One of the cool things about living in New York is that some institutions will reward you for being young. This probably isn't something exclusive to New York, but there are a lot of things to do here, and when those things are under $30, it makes it a lot easier. If you are under 35, you can get $30 tickets to Lincoln Center musicals, and I think that's pretty neat. The majority of the people in the audience are geriatric, and I am satisfied knowing they're paying full price while I spent the…

Twitter Blue is out in full force, and with that comes the Twitter Blue defenders. Many people are roasting those who've subscribed to this paid verification service, and they are getting a wee bit defensive about it. If I paid $8 a month for a practically worthless service, I, too, would get a bit defensive about it. One dude went viral for the oxymoron “I'm paying for free speech.” Others exalt the new feature as a way to find community and boost your tweets. Unfortunately, having a blue chec…

I miss Andor . It's a disturbance in the force that's been plaguing me lately. Despite my insistent scouring through the Disney+ menu, solace eludes me. Watching other shows like Beef or Top Chef (never been a huge fan of The Mandalorian) but none seem to fill the void left by the first season of Andor. The Star Wars prequel series, which chronicles Cassian Andor's adventures in the resistance, is one of the best TV shows I've seen in a long time. The action, suspense, and amazing soundtrack ha…

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was first released on May 1, 2002. That's over two decades ago, and yet Scrolls fans are still playing the game today. Young gamers who didn't even exist when Morrowind came out are probably making memes about the game and posting them to their Discord server's shitpost channel. Now if that doesn't mean the game has stood the test of time, then I don't know what does. Keeps scrolling to celebrate over 20 years of Morrowind with us.

Is it just me, or is the concept of an "unsolved mystery" redundant? A solved mystery is an oxymoron, which is precisely what we're going to get into. One of my favorite recently solved mysteries is the identity of the Zodiac killer. The fact that there was a guy walking around for years who looked so much like the sketches baffles me. My favorite part of this whole ordeal is that one of his friends posted a picture with him on Facebook with the caption “Zodiac?” and nobody even noticed. I know…

It's not every day you see a cat with a job, but if you asked my cat what her vocation is, she would probably tell you (in trill-y meows) that it's her job to supervise me whenever I take a crap. Then there are the famous bodega cats of New York, fixtures in delis where you can get discount cigarettes and a sandwich for $15 or less. Recently, we became acquainted with the ‘Cats With Jobs’ Twitter account. It's exactly what it sounds like: a lengthy archive of cats who are clearly working hard f…

As a millennial born in the late 1980's, I had the pleasure of witnessing some major cultural shifts, the most prominent being the advent of the Internet. While my early childhood was internet-free, as I got older I was introduced to both the wonders and horrors of the world wide web. And at first, I had to use dial-up internet to enjoy them. The haunting sound of dial-up internet booting up (and the anticipation that came with it) is just one of the many joys kids these days will never underst…

Time is a strange concept, as five minutes can feel like an eternity or pass by in a flash depending on how it is spent. For instance, waiting in line at the DMV or a crowded bar can make five minutes feel like an endless stretch, while enjoying a thrilling ride can make it feel like it went by in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, when used wisely, five minutes can be just the right amount of time. Taking a moment to pet your furry friend before heading out can be a great way to make the mo…

If you're a professional singer, you're not invited.

Sul sul! Bloo bagoo?

Do I believe in Bigfoot? The real question is, does Bigfoot believe in himself ? This creature is world famous. He's been a national phenomenon since the 70s. An entire section in my elementary school's library was devoted to him. He should be on Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon and all those Jimmy shows, but he's too much of a coward to show his face. I don't want to be too hard on Bigfoot. It must not be easy to live up to all of those documentaries. He's also got a good reason to fear Bigfoot h…

As a business owner, coming up with a solid name for your establishment is pretty damn important. You don't want to be serving burgers as a restaurant called “MacDonalds,” and you probably want to avoid something as basic as “Burger.” You can choose to reference what you're selling, or go by the name of a family member. Some hip spots will take the name of the business that failed at the same location (probably due to gentrification) or some twee combination of animal and tool, like “Stag and S…

Welcome to the new frontier of cat memes.

Good things come in large packages. If you think otherwise, you're a fool. When you're opening presents on Christmas and you see a big box, the first thing you wonder is, “what could someone possibly have gotten me in a box that big? I'm an adult and I usually never get presents bigger in size than Starbucks gift cards.” When the
