Politics: Tucker Carlson: Michael Vick should’ve been executed (!!!)

  • Yo, Tucker: What Michael Vick did was awful, and we’re sure he realizes the error of his ways … but come on. Execution? Exe-freaking-cution? In other news, we haven’t been to The Daily Caller in months. Is that site still around? source

U.S.: So, what’d we miss? *opens browser* Holy crap, Times Square!

  • The guy taking off his shirt in this video is a person of interest in the Times Square car bombing attempt, which managed to clear out one of the most human-saturated areas of the world on Saturday night. The SUV included three propane tanks, a large gun locker, a pressure-cooker-type device with a bunch of wires and some M-88 firecrackers in it, and a bunch of fertilizer that’s incapable of causing explosions. A T-shirt vendor noticed smoke was coming out of it. He stopped a pretty terrible situation. In other words, someone wanted to punish ShortFormBlog for taking a weekend off by nearly blowing up Times Square. Thanks. source

Tech: Content-aware fill in Photoshop is like whoa

  • We’re pretty sure this new feature in the latest Photoshop is totally real (and not an April Fools’ joke like some have suggested), but man, is it ethically questionable. Worth1000 and Fark might enjoy it, along with a few ad firms, but for editorial photos, it’s like a minefield. Skip to about the 2:50 mark to see the dude remove an entire TREE.

Tech: The Microsoft Courier looks like a fawnworthy dream device

We know what you’re thinking. Since when did we fawn over Microsoft products? To that, we say, “Watch the video at the link. It’s jaw-dropping.” source

Tech: Asus’ new Eee eBook reader is not only fawnworthy, but cheap

It’s dual-screen AND it’s going to sell for less than $200. We’re gonna buy two so that we can surround ourselves with the Internet at all times. source

Music: Noel leaves Oasis. We’re sure he’s gonna look back in anger.

  • It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer. Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan.
  • Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher • On quitting the band his songwriting made famous. Holy crap. This is a big deal. Oasis holds a special, drunken fighting-with-siblings place in our hearts. We’ll miss them greatly. (Rejected headlines: “Oasis doesn’t live forever”; “Liam wasn’t Noel’s Wonderwall after all”; “Oasis explodes like a champagne supernova in the sky”) • source

Offbeat: We’re not sure what this sewer monster is, but it’s a YouTube hit

  • This looks like the craziest thing we’ve ever seen, and we’re sure it’s going to eat us. This video managed to top Michael Jackson as the most popular thing on YouTube this week, and we can see why. We’re guessing Jackson died because he was afraid it was going to eat him at his imaginary tour stop in Raleigh.source
