The NPR Twitter account decided to pay a Father’s Day homage to all the dads around the world by inviting people to share their “best” and “funniest” dad jokes in a thread. Some of them are real groaners, but in true dad joke fashion, it’s hard not to laugh at some of them. 

NPR got the ball rolling with some examples of its own. 

And others chimed in with their own jokes, either remembered from their own dads or from being dads themselves.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have only been parents for a little over a month, but ever since their son Archie was born on May 6, there haven’t been any pictures of the little fella available to the public. Until now! 

For Father’s Day, the royal couple released an adorable photo of baby Archie on their official Instagram account @sussexroyal, and in the spirit of the holiday he’s pictured in the arms of his loving dad Prince Harry.

Every day of Pride Month, Mashable will be sharing illuminating conversations with members of the LGBTQ community who are making history right now.

Tyler Oakley isn’t tired of the internet yet.

It’s been more than a decade since the 30-year-old created his YouTube channel — which now has nearly 7.5 million subscribers — and over the years he’s made hundreds of videos, encouraging aspiring creators to share their own experiences online, too.

One of the first openly gay YouTubers to attract a major following, Oakley uses his platform to help inspire other members of LGBTQ community to embrace their true selves. He shares everything from makeup, dating, and life tips to insightful videos on the LGBTQ activists he admires; interviews with iconic change makers like Michelle Obama; and an annual series called Chosen Family, in which Oakley highlights “stories of queer resilience” throughout the month of June.

TL;DR: This engaging online class on the popular data visualization software Tableau usually retails for $199.99, but you can enroll for only $9.99 during this sale.

To a certain degree, we’re all visual learners: Research has shown that humans are instinctively drawn to things we find aesthetically pleasing because they’re easier for our brains to process. 

That’s a very abbreviated version of modern philosophical and psychological notions of beauty, mind you, but you get the gist: If you’re able to present information in a way that people find fun to look at, they tend to better understand it.  Read more…

On an otherwise normal, sunny day, a bird of prey rode around on the hood of a moving car near downtown Los Angeles.

The hawk, likely a red-tailed hawk common to the city, landed on the car and wouldn’t budge for 15 minutes, reports The Eastsider. The bird didn’t move even as the car drove through the city’s palm-lined streets.

“He’s staring at us like he’s staring into our souls,” one of the passengers says in a YouTube video documenting the incident.

It may have been a younger, immature bird, exploring its urban world. Or perhaps the predator had another, elusive agenda.

Eventually the hawk flew off. But not before thrilling Angeleno dwellers, both in the car and on the street. Read more…

Amazon Spark, we hardly cared about knew you.

The shopping social network (a kinda gross concept to start with) disappeared from the internet and Amazon’s app some time in the past couple days, according to a report from TechCrunch.

Spark launched in July 2017, and was described by your friends at Mashable as “the grossest, purest thing on the internet.” It attempted to bridge online shopping and authentic socializing while also bringing in sweet, sweet cash for Amazon. 

The service allowed Prime users to post photos of their favorite products in an Instagram-like feed with an easy click-to-purchase option built in.  Read more…

The melting Arctic is on dramatic display.

At mid-June, Arctic sea ice is now at a record low for this time of year, and melted ice is especially notable both in and around Greenland — home to the second largest ice sheet on the planet. Steffen Olsen, a climate researcher at the Danish Meteorological Institute, snapped a photo on Thursday of Greenland sea ice that had melted into a large lake of aqua water, pooled atop the icy surface.

Olsen, along with local hunters, had to sled across the flooded ice to retrieve vulnerable weather and ocean monitoring equipment. Their sled dogs splashed through the icy water. Read more…

The cute-children-turned-post-pubescent-teens of Stranger Things proved they’re still the charming kids Netflix viewers flipped over when the show debuted in 2016. 

Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and Sadie Sink squeezed onto The Tonight Show sofas to talk about the on-set antics they used to pass the time while shooting Season 3. The group even taught Jimmy Fallon the “Chicken Noodle Song,” a purposefully irritating tune created by McLaughlin (“Lucas” on the show) to annoy his costars. 

Stranger Things Season 3 debuts July 4 on Netflix.  Read more…
