You may have heard that BuzzFeed recently landed $50 million in venture capital, with which it hopes to transcend its long-time status as a “content laboratory” for shareable listicles, strange quizzes and LOL-worthy videos. Earlier this year, however, the viral news website went with a much cheaper strategy: Permanently erasing thousands of specious, staff-written posts. Last month, we noted that
Orlando Shooter Was Reportedly a Regular at Pulse and Had a Profile on Gay Dating App Early Sunday morning, Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, perpetrating the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Mateen, his father explained the next day, had repeatedly been angered by the sight of two men kissing. But according to witnesses, Mateen was also a regular at the
Photos: Getty and APPeter Thiel, Nearly a decade ago, after you had opened up to friends and colleagues, a gay writer for Gawker shared an item with the readers of Valleywag, a section for news and gossip about the rich and powerful of Silicon Valley. “Peter Thiel, the smartest VC in the world, is gay,” wrote Owen Thomas. “More power to him.” And more power did indeed come to you. Your investments
Facebook Messenger is the single most popular app in the entire iTunes store. Millions of people now use it on their phones instead of SMS, which means that millions of people have been letting Facebook tap their exact locations whenever they chat. Who needs the NSA? Aran Khanna, an incoming Facebook intern (!), combed his Facebook Messenger account and was startled by how much exact GPS data the
Here Are the Internal Documents that Prove Uber Is a Money Loser Uber, Silicon Valley’s prized amoral unicorn, is presumed to be a financial titan and a sure-thing IPO in the near future. Which may be true. But one thing that’s frequently missing from the conversation about its inevitable dominance over virtually every facet of our lives is the answer to a fundamental question: Does it make money?
Americans love to curse, no fucking question. Fuck this, fuck that, bitchass motherfucking cuntsucker jerk titslut, etc., etc. The question is, which of these bad-boy words are favored where? Who says “fuck” the most? Who says “asshole” the least? Is there a “shit” belt? (As it turns out, yes: From New York City down to the Gulf Coast.) Jack Grieve, a professor in Forensic Linguistics at Aston Uni
Wikipedia's Greatest Sex Illustrator Is an Anonymous Legend: Seedfeeder Take a look at the Wikipedia page for fisting. I'll wait. OK. Now check out pegging. When you're done there, have a gander at gokkun; after that, deep throating; and then maybe mammary intercourse, frot, tribadism, and tea bag (sexual act). Those with a taste for the kinky are encouraged to check out gonzo pornography, and tho
This Topless Photo of Keira Knightley Came With a No-Photoshop Clause Actress Keira Knightley agreed to pose topless for an Interview magazine feature on one condition: She didn't want her body modified with Photoshop. After her unedited shoot with fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier hit newsstands, Knightley explained to the Times, I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so
I Can't Stop Listening to Babymetal, the World's Heaviest Teen Pop Band On Wednesday, the Japanese heavy metal/teen-pop hybrid band Babymetal played a nearly sold-out show at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. I didn't go, and after watching a few of their videos this morning, I'm really, really regretting it. Try to watch the clip for "Megitsune," their second single, without grinning. I dare
NPR data journalist Matt Stiles recently posted this informative infographic of the most common birth dates in the United States. It was constructed using data compiled by Harvery Kennedy School professor of public policy Amitabh Chandra, and later published in the New York Times. Chandra's table relies exclusively on birth date figures from 1973 to 1999. A couple of fun facts: The most popular bi
In the 1930s, the Nazi party began issuing propaganda featuring the image of a "perfect Aryan" child. If you were looking to build a master race of adorable white people, you could do a lot worse: Hessy Taft, the model, had round eyes, a charmingly surprised expression, and a perfectly tousled tuft of dark hair on her head. She was also Jewish. Taft, now a chemistry professor in New York, recently
What does George W. Bush like to paint? Himself, nude, in the bath and shower, obviously. But also: dogs. Lots of dogs. Over 50 dogs! This is according to Bonnie Floor, a Georgia artist who tells Fox 5 Atlanta that she spent a month in Boca Raton teaching the president to paint: "He started off painting dogs. I think he said he painted 50 dogs," Flood said. "He pulled out this canvas and started p
It certainly says something about the state of Hollywood today that a three minute ad produced at a fraction of the cost of most movies is more moving and poignant than almost anything the big studios have to offer. The Thai telecommunications conglomerate True is getting rave reviews worldwide for its latest spot, "Giving," which tells the story of a man unexpectedly rewarded for a lifetime of go
Driver of Derailed Train Boasted on Facebook About Going Really Fast One of the two men at the helm of the Spanish train that derailed yesterday reportedly posted photos of his train's speedometer on Facebook to boast about going as fast as he could go. Francisco José Garzón Amo was in custody at the hospital where he is recovering from minor injuries sustained during the accident that claimed the
Medievalist Emir O. Filipovic was flipping through fifteenth century manuscripts at the State Archives in Dubrovnik, Croatia — your average light reading — when he came across something rather remarkable on one of the pages: Feline paw prints. Filipovic's discovery lay dormant until it was picked up by book historian Erik Kwakkel, who was in turn brought to the attention of the public by "America'
Is This Smoking Hot Japanese Model to Blame for the Boeing Dreamliner's Overheating Battery Problem? Yes As Boeing scrambles to figure out why the lithium-ion batteries in their 787 Dreamliners keep starting fires, the residents of Japan already know exactly who the culprit is. That's right — who. It seems Japanese fashion idol Aki Higashihara, AKA Death Blog Lady, has struck again. According to K
'It Makes Me Sick': Actress in Muhammed Movie Says She Was Deceived, Had No Idea It Was About Islam The story of the Muhammed movie which sparked deadly protests in Libya and Egypt gets weirder. The actors who appeared in it had no idea they were starring in anti-Islam propaganda which depicts Muhammed as a child molester and thug. They were deceived by the film's director, believing they were app
Do These Unbelievably Horrifying Photos Show the Miami Cannibal's Victim? These two really, unbelievably gruesome photos, allegedly of the Miami man whose face was partially eaten off over Memorial Day weekend, have been circulating around the internet, because the sight of rended flesh is a visceral reminder of the unbearably thin dividing line between life and death, and also because they're rea
If only we could have sat in on the meeting where the marketing team for this Osaka department store came up with the idea for their "Fuckin' Sale," spotted early this month by a reader of Jake Adelstein's Japan Subculture blog. -There should be some cool English words on these signs. -How about "Fuckin' Sale?" -What's that mean? -Fuckin' means, like, really good. So it's a really good sale. -And
Steve Jobs's black turtlenecks helped make him the world's most recognizable CEO. But the Apple co-founder wouldn't have worn them if his employees had accepted the nylon jacket he proposed as a corporate uniform instead. Before he died, Jobs himself explained his sartorial signature to biographer Walter Isaacson, in an interview published for the first time below. Today, Jobs' fashion choices loo
In the days after Steve Jobs' death, friends and colleagues have, in customary fashion, been sharing their fondest memories of the Apple co-founder. He's been hailed as "a genius" and "the greatest CEO of his generation" by pundits and tech journalists. But a great man's reputation can withstand a full accounting. And, truth be told, Jobs could be terrible to people, and his impact on the world wa
Julian Assange Accidentally Uploaded His Secret Files to the Internet People inadvertently put things on the internet they don't want revealed all the time. But you'd think Julian Assange would avoid such an amateur mistake. Not so: He accidentally uploaded all of his precious State Department cables, unredacted, to the internet. Assange and Wikileaks have made much of the fact that they worked wi
GCreep: Google Engineer Stalked Teens, Spied on Chats (Updated) We entrust Google with our most private communications because we assume the company takes every precaution to safeguard our data. It doesn't. A Google engineer spied on four underage teens for months before the company was notified of the abuses. David Barksdale, a 27-year-old former Google engineer, repeatedly took advantage of his
Stupid California Police Warn Parents of Pedobear, the 'Pedophile Mascot' (Updated) [There was a video here] Pedobear is a meme featuring a cute cartoon bear who pops up wherever people are being creepy about kids on the Internet. Cops in California don't understand this, and have issued a hilarious warning about Pedobear. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department, who can't be bothered to l
Apparently Google's drivers sometimes forget they're driving around with pole-mounted cameras on their car roofs. That's the likeliest explanation for why one of the internet giant's vehicles slammed into a low bridge outside Pittsburgh. It was in the process of driving around and taking pictures for the Street View feature on Google Maps and Google Earth; hence, the crash has been preserved on Go
The Bloomberg financial newswire decided to update its 17-page Steve Jobs obituary today — and inadvertently published it in the process. Some investors were undoubtedly rattled to see, as our tipster did late this afternoon, the Apple CEO's obit cross the wire and then suddenly disappear. Jobs's battle with pancreatic cancer, and speculation over his health, jarred Wall Street earlier this year a
No, Lizzie Grubman's still alive. This is an actual monster, some sort of rodent-like creature with a dinosaur beak. A tipster says that there is "a government animal testing facility very close by in Long Island," but unless the government is trying to design horrible Montauk monsters that will eat IEDs and fart fire at bad Iraqis, we're not sure why they would create such an unthinkable beast.
