Go on a Tinder date with Hillary Duff in her new music video.

Today Hillary Duff released a new music video that includes behind-the-scenes snippets of her going on a Tinder date.

We've known about Hillary Duff's Tinder use for a while, but now we get to watch a mini reality show about it interspersed between choreographed dance routines set to her catchy new single "Sparks." This is something I never knew I wanted until it was here.

In the video, Duff tells an interviewer why she joined Tinder, swipes through potential matches while eating a delicious meal alongside a clique of female friends with cool hair (which is a classic Taylor Swift public image move for a reason!), and then she meets up with a guy for her now-infamous bowling date.

If Duff is trying to manipulate us into thinking she's a down-to-earth, app-using, approachable young person so that we'll give her our money, it's absolutely working and I'm happy to oblige. Are you on Venmo too, Hillary?


Lindsay Lohan started her community service at a daycare, and a warning was sent to parents.

Lindsay Lohan started her 125 hours of community service at a Brooklyn daycare, and most people were cool with it.


Most people at Duffield Children's Center in Fort Green, Brooklyn don't care where help is coming from. Stuff needs to get done. That's why, when Lindsay Lohan finally showed up to finish her community service (she needs 125 more hours by the end of the month, or else face jail time), most of the school was happy.

Even the kids defended her. Then again, kids probably don't know what drunk driving is. To explain it to them, you'd have to spin them around a bunch of times and then make them ride a tricycle really fast, and say "Miss Lindsay did that for fun and now she's your teacher."

Though most welcomed her with open arms, the school did send out a warning to parents, informing them that the actress would be coming to watch their children. The note claimed that she would be under "constant supervision" like any other volunteer, which means (unfortunately for all of us hoping to see something weird happen) she won't be getting drunk in front of kids.

Nowhere in the letter did it say if the kids would all be forced to watch a screening of Liz & Dick. I'm guessing it will be shown if Lindsay comes in hungover.

Most of the parents seemed OK. One said: “Everybody has had their ups and downs and has had their trouble. I don't think she's terrible." Another said: "As long as she doesn't come here under the influence, I'm fine with it"

For a place that's famous for helicopter parents, Brooklyn sure seems to have a few who are willing to let any sober human watch their kids. Even one who's had multiple "problems."

FOX station blurs Picasso nipples out of news broadcast.

Report blurs out nipples in cubist masterpiece to protect viewers from seeing nipples as irregular as their own.


Curiously, the graphics department left the butt untouched.(via Twitter)

Cubist Expressionist painter Pablo Picasso's Women of Algiers (Version O) sold for a record-breaking $172 million a Christie's auction. It's a beautiful work, but it does have a few glaring issues: nipples. There are ladies—well, a series of colorful interplaying shapes and designs that represent ladies—in a state of undress. This put the news team for FOX 5 NY in a bit of a pickle. How can you air something on the news that sorta, kinda, maybe looks like a nipple but isn't a nipple? Blur it!

The report shows the masterwork, although digitally Bowdlerized to prevent anyone from seeing something they see every time they take a shower. Perhaps it is to save the innocence of some weird child left home alone and the family TV only picks up channel 5? We can't be sure. Jerry Saltz, New York magazine senior art critic, wrote on Twitter that censoring of the nipples in a Picasso was "sexually sick."

If you want to see more, you'll have to buy Women of Algiers (Version O): Uncut and Unrated to see all the stuff we can't show on TV.

Judging by these team pictures, this toddler basketball team hates basketball, everything.

I get it, kids. Team sports make me want to cry too.


That one kid gripping his forehead looks like he's six episodes into Game of Thrones, and someone just told him about the Red Wedding. (via Reddit)

Reddit user justgivemepizza posted this gem of a photo earlier this week with the note "My friend got her daughter's basketball team pictures today." I know toddlers can be moody, but this level of emotion seems like some next-level business. If you showed me this photo and told me that these kids had been kept awake for 48 hours and forced to repeat the words "I love basketball" over and over, I'd believe it. What else can explain the wide variety of expressions on their little faces, which range from total revulsion to absolute euphoria?

Don't worry, little guys. I'm sure that, at the very least, there's a pizza party in your future.

Old photos.

Of course there's a website that lets you send a jarred fart to someone you hate.

Whether you choose to include a note or remain anonymous, one thing's for sure: Your enemy will totally be sent a fart in a jar.


That is a pretty compelling argument. (via Send a Jart)

Send a Jart, the new service that lets you send your enemies a fart by mail, is the epitome of the American Dream. Really. What was this country built on other than people scraping together what little they had (in this case, farts and jars) to start a business based on a crazy idea (putting those farts in those jars)? Steve Jobs started Apple in a garage — who's to say the next big thing starting from humble beginnings isn't jarred farts! Hell, in 20 years time, there might be jarred farts in every school, and you'll be waiting in line for the new Fart Jar 6.

J/K, obviously, although I'm actually a tiny bit serious about the American Dream — there's something beautiful to me about all of these little stunt businesses that pop up, fill 50 or so orders, and then disappear into the Internet twilight. (Remember that one that lets you send glitter to your enemies? Although that one was technically in Australia, so that's fulfilling the Australian Dream, I guess.)


I assume that this is a stock photo, so let's all take a moment to feel for this model who probably has no idea he's on a site about putting human gas in jars. (via Send a Jart)

According to the Send a Jart site, the jart is the perfect way to get revenge: "Don't wait for an asshole to get what's coming to him or her. Step in, order a Jart and let those people know that they're smelling a fart—like it or not." The farts come in three smells: Hungover Frat Boy, 8hr Trucker, and Competitive Eater; and they're $10 a piece.

Or you could just DIY your revenge farts like the rest of us: Wait until you're in a room with the person you dislike, position yourself around enough other folks that no one can be sure who's farting, and let 'er rip.

I know it's just a grape, but this gave me the heebie-jeebies.

BuzzFeed thinks this video of a tiny robot stitching together a wounded grape is "super cute," but I think it's a little icky. Who did this to that poor grape?!

The video is an ad for the da Vinci Surgical System, which is apparently tiny robot arms useful for suturing itty-bitty fruits and, presumably, itty-bitty body parts. Like eyeballs, guys. The future is now, and if you want to look somewhere else and take a few deep breaths, I totally understand.

The BBC's Norman Smith dropped the mother of all swear words while describing UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

In case you hadn't noticed, we love news bloopers around here. The only thing better than watching a well-dressed, snooty journalist looking like a fool on live TV is preserving that moment on YouTube so millions of people can watch it over and over for all time.

This clip in particular is sure to be remembered as a classic. It has all the elements: a stodgy BBC news reader, a story about a controversial political figure, a sudden slip of the tongue, and the worst swear word you can say on TV. To be fair to the BBC's Norman Smith, he recovers admirably and soldiers on, but you can still see the mortification behind his eyes. And we love him for it.

It's fight or flight, and they both go for flight.

There's seemingly not much context for this clip that showed up on Reddit, but you absolutely don't need any. It's a perfect little moment that makes having cameras everywhere worth it. Although, a part of me hopes this is some viral teaser trailer for a new movie where bears and humans scare each other for 90 minutes.

5 things I should probably stop doing at the age of 35.

1. Using farts to get attention.

It's sad enough that I require the amount of attention I generally seek. It's even more pathetic the frequency with which I use farting to attract it. Unfortunately my fiancé bears the brunt of this vice. She's a trooper and doesn't get too upset unless I cross a certain threshold of smell. Then I get hit. A lot. During this justified thrashing, I'm usually laughing like a mad man in celebration of the fact that I used my butt to make someone I care about unhappy. I also try to get attention by recounting tales of farts past if they are particularly noteworthy. As a matter of fact, I'm doing it right now.


2. Using the same alarm clock from my childhood bedroom.

This gem of early 90s technology still works and has somehow survived multiple moves. It's a brand I've never heard of and all the buttons are kinda sticky. I bet they make alarm clocks that do cool new stuff these days, don't they? Hotel alarm clocks always seem pretty fancy. Using the fancy alarm clock is one of the things I always look forward to on vacation. How much is a new alarm clock—seven, eight bucks? I really have no idea. I haven't attempted to buy one in over twenty years.


3. Relying on spell check to spell simple words.

Coliseum, unacceptable, inexplicably: these are just a few examples of common words I struggle with. I string together enough correct letters that spell check figures out my original intention. Sometimes I fail to achieve even that much. Did you know that "buetaful" is not close enough to the word "beautiful" for spell check to have any clue what you're talking about? On the rare occasions I type a word with more than two syllables and a red line doesn't appear under it, it catches me off guard. It gives me a momentary sense of unwarranted pride and accomplishment. No, I did not spell "accomplishment" correctly on the first try.


4. Paying money to see new Spiderman movies.

They're not good and I don't enjoy them. I really enjoyed the first one with Toby McGuire and I've had a problem ever since. I remain optimistically hopeful that we live in world that is still capable of creating a pleasant Spiderman experience. Why I invest such energy into these thoughts, I can not explain. And other people enable me. I read reviews or talk to friends and hear "actually this one isn't that bad." I bite every time, and two hours later I have a regrettable ticket stub in my pocket. I should be able to avoid such errors by simply reminding myself I have more sophisticated taste than a toddler watching movies on a DVD player built into a mini van.


5. Arguing that Bush was a good band.


(via Wikimedia Commons/IToo Good)

I'm starting to realize that maybe Bush wasn't as good of a band as I remember. Perhaps I shouldn't be proud of the fact that I've seen them live five times over the course of three different tours. I'm working on accepting that while "Glycerine" is still an unoffensive ballad, the rest of their catalog is a bit rough after all these years. I can still tolerate "Machinehead" if and only if I'm at a football game, but I can no longer listen to "Greedy Fly" with same level of joy it once provided. I'm sorry "Razorblade Suitcase," I'm finished pretending you ever made any sense or offered any value to society.

Either that or he swallowed a didgeridoo.

Meet Merlin, a very happy cat.

The best way Merlin knows how to express that everything is just amazing is to make a sound like banana peel stuck in a garbage disposal. Merlin's purr has been measured at between 75 and 80 decibels, which makes him possibly the loudest purrer in the world.

It hasn't been confirmed with the Guinness people yet, but once Merlin hears the news, I bet I know what he's going to do.

This song is super catchy, even when it's about superheroes.

I have to say, I'm kind of mad at myself right now. Marvel Studio's Avengers: Age of Ultron and Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" have both been inescapable items of pop culture for several months now. And yet, somehow it never occurred to me that we'd eventually be getting a Weird Al-style "Ultron Funk" parody video. How did I not see this coming? It's so obvious. I'm scared.

I think I need to go back to Internet school and take a refresher course.

I don't know what this parrot is up to, but I don't like it.

I've sent this video of a parrot to the local police, the state police, the FBI, the Department of Justice, Interpol and three different people named Bruce Wayne from the phone book. So far, no response from any of them. So, I turn to you, good people of the Internet—help me keep an eye on this bird. Sure, he hasn't done anything yet, but nobody capable of laughing that maniacally can be completely innocent.

Mock me now, but you'll be singing a different tune when the world's cracker supply suddenly vanishes next week.


A fifth-grader grabbed a school security guard's gun, because having armed guards in school is dumb.

$

The student only held the gun for a few seconds, but it had repercussions for both of them.

Here's a surprise: it turns out that when you pay people to bring guns into schools, kids can get their hands on guns. That's what happened this week at Varennes Elementary School in Anderson, South Carolina. An armed guard was sitting on a bench, talking to a student, when the fifth-grader on his other side slipped his gun out of his holster without him noticing. The child held the gun for as long as ten seconds before the guard took it back, long enough for the incident to get back to school administrators.

The student was disciplined and the guard was replaced, but parents are still up in arms. They want to know what's being done to make sure this doesn't happen again, and the school doesn't have much of an answer.

The guard worked for Defender Security, a private company. Anderson schools started using Defender in the last year, because their guards are mostly ex-military or law enforcement, and because they're much less expensive to employ than the active duty officers used by other schools in the area. Now, it seems like there's a good reason for that.

The real question, at least to me, is why all these schools feel the need for armed security forces patrolling the halls. Apart from the message that it sends students (that they're in a prison for children), it seems ludicrous to think that children would be safer by surrounding them with guns. What's more, the screening process for private security guards is much lower than that for law enforcement officers. In some states, guards basically just have to provide their own gun.

I'm sure people will disagree with me, and I'm no expert, but I remember being in fifth grade. I felt like I was in enough danger on a day-to-day basis without seeing guns in the halls all the time. And if a dangerous intruder had walked into the school, I still wouldn't have wanted armed guards there. Obviously it's very easy to take their guns away.

This baby hates avocado as much as you love it.

She's like "Oh HELLL no."

It's so weird to meet someone who doesn't like avocado. It's one of the most universally beloved foods, and it's healthy too. But none of that matters to baby Autumn, who reacts to the taste like her parents are asking her to borrow money.

Maybe she'll grow into it. After all, like her mom says, it's very good for her brain. If she eats enough, she could become so smart that she realizes she doesn't have to eat what she doesn't want to. Then it'll be candy all day, every day.
