Cats and Dogs Interrupting Yoga
To do yoga, you need to get on the floor. To a dog or cat, a person getting on the floor is an invitation to play, obviously. These people should know better. They should do their yoga in the table! (via Tastefully Offensive)

Dog in High Grass
Alfie is taking a walk through a field with his humans. But the grass is high, taller than Alfie! How is he going to find his way around and keep up with his people?
With an intermittent vertical check to gain his bearings every so often! He looks like a Jack-in-the-box, but it worked for Alfie. (via Arbroath)

Kangaroo in the Snow
Instagram member docholidayescape posted this picture from Orange, New South Wales today. Yes, that’s a kangaroo in the snow, something you don’t see very often, even though it’s winter Down Under. Up to 20cm (almost 8 inches) of snow fell in New South Wales, the most snow in half a century. Parts of Queensland were affected, too. Many roads are closed, thousand are without power, and quite a few schools cancelled classes today. See more pictures from the Australian snowfall at Buzzfeed.
Bring Back My Boat!
Comedian Donnie Baker is upset that his beloved boat was hauled off because it was an “eyesore.” Baker manages to bring the level of redneck puns and idioms up to infinity in this little rant. (via reddit)

SDCC Cosplay Music Video 2015

Happy Birthday, Disneyland!
Has it really been 60 years? On July 17, 1955, Disneyland opened to invited guests. Six thousand invitations were sent, 11,000 were expected, and about 28,000 showed up. See some photographs from that day, and the first day of tickets sale on the 18th, in an article I posted at mental_floss.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Max Fury Road
Ezequiel López took the audio of the trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road and edited in clips from the 1963 movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. If you recall the original trailer, the selected clips work perfectly. (via Metafilter)
Juno the Beluga Whale
Juno is one of three Beluga whales who live at Mystic Aquarium on Mystic, Connecticut. He learned a long time ago that it’s a real hoot to scare the kids who come up to the glass to look at him. But then again, he probably goes up to the glass to get a good look at those strange creatures on the other side. Juno can be friendly at times, and doesn’t mind to have a picture taken with you. -via reddit
Poor Pluto
Poor Pluto. First he has to be out there so far away from everyone else in the solar system, then he gets downgraded to a dwarf planet in 2006, and now this. Artist BennuBird illustrated how Pluto must feel about the New Horizons flyby. We broke his little heart! See more sad Pluto art at Buzzfeed.
