The future of Harry Potter movies is unclear, as the Wizarding World's biggest spinoff series has been nixed. This week, it was reported that the rest of the Fantastic Beasts series is being quietly canceled due to the lackluster financial performance of the last film and Ezra Miller and J.K. Rowling's respective scandals. In all honesty, I'm not that mad about this. Fantastic Beasts was a weird series, and I somehow got through it without caring about a single one of the characters. I feel lik…

My perception of time and how it passes has been pretty muddled these days. Spending these long hours at the old work desk can make it feel like our free time seems is slipping through our fingers at an impressive speed. The truth, however, is that we never owned any of our time to begin with. When you factor in your job, soul-crushing responsibilities like chores, and caring for our families, there's an alarming lack of seconds that we are able dedicate to self-care. That is a pretty serious p…

When this patient walked up to the receptionist to try and make an appointment they were told that appointments could be made over the phone only, so they whipped out their phone and called the doctor's office right in front of the receptionist. Bureaucracies are an inertant force and dealing with them can be like dredging sludge off the ocean floor. Their entire existence serves to slow penetration and discourage inquiries from advancing any further than they need to. In favor of the reception…

I just absolutely love waking up each day, wondering how the hell Elon Musk will manage to screw Twitter up more than he already has. And by screw it up, we kind of mean make it better. Because while some people may think they're tired, the parody accounts are simply killing it lately. And by killing it, we kind of (definitely) mean causing predatory companies to lose a f*ck ton of money. Anyway. We know that not everyone enjoys watching annoying people freak out about the inevitable demise of…

This insurance guy was approached by a recruiter for an insurance sales position at a company. Despite his repeated protests that he was overqualified for the role they were hiring for, they refused to take no for an answer and aggressively entered him into the interview process. As the interview progressed, it became increasingly clear that the hiring managers had no idea what they were on about. They repeatedly handed him wrong information and asked him to do things that he knew were complete…

Post-workout nap time

Just add salt

There's nothing more annoying as a programmer than being asked to make quick little changes. The people asking for these changes usually mean no harm. All they really want is for their vision to be actualized to its greatest potential. Unfortunately, their vision is extremely annoying actually to make. Like in many industries, “idea guys" are a dime a dozen.

Enjoy

We've been through a lot of traumatizing historical events, please be nice to us...

The list is long

Unlike humans, animals don't necessarily have to perform in order to entertain others. A goofy-looking cat who transitions awkwardly between sleeping positions can potentially inspire more delight in a person than a professional comic with years of experience and practice. No one bats an eye when I wash my hair, but a shampooed cow? Standing ovation. Even the most painfully low-effort memes can fully recover if they feature a funny or adorable animal. That said, we've rounded up a glorious coll…

What were they thinking

The weekend is too far away, per usual.

Ever since we started that innocent two-week stint of staying at home in 2020, the discourse surrounding the merits and negatives of working from home. While I obviously hate Covid-19, working from home has been a godsend. I can work while petting my cats, take breaks to do HIIT workouts, and make my own lunch, which is invariably healthier than whatever crap I'd be ordering in to eat at my desk. Then there's the issue of the commute. I spend 2+ hours getting to and from my office. Am I paid fo…
