National Wig Out Day!

News of the Day:

+ Stranger Things cast members Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo, and Noah Schnapp battle each other in the latest episode of Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle. If you needed another reason to love these kids, here's four more. 

+ BADBADNOTGOOD not only announced the forthcoming release of a 21-track compilation album but also dropped a sample single off the mix. The album, Late Nigh Tales, will feature artists like Thundercat and Stereolab. Stream their new single, "To You," below.

+ A woman in a hijab, a breastfeeding mother, and a yogi in a headscarf are some of the newest emojis to grace the internet. Unfortunately, these updates are only available via the desktop interface on Twitter. In the meantime, we'll be keeping our fingers crossed that the update makes its way to our mobile device sooner rather than later.
