Um, hey. Spoilers, obviously. If you've been watching HBO's House of the Dragon as obsessively as I've been, you'll know that last night they did a thing. They did a few things, really. And while there may have been that massive shift in terms of the cast, ( Emma D'Arcy replacing Milly Alcock as Rhaenyra, and Olivia Cooke replacing Emily Carey's Alicent) the same violence and misery remain as though ten minutes had passed rather than ten years. The beginning of the sixth episode greets us with…

WTF

The internet was so much simpler when everyone labeled anything slightly non-normative as “cursed.” Any image that did not depict the most normie, understandable, easily graspable concept was designed an affront to God or some kind of spooky

Lunch hour woes

Most jobs have pretty simple schedules. You go in during the morning, leave at night, sleep, and come back the next morning. Nursing is not “most jobs.” When you're a nurse, you could be working the night shift one day, and working a day shift another day. It really does a number on your circadian rhythm. Once you get a big girl job, you'd think you'd have a more consistent schedule, going in the same time every week and getting used to the admittedly strange hours you need to work. If you're a…

If you ask any Harry Potter fan what they think of Severus Snape , chances are you will get a strong opinion. However, get 100 Potterheads in a room, and there's a chance none of them will share the exact same take on Snape. Over the years, fan opinions have slowly but surely turned against Snape. While some still view him as a hero, it's a lot more common for people to see him as no more than a common villain who was needlessly cruel to an abused child because he still has a crush on his dead…

Revving up

Shady behavior

The end of the weekend can be difficult. Energy is at an all-time low (at least it is on our Sundays) and almost any form of inane entertainment will keep us enraptured enough to forget about Monday's impending doom. You can turn on the television and get sucked into some series about a serial killer, or some wartorn country, and actually feel pretty good about your current station. Even if you're just scrolling mindlessly through your Instagram feed, it beats having to acknowledge that soon yo…

Nothing more awkward

Yeesh

Who'd a thunk

The nostalgia is strong with the people of the Internet. We're guilty of it, too. It's hard to escape the articles about millennials , ‘90s kids memes, and the nostalgic pictures of bygone products and customs that are constantly being shared on social media. While we miss Altoids sours as much as the next geriatric millennial, the incessant wistfulness is getting old. Instead of crying about the products of capitalism we used to enjoy, today we’re going to take a weird walk down a different me…

What is there to give?

Unless you were blessed enough to go to school when “cool” gen X teachers used memes in their lectures while desperately trying to connect with the youngsters, it's novel to see memes used educationally. History and memes have some exciting things in common. Memes and history are constantly repeating themselves. Image macros Historical events occur, and most of them are quickly forgotten, with only a few juggernauts sticking in the public memory. If someone ran up to you on the street and asked
