Amy Schumer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote the second season of her hit show Life & Beth. The comedian did some stand-up with backup dancers, commented on both Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, and chatted with Fallon about her show’s second season. However, the point of Schumer’s appearance on Fallon was undermined by people commenting on how she looked. Social media questioned why the star’s face seemed to be “puffy” and “swollen.”

Eventually, Amy Schumer felt that she needed to respond, which she did on social media on February 15th. She wrote, “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face! I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay. I also believe a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation. But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you’re in. Like every other woman/person, some days I feel confident and good, and others I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong and beautiful and so proud of this TV show I created. Wrote. Starred in and directed. Maybe just maybe we can focus on that for a little.”

Fans seemed to appreciate the master class in how to shut down critics and swarmed the actress’s social media with support. One person wrote, “You are beautiful inside and out and so funny!!!!!!” A second agreed, “Yeeees! Finally season 2!!!! Can’t wait! PS: I love your face.” While a third echoed, “Keep crushing it, shoom.”

Technology is all over the place these days, and the people who are supposed to buy it are struggling to keep up both financially and mentally. Alongside some inventions like drones, AI, and facial recognition that seem straight out of the future has come a whole army of bizarre little machines that aren’t practical, aren’t made well, and frankly, no one ever asked for. And what do they all have in common? For one thing, they were all developed, funded, and managed in the startup hub — AKA a cesspool of money and dreams (and dreams of money) called Silicon Valley. Here are the weirdest inventions of the last decade you want to make sure you didn’t miss.

For just $199, you can have a brush that listens to your hair and tells you when you’re brushing too hard or in the wrong direction – or at least, you could have.

But after this idea majorly flopped, L’Oréal not only stopped producing them…they also tried to wipe as much evidence off the internet as they could that the weirdest of their inventions ever existed.

It’s no secret that younger bodies have blood with more healthy properties, or that it’s just a part of the natural aging process…one that not many people want to risk messing with (including doctors). But Ambrosia saw a business opportunity here, one in which the precious rich blood of younger people could be bottled up and sold – for thousands of dollars per liter, mind you – in order to change the way we age. The idea was based on a very small and unpublished clinical trial run by a Stanford medical grad (not a licensed doctor) who found that fresh blood helped Alzheimer’s patients. But the FDA didn’t seem to think the evidence held up and shut down the company.

Though microchips aren’t new — they’re usually for dogs, children, and perhaps anyone else who can’t be responsible for themselves. But in 2015, more than 300 startups hired a Swedish incubator called Epicenter to microchip their employees in order to allow them unconditional “printer access, key-free entrances, and wireless payments.”

This is actually ongoing, so it might be smart to check with any prospective companies before signing a contract if you don’t fancy a new piece of metal in your flesh.

Neutrogena’s Light Therapy Acne Mask was released in 2016 – without the ample warnings, it actually needed. Its red and blue lights are meant to have some anti-inflammatory properties, but in the end, it turned out they could also blind you.

After many eye conditions came up as a result, the product was recalled.

Washing machines that require quarters are a nightmare; there can be no laundry done without ample planning and saving of the little metal coins, which – until recently – were also in high demand for parking spaces and the like. But in 2014, a company called Washboard set out to change all that – exchanging your credit payment for quarters (with just about $7 of interest shaved off). Despite a few devoted customers, the founder himself said that he struggled to convince people that the company was even real… which, today, it no longer is.
