Conceptually, these cycle-skates are a cool idea and definitely one-up any unicyclist. What these existed today? EXPN would actually be worth watching.

- Fox News Public Gaffe of the Day


Fox News president, Roger Ailes, publicly commented on how CNN correspondent, Soledad O’Brien is named after the prison in Central California, prompting her to shoot back a response, in tweet form, stating that she’s named after the Virgin Mary. At least she’s not named after Liz Lemon’s favorite chips, Sabor de Soledad.

- Goat in the City Pic of the Day


An Alpine pygmy mixed goat, Cocoa, loves to hang out in Manhattan as evidenced by the fact that she’s chillin’ on the subway. Jokes aside, it would make a cool episode of MTV’s True Life.

- It's Sundog!


This corgi either does not like to be lifted or is surveying its kingdom. In either case, it remains unimpressed.

Lights Out

As if cats already didn’t have it made with people scratching their fuzzy bodies, this little feline takes it to the next level by tricking a dog in on the action.

Super Britpop Reunion Video of the Day

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 06:15 PM PDT


For anyone who liked Britpop in the early ’90s and/or owns the Great Expectations soundtrack even though the movie was tepid, at best: It’s a safe assumption that you probably like Pulp. The band has been riding the reunion circuit like nobody’s business and closed out the first day of Coachella last night/early this morning. Youtube has made Pulp’s entire performance available (as well as most of the event), thus forever preserving an image of Jarvis Cocker strutting his stuff in the California desert.

- CISPA Continues to Make the Internet Mad News of the Day


Late yesterday, the House Intelligence Committee released a discussion draft for CISPA. The draft attempts to clearly define what a cybersecurity threat would be, though one would speculate that the bill’s origins probably come from a late-night screening of Live Free or Die Hard.

Anyone or Anything Can Blog News of the Day

- Anyone or Anything Can Blog News of the Day


Continuing to nullify any goodwill it’s gained thanks to its relationship with Pixar, Disney has announced that it has green-lit a new show, Dog with a Blog, which is, ostensibly, about a talking dog blogging about his human family. This sounds suspiciously like a G-rated version of Family Guy.
