The award show recognizes the industry’s most hard working animal actors. And my, didn’t they look fabulous on that red carpet:

Dad jokes are the stuff of legend. In fact, a few years ago, Nickelodeon Australia sent out a fake PSA warning about the risks of the groan-inducing one-liners, face-palm worthy quips, and quasi-painful puns. That’s right: bad jokes by the people we love are a nearly-universal phenomenon.
That said, turnabout is fair play, so when a Twitter user suggested that people prank their dads, by sending them photos that made it look like they had put olive oil in their cars instead of motor oil, people happily joined in the fun.
Sometimes we need to hear hard truths and that’s precisely what TikTok users are doing with the search engine’s translation function to tell it like it is.
These hilarious, customized Google Translate meme videos say everything people need to hear right now.
“Plenty of people have trouble spelling the word necessary,” one meme reads.
“Google translate really came at me like that,” another user captioned her video, which informs her in no uncertain terms just how low her bank account is.
Suzan-Lori Parks is a quadruple threat.

The selection of Pulse, a gay Orlando nightclub, as the site for a murderous homophobic rampage makes the killer’s crime a special outrage in view of the role that nightclubs have played in this nation’s LGBTQ history.
Like many popular LGTBQ clubs, Pulse serves not only as a welcoming place to party, but also as a community partner, hosting a variety of social and educational events including, for example, Breast Cancer Awareness and HIV/AIDS prevention.

The great irony of Rihanna’s long-awaited, years-in-the-making album Anti, which finally arrived on Tidal on Wednesday evening, is this: for most of the Barbadian pop star’s career, her albums were hardly something people hungered for. They arrived like clockwork almost every year, usually in November, to the point that by 2012, the last time she released a record, her fans (and perhaps even her advisers) were suggesting she slow down and take a break.
This weekend in a rapidly escalating series of events, a group of Russian mercenaries forcibly overtook the southeastern city of Rostov-on-Don and came close to conflict in Moscow, before retreating thanks to a Belarusian-brokered deal. The mercenaries belonged to the infamous Wagner Group, founded and led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, and have been some of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s greatest tools in the war to take Ukraine over the past 16 months since the invasion.
After bringing to life the elite magical soldiers known as Grisha in her best-selling Shadow and Bone trilogy, Leigh Bardugo upped the ante in her much-beloved Grishaverse novels by introducing a whole new cast of characters. The result was Six of Crows, the 2015 debut installment of a duology that’s part heist thriller, part fantasy epic, part revenge saga and part bittersweet teen romance. The story opens in the notorious slums of Ketterdam, where 17-year-old Kaz “Dirtyhands” Brekker has risen through the ranks of the city’s corrupt underworld to gain a reputation as a criminal prodigy willing to do any job.
