This Lifeguard Has the Most Useless Job at the Olympics and the Internet Can't Get Enough of the Irony
To be fair to the person who made the decision that there needed to be 75 lifeguards keeping an eye on the world's best swimmers, concussions and other accidents do happen. That hasn't stopped the internet jokesters from commenting on a picture of a bored looking lifeguard.

Scottish Club's Keeper Swings And Misses, Leading To Really Dumb Own Goal
Here is Aberdeen’s Joe Lewis, re-enacting that embarrassing time in elementary school when the kickball pitcher served you up a duck just waiting to be crushed, but you tried so hard to kill it that you whiffed. Unfortunately for Lewis, he did it in a decisive Europa League qualifying match, meaning it won’t be forgotten by next recess:
Computational thermoforming is fun to watch
Here's a very clear video showing how to create textured 3D objects with complex shapes.
From the YouTube description:
We propose a method to fabricate textured 3D models using thermoforming. Differently from industrial techniques, which target mass production of a specific shape, we propose a combined hardware and software solution to manufacture customized, unique objects. Our method simulates the forming process and converts the texture of a given digital 3D model into a pre-distorted image that we transfer onto a plastic sheet. During thermoforming, the sheet deforms to create a faithful physical replica of the digital model. Our hardware setup uses off-the-shelf components and can be calibrated with an automatic algorithm that extracts the simulation parameters from a single calibration object produced by the same process.

You Really Don't Want To Watch Demba Ba's Super Nasty Broken Leg
We’ve seen our fair share of disgusting-looking leg injuries, but watching Demba Ba’s heretofore straight shin turn into the letter Z in a Shangai Shenhua-Shanghai SIPG game is probably the worst of them all. That poor, poor man.

Tour De France Descends Into Chaos, Leader Forced To Run Up A Damn Mountain
Chris Froome appeared to have the Tour de France by the balls through most of this afternoon’s mountain stage up to Mount Ventoux, parrying away Nairo Quintana’s first attack and dropping everyone who posed a threat to his Tour on the final climb. While distancing Quintana and the rest of the general classification contenders in a small group with Richie Porte and Bauke Mollema, a television motorbike slowed down abruptly. Porte couldn’t get around him because of the tunnel of fans surrounding everyone, and he fell face first into the motorbike, bringing down Mollema and Froome with him.

Plagiarism detection app vs Russia's elites: 1-2 fake PhDs discovered every day
Dissernet, a leaderless collective of Russian scientists and journalists scrapes the doctoral dissertations of Russian elites -- who have been attaining advanced degrees at an unprecedented rate -- runs them through plagiarism detection software to flag probable frauds for human review, and publishes the names of officials who've been caught cheating, one or two every day.

Ted Cruz Desecrates Classic Movie Scene By Calling Hoop a "Basketball Ring"
While stumping in Indiana tonight, Ted Cruz attempted to recreate a classic scene from Hoosiers in the very same gym in which part of the movie (thought not this particular scene) was filmed. In the process, Ted Cruz managed to both alienate humans everywhere and ruin a beloved, classic film. In other words, just another Tuesday night for Ted Cruz.

When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Klay Thompson really boned it up and took off too early only to get doinked by a pass.
An Incomplete Treasury Of Great Phife Dawg Lyrics
Malik “Phife Dawg” Taylor of A Tribe Called Quest died yesterday at the age of 45. And as someone who went to college in the 1990s, I am obligated by law to tell you that A Tribe Called Quest was by far my favorite hip hop group, and that their shit still holds up to this day. But there’s nothing I can say about the Five Foot Assassin—no personal remembrance, no dipshit thinkpiece—that the man couldn’t say better himself. So here now are some of his greatest couplets, starting with the undisputed champ:
Looking Good, Sean Miller

Rugby Guy Almost Gets His Dick Ripped Off
The man making an anguished face in the picture above is Haydn Peacock, a player in the French rugby league. Why is he making that face? Because someone is trying to rip his goddamn rod off, man.
