Tard the Grumpy Cat is freaking everywhere. You may as well go with it and put her on all your clothing – including your shorts. iLoveToCreate contributor Suzie Shinseki has transformed a pair of denim shorts so that Grumpy Cat’s unhappy eyes stare out the back pockets. It just takes some bleach, some paint, and time to complete the transformation. Tard won’t approve of the finished product, but everyone else will.

The August issue of Texas Monthly carries an ultimately amusing feature about the Sierra Blanca inspection station, an infamous U.S. Customs and Border Protection road stop that's ensnared a number of high-profile musicians, including Willie Nelson, Fiona Apple, Nelly, and Snoop Dogg. The Hollywood Reporter once referred to it as “the checkpoint of no return.”

Bad news: you've been making a horse's ass of yourself for your entire life. The good news is you can read this post, learn the correct, fantastically pretentious way to properly pronounce many typefaces, and then re-enter society.

Our universe appears to be bound by a finite set of laws, yet we often talk about things that go on for an eternity. "Infinity" is a strange idea. But it's crucial if you want to understand anything from philosophy to mathematics. Here’s why.

Meghan Stratman does wonders with paper!

Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ comic Saga is full of visually striking and memorable characters. Freelance bounty hunter The Stalk is one of them. You’d think she’d be impossible to cosplay what with her uh, interesting features, but Redditor Ohlyssa nailed it. She won a Saga costume contest with this outfit, and it’s easy to see why. I’m thoroughly impressed and a little scared.

For some people, attending San Diego Comic-Con (or any convention) is all about the costumes. Kira and her friends take cosplay seriously – they did three big group cosplays for the convention! Wrangling that many people and that many outfits is a huge challenge, and I can’t believe they did it three times.

They dressed as Star Wars Superheroes (pictured above). Libby P. had the idea and did most of the construction on the Slave Leia-superhero outfits. They also created a wonderful steampunk Wizard of Oz group and post-apocalyptic Disney characters. The costumes are all first class, and each of them deserves an endurance medal. The cosplayers involved include:

Kira B (Dorothy, Esmeralda, The Incredible Hulk Leia)
Christy Z (Glinda, Ariel, Batman Leia)
Libby P (Wicked Witch of the West, Jasmine, Iron Man Leia)
Megan M (Scarecrow, Snow White, Spider-Man Leia)
Katey D (Tin Lady, Pocahontas, Thor Leia)
Angie O (Cowardly Lion, Belle, Superman Leia)
Laura A (Tinkerbell)
Lauren P (Rapunzel)
Hannah K (Wolverine Leia)
Jason P (Deadpool Han Solo)

See the steampunk Wizard of Oz and post-apocalyptic Disney group photos after the break.

Sir Patrick Stewart is a consummate actor whose professionalism is beyond reproach.... except when Sir Patrick Stewart isn't, because Sir Patrick Stewart can't remember his damn lines. As you might guess, this blooper reel — more of which will be on the Star Trek: TNG season 4 set released tomorrow — features the latter.

Data may grapple with the nuances of human emotion, but I think it’s obvious he cares for his cat Spot. The android and the kitty are a cute pair, and I can’t believe I haven’t seen more t-shirts celebrating their relationship. This design capturing Data’s instructions to Worf on taking care of Spot is just freaking perfect. Check that out after the break.
