I just learned that HBO Now will be $15/mo. I don't MMO, so ... well, yes.

Sometimes GenCon can be beyond cool:

You've probably heard of Watson before, and maybe even this app, but I had no idea this existed.
It's kind of hilarious/interesting to feed journal entries into this thing and see what pops out. The results seem pretty consistent; so far Watson thinks I'm somewhat compulsive, melancholy, altruistic and non-traditional, for example.

Plug in the bio for John Glenn from his Wikipedia page.
Compare and contrast it with Gloria Steinem.

I knew Molly Ringwald coming back to movies would herald the return of the 1980s.

At the grave of John Hughes, a moldy, worm-eaten claw just erupted from the earth, clutching a Breakfast Club script.

I was reading TV Tropes (which will ruin your life, by the way) when I got reminded of The Sleep Talkin' Man, who is hilarious. So if you have never scanned that blog, you should, just for the random, non-sensical hilarity.

"You know, they say if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.." (Awkward beat.) "I-I'm sorry, keep going, I don't know where that came from, go ahead. Oh, I think there's a 'k' in 'knucklehead.'"

Princess Rap Battles

The flow for Snow White vs Elsa is awkward and not so good, but they get progressively better, and a lot of the referential jokes are pretty funny. Galadriel vs Leia has one of the best snarky uses of a comma ever. ;D Also wtf surprise Sarah Michelle Geller?

Ranked in chronological order of production:

Ranked in order of awesome and lulz, more like:

Edit: Also surprise Yvonne Strahovski. o.O
