Because how are robots going to overthrow humanity if we don’t make them tough, harbingers of the apocalypse IHMC Robotics has conspired with Boardwalk Robotics to develop a Nadia humanoid robot capable of maintaining its balance after getting shoved on a treadmill. Yeah, make it resilient then piss it off! I think it goes without saying, but this is all going to end poorly for fleshbags.

Keep going for the video while I wonder why if they had to make its pincers look like it’s carrying a gun.

This is a short video of a man turning an empty Jack Daniels bottle into a gin glass. Wow, drinking gin out of a whiskey bottle, is nothing sacred? Just how drunk are you? Honestly, I’m not sure why anybody would want to drink gin out of anything — gin is what you drink when you hate yourself. *closes eyes, recalls the countless nights of gin & tonics* Also, I assume this glass is hand-wash only because those labels are definitely coming off in a dishwasher. Questionable project, 2/5 Fireball shots. And just to be clear, even 5/5 Fireballs shots isn’t all that great because they’re Fireball shots. Fireball is what you drink when you hate yourself but just aren’t willing to admit it yet.

This is a video from Thomas Edison’s motion picture studio of the first ever copyrighted film, The Blacksmith Shop, filmed by Edison’s assistant W.K.L. Dickson, and delivered to the Library of Congress for copyrighting in August of 1893. Granted it’s not a particularly exciting film, but historic nonetheless. Ah, August, 1893 — I remember it like it was yesterday. I was courting a lady but her family disapproved of our relationship. Mostly on account of my being an undead warlock and all.

This is a heartwarming video from The Dodo highlighting the life of Grace, who lives with eight rescue dachshunds. She even takes them all to a drive-through carwash where they have a little wiener rave in the car, complete with light show and glow necklaces. So, if you were wondering if these dogs are living more fulfilling lives than I am, the answer is by far. Still, I think all my ex-girlfriends would agree that as far as dogs go, having eight is at least eight too few. “Let’s move to the country and start a rescue dog farm!” — every girlfriend I’ve ever had. Is that a universal crazy woman dream?

8 rescue dachshunds have an actual rave in the car wash 🕺

New York City 1, a 1942 piece by famed abstract artist Piet Mondrian, was unknowingly hung upside down (left) at its initial public display in 1945 (Mondrian died in 1944), and has been rehung the same way ever since. Well that’s embarrassing. Get it together, art nerds, those art history degrees of yours have failed us!

Indicators suggesting an incorrect hanging are multifold. The similarly named and same-sized oil painting, New York City, which is on display in Paris at the Centre Pompidou, has the thickening of lines at the top.

A photograph of Mondrian’s studio, taken a few days after the artist’s death and published in American lifestyle magazine Town and Country in June 1944, also shows the same picture sitting on an easel the other way up.

Because the piece consists of pieces of colored tape “already hanging on by a thread,” the piece will remain hanging the way it is (read: incorrectly) to prevent gravity from pulling the tape in the opposite direction and damaging the piece. What a scandal. *yawn* Now if you could just point me in the direction of the tasteful nudes gallery, I could really use a pick me up.

This is another compilation video created by Trekkie John DiMarco (previously), this time featuring Star Trek clips that include the phrase “Klingons do not…” and variations thereof. Apparently Klingons don’t actually do a lot of things. I suppose that makes me more Klingon than I’d previously thought, because I hardly do anything. Take my whole life for example.
