There comes a point in every young single frog’s life where they give up on the idea of finding true love. Burned by endless Tinder dates and failed romances, some frogs just forego the idea of “frogmance” altogether. 

They move into bachelor lily pads and Seamless entire fly dinners. They give up hope. 

But bachelor frogs could stand to learn a thing or two from Romeo, a Sehuencas water frog dubbed “the world’s loneliest frog,” who recently found love after a prolonged period of isolation. Romeo was believed to be the last of his species until researchers found a Juliet in a Bolivian forest. Read more…

Saturday Night Live‘s latest Weekend Update sketch mined Joe Biden’s penchant for inappropriate touching and Donald Trump’s ongoing U.S.-Mexico border drama for laughs. 

It’s hardly an all-timer example of SNL‘s recurring news segment, but co-host Michael Che got some good laughs out of Trump’s so-called “war on brunch”  (I cackled at his “Million Megan March” line). And I don’t know if the Independent Republicans of New York is a real thing (it’s not), but the IRONY of a pro-Trump group dragging Biden’s unacceptable behavior is delicious. Read more…

Jon Snow may know nothing, but boy are we hoping Game of Thrones star Kit Harington understands what he got himself into.

Considering the promo for Harington hosting the April 6 episode of Saturday Night Live involves Leslie Jones having him pelted with doughnuts and shamed, Cersei Lannister style, you can bet The Prince That Was Promised will be on the receiving end of at least a few Thrones jokes come airtime. 

How far the comedy powerhouse will take those zingers remains to be seen, but if the show’s track record and SNL fans’ appetites for Thrones roasting is any indication — it’ll be quite the sight. Read more…

The days of beaming your favorite Netflix show to your Apple TV are officially over. 

Netflix suddenly and unceremoniously stopped supporting AirPlay capability, quietly informing users accustomed to the wireless streaming feature of the change via service support page. 

“AirPlay is no longer supported for use with Netflix due to technical limitations,” the announcement read, offering up few additional details. 

Some users have interpreted Netflix’s unexpected parting of the ways with AirPlay as a not-so-subtle dig between competitors. Apple just recently announced a major play for streaming service dominance with Apple TV+ and prior to that “technical limitations” announcement, Netflix had been consistently compatible with AirPlay, first beginning in 2013.

Some people age well, and then there’s Paul Rudd. The Avengers: Endgame actor turned 50 years old on April 6, a fact that is barely believable to some and evidence of witchcraft to others. 

People on Twitter reacted to the news that Rudd is 50 whole-ass years old with skepticism and histrionics, which makes sense considering the dude has spent every year of his adult life looking the exact age he was when the Cold Ones came to him in the night, whispering promises of youth and success in exchange for something small, something he wouldn’t even miss, and after the bargain was struck he found they were correct.

Sometimes, the very best you can do is exactly what someone else did.

The journey that Epic Games has been on with Fortnite since the game’s “battle royale” mode launched in Sept. 2017 has been highlighted by smart moves. From the Battle Pass to seasonal shifts and wild, limited-time events that subvert the competitive purpose of the game, Fortnite has been blazing a trail.

Now, for its next trick, Epic is preparing an update that skips new and fresh in favor of been there, done that: the Reboot Van. It’s a feature borrowed from Apex Legends, the competing battle royale that launched earlier in 2019. Read more…

A video of actor Chris Evans asking members of US Congress to participate in his to-be-launched political website leaked to CNN, spoiling the breadth of his formerly secret project. 

As reported by CNN, the video shows Evans meeting with congresspeople, including Senators Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar, and encouraging them to answer questions about prescient political issues on camera. 

In the video, Evans says he intends for the website, “A Starting Point,” to be a “civic engagement project” that allows people to better understand the Democratic and Republican arguments for current issues affecting the country. Participating congresspeople are given a list of questions and subsequently interviewed on-camera by Evans, who asks in the video that participants keep their individual answers “around a minute” in length and to provide links for further information on each issue.  Read more…

Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi has never read A Song of Ice and Fire. He’ll get to someday – he’s been a bit busy for the past nine years working on the Emmy-winning Game of Thrones score. 

Before Thrones, Djawadi had done a handful of TV and film scoring, including the MCU-launching Iron Man soundtrack. His work caught the attention of Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who scheduled a meeting and showed him the first two episodes.

Djawadi got to work immediately, yielding one of the most indelible television or film scores of our generation and a theme song that, to be perfectly honest, slaps. Read more…

Not all gender reveal parties are bad — in fact, there’s one type of gender reveal that might *actually* be considered good.  

I know it’s hard to believe, especially when you consider the path of destruction our gender reveal hysteria has left behind. In 2017, a gender reveal party that involved explosives sparked a 47,000 acre wildfire and left $8 million worth of damage behind. Gender reveal parties have caused broken ankles and generated mass chaos. No one is safe — not the people forced to watch these parties or, far more seriously, the children forced to live out their parents’ highly gendered expectations. Read more…

I’ve been playing Elder Scrolls: Blades for a little under a week and have had a fantastic time with the surprisingly robust mobile title, but now that early access is open to the public there’s one little thing I feel OK whining about. 

I can’t be a stealth archer. Ergo, I’m kind of screwed.

For context, the only Elder Scrolls game I played before Blades is Skyrim, which is one of my all-time favorite RPGs. I’ve created dozens of new characters in Skyrim, from hardy Nords to scaly Argonians, and every time I’ve had grand ideas about who and what this character is going to be.  Read more…
