Grayson Dobra, 2, celebrated his birthday this year with a theme party. The theme wasn’t Bob the Builder or whatever dumb shit two-year-olds like these days. Instead, it was organized around Dobra’s hero: New Orleans personal injury lawyer Morris Bart. This boy has his priorities straight.

It's midday and your eyes are glazed over from the project that you just can't finish. You hop online, thinking that some social media time might clear your head. This only makes things worse. Instead of cute animal photos, you stumble upon arguments about vaccines or guns or both. You...
Puerto Rican artist Alexis Diaz (previously) brings textures and patterns reminiscent of traditional engraving techniques to his murals of phantasmagorical creatures using only a paintbrush. Twisting tentacles, strange fusions of anatomy, beings wrapped in plants, all rendered atop colorful gradients create an unmistakable style Diaz has become famous for. You can see much more of his work here. (via Cross Connect)

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. There are few directors like Stanley Kubrick so we have to appreciate all that he’s left us with. This video montage by CutPrintFilm puts together various tracking shots (or shots meant to look like tracking shots) from Kubrick films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange And Eyes Wide Shut.

We’ve seen all kinds ofportable retro game consoles over the years, but Thingiverse user Jooxoe3i’s project manages to make the smallest device we’ve seen yet using a Raspberry Pi.
The coolest Entrepreneur Deniz Kosan created Walter’s Coffee Roastery It is the world’s first Coffee Super Lab, opened in March 29th, 2015 in Moda, Kadikoy, Istanbul. He designed it inspired by his favorite TV series Breaking Bad and.
Deniz has a cousin who looks just like Walter White; he has glasses, bald head, mustache, and goatee. He is called Heisenberg. He came up with a name for a coffee lab: Walter’s Coffee.
They realized there is a lack of originality in food and beverage industry, so they built a coffee shop based on a chemical lab. There is no official usage of name, logo, commercial things, brand etc. They just have similar things that every Breaking Bad fan love.
“We are still friends and working into doing something together, but that’s not going to be [Silent Hills].”In an interview with IGN, film director and producer Guillermo del Toro expresses his desire to keep working with Metal Gear designer Hideo Kojima after Konami’s cancellation of their project, Silent Hills.
Hot Toys makes some of the most realistic collectible figures you can buy. If you’ve ever wondered about its process—or even how to get a job there—watch this video.
If Jon Snow had Katniss Everdeen on his case rather than a lovesick Ygritte, something tells us those arrows would’ve found their way into his heart much, much sooner. Especially because in this Game of Thrones meets The Hunger Games mash-up, Lord Commander Snow is the one wrecking havoc on the poor, poor districts of Panem. NOT COOL, JON SNOW. Not cool!
The whole thing works because, well, President Snow and Jon Snow have the same surname (wait, is President Snow also a bastard of the North? Maybe a Bolton? Because that would explain a lot). And it has the bonus of both properties having some shared characters: namely Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth/Commander Lyme) and Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell/Cressida Bonas) in them.
Although we do have a bone to pick with the video, and will say this: if Jon Snow were the President of Panem that whole Hunger Games thing totally wouldn’t have happened. Because even though he knows nothing, he does know a thing or two about compassion when it comes to leading—even if other people won’t listen to him (sigh).
Anyone else dreaming of a fandom mash-up wherein Jon Snow and Katniss Everdeen get married and rule the world? Or has that already been created in some fan fiction we don’t know about? Either way, let us know in the comments below.
