On New Year's Day, Kanye West released "Only One," a piano ballad written and performed in collaboration with Paul McCartney. Yeezus pairing up with the most genial Beatle was exciting if a little befuddling, and several people took to Twitter to make the same joke at Sir Paul's expense. Good Morning America didn't get it.

It's 2015, and your friends are sharing that block of pseudo-legal gibberish that supposedly prevents Facebook from using their "copyrighted content." This copyright notice means exactly the same thing it did when they posted it in 2012, 2013, and 2014: jack shit.

It's barely been three weeks since the trailer for the forthcoming Entourage movie premiered right before our thirsty eyes, but it's already raised many important questions: Will Vinny make the movie? Will Turtle get to fuck female MMA champion Ronda Rousey? Will Ari's heart finally explode from an anger-related spaz attack? But the most essential question of them all has thus far remained unanswered: Will the Entourage movie be epic, or dope? We've done a deep dive on the data to find out.

Facebook multi-millionaire Chris Hughes is the 31-year-old patron of The New Republic.

Bodybuilders are notorious for not being able to agree on a single damn thing—their workouts are right, yours is always wrong—but you'd think they'd be able to reach a consensus on how many days there are in a week, which is 7.

Much like America, Congress–which tomorrow returns to whatever it is they do–is a picture of racial progress. Just kidding! It's still mostly run by a bunch of white, Jesus-loving men in bad suits.

Jim Huish, of the band Amber Drive, is arguably the most excited man on this mortal coil for the release of Pitch Perfect 2. He performed that stupid "Cups" song routine ("performance"? "parlor trick"?) with guns for no apparent reason other than that he could.

With oil prices cheap again, the case for a carbon tax "has become overwhelming," because it's now more affordable and it would help us avoid using tons of oil now that it's so cheap. So do it already, political idiot people.

Is this photo, which surfaced mysteriously online Monday and was immediately employed by the Pro Era rap crew to promote their official merchandise on Instagram, in fact a photo of Malia Obama, or just a very very very close doppelgänger?

On January 2, a man in Wisconsin shot a deer with a bow and arrow. But did this deer—a doe—just roll over and die? Did she give up? No, she did not. Instead she attacked the 72-year-old and sent his old ass to the hospital.

A Florida dad taught parents in the state last week that it's fine to spank your kids, as long as you call the cops to oversee it.
