Cheyenne Jackson shared a poignant tribute honoring Mark Bingham on the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The actor portrayed Bingham, a gay rugby player, in the film United 93 which dramatized the events that took place on United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

Bingham, along with fellow passengers and crew members, were able to take down the terrorists who hijacked the plane originally en route from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco.

United 93 went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and was the only hijacked plane that failed to reach the terrorists' target that day.

Jackson shared a photo of the hero on Monday with the accompanying caption:

"Thinking of you today Mark Bingham."
"It was a privilege portraying you in the film #United93 and I honor your memory as well as your mother Alice Hoagland’s and all of the souls lost that day."
"#NeverForget"

Viewers of Jackson's post thanked the actor for remembering the hero, and acknowledged Bingham's bravery as well.

Following Bingham's death, his mother, Alice Hoagland, rallied to preserve a gay rugby movement her son had helped set in motion just before 9/11.

The world's largest gay rugby tournament, honorably renamed the Bingham Cup, debuted in San Francisco in 2002.

Hoagland died in December 2020 at 71 years of age.

A lovely tribute to both.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.
