A Texas woman has been banned from Walmart after a fairly ridiculous Saturday morning. She was seen at 6:30 a.m. riding around the Walmart parking lot in an electric cart and drinking wine out of a Pringles can. Although Walmart was less than impressed with her actions, hence the ban, the internet has made her out to be quite the hero.
This is badass on so many levels:

A number of major cities around the world held their annual ‘No Pants Subway Ride’ on Sunday. The popular event saw people in cities like New York, Chicago, Berlin and Toronto strip down to their undies and ride the subway. Even temperatures around freezing in certain places couldn’t stop people from taking part.
This is real!

Less than a year after splitting up with Anna Faris, Chris Pratt is engaged to another woman and he’s about to get himself a pretty cool father-in-law. Pratt announced his engagement to Katherine Schwarzenegger over social media on Sunday. While some said it was too soon after his divorce, others were quick to point out that Faris began dating another man shortly after her and Pratt split.
Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I’m thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go! 💍🙏♥️
