Although the COVID-19 pandemic is finally starting to see a lowering of cases in the United States, that is not the case for the rest of the world. Countries like India are suffering terribly. And they now need our help more than ever. One of the many efforts to raise funds for victims of the pandemic is
The Foo Fighters, one of the headliners, had not performed on stage together in a year and a half. To make the event even more special, the band had a big surprise for the crowd. You can say they dropped the proverbial mic. Via
Star Trek. He was a celebrated stage actor and director of many successful films like
Three Men and a Baby. But he would also willingly cash in on his good name as a sci-fi icon to sell consumer products from time to time. Case in point, this 1981 extended commercial for the brand new Magnavox LaserDisc player. This vintage video, which comes to us via
Laughing Squid, shows Nimoy interacting with a glowing, chirping space rock. We’re guessing this was Maganvox’s substitution for an R2-D2.
Nimoy is in full Spock mode in this video, minus the trademarked pointed ears, of course. His inquisitive reactions to watching an ABBA disc are very Vulcan-esque.

A Redditor named Yamaha234 recently shared a photograph of what his in-laws discovered in their home after they ripped up the old carpet. Underneath it was a rather large
Monopoly board, completely hand-painted. Park Place, the Boardwalk, jail, they are all there. You can see a photo of the massive

This one’s not too much of a thinker. The Oregon Zoo has posted a video of three of its rescued river otters in the heat of play. (We first found the video over at
Laughing Squid.) If you like otters, and you don’t have any particular issue with ice cubes, you’ll enjoy the show.
The otters in question go by the names Tilly, Flora, and Hobson. Though, now that I give it some thought, I don’t know if otters are capable of name recognition. Dogs are, of course; and a couple years back, new studies suggested that cats know, but simply don’t care about, their own names. But otters? Cursory internet searches prove unhelpful. Now this will haunt me until the day I die. Or until the day I successfully grab an otter’s attention by shouting, “Hey, Sal!”

Even under normal circumstances we all need to mentally get away sometimes. Of course, none of us have been living under anything close to normal for more than a year. So we can really use a little break from the stress of everyday life at the moment. We’ve tried by watching a million movies and TV shows. As well as by reading, playing games, or doing other hobbies a million times. We’ve even tried closing our eyes and visualizing a far away place. But now there’s even easier, more beautiful way to transport somewhere else. Take a journey to the edge of the world by losing yourself in this relaxing ultra high definition two hour ambient video tour of Antarctica.
