The Interrupting Bus Is The Best New Sports Meme

It’s blowing up.

After 25 years as the epicenter for southern sports, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta was imploded on Nov. 20. It was the only stadium to host the Olympics, Super Bowl, and Final Four. When it was built, it was the largest covered stadium in the world, but now it’s been replaced by Atlanta’s shiny new Mercedes-Benz Stadium — an adjacent structure that’ll eventually cost taxpayers over $700 million.

The implosion of the dome caught the world’s attention on social media and not just for the spectacular way it collapsed. A cameraman from the Weather Channel had the perfect angle on the implosion, but a MARTA bus pulled in front of the camera right as the explosives went off, obscuring the shot. Only when the structure had been completely razed did the bus pull away.

The video of the cameraman groaning and spouting off expletives was an immediate hit online.

After video of the interrupting bus spread, memes began popping up online of the unassuming MARTA bus driving in front of some of the greatest moments in recent sports history, from Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary to Kerri Strug’s amazing performance at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Will the interrupting bus eventually beat out Crying Jordan as the king of sports memes? Or will it drive off into the sunset all too soon like the dome itself?

10-year-old girl goes viral with soothing virtuoso song on her 'UFO' handpan drum

A 10-year-old musician named Sprites has gone viral for her incredible performance on the handpan, a percussion instrument that produces evocative and soothing tones. People are (rightly) amazed by her virtuoso skills and the creativity of her original song—one of many shared to social media by her parents, including her father, gaming music artist TheFatRat.

The clip shows Sprites—who, impressively, has only been playing since March 2025—vibing through a dreamy and rhythmically rich pattern while hanging out on the floor. According to her mom's caption, the performance happened after a three-week trip, during which she brought along two other handpans but left this particular one (nicknamed "UFO") behind. "After coming back home," she wrote, "she immediately went to play her UFO and she completely fell in love with it again."

These are the saddest songs ever recorded according to science and fans

It is impossible to objectively determine the single saddest song ever written. Music is subjective. One person might find comfort in a folk song about the apocalypse while another finds dark humor in a punk song about heartbreak.

Sadness lives in a nuanced zone beyond hard science. But that has not stopped researchers from trying to quantify it.

It sounds like the plot of William Golding's Lord of the Flies. However, in the mid-2000s, it was a very real and very controversial reality television experiment.

Footage from the UK Channel 4 documentary Boys and Girls Alone is captivating audiences all over again. It offers a fascinating and chaotic look at what happens when you remove parents from the equation.

Can’t stop replaying conversations in your head? Here's how to finally shut them down.

It happens to the best of us. You are trying to fall asleep, but your brain decides it is the perfect time to replay a conversation you had three days ago. You analyze your tone. You cringe at a specific joke that didn't land. You script the perfect comeback you wish you had said.

Usually, this fades after a few minutes. But for some, the tape never stops rolling.

New study suggests compassion, patience, and self-control are great 'selfish' choices for your own happiness

Virtues such as compassion, patience and self-control may be beneficial not only for others but also for oneself, according to new research my team and I published in the Journal of Personality in December 2025.

Philosophers from Aristotle to al-Fārābī, a 10th-century scholar in what is now Iraq, have argued that virtue is vital for well-being. Yet others, such as Thomas Hobbes and Friedrich Nietzsche, have argued the opposite: Virtue offers no benefit to oneself and is good only for others. This second theory has inspired lots of research in contemporary psychology, which often sees morality and self-interest as fundamentally opposed.

Neurologist explains why 'novelty' is a brilliant workout for your brain's health

If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, it grows stronger.

Of course, muscles only grow when the challenge increases over time. Continually lifting the same weight the same way stops working.

Legendary folk singer Leonard Cohen said a monk helped free him from negative thinking

Even the most successful individuals can struggle with a negative perspective and find it challenging to achieve happiness. Legendary folk singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen once shared his own concerns that brought him to live in a monastery.

In a resurfaced video interview, Cohen expressed gratitude for a monk who helped free him from negative thinking. Through spiritual guidance, Cohen learned that his unfulfilled feelings about purpose and achievement were delusions of his own making.
