The Leader of Suicide Squad Also Thinks the Movie’s Ending Sucked

Study: Dogs Bite Anxious People More

If you’ve ever been nervous around a dog and told to just be calm because dogs can “smell fear,” you know that that advice is about as effective as telling a pissed-off person to chill. The sentiment behind that guidance, though, appears to be rooted in some truth: While dogs probably can’t smell fear, they…

The Maximortal Is a Chilling Fable About How Superman’s Creators Got Screwed

We all know Superman’s origin story. It’s so simple and elemental that Grant Morrison was able to boil it down to “Doomed planet. Desperate scientists. Last hope. Kindly couple” in All-Star Superman’s opening page. But in the 1990s, another iconoclast comics-maker made a fable about the unfairness at the core of Superman’s rise to ubiquity.…

Coca-Cola Spends $1 Million Rebranding Iced Tea That Sounds Like Vulgar Word for Genitals in Europe

Last month, Coca-Cola announced that it was bringing its billion-dollar tea brand, Fuze Tea, to 37 countries in Europe. The only problem is that “fuze” doesn’t mean what they might’ve liked in German-speaking Switzerland. “Fuz” or “futz” is a “very crude and sexually-connoted word” according to Swiss-German weekly newspaper Handelszeitung. Redditors say it’s closer to…

Whole Foods Is Datafying Its Employees to Death

Whole Foods stores have experienced rampant customer complaints as shelves sit empty following the rollout of a digital inventory system that’s intended to improve efficiency.

Claim Your Gold and Uranium at Bears Ears Starting Friday

Bright and early Friday morning—6 a.m. MST, to be exact—what was once the Bears Ears National Monument will be open to those who want to mine it. They can arrive at the now-unprotected land to, literally, stake some claims. Thank President Donald Trump for that. His proclamation to modify (more like erase) the designation for…

A New Comic Will Imagine the Planets of the Apes We Never Saw on Screen

The original Planet of the Apes is an all-time classic, but the beloved movie wasn’t the first crack at bringing Pierre Boulle’s work to the big screen.

That ‘Loaded Grenade Launcher’ Found in a Goodwill Bin Is Actually an Airsoft Toy

On Thursday, news outlets around the country reported what seemed like an “only in Florida” story: Goodwill workers in the state found a grenade launcher in a donation shipment, complete with a live grenade.
