A 35-year-old math teacher in Dallas just announced he's running for president . . . after changing his name to "Literally Anybody Else." First name, "Literally" . . . middle name, "Anybody" . . . and last name, "Else."
A judge, who didn't find it very funny, ultimately signed off on the name change. So it's official. He even got a new driver's license.
Mr. Else filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. He's currently trying to get on the ballot in Texas as an Independent. People in other states would have to vote for him as a write-in candidate.
He says his campaign is less about winning, and more about sending a message. Quote, "People should have the option to vote for someone who resembles and represents them, not the lesser of two evils."
His name before he changed it was Dustin Ebey. If he doesn't win, it sounds like he plans to go back to that. Or there's a chance he runs again in four years. He just turned 35, so it's the first time he's been old enough.

People in New York can pop into a bar in Brooklyn called The Mallard Drake tonight and get their clothes ironed for free. A guy known as "Iron Man" has been doing it off-and-on since 2016.
He irons clothes in a tuxedo on Monday nights, and it's first come first served. You can bring something in and have it ironed. Or, give him the clothes off your back and he hands you a robe to wear.
