Y’all hear about this?..
Netflix was down for thousands of users last night. After hours of panic, the company explained that they were simply running maintenance to make all dialogue on the platform even more difficult to hear. Luckily they’ve also installed a feature that makes subtitles the size of your screen and appear one word at a time.
More tenants than ever spend half or more of their income for shelter. And it’s inspired a new catchphrase from Jeff Foxworthy:
A ‘Paddington’ musical is in the works. Or, at least that’s what the producers of the failed Cocaine Bear: The Musical want us to think once they find the right red hat.
A dramatic study found that wasabi is a big boost for memory. Damn. Bet anyone eating sushi on 9/11 wishes they could forget.
Finally…
A man who flew into the U.S. without a ticket or passport claims he doesn’t know how. Security footage of him tiptoeing through the airport in a green screen suit says otherwise.
