16 Photos of Quokkas, aka Your New Favorite Animal
If you're anything like us, right now you're probably mentally screaming, "WHAT? What is this?!! How have I never seen this adorable creature anymore?" Don't feel too bad -- it's a quokka, and it lives primarily on some islands off the coast of Australia, and is currently listed as being a "vulnerable" animal. So it's not like they're walking around all over the place.
Twitter Celebrates NBA Center Jason Collins Coming Out as Gay
If you've been hiding under a rock, or just somehow not on the internet at all today, here's a newsflash -- Jason Collins is now the first active NBA player to be openly 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 this year.
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 ahead. Also, it's a HBO show with a lot of violence and other naughty things. So NSFW unless you work for King Joffrey.
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, and this is how we choose to remember her -- as all the crazy chicks from one of our favorite shows.
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.
