Some mistakes were made this past weekend. What was supposed to be a chill day at the beach followed by a fun show in a basement turned into an all-out mezcal-soaked bacchanal that lasted until the sun was coming up. Unfortunately, I can't party like I used to, and I'm still feeling the consequences of my reckless actions. Whenever my brain isn't operating at the level I'd like it to be, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill time to start working to its best ability, ev…

If you're feeling drained by the world and, like, everything, you're not alone. We're all well aware of the turmoil facing most of the globe, be it pandemic-related, war-related, or violence-related. When times get tough and you fall into another doom-scrolling episode, it's best to try to press pause, take a deep breath, and do something that makes you happy. For us, that often means scrolling through something happy. The activity serves as a sort of palate cleanser in the face of the crap tha…

Woah there

Maverick's in theater's now, but 'Top Gun' has been producing top tier memes since the invention of the Internet.

Stick it where... the sun does shine?

If you've spent any time on Twitter (or the ‘bird app' as we like to call it) then you know that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the material that people see fit to catapult into the Twitter abyss is either cringe worthy , offensive, or and maybe even both. There's also a wealth of tweets that are so basic they actually make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a zillion times or offer up banal sentiments…

Freedom?

Social batteries run real low sometimes

Andrew Tate is getting de-platformed, and it has already been meme'd to death. For the uninitiated, Andrew Tate is an influencer who has gained an insane amount of traction online over the past couple of months. Tate's videos have been heavily criticized as misogynistic, as he frequently describes his strategies to control and pick up women in shocking and violent ways. His content is essentially a continuation of MGTOW and pickup artist content that was more popular about five years ago. His p…

There is a lot going on right now in the realm of fantasy television. This past Sunday, HBO debuted its Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. It's been receiving good reviews - and enticed a whopping 10 million viewers during its premiere, making it HBO's largest premiere in history. Next on the roster? None other than The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The show has inspired a lot of discourse, and obviously, a whole lot of memes. Both the shows include BIPOC actors, and a…

It's easy to see why

Happy Monday, friends, enemies, lovers, whatever! We would say that we hope your weekend was enjoyable, but time is a construct and right now, at the very end of the summer, it feels like we're living a pretty freaking Sisyphean existence. One of our only forms of respite is to try to distract ourselves from that terrible, painful truth, and to inject some joy and maybe meaning into the monotony before we head back to the grind. This weekend, at least in the United States, some of us have a lit…

It's not a crime to be sappy. While I may seem to have a hardened exterior if you catch me on the street, I'm probably thinking sweet things about my cats, my boyfriend, or my family. As long as I'm not heading to work. Then I'm thinking about murder. These days, people tend to enjoy memes that are a bit self-deprecating . The memes we love feature dark humor and truths about the state of the world we live in. And wholesome meme s tend to veer on the side of cute animals and drawings. They don'…

You used to be a Tumblr girl, but now you're an antacid girl.

Texas is its own cultural juggernaut in a way that very few states are. Some people might lump Texas together with states like Alabama and Mississippi, calling it just another part of the deep South. Those states are “The South," but Texas is Texas. Texas was its own country from the years 1836-1845. Texas is so big you could drive in it for 6 hours and still be in the same state. What other state can say that?

Let's be honest…it's probably been a while since you've read Catcher in the Rye. If so, no worries, the fine people at GoodReads have summarized the novel in a way that both sparks memory, but doesn't give too much away. “It's Christmas time and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school. Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters—shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Par…
