The internet can be extremely stressful at times, but it can also offer 25 seconds of pure, wholesome bliss that you can watch on a loop. Take this video of a dog pretending to be a baby, for example.

The precious “Staffordshire bull terrier pit bull cross” seen above is named Louis. According to the video description, his owner explained how he joined the family when he was just six weeks old and had just been taken off of his mother’s milk.

“He would suckle in his sleep a lot so I decided to give him a binkie to see if it would soothe him a little, he took it right out of my hand and started suckling it like a little baby and wouldn’t give it back,” the description reads. Read more…

The truth is, Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” is the anthem we needed in 2019.

The song was released in 2017, but it recently surged in popularity, topping the charts, bringing us laughter and joy in the form of DNA test memes, and even gaining the attention of people like Hillary Clinton. 

With a catchy beat, empowering lyrics that touch on self-love and question men’s actions, and, of course, Lizzo’s stunning voice, “Truth Hurts” is a straight up jam, one that not even members of Congress can turn down.

On Friday, during Congressional Black Caucus week, Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley busted a move to the song and shared footage of their delightful dancing on Twitter. Read more…

Ash Ketchum is finally a winner.

After more than two decades of struggles and near-misses in the Pokémon League, Ash finally scored himself a championship trophy. It happened in the latest episode as the Alolan League came to a close, more than 1,000 episodes into the long-running anime.

The race to the championship led Ash into a showdown against his friend, Gladion. Their dramatic match-up pitted two Lycanroc Pokémon against one another, and Ash pulled out a win in the end.

Ash has been a loser so many times, fans have just come to expect a downer outcome every time he steps up to compete. So as you might image, Pokémon fandom lost their collective shit over the weekend as it sunk in that Ash is finally a winner. Read more…

It’s been a tough weekend for hair.

Enjoy YouTube’s “leanback” interface while you can. A pop-up message on the streaming video site’s TV-friendly landing page says it’ll be gone soon.

There’s no indication of when it will be going away or why, but Mashable reached out to Google for comment. The pop-up message makes it clear that TV watchers will have to turn to supported devices like game consoles or streaming boxes as a user-friendly alternative for watching YouTube in the living room.

“This version of YouTube will be going away soon,” the pop-up message reads. “You’ll still be able to view youtube.com, but you can get an optimized experience on a supported device.” Users are then pointed to a YouTube help page that runs through exactly what qualifies as a supported device. (You probably own one.) Read more…

It’s with heavy hearts that we report Joe Keery, whose luscious hair sent teenagers and grown adults alike swooning, got bangs.

The Stranger Things star appeared at a dinner hosted by Chanel with the remains of his once-glorious hair hacked away. What was left can only be described as a Will Byers-esque bowl cut complete with choppy FRINGE BANGS. His hair, known for its voluminous waves, also appears straightened. 

Let’s just take a moment of silence to remember a legend. 

What prompted Keery to get rid of his signature mullet, the one characteristic that single-handedly carved him a spot in America’s collective heart? The man once gave a detailed interview to GQ, describing the very process that breathed life into his hair, and told the reporter, “Do I get recognized? I guess it depends on if I’m wearing a hat or notThe hairdo is a dead giveaway. There’s nothing I can do. It’s just the way my hair grows.” Read more…
