TL;DR

On Sunday night, beloved Game of Thrones character Hodor valiantly sacrificed his life for two of his friends (because one of them was mind-controlling him and the other was repeatedly yelling at him to kill himself). Ever since, the internet has belonged to loving Hodor tributes.

Also, some...

The Hollywood Reporter published a profile of HBO's incoming head of programming Casey Bloys this morning, one that suggests Nic Pizzolatto's anthology series True Detective is unlikely to return for a third season. The writing's been on the wall regarding the show's fate for a few months at this...

I was browsing the online configurator for Bentley's range-topping Mulsanne model this morning, and I stumbled upon the most delightful feature: the British luxury automaker names the suggested color combinations for each of its models and sub-models, and the names are fantastic. Molten Bronze....

Aspiring artist and Gemini Shia LaBeouf has quite literally taken to the streets in his most recent attempt to prove himself as a performance artist. His new project, #TakeMeAnywhere, asks people to pick up LaBeouf and his two collaborators, Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner, on the side of the...

At this point, you could probably write a boilerplate celebrity response to virtual reality, and Queen guitarist Brian May would be delivering the latest version of it:

There really are a surprising number of humans in the world, and a lot of them live near you. Sometimes you forget, but Tinder offers a helpful reminder. There's nothing like swiping through dozens of profiles, taking in new face after new face, to remember how much sheer humanity there is...

Today, Nilay Patel, a man who I used to respect as a colleague and an editor, turned to me and asked, "What's Overwatch?"

Now here I am, literally dying to go home and play Overwatch, trying to think of any plausible excuse to leave work early, and the very man who writes my paychecks has no...

The feature film The Angry Birds Movie is not art. It is bizarre anti-immigration propaganda, in which a peaceful Park Slope-esque society of green-juice-swilling, yoga-doing, procreating birds faces near destruction because of its extremely naïve willingness to trust and accommodate foreign...

When Netflix's designers and engineers get together for their biannual Hack Day, they usually manage to turn out at least one invention the streaming service's subscribers wouldn't mind taking for a public spin. They've created test interfaces for development versions of the Oculus Rift; they've p...

YouTubers CorridorDigital and Rotor Riot teamed up to make this incredible drone dogfight starring a Rebel X-Wing and three Tie Fighters. In their four-minute video, the two teams make an aerial battle that comes close to being as exciting and intense as anything that the official films produced...

Simone Giertz is a 25-year old inventor from Stockholm, Sweden, best known for charming the internet with her "shitty robots," as she calls them. Except they're not shitty at all, because they've fulfilled their purpose in delighting anyone with a pair of eyes and a heart full of childlike...

Let's get one thing out of the way: The Bachelorette is a mindless reality television series built upon a ridiculous premise of a bunch of conventionally attractive people competing for love. It is also quality television and I love every trainwreck second of it. And as is the case when you love...

Graphics cards! So hot right now. Whether it's the slow realization that jumping on board with the 2016 VR revolution requires a tricked-out gaming rig you'd never previously have dreamed of stashing under your desk, or the blitz of hype surrounding Nvidia's latest 1000-series GPUs, there's more...

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has declared that today is officially Beyoncé Day. He issued a decree and everything, with his official seal. This is a thing that governors do when they want attention, so here is some attention for you, Governor Dayton. Here is your tweet with the official...

If you haven't seen last night's episode of Game of Thrones yet, I suggest closing this tab and putting all of your devices on airplane mode and avoiding human interaction until you have the opportunity to do so.

Are you gone?

Okay, great. The lovable, perfect Hodor, who dedicated the last...

A couple of artists have teamed up with the Czech-German Future Fund to create a vacuum robot that can sort rocks. The result is much more mesmerizing than that description, I promise.

The robot is called Jller, named for the German river where the aforementioned rocks were collected. Jller uses...
