President Obama speaks next comedian Keegan-Michael Key playing “Luther, Obama’s anger translator” at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in 2015. (YURI GRIPAS/AFP/Getty Images) The White House correspondents’ dinner is on Saturday night, and even though it’s the last one of the Obama administration, you can expect much the same routine: Red carpet, dinner and the much-anticipated comedy routines from the president and an actual comedian. (This year, it’s Comedy Central “Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore.) As usual, it’s much more comfortable to be on your couch than packed between the masses in the Washington Hilton, so here are all the ways you can tune in: [The single best joke told by every president, from Obama to Washington] When does it start and when does it end?  This is C-SPAN’s big night, and the channel kicks off coverage at 6 p.m. with red carpet arrivals. The action dies down with dinner around 7:30 p.m. The schedule says P...

Keystone/Getty Images Claude Shannon, a mathematician at the Bell Telephone Laboratories, with an electronic mouse which has a 'super' memory and can learn its way around a maze without a mistake after only one "training" run. He transformed digital computing and electronic communication Claude Shannon, nicknamed “the father of information theory” for his work on digital computing and electronic communication, was also ajuggling unicyclist who would have turned 100 on Saturday. To mark his birthday and his achievements, Saturday’s Google Doodle honored Shannon, depicting him juggling a set of ones and zeroes, the numbers he used to transform computing after learning they could be used to represent words, pictures, videos and more. While he was a research assistant at MIT, Shannon drew from Boolean algebra to pioneer digital computing, using the value of “1” for circuits turned on, and the value of “0” for circuits that were off. Before Shannon moved ...

d with the 13th pick  in the NFL Draft, the team that plays in the drug gateway of America selects Laremy Tunsil. The Ravens reportedly took  Tunsil off their board when the video of his smoking pot in a gas mask surfaced shortly before Thursday night's first round. This is the same franchise that called fiancé-slugging Ray Rice “a great guy.’’ This is also the same franchise that honors Ray Lewis, who was involved in a double murder. And everyone thinks Jim is the nutball Harbaugh? The 30-second video,  which showed Tunsil smoking from a mask equipped with a bong, was posted to his verified Twitter account before quickly being deleted. Tunsil had been considered a potential No. 1 pick. But after the video went viral, Tunsil was looking at 4-20.  A screenshot showing a portion of the video of Dolphins first-round pick Laremy Tunsil smoking a bong, which was posted shortly before the start of the 2016 NFL draft.

Drake—the so-called Six God, and today’s bottom-starting king of the rap game—has spent the better part of the last two years proving himself to be placeless. There he was, on  What A Time To Be Alive , a mixtape so infused with Atlanta rapper Future’s trademark codeine-cyborg purring and a particularly booming production style that Drake sounded more like a boisterous understudy; there he was on songs by West Coast rappers like Y.G. and The Game, sounding at home on the marauding basslines and taut snares that help define a certain kind of Los Angeles sound; there he is on a remix of “Ojuelegba,” a song by Nigerian rapper Wizkid, and there he is shrieking in gleeful patois on “Shutdown,” from grime icon Skepta, whose U.K. label Boy Better Know recently signed October’s Very Own. Heck, Drake even put out a straight-up bachata song, crooning in crisp Spanish alongside Romeo Santos, the king of the sweet Lat...

Formation, night 1.  (Photo: Frank Micelotta, Invision for Parkwood Entertainment) Hold up, they don't love us like she loves us. Beyoncé 's Formation World Tour kickoff in Miami on Wednesday night was a glowing celebration of love between sisters, between idols and their worshipers, and to a lesser extent, between partners. Because while many spectators likely entered  Marlins Park  with the saga of Bey, Jay and Becky on their minds, it couldn't have seemed farther from the performer's. Over the course of her marathon 30+ song set, she sang plenty of love songs -- she does make them better than nearly anyone else in pop. But while the dominant narrative of Beyonce's last arena tour, 2011's On The Run jaunt with Jay Z, was the couple's married bliss, the  Formation tour's ambitious first night was a thank you present to fans, executed with her new girl gang at her side. So now that t...

A Sussex scientist is the topic of the world-famous Google Doodle today (Thursday April 28). The Doodle appears at the top of Google’s search page and today marks the 162nd birthday of Hertha Marks Ayrton. A Google statement says: “Today we celebrate her legacy as engineer, mathematician, physicist, and inventor, her impact still rippling through the scientific community.” However, there’s some confusion over where in Sussex she died. A YouTube video, Wikipedia and some other websites says she died from blood poisoning on August 26 1923 at New Cottage, North Lancing. But other websites, including other Wikipedia pages, say she died in Bexhill. Wherever in the county she did pass away, her work is recognised as pioneering. She was an engineer, mathematician, physicist, and inventor and was awarded the Hughes Medal by the Royal Society for her work on electric arcs and ripples in sand and water.

The same goes for Jay. He’s been nothin...
