Visualize The News: Reflecting On Fallen Political Candidates, Kanye Plays Home Decorator

Within our hyper-accelerated news culture, it can be tough to keep up with everything. But maintaining an informed populace remains vital to our culture. So for those stories that don’t quite need your undivided attention, we’re helping you digest stuff with GIFS, pics, and whatever qualifies as a quick fix. Remember: Knowing is half the battle. The other half: Laughing at funny memes. 

Remembering Our Fallen Political Candidates

To sum up the general mood permeating the air we say this: Thank goodness this election ends today. We’ve had our laughs, but we’re all a little ready to move on. Following everything that’s happened, all those dormant emotions and those hidden political stances surfaced, you might feel a little changed.

You are not alone in this sentiment. For most of us we’re mere spectators in the political arena this year. What to make then of the fallen warriors who previously vied for our vote?

Here at TFT, we’re happy to release these exclusive before and after images of the political candidates who could not compete with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Kanye Plays Home Decorator

Reports surfaced recently that Kanye West, perfectionist in the art of being, did not like his furniture. Many have likely had a similar epiphany—you’re laying on the couch, doing some Netflix and Chill, rolling round, trying to get comfortable, when you realize you freaking hate this couch. It’s never been comfortable and never will be.

But you’re probably not in the economic position to do anything about it. Kanye is. New York Magazine describes Kanye having spent “nearly all his money” on furniture for this Calabasas home, including a $30,000 couch. But it wasn’t good enough for Mr. West. Here’s a live look at his reaction.

He tried to return it to the vendors, who said no, and so now that furniture’s just hanging in storage somewhere. Apparently he brought in interior designer Sandy Gallin to redecorate and bought a whole new set of furniture. Let’s hope Kanye’s mood soon returns to how he should be:

“She Said She Never Seen Snakes On A Plane”

One of the most terrifying freak occurrences actually happened: snakes on a plane. Yes, an Aeromexico flight from Torreon to Mexico City found a snake dangling from overhead storage bins.

Luckily the flight was able to make an emergency landing and animal control was able to wrangle the reptile away.

We don’t even need to call in our Spineless Reptiles on Aircraft Correspondent on this one. We already know what he’s going to say. So we’ll say it for you, Samuel L. Jackson.
