At least 51 killed as tornado tears through Oklahoma, leaving miles of debris

An enormous tornado roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs, killing at least 51 people, including 20 children Monday. The twister pulverized entire city blocks, left behind miles of mangled cars and splintered wood, and destroyed an elementary school where seven children were found dead.

Rufus featuring CHAKA KHAN ‘Rufusized’ LP advertisement, 1974.

YES!!! Gotta love the wild child! 70’s CHAKA KHAN!!!

*Side note - I can’t believe the record company allowed this to be printed with her name spelled wrong. It’s CHAKA KHAN — not Chaka Kahn. EPIC FAIL!

How Yahoo Killed Flickr and Lost the Internet

How Yahoo Killed Flickr and Lost the Internet:

Web startups are made out of two things: people and code. The people make the code, and the code makes the people rich. Code is like a poem; it has to follow certain structural requirements, and yet out of that structure can come art. But code is art that does something. It is the assembly of something brand new from nothing but an idea.

World Premiere Music Video: RuPaul’s “Lick It Lollipop” featuring Lady Bunny

Check out the world premiere of RuPaul’s sizzlin’-hot new music video “Lick It Lollipop.” An auburn RuPaul schools the chillun on how to rock a kaftan, teaming up with an equally flawless Lady Bunny to spin, high-kick, and dance their asses off to the infectious beat. And, ahem… deep-throat. The video also features the (considerable) talents of Miles Davis Moody, who is going to explode this year. You heard it here first. This feel-good summer jam is available on iTunes.

A Jay-Z Sighting … in 1939 Harlem

Was one of Brooklyn’s finest in Harlem in 1939? This Sid Grossman photo of “Harlem Loiterers” from the Prints Collection at NYPL’s Schomburg Center for Research In Black Culture has created quite a stir since being posted to the Center’s Facebook page the other day. Why? Because the man on the right looks a heck of a lot like Jay-Z (for evidence, check out these photos of Jay-Z when he visited The New York Public Library in 2010). Cue Twilight Zone music, right? Schomburg’s Curator of Digital Collections Sylviane A. Diouf found the photo while researching an exhibition, and said, “I was immediately struck by the similarity to Jay-Z and actually laughed out loud … I still hope somebody will tell us who that young man really was.”

So is Jay-Z a time traveler? Is this someone else - anyone know who? What do you think?
