Jared Leto is the living vampire Morbius in the new Spider-Man universe movie. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss a glimpse of Spidey… and stick around for a moment that connects Morbius to the bigger picture.
Batman is robbing churches?
Batman must have done such a good job that now he has to commit his own crimes to fight.
There is no doubt, based off of physic alone, that has to be the ACTUAL Batman!
He’s been going around Walker County, Alabama (known famously as the home of Batman) stealing from Churches.
That’s just ice cold.
Goes to show you that in today’s world you just can’t trust anyone.
Not even Batman.
Cutest supply drop of all time
With the terrible wildfires going on in Australia right now some animal’s food supply has been destroyed causing a mass threat to their likelihood of survival.
But there are angels that roam this earth, and they are airdropping carrots and sweet potatoes to all of the little creatures who can’t find food.
Operation Rock Wallaby 🦘- #NPWS staff today dropped thousands of kgs of food (Mostly sweet potato and carrots) for our Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby colonies across NSW 🥕🥕 #bushfires pic.twitter.com/ZBN0MSLZei

There’s some awesome footage of volunteers doing the food drop here.
So sweet, makes me want to be a better person.
Big dumb stupid idiot face of the day: Canadian Family Feud edition
When the pressure is on, that is when the greats come out.
Jeopardy James, Know it Ali, Albert Einstein, all of the great trivia minds of the world know to take themselves out of the moment and use common sense.
Unfortunately for this lady, but fortunately for us, she does not have that clutch trivia gene.
HA! What a dummy!
Not everyone was made for the big trivia circuit. Maybe she can find more success in the foreign circuit.
Better luck next time, and congrats on being today’s big dumb stupid idiot face!

Green Day looking to play barn, garage, or “big backyard” party
In a video posted to Instagram, Billie Joe Armstrong says Green Day is looking to play a “backyard” gig to celebrate the release of “Father Of All…”
Now, before you get TOO excited, one of the only rules put forth so far is that the location has to be in California. BUT….after that, there are no rules. Billie says the location can be “a relatively big backyard that we can do, like, a backyard party somewhere? Maybe come play at your house, or your garage, backyard? Or do you have like a barn? Or is there a church or a church parking lot?”
I ask — if someone has a barn here in Chicago that is too good to pass up, would Green Day? If not, you can always look forward to the Hella Mega Tour.– [eric]
Rage Against the Machine on the same fest as Foo Fighters & RHCP
How is this even legal? How are they even able to put this together? Why can’t this be here in Chicago? These are all questions I was asking myself when I read on Consequence of Sound that Rage Against the Machine will play the Boston Calling festival in May along with the Foo Fighters and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Yes, all of those bands on one festival in one weekend.
Rage is already committed to several shows this spring for their big reunion run including headlining Coachella in the wine country of California.
Does this mean we could see the seismic power of RATM will be a part of a big fest in Chicago this coming summer? Only time will tell.
What’s this green stuff oozing into Lake Michigan?
The government is trying to poison us!
Well, that’s at least what it looks like with all this green stuff oozing into Lake Michigan.
Don’t worry, it’s only some environmentally safe dye that was put into the water as part of the routine maintenance at the water treatment facility.
Or that’s at least what they want you to think…
Just ignore all of those fish with 3 eyes and 7 nipples.
Trust no one, not even yourself. But most importantly; Don’t drink the lake water.
Well just for today at least.

The most inappropriate sports call that you’ll ever hear
This is either the single best call ever made during a sporting event, or it’s the absolute worst.
There is no in between.
I’m…. im not sure how I should feel about what this announcer just said? pic.twitter.com/gfvfYVKwme
— Ross Homan (@Ross_homan1) January 9, 2020
I mean, bringing up your dead dog being run over is an aggressive move, some would even say unneeded.
However, saying “ran over like that,” is the greatest comeback in the history of sports.
So when you look at the whole picture these announcers are coming out batting .500.
Mystery solved, good job team.
Watch the flying taxi vehicle’s first U.S. flight
Well, watch out Uber and Lyft, the flying taxi is coming. In North Carolina this week a crowd of about 100 people including the state’s governor, watch the first North American flight of the eHanmg 216, a newly developed autonomous flying vehicle. It basically looks like a really big drone that could seat two people.
UPI reported that no people actually took the short flight on a test track as Federal Aviation Administration rules currently do not allow autonomous aircraft to carry people.
Imagine the possibilities? Pulling up an app on your phone, ordering a flight in this, and being whisked away above car traffic. Don’t expect it to be cheap or be available any time soon.

Joker gets blown up, Bruce Wayne is a hyena in new ‘Birds of Prey’ trailer
Birds of Prey hits theaters next month, featuring Margot Robbie returning to the role of Harley Quinn. The new trailer dropped today:

This is just plain crazy!
The batter needs to be ejected from all baseball after that hit.
Is this like, a crime?
Assault!
Jillian Michaels becomes the biggest loser while talking about Lizzo
There is no doubt among everybody that Lizzo is one of the most talented and entertaining people out there.
In fact, her size is really second to the awesome music she makes, and her fun and bubbly persona.
Jillian Michaels, however, can’t seem to get past the fact that people are celebrating Lizzo’s confidence in her own body.
.@JillianMichaels on Lizzo: “Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes.” pic.twitter.com/FkKBd8J87b
— AM2DM by BuzzFeed News (@AM2DM) January 8, 2020
Ok, Jillian, I’m sure you know everything about type 2 diabetes because you were a trainer on TV for a while.
Don’t you come after my girl Lizzo like that!
Baseball! Baseball! Baseball!
There is now a band-aid for your taint that promises to fix premature ejaculation for men.
As mentioned on the show, Justin’s dad suffers from this problem.
There are a few ways to combat this issue. Think about dead puppies, your grandma, or Justin’s dad’s favorite… baseball!
Does he really have baseball, baseball, baseball posted on the wall above his bed?
Yes, that’s a real photo of his room.
Is it weird that a man in his 50’s has it still proudly displayed above his bed?
Well, that’s not for me to answer.
Killers ‘Mr. Brightside’ but with lyrics re-written by Google auto-complete
If you text a lot, you get a bit lazy and let the auto-correct do the work for you. That odd every day thing that makes sentences a bit off is played into this viral video from Billy Cobb who has redone several alternative songs from Weezer to Radiohead with auto-correct changing the lyrics into these laughably off-point lyrics. It’s hard to listen to this without cracking a smile. Yeah, don’t expect the Killers to do this version of their classic ‘Mr. Brightside’ anytime soon.
The Killers are set to release a new album ‘Imploding the Mirage’ this spring with a big tour to follow.
Who You Gonna Call? Trent Reznor!
Many people like karaoke. I, do not. Watching tone deaf Chads sing their hearts out while onlookers gawk and share their humiliation on Instagram literally turns my stomach. I call it secondhand embarrassment, and the struggle is real. That said, every once in a while someone hits the stage, shoots their shot, and hits nothing but net. AND IT IS AWESOME. Check out this video of some random guy mashing up the Ghostbusters Theme with NIN’s Closer.
Props to this guy who chose “Ghostbusters” at karaoke but instead sang “Closer” over top of it pic.twitter.com/0fUknduZmv

There are Coyotes among us!
We love our dogs here in Chicago.
These, however, are NOT good boys! So be careful about who you’re trying to pet on the street. That’s should just be a given though…
Now we say this because there are coyotes wandering the streets of Chicago!
Yikes! You’re not supposed to be here!
Just be careful out there everyone!
