I’ve been a fan of PUMA shoes for years because they stand out and aren’t ordinary gym shoes (STAND UP, CHICAGO). I’ve had multiple pairs of their kicks, and I might even still own 1 or 2 in the back of my closet. When Solange Knowles was announced as their Creative …

If there’s only one video you watch today, it needs to be of the interview that Zach Galifianakis did with President Barack Obama on his Funny Or Die show Between Two Ferns. I’ve watched it at least 3 times and each time, I cackle because it is hilarity personified. Between …
