Bed bugs have tormented humans for millennia, so detested that their mere mention can make hearts race and arms itch. There are approximately 100 species of bed bugs, but thankfully only three of them feed on humans. So, why are these unwelcome houseguests so difficult to defeat? And is there any way to get rid of them for good?
Dig into how bed bugs establish a colony in your home, and find out what makes it so hard to prevent these itchy invasions.

From Colmscomics:
And before anyone comes at me and say this guy looks like Mario, you’re wrong. His name is Markio, totally different! His wife is called Priscella Beach, and the man she ran away with was called Booser (Bowser to his friends). Totally fine and copyright free!

LEGO just dropped the mic… and then transformed it into a cassette player with legs. That’s right, the legendary Decepticon Soundwave is back, and this time he’s made out of bricks! If you’ve ever wanted your childhood toy to stare menacingly from your adult bookshelf, your moment has finally arrived!
With 1,505 pieces of pure Decepticon glory, this LEGO Icons set lets you build the Soundwave, the OG cassette player robot who hid smaller, angrier robots inside his chest like some kind of Russian nesting villain. And yes, he actually transforms between robot and cassette mode without falling apart like your childhood dreams!
Press his LEGO play button and he talks. Because of course he does. That’s what $189.99 gets you… plus Ravage and Laserbeak, both buildable cassette minions that tuck neatly into his chest like the world’s most hardcore mixtapes.
He’s posable, powerful, and looks amazing on a desk.
Drops August 1 for LEGO Insiders, August 4 for everyone else.

After spending more time in development hell than most video game sequels, Red Sonja has finally hacked her way back to the big screen! The first trailer is here, and it’s everything you didn’t know you missed from early 2000s fantasy cinema.
Matilda Lutz stars as the flame-haired warrior who gets captured, chained, and immediately starts stabbing her way through the plot like it owes her money. There’s blood! There’s rebellion! There’s armor that protects absolutely nothing! There’s even a wand that suspiciously looks like a LED flashlight around the 60-second mark!
Does it look epic? Sort of. Does it look like it escaped from a 2001 DVD bargain bin? Definitely. Are we going to watch it anyway? Oh, absolutely.
Red Sonja hits theaters August 15 and digital August 29.
Join “Weird Al” Yankovic himself as he guides you through the ultimate 8-bit adventure: an unreleased, ultra-rare NES game that chronicles his wonderfully weird career. Record hit songs in a public restroom! Fling tuna casserole at gang members! Battle spatula-wielding goons and dodge poodles falling from the sky! And yes, Conan the Librarian will ruin your day if those books are overdue! Check it out!
