Kitten Bullies Husky
This kitten is in training to be a badass. And she thinks she already is. Watch her whip up on this big old Siberian husky and show her who’s the boss.
The perspective from the canine side is a little different. This dog obviously has extensive experience with youngsters. Maybe she’s had puppies. Anyway, it takes practiced patience to tune out the annoyance so it won’t interfere with dinner. A dog has priorities. (via Tastefully Offensive)
Oh, To Be a Fly on the Wall
This picture was snapped just a few hours ago at the lobby of the hotel in Turkey where the G-20 summit is taking place. They can pretend they’re comparing notes on the room service or discussing what’s for lunch, but you can bet your bottom dollar the two most powerful men in the world are talking about stopping the suicide bombings, the plane crashing, and the beheadings.
Led Zeppelin Water Ballet
The Spanish synchronized swimming team won the 2009 World Swimming Championships in Rome with this routine. Synchronized swimming may be the silliest sport ever, and you may hate the song “Stairway to Heaven” (I loved it until 1982, then meh), but you have to admit, these athletes did a fantastic job with it.

Glen or Glenda
Ed Wood’s magnum opus. From Wikipedia:
Glen or Glenda is a 1953 drama film written, directed by, and starring Ed Wood, and featuring Bela Lugosi and Wood's then-girlfriend Dolores Fuller. The title was originally I Changed My Sex! and is often given as Glen or Glenda? but the question mark is not present in the film itself or on its poster.
The film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and transsexuality, and is semi-autobiographical in nature. Wood himself was a cross-dresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance. It is widely considered one of the worst films ever. However, it has become a cult film due to its low-budget production values and idiosyncratic style.

Weather in Finland
It’s November, and the mild temperatures can’t last forever. especially if you’re near the Arctic Circle. Meteorologist Pekka Pouta (his name means dry weather) has the forecast for Finland. Time to batten down the hatches, and build your direwolves some shelter. A better quality video is available at the station’s Facebook page. (via reddit)

Confused Coned Cats
Kittens Bea and Arthur were fixed on the same day. They came home from the veterinarian’s clinic wearing their cones of shame. They were a bit bumfuzzled with their own cones and their sibling’s cone, too! The music adds the perfect touch to their kitten minuet. (via Tastefully Offensive)
8 Extreme Disney Princess Mashups
The group of characters now known as the Disney Princesses as a brand are a money-making machine for Disney. For internet artists and comedians, their iconic clothing and colors that make them so recognizable to little children also make them a tempting trope for blending with just about anything—the more ridiculous, the better. Here are a few examples of making some random group of things into recognizable Disney Princesses, in a list I posted at mental_floss.

An Honest Trailer for Terminator: Genisys
There are some movie series that just won’t give up no matter what. In most, the first movie is the best. In a few, the second movie stands out. After that, it’s all diminishing returns unless your name is Bond, Pixar, or Harrison Ford. That brings up the question: Did anyone actually go to the theater to see Terminator: Genysis? No matter, if you didn’t, you can get your fill with the Honest Trailer. Even if you watched the whole movie, you wouldn’t understand it any better. Besides, it’s so dark that I had trouble finding a screenshot we can see. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
