Samuel L. Jackson calls out mistake on Spider-Man: Far From Home poster

Seems like Samuel L. Jackson noticed a mistake on his character Nick Fury in the new Spider-Man poster.

Jackson reposted a side by side photo of their new movie posters, where he noticed his character, Nick Fury, having his signature eye patch placed on two different eyes, rather than only the correct left eye.

Uhhhhhhh, What In The Actual FUCK IS GOING ON HERE???!!! #headsgonroll #lefteyemuthafukkah

A post shared by Samuel L Jackson (@samuelljackson) on

The original photo was posted by an observant Marvel fan on Reddit with the title, “Which eye did he injure?”. But it seems like he had a reaction to it writing, “Uhhhhhhh, What In The Actual F— IS GOING ON HERE???!!!.”

Seems like someone at Marvel made a boo boo!

Supreme Court rules L.A. fashion brand can trademark ‘scandalous’ name

Have you heard of the fashion brand “FUCT”?

Or more importantly, have you heard of the federal law that prevents officials from registering “scandalous” or “immoral” trademarks?
Los Angeles artist Erick Brunetti founded the streetwear clothing line and has been battling with the Supreme Court to get it trademarked. They announced their decision Monday, allowing the brand to trademark and gain a victory over the court.

But it wasn’t without a battle, fighting on the basis that the immoral or scandalous bar is substantially overboard. Where Justice Elena Kagan even suggested that a narrower law just covering lewd, sexually explicit, or profane trademarks might be acceptable.

Brunetti could still have used the name if he was denied a trademark registration, he just wouldn’t get the benefits that come with registering a trademark.

In the courts ruling, they stated how the law violates the first amendment’s protections for free speech and that deciding whether trademarks are “immoral” means discriminating “on the basis of viewpoint”.

Congratulations to Erick Brunetti and his brand, and get ‘fuct’ Supreme court.

Illinois will make recreational pot legal in 2020

On Tuesday, Illinois became the 11th state in the United States legalize the recreational use of marijuana. This new law also means more than 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of pot or less may have those legal records wiped clean.

Illinois residents will be able to buy and possess up to 1 ounce (30 grams) of marijuana at a time. If you are not an Illinois resident, you will be able to have 15 grams. The law will permit weed purchases by adults over the age of 21 at approved dispensaries after they have been re-licensed by the state, starting on Januuary 1, 2020. Possession of pot will remain illegal until then, according to a report by AP News.

If you want to go extra deep into this, here is actually bill that was voted in: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/101/HB/PDF/10100HB1438enr.pdf

These Are the Designs Tattoos Artists Are Tired of Doing

These Are the Designs Tattoos Artists Are Tired of Doing

When u/Dexley posted this question on reddit:
\”Tattoo artists, what pieces are you tired of doing?\”
I knew I was about to enter an internet black hole. Having just emerged, here are my findings…

\”Basically anything from Pinterest. Bird silhouettes, live laugh love, infinity symbols, etc\” – venttresstheslut

\”Clocks\” – Ringrar

\”1. Snakes.

2. Skulls

3. Snakes coming out of skulls.\” – RAEBZIRG

\”…I\’ll take a pocket watch with a lions face in the centre, birds flying off it merging into an infinity symbol with each bird having its own individual birthstone of the families lost cats over the years, than a smelly person.\” – ipickedbulbasaur

\”I was with a friend who was getting a tattoo and the artist mentioned he was sick of tattooing \’This Too Shall Pass.\’

Made sure to pull down my sleeve after he said that.\” – morgannemary

\”Not a piece but body location… as I was getting my foot tattooed circa 2009 the artist stopped half way through and said, “foot tattoos, the new tramp stamp” … thanks bro\” – ohyoumeanhydra

\”Surprised no one has called out astrological signs. Dated quite a few chicks with those.\” – blargher

\”Tattoo artist from Alabama here. I am not religious at all but I think I\’ve ascribed the entire bible on human flesh at this point.\” – RAWest_ofRaw

\”I worked as a shop manager for a little bit. My boss/the head artist was getting super burnt out on big cats (specifically lions) wearing crowns. In about a month, he\’d done 5 realistic lions (and a panther) wearing crowns on dudes who wanted to feel like kings. I had to start politely turning them down when people called to inquire about them.

\’Sorry, Ian\’s not really interested in doing more big cats this month.\’\” – AncientCatGod

Have any ragrets about tattoos you\’ve gotten? Tell us in the facebook comments.

Scooter hit and run leaves cyclist in the hospital

Not sure how I feel about the scooter phenomenon that hit our fine city in the past weeks, seems like too many things can go wrong.  Scooters littering the city, impeding pedways, sidewalks and roads seems like the set up for lots of issues.  Like what just happened to Allyson Medeiros, tattooist at Evoke Tattoos in Ukranian Village and Skin Abrasions Tattoos in Oak Park, who was cycling home from work Thursday and hit head on by someone riding a scooter in the wrong direction.

“While traveling in the bike lane, he was hit head-on by someone riding on the wrong side of the road on one of the new rental E-scooters. This accident caused him to sustain very serious trauma to his face, including multiple breaks to the jaw/nose/orbit/palate, multiple lacerations requiring more than  20 stitches, and a dangerous amount of air in his chest cavity. He spent the night in the trauma unit of the ER after being transported there from another hospital. Although he will make a full recovery, the medical bills he has accrued paired with needed recovery time away from work, has left him in need of help. Allyson unfortunately does not have health insurance, so any donations would be immensely appreciated.”  From the Go Fund Me raising money for Allyson HERE.

The collision happened at N Leavitt and W Crystal in Ukranian Village Thursday around 5:30p if you have any information, please contact Chicago PD.

Get well soon Allyson.

Billie Eilish fans are firing back at Twitter perv

This Twitter user is getting SLAMMED for sexualizing Billie Eilish. He posted photos of her in a tank top with the word ‘thick’, and people are NOT happy about it.

First people came because she’s only 17, so he made a tweet on how she’s not a minor…. in half the countries outside of the US.


He then tried to make his comments “okay”, by using her own lyrics against her. Not to mention he shared an Instagram post she made all because cause it said, “comment your dick size.”


To add the cherry on top to all this misogyny, he posted this photo

People on Twitter were NOT having it. Many people had something to say against this man, here just are a few:

One user posted a video of Billie saying why she wears baggy clothes… for situations like this!

Cat gets put through the ringer… literally

Fair warning, if you love cats you might wanna stop reading now, but I promise the cat makes it out alive.

Cat owner Stefani Carrol-Kirchoff never runs the washing machine before first checking to make sure one of her three furry friends aren’t inside, except last week.

She ran a normal cycle to clean a load of clothes, and thirty-five minutes later when she went to go grab her clothes to throw into the dryer Stefani noticed that the clothes were still damp.

Initially, Stefani thought the washing machine was just acting up so she was going to run them through another cycle but then a little white paw popped out from underneath her laundry.

The cat is still on oxygen and in the hospital, but for now, is in the clear.

Netflix pops out a new feature

Have you ever watched your favorite Netflix show but then had to pause to work on other stuff?

Well, now you can do both!

Netflix is rolling out a brand new pop-out, picture in picture viewing feature that allows you to never stop watching, even while at work.

The pop-out feature will be a pop-out screen that the user can move around freely around their screen, much like a separate video player.

This new feature is currently being tested but is projected to be very helpful for people with iOS or Mac devices as they can multitask their favorite show and work.

Bizarre video of a crow looking like a gorilla

Twitter has become baffled by this video of a crow that looks like a gorilla.

Twitter being Twitter, users had ways of understanding what exactly they were seeing.

With some scientists, who actually study birds, giving reasonable explanations as to what was going on.

Then, of course, some people had their own interpretations. More towards the thought of “evolution”, well, if crows started to become giant alien-like creatures.

Then finally, the best response, this photoshopped image of a gorilla head on a crow.

How’d you react if you saw a crow doing this?

Alice Cooper claims he and his wife have a death pact

Alice Cooper made headlines this past weekend because of an apparent “death pact” that he has with his wife.

The rockstar and his wife, Sheryl Goddard have been married for 43 years and have children together.

The two lovers having a death pact seems pretty rock and roll, but Cooper explained what he was trying to say in his interview earlier today.

They don’t have a suicide pact, it is more of a life pact.

Cooper had this to say in his recent interview with The Independent

“Sheryl and I do not have a death pact, we have a life pact,” he said. ” We love life so much.  What I was meaning was that because we’re almost always together, at home and on the road, that if something did happen to either of us, we’d most likely be together at the time.”

The 71-year-old may be a rockstar at heart, but he definitely has a soft spot in his heart for his family.

People are petitioning to make Keanu Reeves ‘Time’s Person Of The Year’

It seems people really want Keanu Reeves to be 2019’s Times Person of the Year.

Jackson Beem started a petition to Time Magazine to get him on the cover saying,

Keanu is the most wholesome person alive, make him the person of the year! Keanu has secretly donated millions of his earnings to children’s hospitals and other charities, and has done amazing things for people in public while ask for nothing in return.

His isn’t fighting alone, the 75,000 petition almost has 72,000 signatures!

So, will you be adding your name to the list?

One-third of women admit they go on a date for a free meal

A new study shows that one-third of heterosexual women only go on dates for free food.

Researchers have dubbed it a “foodie call”, like booty call but for food… get it?
It’s basically when someone sets up a date with a person they are not romantically interested in just so they can be wined and dined.

Researchers at Azusa Pacific University and UC Merced found that 23 percent to 33 percent of women say they’ve engaged in a ‘foodie call’. Those who are most likely to engage in a foodie call and find it acceptable scored him in these three personality traits – psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism.

Have you ever done a foodie call on someone? Or worse, do you think you’ve fallen victim to a foodie call?

Rivers Cuomo summed up….by the words of Rivers Cuomo.

Kerrang! knows that many fun words have been spoken by Rivers Cuomo.  So they collected two decades worth of stuff that the Weezer frontman has said over the years.  It turned into an interesting profile — and so enjoyable that I wanted to share it with you.

Some highlights:

On his public persona:  “Outside of Weezer world, it’s really hard for me, socially. But I think it’s also part of the reason why I have attracted an audience: all I need to do is be myself and people think it’s weird and entertaining.”

On Weezer fans:  “People always ask me why I think our fans stuck around, and the truth is we don’t know. I hope it’s because we made good records, and people didn’t get sick of them.”

On metal music:  “Metal was extremely important to me, musically and spiritually. It was more than just music. It was a faith, a cult, a religion that one could belong to.”

More thoughts on metal — and many other things, including an insight into how he really feels about Pinkerton — in a nice summary of quotes collected throughout the years by the magazine.  — [eric]

Stream Twenty One Pilots piano version of ‘Chlorine’

Twenty One Pilots are set to headline Lollapalooza, and they continue to feed their faithful Clique with grandiose shows. This week the Ohio duo posted a new rendition of a track off their recent album ‘Trench’, with this quite chill piano-centered version ‘Chorline’. It still utilizes a stable beat, but nothing that has that big kick to it, rather it goes for subtle head-bobbing feeling with a more delicate vocal performance. It’s refreshing to see TOP so convincingly re-do their own songs with such solid results.

No details are currently on known on when we might get more from the Location sessions, but we are looking forward to it.

Stream the Raconteurs new album ‘Help Us Stranger’ here

The Raconteurs, the wonderful musical marriage of Jack White and Brendan Benson is back once again with a romping catchy new album that is just dripping sing-a-long clap-a-long fun. And you can stream it right here!

Stereogum praised the album, saying it takes the torch from 70’s classic rock but that ” there’s nothing that White and Benson have cooked up on Help Me Stranger that sounds like genre-reliant clock-punching; instead, they make playing around in the classic-rock sandbox sound like so much fun that you have to wonder why it took them eleven years to get back in the habit together”.

Consequence of Sound says “White sounds like he’s genuinely having a good time on Help Us Stranger. Evidence of these reinvigorated humors pervades opener “Bored and Razed”, a no-frills rock stomper that finds White whirling his way through the verses and Benson adding a calming sweetness to the choruses.”

It’s definitely one of the biggest alternative releases of summer to say the least. It will make us drool in anticipation of their set at Riot Fest in September. Win your way into that here. 

Also it gets an endorsement from Jack Black in this video.
