Department of Homeland Security stooge Tricia McLaughlin went on Fox News to explain why Portland needs a federal invasion. Apparently, it was overrun by imaginary hordes of 'mass assault' protesters that only the Trump administration can see. The rest of America, including...
California's lighthouses once guided gold rush ships and saved lives. Now they're mostly guiding tourists to gift shops while slowly collapsing into the Pacific. The Coast Guard has moved on to 'virtual buoys,' which is bureaucratese for 'we give up.' The elimination of...
Transportation Secretary and reality TV participant Sean Duffy says he's ready to 'shut the whole airspace down' if the remaining unpaid air traffic controllers get too tired to keep the skies safe. That's not leadership; it is extortion by incompetence. Forty years after...

I would say 2006's Bully was like Grand Theft Auto for kids if we weren't all playing GTA as kids anyway. Even so, this private school sandbox from the days when Rockstar actually put out more than one game a decade has held onto an enduring fan base over the years —...
I am usually up for any unholy combination of flavors that Oreos come in. Coke, Sour Patch Kids, Kyber crystal, I bought them all. But Mondelez International/Nabisco has gone too far this time with Thanksgiving Dinner Oreos. The Thanksgiving Dinner Cookie Tin contains...
I'm blown away by cellist-turned-photographer Charles Brooks' images of the interiors of rare musical instruments. Each instrument appears as if it's straight out of a dream — some look like futuristic structures, some like fantasy castles, and others like secret lairs of...
State Highway 165 (SH 165) is a roadway in Texas that stretches through the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. The highway stretches only a half mile and is the shortest primary state highway in Texas. SH 165 is also unusual because it's partially locked at night and no longer...

Some places in the world fell back chronologically yesterday. Whether you enjoyed an extra hour of sleep, some quiet time sipping coffee in bed, or whatever your Sunday looked like, here's to embracing that extra hour. And as a little food for thought: time is a construct,...
Watch clay slicing pro Ellard Devane's trippy horror animation, 'Nosferatu Zombie Chainsaw Massacre.' My favorite thing about it is that all the special effects are done by hand, not with AI. To make these videos, Devane uses the classic stratacut technique, where a block of ...

If I told you one of the most harrowing looks at how dangerous LLMs can be to the human psyche came from a YouTube video originally intended as a comedy, would you believe me? The danger of having a digital sycophant willing to believe and affirm everything you tell it is...
Who among us isn't a badass in our own mind? Who hasn't watched a Mission: Impossible movie and thought, 'I could totally do that'? If you've ever pictured yourself unleashing your totally real kung fu skills you totally have on an annoying person in your life (and don't...
Authoritarian governments of all stripes love — and need — to keep a tight leash on their citizens. Ten years ago, the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China was kinda comfortable with allowing its citizens to engage in capitalism and explore what...
Lençóis Maranhenses may be the most magical-looking place I've ever seen in a video. This stunning location is on the northeast coast of Brazil. Here, you can find an otherworldly-looking intersection of sand dunes and blue lagoons. Despite its desert-like appearance,...
