| Paranormal Activity's Latest Trailer Makes Us Sorta Interested in the Series Again Posted: 17 Sep 2021 03:20 PM PDT  It's not a direct sequel, but if you're hungering for one of those, the Paranormal Activity series has six already.

| Instagram, the Internet's Cool Mom, Leaves Up Videos Encouraging Kids to Steal From School Posted: 17 Sep 2021 02:56 PM PDT  Like an aging water park, Facebook owes its continued existence to occasionally throwing in a new wave pool (Instagram) and then spending most of the rest of its days sipping a cold one and paying the settlements on the injury lawsuits, safe in the knowledge that it's the only game in town. Now that a formidable rival… |
