Bookshop Finds Out They Are Rage Against The Machine Tour Date


The London Review Bookshop was intrigued to discover that they were one of the dates for an upcoming tour by Rage Against the Machine. It was an obvious mistake, but it also kind of made people think about the logistics of having a Rage concert in a bookstore.

Movie Universes That Are Much Stranger Than We Realize


What are the mutant historians like in 'Logan' or the NYC attack truthers in 'Ghostbusters' or the true-crime enthusiasts in 'The Terminator'? Movie universes are much larger than the seven people we follow during the movie, but who the heck lives there and what are they up to? "Doctor" Jordan Breeding returns to deep dive into a few cinematic universes and ring in the new year the only way he knows how.

Funniest Toddler Breakdowns That Parents Witnessed


To be a parent is to be subjected to a continual emotional rollercoaster, as you work on raising your devilish children into reasonably functional adults. The toddler phase especially is marked by a steady procession of spontaneous, and absolutely explosive emotional meltdowns. You never know what bone a toddler will have to pick with the world. Every day brings with it a new internal struggle in the life of a toddler. These toddler breakdowns are certainly something else.
