If you’ve ever tried to sleep in the car or on a plane, you know how hard it can be to find a comfortable position. Waking up with a stiff neck or back pain kind of takes the “power” out of a power nap. But with limited space and angles to work with, there’s no other option — or so you thought.
Successfully funded on Kickstarter, the napEazy ergonomic split pillow can help you solve all your awkward sleep issues when you're on the go. While it’s only the size of a laptop, it combines the comfort of a bed pillow, convenience of a travel pillow, and pain relief capabilities of a back pillow all into one design. It's also made of memory foam and is both water repellent and hypoallergenic. Read more...

'Godzilla vs. Kong' stomps international box office with biggest opening weekend since the pandemic began
Godzilla vs. Kong, a film in which a giant reptile throws down with a giant primate, seems to have done pretty well at the international box office. While the U.S. won't get its fill of gargantuan animal fights until the end of the month, the monster movie has already raked in $121.8 million from 38 markets across the globe.
There's still some way to go before Godzilla vs. Kong recovers its $200 million budget, but it's a more than decent start — especially considering Americans haven't seen it yet.
SEE ALSO: How to watch 'Godzilla vs. Kong'
While the coronavirus pandemic has continued to keep sensible people in the U.S. far away from movie theatres, countries that have the virus more under control have cautiously crept back in front of silver screens. Over the weekend, 56,777 of those screens apparently featured Godzilla and King Kong punching on. Read more...

Stick the Suez-blocking ship Ever Given in more places it shouldn't be with this web app
The 400m-long container ship Ever Given has been firmly stuck in the Suez Canal for days now, holding up traffic and slowing global trade. It's a terrible situation economically, but a hilarious one in pretty much every other respect, with the stranded ship providing ample fodder for memes and jokes. Now a new web app is letting users visualize what the Ever Given might look like wedged into other places as well.
Created by map enthusiast Garrett Dash Nelson, Glitch web app Ever Given Ever Ywhere allows users to plonk the large barge anywhere on a satellite map of the world. Want to drop it in the Hudson? Done. The Seine? No problem. Now you too can ruin everything by putting a big boat in places it shouldn't be. Read more...

Maya Rudolph's perfect Beyoncé impression lights up an 'SNL' take on 'Hot Ones'
No one does a better Beyoncé impression than Maya Rudolph, and Saturday Night Live used the occasion of Rudolph's appearance at host to bring back the classic.
In this sketch, Rudolph-as-Beyoncé brings the pop star's regal bearing to the hit YouTube interview series, "Hot Ones," in which guests eat a progressively hotter series of chicken wings (or vegetarian/vegan equivalent) as host Sean Evans (played by Mikey Day here) grills them with thoughtful questions about their past. (It's a great show if you haven't watched it!)
Queen Bey keeps her cool at first, but it quickly becomes apparent that she's out of her league going up against sauces like "Hitler's Anus Roasted Reaper Sauce" and "The Devil's Diarrhea Scorpion Sauce." Read more...

Pete Davidson explains NFTs in another amazing Eminem parody on 'SNL'

After recently taking on the rap star's "Stan" in a sketch that laid into the futility of shopping for a PlayStation 5, Davidson is back now with a new version of "Without Me" that turns its attention to another hot tech story of the moment: NFTs.
Helped by Chris Redd, who takes on the role played by Dr. Dre in the original video, the video runs through all the zany things people are doing with non-fungible tokens. But it's not until musical guest Jack Harlow arrives that we get a real and informed explanation of what tech's latest flight of fancy is all about. Read more...

Bowen Yang hilariously dismantles performative allyship in a memorable 'SNL' Weekend Update
Saturday Night Live's Bowen Yang had some things to say about anti-Asian hate and how people are finding ways to help on the latest Weekend Update. After being introduced by co-host Colin Jost as the show's "Asian cast member" — a trap, Yang dryly informs him — the segment launches into an intentionally over-the-top rundown of not-entirely-helpful and funny-in-an-upsetting-way strategies that the people of social media have employed to show support for the Asian-American community.
The Weekend Update moment is a direct response in some ways to the recent shooting in Atlanta that left eight dead, with six of them being Asian women. Of course, the incident that many have dubbed a hate crime for its targeting of Asian-owned businesses is just a single moment in a much longer history of hate, spurred on over the past year in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by disgraced former President Donald Trump.

Martin Short joins Maya Rudolph for Kamala and Doug's star-studded 'SNL' Seder
Chag sameach to my fellow Jews and goys alike! Saturday Night Live celebrated the annual Feast of the Unleavened Bread in style, with a star-studded gathering at the home of Vice President Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph) and her Jewish husband, Doug Emhoff (Martin Short).
The "unity Seder" sees Harris reaching across the aisle to invite some of the... uh... luminaries? in the Republican party for dinner. That includes Ted Cruz (Aidy Bryant), who shows up with pork and bread — observant Jews don't eat the former and, during Passover, forgo the latter. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (Cecily Strong) also pays the Harris-Emhoff crew a visit, entering through a window "insurrection-style," which is her thing now. Read more...

There’s a time and place for every coding language. Still, when you’re first starting, it’s best to go with something that’s not only beneficial for your career path, but also makes it easier for you to learn other programming languages afterward. That brings us to C, C++, and C#. And this Complete C Suite Programming Bundle can help you start your journey.
The C language is a general-purpose language used to develop operating systems, databases, creative applications, and more. And many other programming languages inherit or are inspired by the properties of C — like C++ and C#. In this ten-course training, you’ll learn the similarities and differences between these languages and how to properly write code using each of them. Read more...
