Sweet Dreams

As a connoisseur of memes, I am pretty good at being able to tell when memes are going in and out of fashion - especially animal memes. Dog and cat memes are always en vogue, something that any self-respecting world wide web user can attest to. But other animals have had their days as well. Trash animals, for example, have been meme mainstays for years, but seem to have fallen off a bit in the last few. As much as we love raccoons and possums, we were kind of ready. Then there were birb memes a…

If there's one author that we have all probably read at some point, it's William Shakespeare. I was such a fan of his that I took two Shakespeare courses in college and subsequently had to buy The Complete Works of William Shakespeare twice (my second professor required a different edition). I loved that Shakespeare's plays were so interesting to analyze. They weren't so challenging that I couldn't understand anything, but they were no walk in the park either. There's a reason he's one of the o…

She's so crazzzzzzzy!

Hey, I'm talking to you. Yeah, you, smarty pants. I saw you across the bar, and I couldn't help but notice that your aura oozes intelligence. I am also an individual of the smart experience so I can easily perceive things like this. Let me guess, when you were in elementary school, you were often lauded as “above average.” Hey, so was I! Wasn't it so great being better than all of those average normie normal people? Those were the days. My senses are also telling me that as you've grown older,…

Just tolerate it... 🧀

The perfect combo of hilarious.

Memes + internet = LOL

Everybody gets addicted to saying specific little phrases. 80% of my vocabulary comprises the words “werk” and “gorg.” It's so easy to fall back on cute little slang terms that they can come to define you. My friend Zack is addicted to saying the phrase “dudes rock.” He interjects it whenever he doesn't know how to respond to someone, especially when that someone is a dude. “Dudes rock” is a central tenant of this man's philosophy, and I cannot begrudge that. I don't say “dudes rock” often, but…

Food. Sure, we have to eat it to survive. But the acts of eating, cooking, and even simply buying food go far beyond function. Food brings people together, it's something universal that we share with one another. And while we all have our own food preferences and allergies, many of us use food to express love and affection for each other. When there's something to celebrate, we usually go out for a fancy meal or enjoy a home-cooked feast with loved ones. Food is an experience, it's culture, and…

Anyone who thinks chatbots will take over the world must get their brains checked for worms. The New York Times ran an article this week about Bing's A.I. chatbot having a two-hour-long conversation that revealed some allegedly alarming truths. First of all, anyone who is having a two-hour-long discussion with a chatbot is wasting their time. Also, if you think a chatbot saying it wants to be human is the beginning of the end of A.I., you're a fool. Chatbots are programmed to imitate humans' sp…

Chicken soup for the posters soul

Twitter is like an uber-productive and relatively consistent joke factory. It's true that some of the time it churns out some real annoying crap that we try to avoid, but we can usually find some clever jokes, hot takes, and surprisingly astute shower thoughts at any point while doomscrolling through the app. Globally, there are over 206 million people who use Twitter daily , so the constant flow of content can feel kind of daunting, but that's why we curate some of the funniest and freshest tw…

This man spent 14 years writing a book that nobody bought for 11 years. Now, 25 years later, it's a best seller in two weeks because of a viral video.
