The way people who never lived through the 80s see that era represented in media is quite inaccurate. If I didn't know any better, I would think that in the 80s, everyone was wearing neon, leggings, tutus, and headbands at all times. In fact, I would've thought that attire was socially mandated. Luckily for me, I have been obsessed with the movie Heathers (1989) since I was 14 years old, so I'm quite acquainted with how boxy, and ugly 80s clothes could be. And don't even get me started on 80s h…

It’s that time of the week! Everyone’s favorite roastee, Elon Musk is trending on Twitter and waiting on your feed. But what’d he do this time? Appeal to Twitter Republicans? Run Twitter further into the ground? Post a 4/20 meme? Not quite, though we can’t rule it out of the immediate future. Today, Elon Musk experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly,” or in reality’s terms, his rocket exploded. This morning SpaceX launched its unmanned “Starship” in southern Texas which exploded around four…

It's easy to idealize the past when the present is, um, lacking. Maybe that's why nostalgia is so present in media. We're not just talking about those ‘90s kids memes . We're talking about all the music that

We're firm believers in the fact that people shouldn't need to feel guilty about wanting to look at memes or mess around on their phones. Life is short and often thankless. We're worked to the bone and are granted tiny scraps of time. Scraps of time that end up being devoted to exhausted binge-watching or, even worse, our endless lists of chores. If you want to spend your lunch break scrolling through memes instead of trying to cram more banal work in (like I'm doing right now), go for it. We'r…

Happy April 20th, everybody! Today is a beautiful unofficial holiday when potheads and weedheads everywhere get to smoke even more than they usually do. I don't judge whether people smoke weed or don't smoke weed . It's a personal choice for everybody, but there's one specific type of non-smoker that has baffled me ever since I met one. There is a not insignificant amount of the population that has never smoked weed solely because they want to work for the FBI or the CIA one day. If you're thin…

If there was a degree in procrastination, meme viewing would be one of the 101 courses. It's like the ultimate lazy man's hobby - all you need is a finger that can scroll and a brain that can handle a dose of randomness. See, the beauty of memes is that they don't discriminate - they're for everyone. Whether you're a high-powered CEO or a slovenly, wife-beater-wearing couch potato, memes will always be there to keep you company. They don't judge you for binge-watching TV shows or for finishing…

Memes do not age like fine wine. They age like a comedy from the mid-90s. If you've got a good enough eye, you can tell exactly when a meme was made and when it was popular online. When we consume memes, we've got the hivemind mentality where some memes are in style, and some memes are oh-so out. Let's take image macros, for example. For several years in the early 2010s, that was the only way a meme could be. Memes had to have bold white top text and bottom text, or else they were nothing more…

There's no way around it: Twitter has a tendency to feel like a Speaker's Corner on meth or maybe Adderall or Vyvanse. There are just so many inane thoughts being boldly flung into the Twitterverse at any given moment. The political rants, the TMI moments from oversharing individuals, the banal stories from bad or annoying mothers. That said, the app can actually be delightful when you manage to block out the Twitter slush and enjoy the rare comedic gems. It's taken us many years to block the a…
