Yet Another Amazing Time-Lapse Video of New York City
Brian Moylan · 06/03/11 03:52PMAre you a filmmaker looking for a bit of attention? All you have to do is make a time-lapse video of New York. Tons of them have come along, but every time a new one rolls around, I stop and stare at the people moving quickly, the sun rising over the buildings, and the little squiggles of light trailing taxi cabs. It gets me every time.

Jim Newell · 06/03/11 03:45PM
Mitt Romney, the likely favorite among 2012 Republican presidential candidates, launched his campaign in what for him is the must-win state of New Hampshire yesterday. All the local reporters were invited. So how did the state's biggest newspaper, the Union Leader, present Romney's announcement on today's front page? Look up at the hilarious image up top!

Richard Lawson · 06/03/11 02:24PM
The Oxford Dictionaries Online has apparently added the popular internet exclamation "ZOMG" (short for Zak Orth's Mating Grounds) to its big list of words. They've also included "NSFW" (Nudie Sex Fisting Women) and "Twittersphere." Oh brother.
