Imagine the shock of ordering an drink at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Massachusetts, only to receive it in an NFL-branded cup with an Eagles logo printed on the side.

That’s either a dream or a nightmare depending on how you feel about the New England Patriots. But it’s a reality that some Pats-loving Mass. residents have had to face in the aftermath of a mailing mix-up.

The error was first reported by The Sun Chronicle. The local paper for Attleborough, Mass. came across a Facebook post in which a resident of the town complained about getting an Eagles cup from her local Dunkin’. Read more…

A truck carrying a shipment of Axe body spray caught fire on a Texas interstate Friday morning, causing cans of the infamous deodorant to explode and coat the atmosphere with the scent of middle school boys who don’t know any better.

In the wake of the explosion, reported by local news station WDRB in Belton, Texas, the highway was shut down for more than eight hours to clean up all the debris. Luckily nobody was injured in the incident.

Take a look at the mess caused by hundreds of aerosol cans:

If you break a guitar string or bust a drumstick in half, that’s a pretty quick and easy fix for a live performer — just grab a replacement. If you lose your voice and singing is your entire job, that’s a whole different story.

During a concert in Berlin on Saturday night, U2 cut its set short after just five songs when lead singer Bono’s voice became noticeably strained.

Bono was apologetic when he told the audience that he couldn’t go on and said he was going to take a short break to find out what happened to his voice, as seen in the video below. Read more…

The first car crash experienced by Apple’s fleet of self-driving vehicles happened just last week and it was apparently caused by a human driver — not Apple’s own technology.

According to a DMV report from the state of California obtained by The Verge, one of Apple’s self-driving Lexus SUVs was rear-ended by a human-operated Nissan Leaf on Aug. 24 in Sunnyvale. No injuries were reported, but both vehicles were damaged.

Apple’s vehicle was merging onto the Lawrence Expressway and was moving at less than 1 mph, according to the report, and the Nissan was moving at 15 mph when it hit the self-driving car. The self-driving car’s speed seems quite slow for merging onto a high-speed expressway, but details are sparse in the report so we don’t know for sure if its speed was reasonable — the only information we get is that the vehicle was “waiting for a safe gap to complete the merge” when it was struck.

Now that it’s September, the hottest days of the year are (hopefully) firmly in the rearview. But for Childish Gambino, it still “Feels Like Summer.”

Donald Glover dropped a new video for his musical alter ego on Saturday. It’s a 5-minute journey through a summertime neighborhood populated by black celebrities (mostly hip hop stars), beautifully animated by artist Justin Richburg.

The video follows a young man — who looks suspiciously like a cartoon version of Glover-as-Earn, from Atlanta — as he strolls down the street, taking in the playful summer scenes. Occasionally he pauses and a dream-like interlude kicks in.  Read more…

The apples don’t fall far from the tree for the Trump boys, whether it’s being involved in the family business or perfecting a smile that’s actually somewhere between a sneer and simply baring one’s teeth. 

The eldest Trump sons — Eric and Donald Jr. — certainly don’t disappoint in reminding us of their old man, President Donald Trump, and all of his many, many foibles on a regular basis.

In fact, here are 13 photos that do exactly that. 

Awkward family interactions

President Trump has made a cottage industry of his weird interactions with First Lady Melania, and the boys have also been captured in weird states of familial affection, whether with their father or together.   Read more…

Luca Guadagnino has come a long way from Call Me By Your Name. His newest project, a remake of 1977’s witch-horror movie Suspiria, recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival to…somewhat mixed reviews. 

Reviewers say that while the movie is stylish and Guadagnino’s directorial eye is strong, the thematic additions he layered onto the original’s more straightforward horror plot worked for some people and turned others off. 

Here’s what other reviewers had to say about Suspiria.

It’s not scary, but the spooky tone is well done

Video games are often filled with secrets. They just don’t usually stay hidden for this long.

Doom series co-creator John Romero took to Twitter on Friday with an exuberant congratulations for Zero Master, the YouTuber who discovered a secret unlock that’s confounded Doom II fans for more than two decades. The secret is out now, and Romero is thrilled.

“CONGRATS, Zero Master! Finally, after 24 years! ‘To win the game you must get 100% on level 15 by John Romero.’ Great trick getting to that secret!” Romero wrote, before going on to explain how the trick works. Read more…

Outlander fans: Summer might be over, but your favorite time of year is just beginning.

On Friday, Starz dropped the official poster for Season 4 of the hit show based on the book series of the same name written by Diana Gabaldon. 

In the newly release image, Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe) and her love interest Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) stand hand-in-hand on the edge of a cliff under the words, “Brave the new world.”

The “new world” is presumably a reference to America, as Season 4 will send the characters to what is now the United States, per Deadline. Read more…
