The unfolding tragedy in Paris is almost unspeakably horrific and awful. I’m sort of at a loss for words. This viral painting from Twitter is deeply moving.

Correction: Friday, November, 12 2015: 7:16 pm ET: Originally I said this was a Banksy painting but that’s just because I’m an idiot.

Last week, President Barack Obama traveled to West Virginia, a state that leads the nation in the number of fatal drug overdoses, to announce a new federal program aimed at tackling the country’s growing opiate epidemic.

That same day, a West Virginia man was so moved by the president’s speech, WSAZ reports, that he called 911 to seek help and turn in a “cooler full of drugs.” The cooler reportedly included marijuana, 19 grams of ecstasy, and more than 150 pain killers.

He told authorities he had been watching Obama’s announcement and hoped to become sober for his mother. No charges were filed.

“We applaud this person’s self-initiated efforts and wish him well in his recovery,” a police statement read.

The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to get medical treatment. He chose to enter a rehabilitation center.

During the final hour of tonight’s marathon Republican presidential debate, moderator Jake Tapper asked candidates about their positions on marijuana policy. That’s when Jeb Bush, who has been previously accused of being a hypocrite by fellow presidential hopeful Rand Paul for his hardline stance against medical marijuana, weighed in with the following admission: Forty years ago, he too smoked pot. Just like nearly every teenager in America. He then sheepishly apologized to his mother.

The confession, which drew a handful of chuckles from the crowd, was immediately followed by a tweet from his campaign that reemphasized the important part of his statement:

Despite his admission, the presidential hopeful went on to defend his opposition to legalizing medial marijuana.

Do you know how to swim? I bet you do. But once upon a time you didn’t know how to swim. Go back to that place.

John Wayne is dead, but once upon a time he was alive. Bring him into that place.

Now tell John Wayne you don’t know how to swim. Go on. Tell him.

He’s John Wayne! TELL HIM!

Sucker.

Ohio State’s Quarterback Has the Perfect Response to a Fan’s Stupid "Shut Up and Play" Tweet

Sometimes athletes choose to stand in the center of a movement and make a statement. Ohio State’s Cardale Jones, quarterback of this year’s national championship football team, took some time Thursday to ask a simple question on Twitter:

It wasn’t exactly incendiary stuff from Jones, who has been dinged for expressing himself on social media before. Still, when one fan decided to chime in to tell Jones to shut up and stick to football, the 22-year-old junior from Cleveland wasn’t having it:

Also, a reminder: College athletes aren’t getting paid while the NCAA rakes in millions.

This Is the Most Heart-Wrenching News Photo of the Week

This remarkable photo captures the grim reality setting in for the relatives of those aboard the Eastern Star cruiser, which capsized and sank Monday on China’s Yangtze River: the vanishing chance that any more people will be found alive.

In the foreground, dozens of paramilitary policemen dressed in white overalls wait to recover bodies after the ship was lifted by cranes. For most of the week, the boat sat in the water with just its hull exposed, as passengers’ families became increasingly desperate for answers from secretive government officials.

More than 100 bodies have been recovered, according to Chinese state media. There were only 14 survivors, a fraction of the 456 passengers, most of them elderly tourists.

Harry Shearer, the iconic voice of countless “Simpsons” characters including Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders, sent out a pair of ominous tweets last night signaling he may be exiting the show due to what appears to be a contract dispute with executive producer James L. Brooks:

Fox recently renewed the show for another two seasons to last till 2017, but Shearer was reportedly still trying to work out his contract. Judging by the tweets sent out last night, it looks an agreement couldn’t be reached. We’re still hoping for the best, but for now, we leave you with this clip:
