All wellsprings of the intense desire to hug so hard it hurts. Well it turns out scientists have given this compulsion a name. It’s “Cuteness aggression,” and they’re trying to make sense of it. With bubble wrap.

All the Google Products That Google Itself Has Killed Dead
Google is responsible for giving birth to tools that have changed the entire world: Google search, Gmail, Android and so forth. It should be celebrated!

It should be charged with murder!
