Twitter Celebrates NBA Center Jason Collins Coming Out as Gay

The Funniest Moments From the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
The annual White House Correspondents' dinner took place this past weekend, and it was a delight. We honestly think it was probably the best performance at one of these dinners since Stephen Colbert roasted George W. Bush right in front of him (this makes us cringe a little bit less though). Only we aren't talking about Conan O'Brien -- we're talking about President Obama, who really hammed it up
Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 5 GIF Recap
We're halfway through the third season of 'Game of Thrones,' and things slowed down a little bit for last night's episode. Granted, there were still sword fights, executions and lots and lots of sex, but unless a dragon had blown up another city, anything was basically guaranteed to feel like a step down after the insanity of episode four. Let's take a look at what happened. (As always, spoilers a
Postman Teaches Kid a Lesson He Won’t Forget
We're not sure if this is the best or worst postman in the world. On the one hand, he really makes sure that mail gets delivered. On the other hand, now a toddler is crying. You know what? We're going to go with best postman in the world, because this GIF exists thanks to him.
Hacked Tweets We Want to See
Earlier this week, somebody hacked the AP's Twitter account and posted a tweet saying that there were explosions in the White House and President Obama had been injured. The account was quickly suspended, and the situation dealt with.
‘Game of Thrones’ Bad Girls Read That Crazy Sorority Girl Email
We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.
So we made these mash-ups with female characters from 'Game of Thrones,' both to put a face to this deranged email, and because Rebecca Martinson has resigned from her post at Delta Gamma,
Wax Nostalgic About 1999 With This Intense Montage
Time travel hasn't been invented yet (or if it has, those jerks aren't telling us), so this is probably the next best thing.
‘Futurama’ Characters React to Cancellation
Well, it's happening. Again. Comedy Central has announced that 'Futurama' is being cancelled. The network opted out of renewing the show for another season, meaning that the 13 episodes airing this summer will be the show's last. In theory. Unless it gets another revival, pops up on Netflix or maybe they just make some more movies.
The Weirdest Justin Bieber Fan Art
Today, Justin Bieber surpassed 38 million followers on Twitter. This is equivalent to the entire population of Algeria, which is what we like to believe is actually happening. Everybody in the world hates Justin Bieber, except for Algeria, where he will soon move.
Reporter Shuts Down Double Kiss Video Bomb
We are so glad Boston field reporter Mike Tobin denied these two girls who attempted to plant one on either cheek while he was in the middle of a report. What kind of person goes up to somebody who's broadcasting a report about a terrorist attack and tries to interrupt it by getting smoochy?
Blind 4-Year-Old Stepping Off Curb Unassisted Will Break Your Heart
Watch this video, and suddenly all your problems seem pretty small. Gavin, 4, is completely blind. This video shows him stepping off a curb unassisted for the first time.

This Corgi Does Not Appreciate Being Dressed Up Like a Panda
Maybe it's not okay to laugh at the misery of others, but would you just look at how much this corgi hates wearing a panda costume? It is hilarious.
‘Game of Thrones’ Season 3, Episode 4 Recapped in GIFs
Holy moly, *this* was an episode of 'Game of Thrones.' We actually, honestly said many expletives out loud watching it last night. When it was over we felt a little bit like somebody crashed a pair of cymbals right over our head. Now we are sad that we have to wait until next week to see more, so here are some glorious GIFs to help you relive the episode all week long. And remember, it's a HBO sho
Men and Kittens Basically Has to Be Your Favorite Tumblr
French Tumblr Des Hommes et des Chatons (Men and Kittens) makes us wonder -- do we like kittens because they remind us of hunky dudes, or do we like hunky dudes because they remind us of kittens? Or, are they both great and this is the best Tumblr evvvaaar?! Probably that last one.
15 Oddly Eerie Photos of Boston as a Ghost Town
Boston is currently on lockdown as police continue the manhunt for Dzhokar A. Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.
