The Joker is one of the most famous comic book characters of all time, which means he's been depicted on screen by so many people that it can be hard to remember them all. Whether it's the hyperactive and goofy Cesar Romero, the hilarious and witty Jack Nicholson, the menacing and magnetic Heath Ledger, or Jared Leto, everybody has a favorite live-action Joker. One thing none of those actors got to do, however, was carry an entire movie as the Clown Prince of Crime. Joaquin Phoenix is the latest to don the clown makeup in Joker , the villain's standalone film debut from director Todd Philips of the Hangover trilogy. Phoenix is Arthur Fleck, a clown for hire and standup comedian who gradually becomes the character we're all too familiar with amid a backdrop of social unrest and income inequality. Read more...

If you plan to bid farewell to summer with a little fishing this weekend, take some pointers from this tiny angler. Josie, 4, was fishing with her parents near Delavan, Illinois on Wednesday when she got a bite from a 33-pound flathead. (Josie weighs 30 pounds.) But with some help with her dad and her trusty Frozen pole, which was rigged with a 50-pound line, Josie was able to reel the fish in. At first, Josie thinks her new catch is pretty gross (understandable) but she eventually finds the courage to touch it. She even lies down next to it for scale.  We look forward to Josie catching a world record fish before the age of five. Read more...

Many of us know that feeling of waking up, headache in tow, struggling to remember what we said and did after that extra drink the night before. And then suddenly, the memories vividly resurface. Alcohol disinhibits us, making us say and do things that we’d otherwise keep under wraps. People will often drink to gain “Dutch courage” in a demanding situation. Many of us can understand the appeal of having a drink before a blind date or a social event – it can help to calm our nerves and cultivate confidence. That’s because alcohol has a depressant effect which makes… This story continues at The Next Web View Source

BeeJay (or Mr. B), the 26-pound cat who captured our hearts earlier this month, has acquired the two most important things for a cat in 2019: a forever home and an Instagram account. After a careful selection process by Morris Animal Refuge, the Philadelphia shelter where Mr. B was up for adoption, the large and good boy has officially moved into his new house. He seems to be enjoying himself. In fact, he was spotted chasing a fleck of light in his new bathtub, which is a vital part of the acclimation process. Jumping into #LaborDayWeekend with an adorable Mr. B. update! Here he is chasing the light in his new home. But aren’t we all, in a way? More news: he has his own Instagram account!

For a lot of developers, the last thing they want to do after being at work all day is to write more code. Staring at a screen all day does take a toll on you. Once you’ve had a chance to go for a walk and eat something, you might consider starting a personal project — and it doesn’t have to be anything too complicated. There might be a framework that you want to learn or a library you’ve been interested in. It doesn’t even have to be related to your job. This is your time to learn something that… This story continues at The Next Web View Source

Welcome to Dial Up , Mashable’s most excellent look at technology in the '90s, from the early days of the World Wide Web to the clunky gadgets that won our hearts.  In 2019, if you want to meet with someone, you shoot them a text. Easy. That wasn't the case in the 1990s. Back then, the scenario looked a little more like this: You carried around a little device called a pager in your pocket. It went off, showing little more than a phone number on the diminutive screen. If you were in public, you found a pay phone to call that number and arrange a meetup. At that point, you just had to hope everything went right, or go through that process all over again.  Read more... More about Texting , Cell Phone , Phones , Pagers , and Pager View Source

A video out of Phoenix, Arizona, shows lightning striking the ground startlingly close to a local reporter as he prepared to go on camera. Matt Rodewald, who works for Phoenix's Fox affiliate, was covering the monsoon storms in the area on Wednesday. Just before he began his live report, the lightning hit. According to a tweet from the station, it knocked out power in the vicinity, which you can see in the clip. In a remarkable display of calm, he still did his segment. SCARY! Our reporter @Matt_Fox10 was getting ready for a live report on the monsoon storm last night when lightning suddenly struck nearby and knocked out power in the area. ⚡️😱 #monsoon #lightning #phoenix #arizona #fox10phoenix pic.twitter.com/YYewTMkqfB — FOX 10 Phoenix (@FOX10Phoenix) August 29, 2019 Read more...

It’s Cheat Week at Mashable. Join us as we take a look at how liars, scammers, grifters, and everyday people take advantage of life's little loopholes in order to get ahead. The last conversation Nicola had with the man she'd been having an affair with for 2.5 years was about a tattoo he was thinking of getting. The next day, he vanished from her life.  "Deleted Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Skype. Emails bounced back, WhatsApps were undelivered, and that was that," she said. At first, she thought he was just taking some space and eventually he'd explain why. But days turned into weeks and weeks turned into 8.5 months.  Read more...

Welcome to Dial Up , Mashable’s most excellent look at technology in the '90s, from the early days of the World Wide Web to the clunky gadgets that won our hearts.  Where to put the Modest Mouse CD?  I didn’t want to put it right up front — too obvious that I was proud of it. But didn’t want to bury it too deeply. How would I find it easily? More importantly, what if someone browsing my collection didn’t get how important that album was to me? These were the questions I asked myself while organizing my CD binders. For you Gen Z kids out there, CD carrying cases were physical binders filled with pages where you would sheathe your favorite discs and album art. That way, you could consolidate your music collection into one browsable, portable package. Read more... More about Nostalgia , Cds , Tech , Identities , and Music View Source

Carpool Karaoke The Mic $59.99 View Product The Good Made for the car • Really fun • Cool to hear your voice on the radio • Entertaining • Long battery life and rechargeable The Bad You need a separate app for lyrics • Expensive gadget for limited use • Not the most intuitive set-up • Awkward canned message from Corden plays from the microphone The Bottom Line It seems cheesy, but once you've got it set up, this is the only way to have a road trip singalong.

Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! Sorry? What did you say? You use wires to listen to music? Oh my god, I hope you’re okay. While it’s certainly fine to plug your bits of hardware into each other to play tunes — this is a judgement-free(ish) zone — it’s much better to not bother with that. Instead, you should be sending your glorious sounds through the air before they reach your ears by going through the air in a different way. In other words, air is the present and the future.

You can have a stress-free, get-away-from-it-all kind of vacation, or you can stay at the forthcoming immersive Star Wars hotel in the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida. But one thing is  increasingly clear: You can't have both.  Disney offered a bunch of new details about the hotel, now known as Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, at D23 , and more details were unveiled at this week's opening of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in Orlando, Florida. We don't yet have an opening date for Starcruiser, which will be located across from the Galaxy's Edge park in Florida.  We also don't have a price; the Disney reps I asked neither confirmed nor refuted a widely-rumored estimate that we're looking at around $1,400 per person for the three-day, two-night experience. (There will be no option to stay for a longer or shorter period of time.)  Read more... More about Disney World , Disney Parks , Entertainment , and Star Wars View Source
