ABSOLUTELY UNEXPECTED: Addison Rae gets out of her seat in the middle of the UFC to say hi former president Donald Trump. Addison says to Trump, “I have to say hi.” Addison previously denied being a Trump supporter and registered Republican, though her voter registration leaked.

Honestly my natural disposition with kids is to be relaxed and use humour, but when they're shits it is so gratifying to pull the rug out from under them.
One of my favs was by a cooworker at a really rough school I used to work at. The deputies were USELESS and the kids just ran wild. One day both deputies were away, so my cooworker, as one of the senior members of staff, filled in. She is the loveliest woman in the world, but was so effective in that role. She printed out the phone numbers of every single kid's parents (small school)* and put them in a folder which she carried with her everywhere. Before long she gets called to help with a dickhead in year 10 who just would not sit down and shut up (legit one of the top 10 most unpleasant students I've ever taught. Called me a cunt and I dragged him to the useless deputies to get him suspended on my first week there. One of those kids who the entire staff is counting down the days till he turns 17 and can be asked to fuck off and not come back). She goes, tries all the regular stuff, but he will not settle so she removes him from the room and he takes off. Running all over the school, yelling and climbing on the gates - not aggressive or anything, just trying to cause as much distruption as possible and get loads of attention. So she calmly follows him, while opening her folder and dialing her phone. She ambles up to him near the canteen where he's up on a table, holds out the phone and sweetly calls out, "Tayden, your mum would like a word." He just went white, it was the best thing I have ever seen. You could hear his mum going off at him from across the quad. This teacher destroyed him with a smile on her face and not even raising her voice once. It was glorious. She was my idol.
*That school was hard but some parents/community members were so supportive, especially the older Aboriginal nans and aunties. You called them about one of their kids causing trouble and they'd drop everything and come steaming down. There is nothing scarier than an older Aboriginal woman who is disappointed in you. The GA (like a school handyman) was a local elder too, and sometimes the kids would be silly not realising he was working nearby. He'd appear, call out "hey! you pull your bloody heads in and have some respect", and they would be so chastened. I really miss that. There's always an older, respected person willing to support you in a town like that; not so much in the bigger town I work in now.
