Wad­dles the Duck was born with a man­gled left leg. So what does his care­tak­er–Ben Wein­man, the gui­tarist of Sui­ci­dal Ten­den­cies–do? Gets him a 3D print­ed pros­thet­ic, with the help of Der­rick Cam­pana, a Cer­ti­fied Pet Pros­theti­cist at Bion­ic Pets, notes Laugh­ing Squid. And, for a brief moment, the world’s ok.

Orig­i­nal­ly record­ed back in 2014, this clip of David Blaine per­form­ing a card trick for Har­ri­son Ford went viral this week. (Can we still use this expres­sion in the age of COVID?) Hang with it until the end. It’s worth the 1:50 of your time.

Using an FPV drone, YouTu­ber “jay­byrd­films” takes you on a some­what dizzy­ing tour of Bryant Lake Bowl, a vin­tage bowl­ing alley in Min­neapo­lis. As CNET puts it, “It’s an impres­sive bit of film­mak­ing as the … drone flies down bowl­ing lanes, nuz­zles close to the pins and then soars back toward the bowlers. Crisp, atmos­pher­ic audio — of peo­ple chat­ting, bowl­ing balls rolling on wood, pins clang­ing, glass­es clink­ing — adds to the imme­di­a­cy.” Enjoy.
