One of the biggest moods of 2018 was a doll.
But not just any ol’ doll – it was Qai Qai, the rather witty and cynical companion of Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., daughter of tennis champion Serena Williams and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
Between engaging in memes and generally pondering life, Qai Qai has embarked upon many an adventure with her human guardian, often sitting courtside at Williams’ many matches — all of it posted to the doll’s total 106K followers on Instagram and Twitter.

Video game music is a largely (but not entirely!) untapped treasure trove for the gymnasts of the world.
Brigham Young University gymnast Shannon Hortman-Evans took to the floor on Friday night to perform an impressive routine at a meet against the University of Utah — to the tune of the Super Mario Bros. theme.
Unfortunately, the music is a little hard to hear over the commentators, but you can still catch little pieces of it here and there, including some parts of the main theme, coin noises, and the tune that plays when Mario grabs a Super Star. Read more…
