It’s more fun to believe in a world where magic can possibly exist but then you see a different camera angle of a cool magic trick and realize it’s all just misdirection, tricks, and fantastic finger dexterity.

Hey Twitter, Looks Like There Was a White Supremacist Ad On Your Website

Hey Twitter, good job on finally rolling out that anti-harassment feature today. Unfortunately, you’re not out of the mud yet. Looks like at least one questionable promoted post found its way into a Twitter user’s feed. (Another user also claimed to have seen the post in her feed.) The account that allegedly put out that…

Is Donald Trump the E-Savior Vapemericans Have Been Waiting For?

Following last week’s election, many watched with trepidation to see if President-elect Donald Trump planned to make good on his campaign threats to religious liberty, women’s rights and freedom of speech (among other things).

Peach Emoji Restored to Natural Beauty After Outcry from Ass Activists

Apple considered killing the peach-butt, but the ass lobby made its demands loud and clear. In the first developer beta test for iOS 10.2, Apple redesigned all its food emojis, most notably the peach, which as we all know, is also an ass.

Robert Heinlein’s Scifi Classic Stranger in a Strange Land Is Coming to TV

True to its name, the Syfy channel has made a habit of adapting science fiction and fantasy literature both established (Childhood’s End, Hyperion) and contemporary (The Expanse, The Magicians).

Watch a Clip from Tonight’s Season Finale of Syfy’s Chilling Channel Zero: Candle Cove

Tonight’s the night, Tooth Children. The finale of Syfy’s Creepypasta-inspired show Channel Zero: Candle Cove is upon us, and the six-episode show still has many horrors left to unravel.

Supercut Of Every Time Someone Said ‘Some Kind Of’ on Star Trek: Voyager Is Some Kind of Brilliant

The crew of a Federation starship sees a lot of weird shit while they’re boldly going—the crew of Voyager more so, given their time flung across the other side of the galaxy in the Delta Quadrant.

The new MacBook Pro is far from perfect. It’s expensive, the Touch Bar feels like a gimmick, it’s not upgradable, and the USB-C ports means you’ll be stuck using dongles, at least in the short-term. These are all valid reasons for Mac fans to be unhappy with the new MacBook Pro. But the silliest reason…
