I enjoyed this story from the Avengers comic featuring Wolverine and Ms. Marvel in an amusing conversation during some downtime, and if you’re into comics, you might too.

The latest installment of Virus Comix, A Photo of Yourself from the Future, may get overly wordy at points and telegraph its ending, but it’s still a sweet little sci-fi tale. Read it when you’ve got a few minutes to spare.

Back in the 1980s, the Montreal-based indie record label OG Music was driving the Ontario/Quebec punk scene by releasing records from notable (if underappreciated) acts such as Deja Voodoo, Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra, The Gruesomes…

…The Asexuals, U.I.C., The Ripcordz, and these guys, The Supreme Bagg Team:

I loved this video when I saw it in the really early ’90s, and I’m glad to see someone posted it to YouTube. It’s a fun, raucous cover of Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot’s classic, If You Could Read My Mind…

…and it’s chock-full of pop culture bits that might be recognizable if you’re a Canadian of a certain age. Enjoy the tunes, as well as these stills from the video, featuring some Canadiana that’s no longer with us…

This is either an example of a relationship ending amidst the worst smartphone etiquette or an incredibly inspired comedy skit, but it doesn’t matter because it’s high-larious. I’m impressed with the kind of stories you can tell with Vine videos, even with the 6-second limit:

Be warned if you turn on the sound: there’s swearing. You might want to throw on some headphones if you’re at work or around the young’uns.

If you can’t turn on the sound right now, the guy’s soon-to-be-former girlfriend is saying: “You liked her fucking picture on Instagram, you followed her on Instagram…are you fucking Vining?”, after which she delivers a much-deserved smack to the back of his head.

Following or “liking” some other girl’s photo on Instagram, Facebook, or other social media site may not be cheating, but it’s a bad idea to exacerbate a situation by recording it. This may sound strange coming from a guy whose bread and butter is mobile devices, but sometimes you have to put down the damned phone.

The video has been duplicated on YouTube by the curators of The Vinest, who collect the best Vines:

Thanks to Samantha B. Clarkzilla for the find!

I feel comfortable making the assumption that this is a family in either a newly-added TV room or in a newly-occupied house. I feel less comfortable making assumptions about what they’re watching:
