Todays tea is this spicy call out meme(图1)

Did someone say tea party? Because this meme calls out everything and anything problematic on the internet.

The "today's tea" meme is essentially the bunny sign meme, repackaged in a piping hot ASCII teacup.

From hot takes on the capitalist hell we live in to personally calling you out for neglecting your health, the meme reminds you that everyone on the internet has an opinion.

Cat hiking videos are the wholesome escape you need in your life
Cat hiking videos are the wholesome escape you need in your life
This post is part of Hard Refresh, a soothing weekly column where we try to cleanse your brain of whatever terrible thing you just witnessed on Twitter.
Things you can reasonably expect to see on a hike: trees; rocks; streams. Thing you might not expect to see on a hike: A cat on a leash walking with its owner.
Turns out that hiking cats are more common than you might think. These adventurous felines can be found on YouTube and Instagram, where they explore rough mountain terrain, rocky beaches, and green pastures.
SEE ALSO: What happens when an animal influencer dies?

There's something so delightful about watching these pets explore new terrain with such curiosity.

While there are lots of videos of hiking cats online, I recommend you check out some of these seasoned feline hikers first.
There's Cezar, the traveling cat who's been to France, El Salvador, and Malta. Then there's Honey Bee(opens in a new tab), the blind cat who loves to spend time outdoors. And finally, there's Paul the cat, whose high-altitude hiking videos will put your own hiking abilities to shame.

While most cats are naturally pretty curious, not every cat is built to explore the outside world, according to the Adventure Cats blog(opens in a new tab). Felines that possess a playful demeanor and an interest in the outside world -- and are willing to wear a harness — might make solid hikers.
For cat owners intrigued by the idea of bringing their pets on long hikes (or even just outside for a quick walk,) Adventure Cats has a pretty comprehensive guide(opens in a new tab) to getting your pet more comfortable with the great outdoors.
But if you're just looking for 15 minutes of nature footage and cute cats, watch a video or two and then daydream of one day climbing a mountain with Whiskers by your side.

Why arent you spying on your dog?
Why arent you spying on your dog?
Forget Shark Week, it’s Bark Week on Mashable. Join us as we celebrate all the good dogs, which we humans do not deserve.
Ever kissed your faithful pooch goodbye before a long day at the office and wondered what the heck he's planning on doing all day?
Will he spend hours gazing out the window and mournfully awaiting your return? Maybe he knows how to turn on the television and will finish binging Queer Eye. Or perhaps he'll take advantage of your absence and do all the things he knows deep down he's not supposed to — like sniff around your closet or hop up on the table.
If you're curious about what your furry friends are up to when you're gone, there's only one way to find out: Start spying on your pets.
SEE ALSO: Puppy gets caught eating paper, decides to leave no witnesses

Now the word "spying" sounds pretty hardcore. To clarify, we're not suggesting you hire a private investigator or even spend your lunch break going back home to check on your pet.
Our version of spying is much easier, and pretty entertaining, if we do say so ourselves. Simply invest in a pet monitoring camera so you can tune in via phone or computer from miles away to see how your dog's doing when your watchful eye isn't physically in the house.
Alone time is great, and even animals need their privacy, but installing a security camera to check in on your pet has some serious benefits. Let's examine a few of the most important, shall we?
1. You can see when they're misbehaving
The first perk of a pet cam, of course, is that it will allow you to catch any wrongdoings that might take place in your absence.
Cameras will give you the opportunity to see if your pooch is really the Good Boy you think or if it's all an act. And if you have multiple pets it's very helpful when it comes to solving mysteries like who's to blame for all the shoe munching?
For instance, a camera helped Twitter user @sofreakingsuper(opens in a new tab) learn that her dog's the one breaking rules and chewing up her paint brushes while she's at work, while her cat just naps all day. Gotta love teens.

Sometimes you'll learn your pet's using the wrong bed, climbing on furniture, eating people food, and then dramatically falling off the furniture, which is far from ideal.

And pet cameras aren't just for home use. If you leave your furry friend at a kennel or day care while you're traveling for a few days, be sure to check if there's a video feed you could tune in to from afar.
That's what Mashable Culture Writer Marcus Gilmer did when he was visiting our New York office, and he wound up discovering his precious pup Charlie was chillin' in timeout 470 miles away.

Warning: In select cases like theses pet cameras do have the potential to break your heart. :(
2. You can capture pure content gold
Pet monitoring cameras record a ton of joyful, hilarious, and impressive "you have to see it to believe it" moments, too, though.
Allow Mashable editor Adam Rosenberg, who temporarily placed his dog camera in the bathroom to capture his talented dog Fozzie's weird but intriguing AF little toilet-adjacent contortions, to prove us right.

And while they sometimes like to hang out near toilet bowls, your pets are smart, so on occasion they do notice they're being watched. If we're being honest, those moments always thoroughly entertaining to witness.

Good job, pups — you caught your humans being kind of creepy!
3. You can hang out with your pets all day
Perhaps one of the ultimate pet cam perks is that it allows you to hang out with your pets ALL THE TIME.
When you're on a No Pets Allowed trip and feeling guilty about leaving them behind, check the cam. When you're having a bad day and need some cheering up, check the cam. And when you're bored at work, wishing your pets were by your side to make the day more bearable, pull up the camera's feed on your computer screen. It'll almost feel like you're hanging out all day!
Mashable's Executive Editor Annie Colbert, who is a few steps and a pencil skirt away from turning into Angela Martin, the uptight cat lady from The Office, does it all the time. (Annie, if you're reading this, we love watching your cat cam and you are much nicer than Angela).

4. Peace of mind
Maybe you feel your pets totally have things under control when you step out and the thought of investing in a security type camera has never even crossed your mind, or perhaps you've been on the fence about dropping some dollars on even more technology. But whatever your stance is, there's no doubt a pet camera will, at the very least, give you peace of mind.
Cameras give you the convenience of checking on your pet whenever, wherever. And sure, your pet might just wind up sleeping all day or walking around the house, but wouldn't you rather know they're safe then have to keep wondering?
And though their time alone in the house might be totally uneventful, seeing pets simply exist and behave when no one watching is extremely heartwarming. JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE GOOD DOGS! 😭😭😭 They deserve extra treats when their owners return home.

Pet spying 101
If you're so convinced by this persuasive argument for spying on your pets that you're now looking for the perfect pet cam, you're in luck!
There are a lot of great cameras made with pets in mind, and even some interactive cameras, like Petcube and Furbo, that allow you to talk to, play with, or dispense treats to your pets while you're gone at the push of a button.
Though, as several camera owners have learned, the extra high-tech ones may give your pet the false impression you're standing outside the door or inspire them to do nothing other than sit in front of the device all day eagerly awaiting treats.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the camera doesn't necessarily have to be pet specific, which means you can use most any household security camera with a feed, like Google's Nest devices.
What's the verdict?
Pet monitoring cameras seem great, right? I mean, as far as I can see, the only downside to installing one could be that you wind up spending too much time checking in on your furry friends.
You know when new parents go out for the first time and politely keep excusing themselves to call the babysitter 24,659,742 times to see if their baby is lost without them or like still blinking at a normal rate? Yeah, don't use the pet camera for that.
We regret to inform you that your pet is probably getting along just fine without you. The camera is just a helpful way to make them feel a little closer despite the distance between you.
So if you've ever been the least bit curious about your pet's behavior or wellbeing when you're separated, why not take the plunge and start spying? At the very least, you'll have a greater peace of mind knowing you can digitally look out for your pet, and maybe if you're really lucky, your camera will capture an LOL-worthy moment.

In-N-Out pops up in Australia again, and suitably people go nuts for it
Whatever your opinion may be of beloved Californian burger outlet In-N-Out, you can't deny the brand has quite the pull.
The chain opened a pop-up at a bar called Lover in Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday, something which it regularly does around the world.

Like other pop-ups gone by, In-N-Out stuck to the basics.
That's the burger, served double-double with the option of animal style (mustard fried onto the patty, pickles, grilled onions, and extra thousand island "spread.") or the bun-less protein style. Crisps replace fries, which is fair considering how notably *meh* the french fries are.
Despite the long wait for these pop-ups, locals lined up for a slice of California, with the pop-up open only between 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Who is Vecna in Stranger Things and why is the internet talking about them?
Who is Vecna in Stranger Things and why is the internet talking about them?
The first seven episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 were released on Netflix on Friday (May 27), and the internet is abuzz with hot takes, memes, and predictions about the final two episodes that are scheduled to drop in July. That means that for the next few weeks, prepare to see the name "Vecna" all over your social media feeds.
With tens of thousands of tweets, Vecna is already the breakout star of the season. So, who is Vecna? And why is the internet so obsessed with it? Let's talk about it.
Mild Spoilers ahead.

Who is Vecna?

Vecna is to Stranger Things 4 what the Demogorgon was to Season 1. In other words, he's the big, scary monster wreaking havoc on Hawkins.
Vecna lives in the Upside Down and preys on people's past traumas and guilt. The monster curses its victims, making them relive their trauma in progressively more gruesome ways until it violently kills them. (And we mean, like, really violently.) Vecna slaughters its targets by levitating them in the air, breaking all their bones, and making their eyes and skull implode. And like its predecessors (the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer), Vecna is named by the Party after a Dungeons & Dragons character.
Tweet may have been deleted (opens in a new tab) (Opens in a new tab)

In the final episode of Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, it's revealed that Vecna isn't native to the Upside Down, but was banished there by Eleven after he gruesomely massacred the Hawkins National Lab. Vecna was the original child studied by Dr. Brenner and the son of Victor Creel. He's the infamous Number One, but had his powers blocked and worked as an aide in the Hawkins National Lab. He befriended Eleven at the lab and not knowing Vecna was evil, Eleven restored his powers resulting in the massacre and his expulsion to the Upside Down.
Before coming to the Hawkins National Lab, Venca had a classic villain origin story — he became obsessed with black widows, tortured his family, and brutally killed his mother and sister pinning it on his father.
One/Vecna had his powers blocked and was working as an aide at Hawkins National Lab where he befriended Eleven. Not knowing that One was evil, Eleven restored his powers which he used to gruesomely massacre the entire lab. Eleven banished One/Vecna to the Upside Down where he's been attacking the Hawkins teens from.
Vecna notably targets Max (Sadie Sink), and the Hawkins gang discovers that the only way for her to avoid being killed by his curse is to play Max her favorite song, which happens to be "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" by Kate Bush. As a result of its inclusion in the show, the 1985 track has skyrocketed in popularity and currently sits at No. 2 on Spotify's top 50 U.S. chart(Opens in a new tab) and No. 4 on its top 200 global chart.(Opens in a new tab)

NASAs X-Plane is designed to fly at supersonic speeds without the sonic boom
NASAs X-Plane is designed to fly at supersonic speeds without the sonic boom
NASA wants to prove that it can fly a plane faster than the speed of sound without blasting American neighborhoods below with sonic booms.
Previously, commercial supersonic travel had been limited to the Atlantic Ocean, where people wouldn't be jarred awake by planes traveling overhead at more than 760 miles per hour. But with an innovative plane design that might subtly morph in the air to tame sound waves, NASA hopes to build a quieter supersonic plane that would revolutionize travel.
Our cross-country flight times would be cut in half. NASA calls it the X-Plane, and the agency just awarded the aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin the $247.5 million contract to build the first one.
SEE ALSO: Finding alien life won't cause chaos and panic, according to scientists

At a news conference Tuesday morning, NASA said that this first X-Plane is a data-collecting experiment expected to take flight in 2021.
The plane will be 94-feet-long, smaller than today's medium-sized commercial aircraft, like the popular Boeing 737. It will typically cruise around speeds of 1.4 Mach, which is approximately 940 mph when traveling at 55,000 feet, according to a NASA spokesperson.

Today's commercial airliners typically travel between 550 and 590 miles per hour(opens in a new tab), far short of the 767 mph speed of sound.
NASA aeronautics engineers underscored that this plane isn't a prototype for a defense mission or a private jet -- but an experimental plane intended to fly over American communities and see if it is quiet enough to be a real, usable technology.
NASA's goal is to not produce a sonic boom at all, but something that sounds more like a soft thud.
"I’m trying not to use the word sonic boom," said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA’s Commercial Supersonics Technology Project. "I’m trying to ban that from everyone’s vocabulary."
Getting a plane to produce a thud, as opposed to a thunderous blast, broadly means controlling the strength and position of the shock waves produced by the supersonic-speeding plane as it zooms through the air.

This is something Lockheed Martin and NASA flight engineers will spend the next couple years developing, so by the time a sound wave hits the ground -- possibly in a neighborhood near you -- it's weakened to a thump, "not a boom," said Coen.
Lockheed Martin has already designed much of the sleek plane.
If all goes as planned, the experimental plane will make its first flight in 2021. Then, after NASA ensures the plane is safe and passes "acoustic validation tests," the aircraft will begin flying over a variety of U.S. communities in 2023. These flight tests will run through 2025.
"We’ll be flying over medium-sized cities, urban towns, and rural populations," said Ed Waggoner, program director for NASA’s Integrated Aviation Systems Program. "It will be representative of populations that will be exposed to these sounds."

NASA uses cameras with special filters (hydrogen alpha) to capture images of how supersonic planes move through the air and create booms. Credit: NASA

The X-Plane tests will fly over large 50-square-mile areas, giving NASA a diversity of Americans to survey about the low-booms they're hearing -- and if they notice them at all.
Today, civilian supersonic flights over land are banned. But once NASA gets feedback from the public, this information can be used to not just advise plane manufacturers in the U.S. of how to build low-boom planes, but engineers all over the world.
"One thing we hope this data will give the international community is that noise level," said Coen. "If your airplane produces less than X [sound decibels], it’s okay to fly over land."
