The way people who never lived through the 80s see that era represented in media is quite inaccurate. If I didn't know any better, I would think that in the 80s, everyone was wearing neon, leggings, tutus, and headbands at all times. In fact, I would've thought that attire was socially mandated. Luckily for me, I have been obsessed with the movie Heathers (1989) since I was 14 years old, so I'm quite acquainted with how boxy, and ugly 80s clothes could be. And don't even get me started on 80s h…

Reddit is not the enemy

In a perfect Coachella world, Frank Ocean fans and Blink-182 fans are one and the same.

Some bosses will literally hurt their own business before paying their employees what they're owed, and this redditor's story is a perfect example. When u/Longjumping_Bad9555 requested compensation for working sixty hours of overtime, their manager refused, arguing that the hours hadn't been authorized prior to the request. The thing is, OP was a reporter for a newspaper—the sort of high-paced job that doesn't often come with enough downtime to put in an OT request while chasing a news story. S…

Rough week?? For millennials, it's been a tough lifetime...

The dating game isn't an easy one. And sometimes, not even the most populous or most specified apps can help you find the companionship (or action) that you're looking for. When Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble fail you, and you don't have any friends setting you up, it's time to resort to some more creative tactics. While that means trying speed dating or signing up for a class for some people, others have some less honest tactics. That's definitely the case for TikToker @coyesimmons_ , who went vira…

Twitter verification is among the few things the bird website ever did right. People try to impersonate celebrities online constantly, and verification used to be an easy way to ensure someone was who they said they were. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and he got mad that journalists he disagreed with had the same blue check that he did. So, he introduced Twitter Blue so ordinary people could buy a Twitter verification for $8 a month. Everybody roasted it for the stupid i…

One of the most challenging parts of being a parent is the lack of sleep . Kids wear you down to the point of exhaustion and keep you up at night worrying about them. It's an incredibly unfair catch-22 of the human experience. My poor mother has been unable to sleep since I was born, and I wish I hadn't done that to her. I'm a sprite 23-year-old baby, so naturally, I've never had any problem with sleeping. I just know that if and when I pop a child out of my body, I'm going to stay up all night…

It’s that time of the week! Everyone’s favorite roastee, Elon Musk is trending on Twitter and waiting on your feed. But what’d he do this time? Appeal to Twitter Republicans? Run Twitter further into the ground? Post a 4/20 meme? Not quite, though we can’t rule it out of the immediate future. Today, Elon Musk experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly,” or in reality’s terms, his rocket exploded. This morning SpaceX launched its unmanned “Starship” in southern Texas which exploded around four…

It's easy to idealize the past when the present is, um, lacking. Maybe that's why nostalgia is so present in media. We're not just talking about those ‘90s kids memes . We're talking about all the music that

We're firm believers in the fact that people shouldn't need to feel guilty about wanting to look at memes or mess around on their phones. Life is short and often thankless. We're worked to the bone and are granted tiny scraps of time. Scraps of time that end up being devoted to exhausted binge-watching or, even worse, our endless lists of chores. If you want to spend your lunch break scrolling through memes instead of trying to cram more banal work in (like I'm doing right now), go for it. We'r…
