After Netflix’s reboot of Arrested Development went down pretty damn well, its sights have turned to the next obvious candidate for the same treatment: cult satire classic Wet Hot American Summer.

These are the most amazing aerial photos of New York ever, period

It’s always exciting to receive a message from a master like Vincent Laforet telling you about his new photos. This time he has outdone himself (once again!) so I had to share it right away.

John Mayer: Free Fallin’

I’m not normally an emotions sorta person when it comes to music — sure, I listen to stuff basically 24/7, but normally to block out distractions (or because Taylor Swift is hella catchy). There’s not many songs I’ve listened to on repeat because the emotions get to me, but John Mayer’s cover of Free Fallin’…

How To Spot Comet Lovejoy With The Naked Eye

Comet Q2 Lovejoy passed closest to Earth on January 7th and has been putting on a great show this past week. Glowing at magnitude +4 with a bluish coma nearly as big as the Full Moon, the comet’s easy to see with the naked eye from the right location if you know exactly where to…

Holy Hell, I Had No Idea The LEGO Movie Was So Hard To Make

If you’ve watched The LEGO Movie, you were probably too busy laughing/reminiscing to actually think about the work that went into production. That’s a shame, because as this behind-the-scenes clip shows, it takes a lot of effort to make little plastic men talk. The film is made partly with stop-motion animation, using real bricks, and…

SpaceX Came THIS CLOSE To Sticking Its Historic Landing

SpaceX’s dull cargo run to the space station featured an exciting secondary mission: the first-ever attempt to land the booster rocket on a floating spaceport drone ship for recovery and reuse. The Falcon 9 hit the barge too hard, impacting rather than landing, a failure so close to success it’s worthy of celebration. https://gizmodo.com/spacex-will-try-landing-on-barge-after-fridays-cargo-fl-1672098313 Falcon…
