Facebook and Ray-Ban team up for Smart glasses.

Facebook’s never ending attempt to gather every last bit of data it can from you might have you wondering if this is real life or are we in an episode of Black Mirror?  Facebook teamed up with Ray-Ban to release Ray-Ban stories, sunglasses that can record video, play audio, and basically put Facebook on your..well..face. Now on one hand it could be nice to go to a concert and not have to see a bunch of cell phones in the air recording instead of rocking out, but on the other hand, do you really want anyone knowing where your eyes are at all times? Not me asleep during the last promo meeting…oh yeah..run back the tape! BUSTED.

You can build anything with LEGOS!

Legos might be the BEST kids toy. You learn how to follow directions, build cool things like houses and beach… houses, and it teaches you to clean up because stepping on those bad boys is hell.

One mother and son built something pretty rad though- check out this functioning Lego record player… just don’t step on it.

Bumble got sued for discriminating against… men

In 2020, Bumble had over 100 million users. Now, if you’re not in the dating game, or for some reason you don’t know how the dating app Bumble works- it’s like this- a woman and a man match, then SHE has to message him first. The idea is to give the power to the woman, because females can feel overwhelmed by dudes on dating apps.  It’s my understanding that most people go into Bumble knowing this, but it’s 2021 so here we go…

Now, someone (a dude on Bumble) felt discriminated against and filed a class action lawsuit. If it goes through fellas, you could be owed some moola! $32 to be exact… paid in Super Swipes… 29 of them… so… you’re welcome. The hearing is Oct. 7th, 2021.

THEY’RE YOUR SWIPES, AND YOU WANT THEM NOW!!!

What food should be made into a seasoning?

Twix now officially has our attention. The chocolate-caramel candy bar is now being packaged as a seasoning for anyone bored enough with life to dump chocolate flakes on their meat. The bottle of the concoction dubbed “Twix Shakers” suggests it’s an ideal topping for sweet treats like ice cream and milkshakes, but the candy brand claims it’s also an ideal way to take on chicken wings.

Woman realizes she has a mummified roommate

A woman in Texas realized that her landlord painted the walls a nice fresh, white, but unfortunately they painted over a dead cockroach that’s now mummified on the wall. The woman, Chelsea, tweeted a pic of the dead insect and the internet had their fun with photoshop…

A man went for a drink in Birmingham and ended up in THAILAND?! Bangkok to be exact. This is what happens when you don’t say no and just keep it going…

Tame Impala Photo Dump!

Tame Impala crushed last night at the United Center on the first stop of their US tour.  From the opening trippy vignette to the transformation of the UC to a planetarium laser light show, Tame Impala proved once and for all they are worthy of arena headlining shows.  Check out a few of my pics from the show below, and make sure you go see them if you ever get the chance.  Seriously 10/10.  -Manley

Florida started filling potholes in the all natural way

Two men in Fort Meyers, FL were fed up with the road conditions in their neighborhood. Instead of waiting for the local government to take care of it, they took matters into their own hands and planted a tree. That’s right, a big banana tree right in the middle of the road! No more damage to their cars- just a half-assed roundabout. Yeah, I don’t know, FL logic. Unfortunately, now people have less room to swerve and miss the pothole next to the tree… ahhh crap!

An Australian duck learned to cuss?!

He learned it from you Dad!!!

An Australian duck named Ripper has listened to humans his entire life, and thus has learned the beauty of the cuss words. The duck heard his handler’s way with choice words, and has picked up the phrase “you bloody fool.”  Listen, and tell me this duck isn’t the ducking coolest!

Whose Karen Is It?

We support wearing masks as much as the next guy, but this Chicago-based teacher took it to the extreme with one of his students.

Where is this Karen from? Sound off on Facebook!

You shouldn’t be sleeping naked

Many of us, ahem, yours truly included, don’t mind sleeping in the buff. However, science says, probably not the best idea- here’s why my friend…

We disgusting humans let gas loose 15-25 times a day. And some of the time, you guessed it, you’re sleeping. Don’t let that nastiness get into your bed!!

What is the worst television commercial of all-time?

The KQX Media Research & Preservation team brought something to our attention recently. Not only did Steven Seagal have an energy drink, which is weird enough for us to be intrigued, but he made commercials for said drink. This commercial is deeply disturbing. We can’t tell if the first girl is his daughter or his lover, his reactions make us question if he’s ever acted before, and they linger on for so long.

If that wasn’t bad enough, here’s a few more:
