We don’t need some punk groundhog telling us it’s going to be freezing in the middle of Iowa during the month of February https://t.co/0UViO0ntKV

Also look at this photo of Phil that makes him look like a holy Simba sent from the heavens to bless Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

Oh, and here’s Lupita Nyong’o trying to figure why the hell we have a tradition where a group of men in top hats hover around a rodent in hopes that it’ll predict the weather.
Anyway, happy Groundhog day! No doubt the Bill Murray film will be playing everywhere today. Here’s Kaila’s great love letter to the musical and this classic hate letter for the day. Don’t forget how ridiculously weird this whole thing is!
