Internet Roadtrip – Take the wheel!
You’re cruising down the road and then everyone in the car votes on where to go every 10 seconds. Sounds like hell, doesn’t it? Well, it’s more fun (and sometimes frustrating) than that on Neal.Fun’s Internet Roadtrip site. See where you end up with a group of strangers as you all try to navigate down the map.

Adorkastock is raising funds for LGBTQ+ through June
Adorkastock smashed through her $1,000 goal for LGBTQ+ orgs just 9 days into June, but the fundraiser is still going. When she did that, she added even more poses from more pose ref artists, including TrueRef, Null Entity, Jook Pub Stock, and Fugitive Rabbit. For just $5 you can get these sweet, sweet poses and also help contribute to the three LGBTQ+ causes she has listed: The Trevor Project, The Theater Offensive, and Transgender Emergency Fund MA. I would like to also note that The Theater Offensive lost 10k in funding due to the recent administration’s war on “DEI”, so these orgs need our help more than ever. You can direct donate to The Theater Offensive here!

You’re given 3 letters. You make a word with those 3 letters. Then you have 4 letters. You must make another word. So on, so forth, and when you make a word with all 8 letters, you win. That’s Eightile for you!
Unparalleled Misalignments examines synonyms
This is fun. Common phrases, and then synonyms that mean the same thing, but are… unexpected? Strange? Take a look. You can even suggest other synonyms or join Discord to make suggestions.
Removing a Hornet’s Nest without Pesticides
Watching this person take down a hornet’s nest, hit worker hornets with a racket, and then feed the nest larvae to their chickens is honestly a wild ride. A friend sent this video to me – “thought you might enjoy it.” Sure did enjoy it, thank you!
