Cats have long inspired musicians, but, hungry for more than just tuna treats, our furry friends are now posting their very own songs on the internet. With a little help from an auto-tune program, one kitty has padded into music history, marking the boldest new feline genre since The Jingle Cats rocketed up the…

Like the immensely popular battle royale game it’s based on, a Fortnite-themed festival outside of Norwich, England only had enough room for one person out of a hundred to leave happy. Sued by the game’s creator—which, it should be noted, is eager to point out it “was not in any way associated with the event”—and…

Generally speaking, using software to edit pictures of celebrities so they’re smiling is not a good idea. At best, the results are fascinatingly unpleasant. At worst, they’re a cultural and aesthetic horrorshow. The latest case in point is a collection of Eminem photos where his perpetual angry-boy frown has been, via …

After so many years of suffering the paychecks and prestige that comes with playing Batman, Ben Affleck has now confirmed he’s finally free from his personal dark knight of the soul. No longer will he need to scowl through Justice League or Suicide Squad movies. No longer will he have to endure having kohl rubbed onto…

For anyone wondering how honey is made, Discovery Channel UK’s YouTube page is here to help, maybe for eternity. Since Wednesday, the channel has been looping a How It’s Made segment on the subject over and over again, like some sticky-sweet, avant-garde stoner rock performance. The stream, which has been unfolding…

The ‘90s are back, baby, and with it comes high-waisted jeans and the Backstreet Boys, not to mention some of the decade’s most controversial cultural moments, including the story of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt. History has rendered the whole thing—which, y’know, includes Lorena cutting her husband’s penis off with…

69, which everyone knows is “the sex number,” has, until this morning, been reliably, innocently funny. You write it on something and it looks like two people engaged in wholesome, egalitarian, mutual oral sex. You type it on the internet and others respond “nice” in a linguistically solidified form of appreciation.…

Kids had to work to find things to do before the internet was widespread enough to consume all our lives. Desperate for something, anything to occupy their tender minds, they scavenged for dead animals to poke with sticks, hunted for stuff to set on fire, and, most troubling of all, devoted themselves to collecting…

There is so, so much music, yet, as we all well know, there is never anything to listen to. Now, thanks to Capcom, your ears will never be bereft again, because the video game publisher has graced Spotify with a gargantuan collection of its best and weirdest video game scores.

Most remember 1998's You’ve Got Mail as a benign romantic comedy where a mismatched pair fall in love thanks, in part, to outdated technology. It would be better if this was the case, but, alas, it’s not. Dig a little deeper and a far darker story appears—one about Tom Hanks’ bookstore CEO not only stealing the…

Aside from when its producers manage to wrangle together some noteworthy live performances, the Grammys are, by and large, the least culturally resonant awards ceremony that exist. This isn’t a new take, but it’s one that comes to mind when you see how much more impactful it is for a musician like Pink to receive a…

Cookie Monster—the monster, the myth, the legend—has, until now, been a shaggy blue enigma. Aside from his relentless drive for delicious baked goods and the numbers sung in his emphysema-inflected speech, ol’ Cookster has kept his secrets close to his crumb-covered chest. All of this has changed, however, with a…

The concept behind WeRateDogs is simple. Photos of cute dogs are posted on the account alongside babyish, internet-speak praise for being “good boys” and a rating that inevitably exceeds the maximum score of 10. Despite its innocuous premise, however, the Twitter account has managed, like a newborn puppy, to make all…

Conan O’Brien may recently have shortened his show’s runtime, but that doesn’t mean he won’t indulge in some Conan-ian tangents during interviews. Like, say, talking to Jean-Claude Van Damme about the quality of his butt.

As anyone who follows more than, say, 500 people on Twitter knows well, most social media timelines are the digital equivalent of sewage-choked rivers. While, by this point, it’s pretty much impossible to fully unclog these fetid waters, a Twitter plug-in inspired by Marie Kondo’s organizational methods is now here to…

Fuck Jerry, the fine folks best known for their work in marketing the Fyre Festival and making a successful company by stealing other people’s jokes, have found a bold new business strategy for 2019: shutting down videos critical of their practices.

If years of superhero movies starring everyone from Anthony Hopkins to Angela Bassett haven’t made it clear already, every celebrity you can think of is some degree of nerd or, in a distinction that really doesn’t matter, happy to settle into the pocket of Big Nerd. Nowhere is this clearer than in Relics And Rarities,…

Despite his gentle butterfly tattoo and a career built on singing sweetly about love, Maroon 5's Adam Levine is not to be fucked with. This is something we must all remember, especially as his power swells in the wake of last night’s Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Last night, in what reads as decades-late payback for Andy Warhol famously reclaiming brand imagery in his art, Burger King used a video of the deceased artist for their own Super Bowl advertising. Through footage taken from Jørgen Leth’s 1982 documentary 66 Scenes From America, viewers were shown Warhol munching on a…
