    Best Texas treehouse, panda nanny needed, Michael Jackson reincarnated

    Best Texas treehouse, panda nanny needed, Michael Jackson reincarnated
    play icon

    Editor's note: There's so much that's beautiful, funny, smart and informative on the Internet. Problem is, there's also a bunch of garbage. Here's the best of the web right now:

    1. The world's best job is hiring: panda nanny. If you've been feeling like it's time to make a career change, then this new posting will likely push you right into the job-seeker pool. China's Giant Panda Protection Center needs nannies willing to spend a year with pandas "sharing in their joys and sorrows."

    2. Father-daughter lip-dub to Iggy Azalea is totally adorable. Cool dad Jesse Lozano doesn't just sing along to songs in the car; he does full-scale lip-dub YouTube productions, complete with props. It probably doesn't hurt that he's also a popular radio morning-show host in California.

    3. Time-lapse supercell video will strike the fear of Mother Nature into you. When you aren't caught in the middle of them, thunderstorms and natural disasters are frighteningly beautiful. Storm chaser/photographer Stephen Locke has created a jaw-dropping, three-minute time-lapse video of a May supercell in Kansas that will blow your mind.

    4. Take a look inside a tricked-out tree house in Texas. When you think tree house, you probably don't picture running water and a wine cooler. But Bobby Page turned his tree house into a man cave, complete with alcohol storage and a smoker.

    5. High schooler dancing to 'Bille Jean' might be reincarnation of Michael Jackson. Yes, the hologram was pretty dang cool. But it pales in comparison to the flesh-and-blood talent of 17-year-old Brett Nichols. The teen's fancy footwork is the spitting image of the King of Pop himself. (Nichols' performance starts at the 1:16 mark of the video.)

    An animal sanctuary in China is hiring panda nannies.

    Virtual reality gaming company Sandbox VR will be opening its first Houston location in 2026, combining the community and physical aspects of laser tag with the immersive environment of modern virtual reality video gaming. The location will open at 797 Sorella Court in CityCentre early next year.

    Houston has no shortage of group virtual reality and immersive gaming experiences, but Sandbox has established itself as one of the country's premier virtual reality venues with an impressive 65 locations naitonwide. The company boasts a number of celebrity investors, including Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Kevin Durant, and Will Smith.

    Sandbox partnered with LOL Entertainment, who operate a variety of similar attractions such as the Museum of Illusions and Time Mission, to drive this latest expansion that also includes Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C..

    "Houston's reputation as a hub for innovation and technology makes it a perfect fit for Sandbox VR," said Steve Zhao, CEO and founder of Sandbox VR. "The city's diverse, tech-savvy population and strong entertainment culture create an ideal environment for our immersive VR experiences. LOL Entertainment continues to exceed our expectations as a partner, and we're excited to bring our cutting-edge virtual reality gaming to Texas's largest city."

    Some of the games announced for the Houston location look spectacular. The Curse of Davy Jones pits players against ghostly pirates on a rickety galleon, while in Deadwood Mansion they'll battle hordes of zombies with rifles. Zack Snyder fans will get a chance to experience the world of the Rebel Moon Netflix film series in Descent, which allows gamers to fully-explore the gritty planet Daggus.

    Another game takes players inside the world of Squid Game. From dragons to aliens, there is something for everyone to shoot, and players can get support in multiple languages, including Arabic, Cantonese, Dutch, English, French, German, Mandarin, and Spanish.

    “We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Sandbox VR once again to bring their cutting-edge, immersive VR experience to CityCentre Houston, a destination that perfectly blends dining, shopping, and entertainment. It’s an ideal place to showcase the next generation of immersive experiences,” said Rob Cooper, CEO and founder of LOL Entertainment. “CityCentre offers the kind of high-profile, high-traffic environment that’s ideal for Sandbox VR. Securing this lease reinforces our commitment to strategically placing Sandbox VR in locations that maximize visibility and long-term growth.”
