Sorry not sorry, still love you thooooo

Every student has had this dreaded interaction with a K-12 teacher. "Can I use the restroom?" “I don't know, can you?” Not only is it unoriginal, but most children will not understand the grammatical problem at hand. That's because there is no grammatical problem with “Can I use the restroom,” and teachers who act like there is are simply in the mood to be pedantic. There is a specific Southern brand of this interaction that I remember vividly from elementary school. “May I use the restroom?” “…

The Harry Potter fandom was different before the movies came out. There was a unique stretch of time between 1997 and 2001 where nobody, and I mean nobody, knew how to pronounce Hermione's name. In hindsight, it's kind of difficult to believe that so few kids asked their parents how to pronounce the name of a main character from their favorite book series. She's a Shakespearean character, for crying out loud! The movies and the books have become so intertwined throughout the years it's hard to…

What no p***y does to a MF

They just don't stop coming

The name Dave Brandt may not mean much to some of you, but you've definitely seen him in memes. When we scroll through our feeds, whether at our desks when we're supposed to be working or at home when we're chilling, it's easy to forget that the faces of viral meme formats belong to real people. Dave Brandt was certainly a person, and it's with great regret that we report the farmer passed away on Sunday at the age of 76. Dave Brandt became an Internet legend thanks to the popularity of the ‘Bu…

Whose idea was this?

Believe it or not, the memes you consume daily are not presented to you in some totally random and unorganized order. Memes can be as highly curated as the paintings at a museum. Speaking of museums, I'm going to take a second to share my thoughts on the “immersive experience” versions of museums that have been taking the nation by storm over the past couple of years. I have never been to one, but they all give me such a dark-sided energy. Most of them look like they're just big empty rooms in…

Happy Tuesday, y'all. Today may not be my favorite day of the week, but it's one of my favorite days to work. That's because I get to indulge my nerdy side and collect a ton of Lord of the Rings memes for Tolkien appreciators such as myself. Every week hundreds of LOTR-related memes are shared on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram, and thanks to their creators, I can now share them with you. While I normally get a good chuckle or two during the process of meme collection, this week I actually lear…

Comedy gold from across the pond

Happy (day) Marvel fans and superhero heads! It’s that time of the week for another offering of Marvel memes. We’re currently in the preliminary hype month before two big Marvel releases, so let’s get started. First, just a little over a week away, we have the release of “Spider-man: Across the Spiderverse.” It goes without saying, but pretty much everyone is excited about this. A sequel to one of the greatest animated movies maybe ever, definitely top five superhero movies? Obviously, we’ll ha…

Tee hee

Anyone who has applied for a job in the past couple of years knows it's a very tricky process. So much goes into job hunting, and it's not as simple as being the most qualified person for a position. Job interviews sometimes feel like they're taking place in an alternate reality; how you articulate yourself must be carefully curated to make you sound like a good worker. It's unnatural, but it's a bare necessity if you're going to get a job. With remote work becoming far more common, competition…

A questionable idea
