We thought this was a typo. We figured it was a mistake. We hoped it was a joke. No, this is real life, and this is someone that is looking to rent your baby for $25/hour. Cute babies only, of course.

A baby is now legally named Korn. And no, it wasn’t conceived at the Family Values Tour. A hospital is in some hot water after misspelling the baby’s name on the birth certificate, an error that the parents of the newborn didn’t notice until they were home from the hospital.
Baby Korn: "B…"
Kells: "Omg, she's about to say her first word"
Baby Korn: "B… -Boom na da noom na na nema
Da boom na da noom na namena" pic.twitter.com/oFw9mnQsO0— 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖚𝖓 (@Shadowfaaax) April 24, 2021

Industrial music, a subgenre defined by Sturm und Drang… storm and drive… has been making loud, challenging, dystopian noise since the 1970s. Hints of industrial have found their way into the mainstream, of course. You can pretty much trace Trent Reznor’s upbringing to the Wax Trax catalog of the 1980s. That said, Industrial has mostly stuck to the dark corners… the edges… of what we call alternative music. This week, it’s a roundtable overview of “Industrial 101,” with Raymond Watts (PIG, KMFDM) and Chris Connellly (Revolting Cocks, Ministry, etc.).

I think this is something a lot of us have done. Whether it be an old tape, DVD, video game rental, or book — some of those thing that we’ve borrowed in our lives just never made it back to their home. We pay our fines, we move on.
For one woman in Oklahoma, however, the cost was significant.
This woman recently found out she’s had a charge of felony embezzlement hanging over her head for about twenty years. Just for failing to return a copy of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch! And she’s never even watched the show!
The DA isn’t going to follow through on the decades old charge, but the story isn’t over. More here.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday 😮:
Wow. Quick thinking by UPS driver Marco Angel, who helped out a four year old boy who was — himself, just trying to help out. See — Max always goes out to get the packages for Mom. One problem: the young man wasn’t going to be able to lug a nearly 100 pound package into his family’s Oak Park home by himself. Nice job and quick feet, Marco! For the whole story, check out this video from CBS 2 Chicago:

After months of being separated due to the pandemic, this couple reunited in the cutest way possible and luckily for us, it was captured on film.
Spread kindness and give hugs to your fully vaccinated friends this weekend!
It could soon be illegal to release “a large amount of balloons” outside in Illinois. House Bill 418 is looking to create a $500 fine for balloons that are released at birthday parties, weddings, and other social gatherings. The bill would act as an amendment in the current Environmental Protection Act, but it does raise a few questions, mainly what is a large amount of balloons and how would they enforce this?

A video from a North Carolina dash cam just surfaced of an SUV narrowly escaping its untimely demise. This is absolutely terrifying.

This video came onto our radar and we were horrified by what we saw. Do you know what we want from our flight crew? We want them to focus on LANDING THE PLANE. We can throw our hands in the air like we just don’t care once all four wheels touch down at our desired location. We’re also still in the midst of a pandemic. Maybe just put on your mask, sit down, and pray for the best.

It’s probably been a minute since you’ve thought about Guitar Hero, and that’s okay. All you need to know is that there’s still a small community that is still super into this game and one man just perfectly executed a song far more difficult than “Through the Fire and Flames”. Look at this insane display of finger-tapping.

Good news for Blue Line commuters! State of the art new train cars have been installed and are being tested and implemented through 2022. On the outside you’ll notice a bright blue front and bigger glass panels on the sidecars. On the inside you’ll be greeted with easier to read digital boards, better spacing to fit more people, and other bells and whistles. Sounds pretty cool! Do you think this will get you to choo-choo-choose to take the L more? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
