With ads targeted to team metros, Philadelphia and Milwaukee fans will see ads aimed right at them. These ads are fantastic and speak directly to the folks in their metros. The Philadelphia one includes that excellent clip where convicted felon Donald Trump hides from an...
Any cat person will tell you that the most extraordinary honor a cat can bestow upon a human is the slow blink. Receiving a slow blink from your own cat is always lovely, but getting a slow blink from someone else's cat is magic. — Read the rest The post Study confirms what...
File under hideous things we definitely do not need: The 'Werther's Original Pocket Denim.' These jeans have 30 tiny pockets all the way up and down the sides, which Werther's Original candy company states are 'designed to fit a standard bag of Werther's Original hard...
I am notoriously bad at fishing minigames, so I can't explain why I asked my friends to try Webfishing, which they said looked like Animal Crossing but just fishing. Priced at under five bucks and with an overwhelmingly positive rating, it seemed worth a shot. — Read the...
Police became curious about the best-selling but inordinately-expensive special pizza offered by a Düsseldorf restaurant, so they ordered a 'number 40' for themselves. They received an unremarkable pie and some cocaine, then busted the joint. The bounty included 1.6...
TL;DR: Get Windows 10 Pro for your slow computer at $19.97 (save 89%) through October 27 for improved speed and security. My poor, old PC was wheezing its last breath. Sluggish, glitchy, and constantly crashing…it was practically begging for the sweet release of the...

TL;DR: I didn't think upgrading my laptop would do much, but this MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar changed my life for the better for less than $380! When my MacBook Air from college finally gave up—nope, I'm not telling you how old I am!—I — Read the rest The post The...
TL;DR: My kids were going to be stir-crazy during our road trip, so I added this CarPlay and Android Auto adapter to my car so they could watch movies on the go. Check out what I thought! Over the long weekend, my husband and I decided it would be a good time to squeeze in...
I just recently learned about the Bed-Stuy Aquarium, a beautiful make-shift aquarium created from a leaking fire hydrant at the corner of Hancock and Tompkins Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Sadly, however, the aquarium is no longer with us, as it was paved over by workers...
When you imagine an old western film, a tumbleweed or two blowing around in the background might come to mind. Many people associate tumbleweeds with an American desert landscape, but these annoying yet charming balls of prickly weeds actually came to the USA from Eurasia. —...
This wooden game for cats is impossible to win, but endlessly entertaining for the kitty (and for the humans observing the cat play it). The game consists of a series of wooden levers, which make a little toy mouse pop up from a hole when pressed down. — Read the rest The...
Watch what happens when a leech touches salt. In this disturbing video, we see osmosis as a result of salt exposure, which can be fatal. Salt creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the leech's body. This causes the leech to dehydrate and can lead to its...
A cute rescue dog named Daisy was overjoyed to see her owners when they returned home from a day out. But as the silly toy poodle looked at them through a mirror, she had trouble getting past the other obnoxious 'dog' blocking her way. — Read the rest The post Excited pup tr...
Donald Trump has already threatened political opponents, journalists, and immigrants, repeating for years that these three groups are the 'enemy,' 'enemy from within,' and 'enemy of the people.' But the insatiable king called for more targets today, adding lawyers, political ...
Vice President Harris rightly agreed with many of his former staffers and appointees that adjudicated rapist Donald Trump was a fascist. Jake Tapper points out the incredible boot-licking done by Speaker of the House 'MAGA Mike' Johnson and Kentucky's Pride Mitch McConnell...

TL;DR: For a limited time, this grade-A refurbished Lenovo 100e Chromebook is just $59.99 (regular price is $149). We've all encountered digital pickles. One minute, you're deep into a work project; the next, your precious laptop is out of commission, and you're scrambling...
Phil Lesh—founding member and bassist of the Grateful Dead—has died at age 84. I met Phil several times and he was always warm, approachable, and emanated joy when he played music. In fact, my son, around 10-years-old at the time, found the Afikomen at a Passover Seder...
A scandal is unfolding at Las Vegas's Westgate Resort. Guests are complaining of getting charged with room smoking fees of $500+ during times they weren't even in their rooms. 'Do not, do not, do not stay at the West Gate Resort,' warns a recent guest who found their...
It's a cheap and easy joke to say that the scariest sonic genre of all is earnestly performed ska music (lookin' at you, Axios). And so to help prove all the haters wrong, ska stalwart (and host of Hornpod and Hornpub) Matt Wixson put together this six-hour long playlist of...
Forget 3.5' floppies—San Francisco's Muni Metro is one of the few transit systems still using 5.25' ones. But not for much longer: the vintage storage media will be replaced as part of a $212m overhaul of railroad computer systems there. In April, SFMTA director Jeffrey...
