Well there’s a headline we never saw coming! How often do you get to talk about alien existence and the president commenting on them? It’s one thing when a celebrity comments on alien existence; lord bless Dan Aykroyd but he doesn’t exactly radiate authority like a president does. So, when President Barack Obama recently stated on a podcast that aliens are real, it elicited a LOT of reaction. Here’s what he said. The former president appeared on a podcast by Brian Tyler Cohen and was asked “Are aliens real?” His response, “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them.” He then…

Scandals and accusations of cheating are nothing new to the Olympics. For decades there have been allegations of corrupt judges, doping, other drugs, abuse, and entire countries finding ways to cheat. But if there was one sport in the event line-up that we thought was relatively scandal free, it was curling. It looks like we were wrong. Curling is where someone tosses a rock across the ice while people wipe the ice in front pathway with brooms. It’s actually a highly strategic and exacting sport where the slightest movement and variation in the ice can dramatically impact the way a…

Last month we had the opportunity to report on NBC ordering a pilot for a reboot of “The Rockford Files.” It definitely wasn’t on our radar. Of all the possible shows to add to a network’s primetime line-up, “The Rockford Files” is a surprise. That’s not a slight against the original series at all either. In fact it’s because that show was so perfect that a reboot seemed like a superfluous idea. But we’re not network executives, so what do we know? We do know that it’s going to take big shoes to fill in the role of the show’s…

Pigeons, the seagull’s better natured cousin. Depending on where in the country you live, you might find the pigeon to be a pest, or an adorable feathered puffball. It’s actually kind of funny; did you know doves and pigeons are effectively the same animals? Yeah, that’s right, scientifically those terms are interchangeable. So, if you take that into consideration, don’t you want a giant stuffed and squishy pigeon (dove)? Squishable is a company that pretty much delivers exactly what its name suggests; squishable awesomeness in plush form. They have a variety of animals and critters you can peruse. Their plushies…

Sleep and comfort are two things that are very tied together and also very elusive. It can be hard to find either of them at times, especially when the latter often requires the former. People have a number of tricks they can try to employ to get comfortable enough to sleep and various aides like weighted blankets and body pillows can help with this. But let’s say you wanted a more… unique body pillow. Something that’s a bit more, “a-peal-ing” than usual? Then we’ve got just the thing for you. You NEED this Banana Pillow! This is a banana body…

Oh Valentine’ Day. There are so many songs about love; indeed it may be the one subject that has more songs written about it than any other. Unless you’re Talking Heads that is, in which case there’s only one song that gets sung to a lamp in a live setting, according to David Byrne. But anyway, we wanted to bring you five songs that fit Valentine’s Day by actually having the word “valentine” in the title, but you may find out that most of them aren’t very happy. David Bowie – “Valentine’s Day” It’s hard to believe that its been…

If you missed Sony’s latest State of Play earlier this week, you missed out on a lot of content ranging from, “Oh that’s interesting” to, “So that’s a game, then?” But we’d like to take a moment to shed some light on one of the bigger highlights of the presentation, Konami. The once legendary gaming developer has had some intense ups and downs over the last decade and a half or so, and there presence at the “State of Play” shows they are coming back in a big way. To understand why their announcements were so big, we need to…

It has not been an easy start to 2026. We’ve already had upheavals in the socio-political world, bad movies, and untimely celebrity passings. And while we can’t ignore the sad and the unfortunate when they happen, we do want to try to boost your spirits too with things that are fun, cute, and educational. That’s why we bring you, BATS! Yes, the flying rodents that some people are absolutely terrified of but are actually adorable little furry faces who eat mosquitos. Maybe you don’t think they’re adorable (you’re wrong), but the science of bats is amazing and we’re continuing to…

It’s very safe to say no one expected “KPop Demon Hunters” to blow up as big as it did. Even the people at Sony who produced the film didn’t, otherwise they wouldn’t have sold it to Netflix. Merchandise for the film has been hot, whether it be the soundtrack, Halloween costumes, or figures. Speaking of the latter, if you’re in the market for some super high-quality ones, Sideshow Collectables has unveiled the Hot Toys “Kpop Demon Hunters” line. If you’re not familiar with the company, Sideshow distributes a number of collectibles from big franchises including juggernauts Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter,…

1996 was one hell of a year for video games. It was the year the Nintendo 64 dropped. Super Mario 64 redefined gaming in a 3D environment. It was also the same year that brought us “Resident Evil,” the Japanese debut of “Pokémon,” and “Crash Bandicoot.” It also just so happened to be the year the world was introduced to one of the most famous female characters in gaming, Lara Croft. Yes, it was 30 years ago that “Tomb Raider” debuted, and the franchise plans to celebrate in style. “Tomb Raider” holds an interesting place in the gaming landscape. By…
