Whether you live in a city or a suburb (or maybe even somewhere more rural) chances are you're at least somewhat acquainted with your neighbors. Well, if they're not total maniacs who give off threatening auras. As much as I like my human neighbors, I'm far more excited about their pets. And you bet I know everything from their names to their favorite snacks and allergies. My boy Ash (gorgeous male tabby) who lives downstairs happens to be the brother of my own cat. He loves a Churu treat almos…

Use your five minutes wisely!

Wes Anderson's signature style has made him one of the most recognizable filmmakers of the last century. The color, the symmetry, the absolute twee-ness of his works are all trademarks of his thirty-year career. Most recently, Anderson released a trailer for his predictably star-studded new feature, Asteroid City. With a mix of huge names like Tom Hanks and Steve Carrell, and Wes Anderson regulars such as Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson, it's sure to be a Hollywood hit. The compelling…

The slog continues

Twenty years ago, parenting books used to be where it was at. Parents who had a million questions about how they should raise their kids didn't go around posting about it on their MySpace pages. They went to Borders, Books A Million, and other now-defunct stores and bought a bunch of books about it! While not all parenting books are written by experts, they're at least a bit more inherently trustworthy than strangers on the internet . When I was a kid, all of the adults in my life told me to be…

If you're the kind of person who spends countless hours scrolling through memes and forgets to take care of yourself, you're not alone. Memes are addictive, like potato chips; once you start, you can't stop. As humor experts who use memes to cope with anxiety and depression , we know how comforting they can be. But if you're using them to avoid confronting your issues, it might be time to consider therapy. Looking at these "therapist memes" and relatable tidbits about mental health won't solve…

Sending tweets to my friends is one of my passions. I love seeing a tweet in the wild, being reminded of one of my close personal friends, and swiftly sending them that tweet. It's my way of letting them know I'm thinking about them. Even when we're sitting in the same room, I prefer to send my friends tweets instead of reading them out loud. When you send others tweets, you're more likely to get a positive reaction than when you start reciting a tweet unannounced. I can't tell you how many tim…

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…
