The dream of the 90s is alive: You can still get legit married in a virtual ceremony! You haven’t missed your chance! All this technology, it is all for you! From IKEA! Because the company that you associate with cheap furniture, Allen wrenches and hours of frustration is now in the wedding game.
I'll admit it: I love what IKEA's been up to lately. They're making high-tech however affordable desks. They're reissuing simple but sophisticated midcentury modern designs.

Okay, I absolutely have a soft spot for "Chandelier" parody videos. For some reason it never gets old watching dudes and SNL's Kate McKinnon don a leotard and Sia's signature wig and really go for gold in an attempt to emulate Maddie Ziegler's fantastic and kind of creepy choreography from the original music video. …

This past Sunday, a seven-month-old rhesus macaque, wearing a solitary Ugg boot as a jacket, was found wandering an Ikea parking lot in Toronto.
