Who has time to watch all the movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars just to keep up with pop culture? For the record, that's 17 hours and 29 minutes that could be spent aimlessly surfing the internet. If you want to stay relevant with your cinephile friends that badly, these honest posters are all you need.

What are these glorious golden space swirls? According to NASA, who captured this video with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), this happened when a dark solar filament erupted and caused a chain reaction.They call these cascading magnetic arches because what you see here is a lot of particles spinning around the sun's magnetic field lines.
Here's a video where you can see what a dark solar filament looks like. The darker area, almost in the shape of a circle is it. Filaments are plasma held above the sun's surface by magnetic forces.

Bill is a smart, caring stickman with a fashionable hat and a head full of common sense. He's the Facebook friend you won't have to block after seeing one too many vague posts that may or may not be about you. Some people, (apparently people who are not like Bill) dislike this passive aggressive meme.

Actress Vivian Rubio replied to a Craigslist acting gig that she thought sounded fun, only to discover "RiskyRobTV" was shooting a "prank" video exposing Miami women as gold diggers. Frustrated with the premise, Rubio decided to go undercover and expose his falsehood. The best part? He at one point tells her he's going to blur her face, otherwise "people would be like 'oh, Risky Rob stages pranks now.'"
Here's the video they were shooting:

Adam Driver hosted Saturday Night Live this week and went Undercover as Kylo Ren pretending to be a radar technician at Starkiller Base. Turns out the young king of emo has pretty great comedic timing.

If you stepped outside your mid-January, Netflix-addled cave recently you probably heard something about Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, and his devastating botched attempt at taking home the W last weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. To put it lightly, it was an unanticipated moment of sheer unfettered insanity.
A 27-yard-attempt miss. Nobody saw that coming. Check out this absurd compilation of fan reactions from both ends of the spectrum:
Anyways following all that madness, a first-grade class wrote a collection of encourage letters to Blair Walsh to cheer the saddened soul up. He responded in pretty much the best and most gracious way possible by visiting the kids today at Northpoint Elementary School in Blaine, Minnesota.

The children passed along advice in their letters like, 'you are handsome,' and 'everyone makes mistakes sometimes. One time I made a mistake when I was doing a cartwheel.'
Cartwheels are tough as fu*k though, so totally understand on that account. Suffice to say, all parties involved were feeling seven kinds of thankful. Keep your head up Walsh!
"For them to show this empathy and kindness towards me is remarkable." - @BlairWalsh3
