The two new truffle species hadn’t been formally identified by scientists before the canines discovered them.

Do you have one of those friends who is “information adjacent” about many topics? Meaning that they come close to getting the name of an actor or TV show correct but fall short in the most hilarious way possible. Or, are you that person who can’t quite remember the name of a book, or you flub the occasional figure of speech? If so, you’ll probably appreciate the super creative gift that TikTok user Kayla Foscarota, a 28-year-old teacher from Massachusetts, made for her friend Kellie. It’s an elegant-looking self-published book with all the names of famous people, movies, books, and TV shows that she has been mispronouncing over the years. Kayla even gave it a cover resembling the Apple Notes app, which is probably where she has been writing down all these mispronunciations over the years. "For years, I've been writing down all of the things my friend Kellie confidently says, almost right but very wrong," Kayla opens the video. The gift is a fantastic way of telling Kellie she loves her despite the fact that she has a pretty awful memory. The book features some epicly wrong pronunciations of celebrity names, such as “Lucifer” for Ludacris and “Salon Dione” for Celiene Dieon. Kellie also thought that model Alix Earl was “Earl Jones,” clearly, it was a mix-up with recently-deceased “Star Wars” star James Earl Jones. The video received over 17 million views and even attracted the attention of Earle, who posted the most popular comment: “I will now be going by Earl Jones,” the Sports Illustrated model joked. @kaylafosc THE LIST #funnyvideo #funnymoments #fyp #foryoupage #alixearle #hbomax #itendswithus #viraltiktok #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #colleenhoover #ludacris #aubreyplaza #gameofthronestiktok #willferrell #sharpobjects @Alix Earle @HBO @Colleen Hoover @It Ends With Us @Celine Dion @Ludacris @Game of Thrones @Brooke Shields @WillFerrellOfficial The video inspired a slew of commenters to share some of the funniest mispronunciations they’ve ever heard. "Once, my mom said, 'I need to decompose,' when she meant decompress." "This reminded me of when my brother referred to the Bermuda Triangle as the 'Bahama Pyramids.'" "A friend of mine said backward therapy instead of reverse psychology." "With my sis, 'Fix It Mike' = Wreck It Ralph." "My bff once said, 'Ur making me unconscious' (self-conscious)." "My sister is a master in this: she once referred to Stockholm Syndrome by naming it Helsinki Complex." "An old coworker brought doughnuts to the office and said, 'I have perversions.' He meant provisions." "My ex-boyfriend called fraternal twins nocturnal twins." "Me when my cousin calls The Rock, The Brick.""I work with a woman who very insistently calls Sydney Sweeney 'Sweeney Todd.'" "My fiancé doesn’t let me live down that I forgot the word for ankles and called them 'foot wrists.'" "My late grandmother thought it was Leonardo De Capuccino. May she rest in peace." "My friend said white as a goat instead of white as a ghost." Kayla, Kerrie, and millions on TikTok have had a great laugh over Kellie’s mispronunciations. But the video has an even deeper, sweeter side. There’s nothing more wonderful in a friend than someone who truly listens to you. Kayle took things a step further, and she not only listened to Kellie but took notes. Now, that’s true friendship.

A dad shared a story about his daughter on Reddit that’s been getting some traction online. He shared that he got a “dreaded call” from his daughter’s school, telling her that she was suspended. When he found out why, he couldn’t be prouder. “Some of my daughter's classmates were using Google translate to taunt another classmate that doesn't speak English, saying him and his family will be deported now. I won't go into details, but my daughter did just enough,” said the dad. “Needless to say, I'm so incredibly proud of her. She was the one who stood up and stopped it by the means she thought was right.” The girl did more than just write on her hands.Photo credit: Canva The father shared that even the school didn’t seem to want to punish her daughter, but felt that they had to do so because of the school’s strict rules and “zero tolerance and all that.” Other fathers threw in their two cents on the situation in the comments section: “Good job raising a great daughter.” “You take that star stand up citizen of a kid out for ice cream, a movie, and a giant tub of popcorn.” “A good lesson in ‘do the right thing despite the consequences’.” To that comment, the dad replied, “100%. And she took the "consequences" on the chin, too. I'm going to do my part to make sure she knows she's not in trouble. I'm taking the next 3 days off work, too. And we're going to live it up.” The fellow dads continued to praise the father’s reaction and his daughter’s actions, offering suggestions for activities for the daughter’s three-day break from school. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy and often has consequences that don’t benefit the “hero” of a situation. Sometimes the right thing is defending the harassed personally, like this young girl did for her classmate. Other times it’s to peacefully but firmly protest, much like in the Civil Rights movement and the “good trouble” that the late John Lewis described that often ended with protesters getting arrested. Offering your hand to help someone doesn't always come with a reward.Photo credit: Canva However, doing the correct thing doesn’t always end with a loving dad rewarding you for your actions. The range of consequences for doing the right thing varies from suspension from classes for performing schoolyard justice to death sentences carried out to now-historical figures that we celebrate today. Susan B. Anthony is celebrated as a person who fought against slavery and battled for women’s rights, including the right to vote, but was often scorned, ridiculed, and arrested for her “disruption.” In Nazi Germany, pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer vocally protested anti-Semitism in his country and was executed for his part in a failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was often vilified during his time for his actions to fight for Civil Rights, and was ultimately assassinated. Their actions weren’t rewarded, but they had a major impact for actual change while inspiring others to follow in their footsteps to do what is just. MLK got into a lot of trouble for doing the right thing.Photo credit: Wikimedia Commons You don’t need to do big gestures like these people did to defend the weak and do what’s right. This young girl just saw something wrong and proceeded to do what action she felt was right to correct the wrongdoing. For you, your response to something that isn’t right depends on your resources and ability. If you’re a person with a specific set of skills, you can use your skills to help the victimized. For example, a contractor could assist people who have lost their home to a disaster or a lawyer can provide legal counsel to a person being unjustly imprisoned. If you’re financially fortunate, you can donate money and time to a foundation that’s actively fighting an injustice you see. If you’re neither of these things, you can still just step in to say, “Hey, stop!” whenever you see a form of bullying at school, work, or at home. You won't get rewarded, in fact you'll sacrifice money and time, along with other hassles. But it'll bring some good along with the trouble. Essentially, be bold and fight for others like this little girl. You might not get three days worth of fun in the end, but it’ll make the world just a little bit better.

Aerosmith members, singer Steven Tyler (pictured), guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton will perform at the sixth annual “Jam For Janie” Grammys viewing party. Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum and Nuno Bettencourt will also be appearing at Tyler’s philanthropic event on February 2nd at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood. Comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish will serve as host. More than 100 firefighters who battled the recent Los Angeles wildfires have been invited to the event through the Widows, Orphans And Disabled Firefighters Fund and Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. “What the Los Angeles community has endured with these wildfires is unthinkable,” Tyler said. “Music has healing powers and we hope to bring a moment of joy and levity to our first-responder firefighters and those most affected by the fires.” The Janie’s Fund initiative was created to bring hope and healing to girls and young women who have experienced trauma. “The trauma experienced by the girls we work with is also unthinkable and we will continue to shed light and support the amazing work of Janie’s Fund.” ### The post Aerosmith Members To Perform At Grammy Viewing Benefit appeared first on RockinTown.
