Bible salesman Donald Trump is grifting again, this time hawking worthless "Trump black cards" for $100 a pop. (Yes, you read that right — 100 bucks for a wallet-sized card that offers nothing but a photo of Trump's mug shot.)
And again, he somehow roped daughter-in-law Lara Trump into doing the dirty work — as in the sales pitch — in which she encourages MAGA disciples to fork over their hard-earned money to prove that they "are a true Trump Republican." — Read the rest
A third Boeing whistleblower is a bit spooked after two others died within weeks of each other — one by a gunshot and the other by a "sudden, fast-spreading" infection.

I recently started learning to play the drums and joined a band. It's the most fun I've had in ages—I highly recommend it! There are currently just three of us, so there's still room for a few more in the band. — Read the rest
Ozzy Man Reviews has done it again. Here's a recent commentary where he takes the point of view of a poor koala that was stuck in a hole. Some kind strangers tried to help rescue the poor chap by dragging a huge tree branch and throwing it down into the hole so that the koala could use it to climb out. — Read the rest
A neighborhood dog was busted after a family's package — a pair of basketball shoes — was stolen from their porch. And much to the family's chagrin, their own dog was an accomplice to the crime.
At first, the mom — who ordered the shoes for her son — didn't know what happened to their delivery. — Read the rest
You know those somewhat-sappy videos where couples answer questions about each other? This isn't one of those. It looks like one of those but, as you'll see, it's 1000% a spoof. In this video, each couple is put on the spot with a seemingly simple, though pointed, question: "What's your partner's least attractive feature?" — Read the rest
I have been waiting for so many things in this movie, like the OG Wolverine costume and hair. And Madonna's Like a Prayer, for some reason. But no cocaine because that's the one thing [Kevin] Feige said they can't do. The R rating lets Wolverine really be Wolverine. — Read the rest
This clever bird doesn't play around when it comes to stirring coffee—or at least try to. Watch him grab a metal spoon in his beak and mix it up with great passion.
I'm glad this bird knows what a serious matter it is to make sure that cream and sugar is properly mixed into one's coffee. — Read the rest
Miss Jazzy is a Goldendoodle who has style and sass for days. I can't stop watching videos of her sitting on the back of her favorite chair making hilarious faces, throwing shade, and giving the best side-eye. I honestly cannot get enough of her precious face! — Read the rest
If graphical demos generated by extremely short snippets of code tend to be correspondingly brief, Remnants by Alcatraz is startlingly extensive. I just can't believe this somehow emerges from 256 bytes of code! Slow pans across a detailed industrial fractal city, fading into the raymarched mist, with crossfades from one view to the next. — Read the rest
Thanks to coverage of the earthquake in Taiwan, I learned about the popularity of rooftop pools. The quake caused one pool to overflow. This gentleman's pool didn't overflow but it did turn into the equivalent of a water park attraction. — Read the rest

The number of adventurers with their sites on Mt Everest is increasing. In 2023, Nepal authorized 473 climbing permits, not including Sherpa guides and support staff. Unfortunately, the popularity of the peak has caused a shitty problem.
"The problem of human waste on Everest was very bad," says Diwas Pokhrel, first vice president of Everest Summiteers Association. — Read the rest
These videos of dogs getting pampered (previously at Boing Boing) during bathtime are so awesome, I can't stop watching them. They aren't technically ASMR videos, but they might as well be labeled as such because they include lots of relaxing sounds along with the adorable doggos. — Read the rest
Poor "Don Poorleone" Trump, as the online population now calls the glum ex-president.
Already upset after President Biden mocked him again, sarcastically "congratulating" the braggart for "winning" a senior golf tournament at his own club, Trump cried to reporters as he shuffled into a New York courtroom this morning to face his hush money hearing in front of Judge Juan Merchan. — Read the rest
CBS' Carter Evans interviews some skaters who'll clean your pool if they get to skate it.
These skaters are awesome! Using Google Maps to identify pools in their hood that could use some love, these guys have found a way to keep their skates on. — Read the rest
