250 words of nothing

The year is 2050. Microsoft announces its tenth stage of pre-production for The Elder Scrolls VI with a still image of a misty pond in the woods. Geriatric Scrolls fans lose their damn minds (again). You think I'm joking, but it's a completely plausible scenario. But don't cry just yet—we've got memes! Lots and lots of Elder Scrolls memes! Just keep scrolling. Scroll the pain away.

It's finally here. The weekend. Many of you might be going shopping for the holidays , or getting cozy at home making some kind of project meal. I decided that I'll be making my dad's famous chili. It's a flavorful dish full of chunks of braised beef, two kinds of beans, and at least four kinds of peppers. The only problem is I'm not just doing this for fun. I'm doing it because I'm stuck in the house with Covid-19. I'm willing to bet that there are others like me, struck down after a family an…

Spotify dropped its yearly Wrapped feature on Wednesday, November 30th this year, and though it's only been available for two days, the memes and tweets just keep on coming. The yearly event provides users with a cute little slideshow of their listening data. It's only available on the app, and is predictably flashy in its design so that users will be compelled to share all their darkest music-listening secrets on other apps. This year, my Wrapped wasn't exactly embarrassing, but it wasn't “coo…

“I'm gonna offer a free service to all of these home goods stores—I will go through your Chanukkah section and find your Christmas stuff and take it out. I will help you with this!”

Hello again, friends! It is high time for us to celebrate. We've nearly made it through yet another fabulous week on our illustrious planet Earth. How does it feel? Well. I'm honestly drained as hell and feel like the life (and what was left of my joy) has been violently and unforgivingly take from of me. And somehow, the long weekend hasn't really helped my mood. How many days off does it take to feel good? The weekly therapy sessions can only do so much to help quell the symptoms of the thank…

Plus: the obligatory Elon Muskdate.

Sometimes you just have to allow your child to wreck the place so you can get a moment—don't worry, every parent has done it.

Traverse the memes.

With social media , it’s the people that use it who make or break the experience. The number one reason most of us are addicted to these dumb little glowing screens is the completely deranged behavior that others display on the internet. If that doesn’t sound relatable, then you’re probably the deranged one — but hey, at least everybody in this situation is being kept entertained. Sometimes it can seem like a mistake that it was ever allowed for complete strangers to interact with each other on…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a Bonafede cultural juggernaut at this point. Pre-pandemic, it seemed like Marvel could do no wrong, and the brand's influence knew no bounds. After a couple of “flops” by Marvels standard coming out in 2021, it's hard to know what the future of the brand looks like. Will they ever be able to top Endgame ? Is that what they should be attempting? Will Disney+ be the death of the MCU? Is this

Roll for memes

We are living in the golden age of comedy murder mysteries with an ensemble cast . Particularly the Knives Out cinematic universe and the HBO series, The White Lotus . It seems like everyone wants these movies and shows (respectively) to go on forever with an ever-rotating cast of characters, keeping Daniel Craig and Jennifer Coolidge employed forever. I definitely have some opinions about who I'd like to stay at a White Lotus location next. My list includes, but is not limited to, Patti Harris…
