Loved Klaus. Great Christmas movie. Crazy that I hadn’t seen it yet. Highly recommend. Totally got Emperor’s New Groove vibes from the main duo.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

League of Legends Worlds is coming up its 15th World Championship this Sunday and South Korea’s biggest esports icon has dominated from the start.
