers classic "Unchained Melody" by giving it a seriously unnecessary country vibe, probably because Jamie isn't capable of singing it right. 

With so much to complain about, the predictable outcome of Bri and Chris' win received relatively little attention on social media. The slightly boring but very sweet couple made judge Taye Diggs cry, and came out on top, much to the relief of the Jamie and Trevor haters. At the end of the day, we're just happy to see Bachelor nation embrace a little diversity. Maybe they'll be more accepting of people who don't necessarily want to "make babies" as Chris Harrison was aggressively pushing. 

It's no secret that there's an unhealthy preoccupation with the physical form where showbiz is concerned. Tabloids seem to thrive on sharing poorly-lit photos of cellulite-dappled thighs and speculate pregnancy when a star might just be bloated or is photographed at an awkward angle. Award-winning singer-songwriter Adele has dealt with this for much of her career. After making a return to Instagram to thank first responders and essential workers for their help during the crisis, most people could only focus on her dramatic weight loss. 

As usual, everyone on Twitter had something to say about the matter. Adele's transformation has women decrying the media's focus on the body, people reminding the world of the star's talents and accomplishments, and then, of course, there are the comedians. We've included a handful here, but if you're looking for more, head over to Twitter. Frankly, we could care less about Adele's weight. We just hope she's happy and keeps pumping out that sweet, sweet music. 

In a world of darkness and negativity, we're more than happy to report that the world's most meme'd fetus has officially left the womb to grace us with its presence. Elon Musk took to Twitter last night to report that Grimes had given birth to a son, and that both mother and baby are happy and healthy. While some memers may be disappointed to find the baby's name is not "Influenza," Elon tweeted that the power couple had named their son "X Æ A-12." We're hoping that the Reddit-loving Musk is simply trolling his followers, but either way - the birth, and the unsurprisingly unique choice of name are both inspiring a ton of hilarious memes. Here are our favorites.

The internet is reacting to comments made by Donald Trump during a COVID-19-related press briefing held yesterday. Trump claimed that the virus could be treated by bringing "light inside the body" or injecting a disinfectant. Thankfully medical professionals were quick to denounce these claims, and people on the internet have since been creating some excellent memes on the matter. 

This should go without saying, but please don't inject yourself with disinfectant, y'all.

Here's some news you definitely didn't need today: Apparently there's an alternate version of the movie Cats that displays all of the characters' buttholes, in genuine cat-like fashion. 

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how gross you are), someone was hired to edit all of the buttholes out of the movie for its commercial release, but a tweet by Seth Rogen, demanding that they #ReleaseTheButtholeCut has sparked curiosity in the hearts of many. The following are some of our favorite reaction tweets!

About six months ago, a photo of Bernie and Jane Sanders popped up on r/SandersForPresident. The image depicts the couple walking into famed discount clothing store Ross Dress for Less. The relatable photo made a viral appearance on Twitter this weekend after Josh Androsky shared it to the social media site. Users quickly began meme-ing the image and contributing some quality one liners to the thread - there's even a shop of the twosome entering a Hot Topic instead of Ross. As candid candidate photos go, this one takes the cake. Everybody loves a bargain. We've put together some of the best reactions to the photo in this gallery, but you can take in more gold right here.

Twitter got pretty spicy on Sunday after @sp00kynugget posted a video of herself bathing in a tub full of...Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Let that soak for a second. The short clip of the piquant bath sparked an insane number of replies, mostly from Twitter users fearing for the reckless woman's lady parts. We have to admit we're of the "Why, god, why?" camp ourselves, but some less shocked people made us proud with their spicy jokes. You can take in the wild video and reactions below, but there are a whole lot more over at the thread. Here's hoping she has good insurance. 

Planters Nuts had teased their Super Bowl ad since the untimely demise of their mascot, Mr. Peanut. Unfortunately, the funeral-themed bit didn't sit as well with viewers as they had anticipated. The ad shows mascots mourning the monocle'd peanut in a cemetery, when the Kool-Aid man's tears cause "Baby Nut" to emerge from the dirt, a mascot reborn. 

The move is a pretty obvious nod to the popularity of Baby Yoda, and many people found the move to be a cheap exploitation of the public's affinity for cute characters. These feelings were then channeled into some seriously Anti-Baby Nut tweets that made us wonder if peanut allergies are more prevalent than we thought. Whatever the case, the passionate contempt for the small legume is vastly entertaining. We can't wait to see what Planters does to spin this one. 

Elon, it's time to stop. 

Our favorite cringey billionaire is back in action on the music scene with the drop of his new song on Soundcloud titled, "Don't Doubt ur Vibe." We have to say that while it isn't necessarily "RIP Harambe" levels of cringe, it still sort of...misses the mark. 

Our theory is that Elon is either incredibly out of touch with the youth, or he does these strange things to troll us. Or maybe he just doesn't give a flying f*ck, because when you have billions of dollars, who really cares? 

Anyway, please "enjoy" listening to Lil Elon's new song and scroll through the reaction memes and tweets below. Sorry ahead of time.

Poor Mayor Pete just can't seem to catch a break on the internet. The presidential candidate from South Bend, Indiana tweeted a photo of himself walking down a hallway on Saturday with the caption, "On my way back to Iowa. It's phase 4. Let's do this." The tweet has been catching a fair amount of flack for appearing to be staged. 

Here are some of Twitter's most amusing reaction memes and tweets!

Alzheimer's Disease is no laughing matter, but these Twitter memes certainly are. When Twitter user Lira Mercer asked followers their thoughts on infant vaccinations, one person responded saying they were against them, asserting that as a consequence babies can acquire "Down syndrome, Alzheimer's, etc." 

Of course, this person probably meant to say autism and not "Alzheimer's," but the damage has already been done. Now let the facepalm fest commence.

Welp, it's the third day of 2020 and the we might've just plunged ourselves into the possibility of war with Iran. 

Last night Donald Trump ordered the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani via drone airstrike in Baghdad today, which has sparked fears over the possibility of an escalation of conflict between the US and the Middle Eastern nation, or even the possibility of a World War III. Soleimani was a beloved military hero in Iran.

Of course, this whole situation is hardly a joke, but we'd like to give memers the benefit of the doubt and assume they're turning their concern into something (sort of) positive. We'll go with that. Anyway, scroll down to see some of the best reaction memes.

If you thought tech companies couldn't possibly release a product more stupid than Tesla's Cybertruck, you'd be wrong! Apple just released its most expensive product ever today: the Mac Pro, which has a $6,000 base price and - get this - can cost all the way up to just over $100,000 if you want the absolute most powerful Mac that money can buy. 

Purchasing the wheels alone will cost you a cool $400. Apple, you're just trolling us at this point, right? Honestly we think this computer is just some sort of weird flex for the disturbingly wealthy. 

All we're saying here is, this damn thing better turn into a flying car, or have the ability to cure cancer or some sh*t.

Remember last year's cringey YouTube Rewind? It's hard not to. The video was the most disliked video in the history of the website. This year, YouTube has decided to repent for their sins and play it safe - with a whole lot of numbers. Instead of getting creative, the new video is more of a montage of the most statistically "liked" videos, creators, and channels. It even features controversial creator PewDiePie. 

Though the new YouTube video is decidedly less controversial than 2018's, the viewer response has done nothing but prove that people will never be happy. Commenters are already decrying the site's move to stick to numbers, as well as its absence of memes and deceased YouTuber Etika. The general consensus is that it's a cop-out video reminiscent of the "Top Ten" videos that are so popular on YouTube. The videos dislikes already dwarf its likes. With responses like this, we have to wonder what they'll come up with next year.

Why do politics always make for the best meme material? We'll just let the politicians speak for themselves. 

In case you missed last night's democratic presidential debate, then we'll give you a little run down: Cory Booker accused Joe Biden of being high, Amy Klobuchar claimed she raised a crap-load of money from her ex-boyfriends, and Biden made an, uh, brain-dead comment about domestic violence.
