In Case You Haven’t Heard, Tumblr Has Been Bought by Yahoo!

I say “in case,” because there were rumors of this last week, and Yahoo announced that they’d be announcing the purchase of Tumblr yesterday, and even when I turned on the radio this morning, it to hear legitimate news outlets attempting to talk about the ball of bizarre that is the Tumblr blogging platform.

Tom Hanks Is Developing an Animated Sci-Fi Series to Be Streamed on Yahoo! — Yahoo? Yes, Yahoo!

Two elements of this story are very interesting, indeed. The first part: Tom Hanks, under his production company Playtone, has created an animated science fiction series called Electric City. That’s fun enough all by itself, because if there’s anything we know about Tom Hanks, it’s that he creates great science fiction. We’re kidding.
