Every so often, something strange happens with pop music. The artists appear to be actually having fun. This sounds absurd if you grew up being told that singers are abused by their labels and are forced to sing songs they don’t even like, all written by strange men in Sweden. Yeah, some of these songs now are jokes. So, don’t let those jokes fly over your head.

Has World War III begun? We haven’t checked the headlines in nearly 20 minutes, so we aren’t sure. But we do know that we’ve lived in uncertain times before. In 1958, people thought China and the United States were on the edge of nuclear war. Today, most people haven’t even heard of that particular conflict. In fact, that conflict’s failure to escalate might be a cause for laughter. Find out exactly why below, along with some info about a truly unfortunate boat ride.

Advertising can be tricky when the law bans your product.

There was a time when we best remembered movies by reciting quotes to each other. “Luke, I am your father,” we said, along with, “Play it again, Sam.” We said, “Beam me up, Scotty,” and, “Elementary, my dear Watson.”None of those exact quotes appeared in the stories in question. But you can see why the real quotes mutated into the fake ones. Normal people aren’t great at doing impressions, so we erroneously inserted the name of someone the character was talking to, to give the quote context.

Remember when Facebook would broadcast which dorm you were currently logged in from, and there was no way to disable that? And we were all fine with this because of course we wanted people to be able to locate us and come by, why else would we be on Facebook
Remember when this app would let us know what device someone is tweeting off of and others would use that against them in arguments
Thousands of people mocking this kid without noting that that makes zero sense as a formula for polygon area. "WTF is this" is a much more thoughtful response than just blindly plugging the 2 into the expression and getting the answer.

The worst part of all this is I can no longer release my game where you talk to the bad guys about all the tariffs they're imposing, as it will seem too political https://t.co/GaXFsD50mB
