Sometimes our dog enters what our house refers to as "meth jackal mode" if we don't throw the ball quickly enough.

Badgers think they're so great just because they can eat 100 earthworms every night. I could probably do that too if I wanted to

Absolutely buzzing over this new video of a rarely seen giant squid

The building where I work has somehow scrambled all the electronic locks, preventing anyone from badging in. Building management now has someone standing outside with a physical key to let us in. This feels like being a side character in an obnoxious stealth level of a video game.

RIP Martin Luther, you would have loved Papal Audience Black Friday deals.

Hello? Yes, I'd like to report a hate crime against Italian-Americans.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

As we approach the Thanksgiving season, let us not forget the true meaning behind the holiday: vicious dinosaur techno-horror books about the commercialization of violence and the misuse of copyright laws. Just as the pilgrims intended.

I nominate KEY & PEELE for this vital role.

I'm deeply sad to report that our cat passed away this morning. My wife adopted her from the shelter a couple years before we met, so she's always been part of our household together. Here she is, doing what she loved most, casting disdain down upon the rest of the house from a comfy spot.

My wife has to be at work today even though most of her colleagues are currently out. That means she gets to enjoy a thoroughly ominous work environment today.

never let a kidnapper take you to a second location and definitely don't let them take you to a third location. now if you're at the third location i know what you are thinking "why not go to the fourth location?" this type of thinking is a trap. alright now five locations? who are you kidding?
