A man in a wheelchair detonated a homemade bomb at Beijing Capital International Airport early this morning, injuring only himself.

Helen Thomas, whose long run as part of the White House press corps earned her the unofficial title of its "dean", has died at the age of 92.

In case you needed to be told again, DO NOT SWIM IN THE HUDSON RIVER. DO NOT EAT THINGS YOU FIND IN THE HUDSON RIVER. If you can afford a jetski, take it to somewhere other than the Hudson River. The Hudson River is filled with raw sewage and is teeming with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Nate Silver, the statistics whiz whose political projections kept millions of Democrats from completely losing their shit during the 2012 election cycle, is leaving the New York Times for ESPN.

A Norwegian woman in Dubai who reported to police an alleged rape in March has been sentenced to 16 months in jail for having extramarital sex.

That is to say, it was cause your blown mind to leak through your tear ducts.

Welcome to Annotate This, where we gather reviews, trailers, and annotate the posters for movies coming out this week. It will help you decide what to avoid, what to see, and what to pretend to see. Click on the image above to add your comments to the mix. Guess what? The heat wave has ostensibly made movie reviews super grumpy and also creative with their reviews!

As Kate Middleton regrets more and more her decision 9 months ago to prank the world by claiming to be pregnant, the caravan of international media camped outside her hospital inches ever closer to delirium. Earlier this week, some news services began offering live-streaming video of the hospital doors through which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may or may not pass when Kate Middleton gives birth. The result: 20 hours a day of a still shot of windows (sometimes a street shot of doors) and some of the best eavesdropping currently available on the Internet.

Andrew Bujalski's new movie takes place in the early 1980s, set at an annual convention in which programmers are working to develop a computer chess program that could win over a human chess master—an early battle of artificial intelligence versus the human spirit. Regardless of your interest in chess, computer or otherwise, Computer Chess is hilarious and marvelously entertaining.

A New York woman has been arrested for using fraudulent hospital records to pose as a Boston Marathon bombing victim and collect $480,000 from a fund for the real victims.

Unlike most Internet-famous dogs who find celebrity while still in the prime of their puppyhood, Schoep was 19 years old when he suddenly found himself swimming in Facebook likes.

When it comes to mating, shorebirds prefer a good body to a large brain, and the romantic singing of male bats can attract females in less than one second. Animals are Justin Bieber fans.

Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite recently told the New York Times that she approached her documentary Blackfish as a journalist with an open mind. The resulting film, which is about killer whales in captivity (specifically at SeaWorld and focusing on the 32-year-old orca Tilikum, who's killed three people), is nonetheless damning enough that it reads like animal liberation propaganda. We hear numerous testimonials from former SeaWorld trainers on the negative effects of keeping these giant, sensitive creatures penned. We see hidden-camera footage of SeaWorld guides feeding park guests incorrect information about orcas' lifespans and fins — the dorsal fins of captive killer routinely collapse, or flop to the side, which is rare in the wild. We see footage of brutal whale-on-human attacks. We hear nothing from SeaWorld itself.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has (finally!) gone and done it. The agency filed charges today against Steve Cohen, the audacious, art-collecting billionaire founder of SAC Capital, a $15 billion Greenwich hedge fund.

A group of schoolboys have decided to protest an administrative ban on short by wearing skirts to class.

A federal appeals court has ruled that New York Times reporter James Risen must testify in the case of Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA officer currently on trial for allegedly leaking classified information. Risen has vowed to go to jail, if necessary, to protect his sources.

Let's check in on the city of Harrisburg, the bankrupt sinkhole of despair that is the capital of the great, coal-choked state of Pennsylvania. "Hey, how's that municipal bankruptcy coming along, Harrisburg?" "Oh not bad— we're selling off our collection of Wild West artifacts. Lol, and u?"

A question that's lingered for days now that a jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin is what President Obama was going to say about the case. Though he issued a short statement immediately following the verdict, it seemed unlikely he wouldn't elaborate on a decision that's aggravated America's racial tensions more than anything in years. That said, any statement he'd make would have to be far more politically minded than much of the angry dialogue being slung back and forth this week.

It may be the heat, but this video made me laugh like a Geisteskranker.

Four elderly men were found held captive in a home in "deplorable" conditions in Houston. According to reports, the men, imprisoned for a decade, were being kept there while their captor cashed in the checks they were receiving (possibly from Social Security).
