Karen, Karen, Karen . What are we going to do with you? Are you okay? What happened in your life to make you this angry? Let's try something out. I want you to close your eyes and take a deeeeeeeeeeeep deep deep deep ( deep) breath. Now imagine you've just arrived at your favorite brunch spot ten minutes before closing. The place is packed full of fellow Karens, but the host manages to find a table for you and your six friends. They could have declined to seat you, but they did anyway. Isn't th…

Happy Sunday, friends, enemies, lovers, whatever! We would say that we hope your weekend was enjoyable, but time is a construct and right now, in the deep of winter , 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 little mor…

Guys. We really need to know why it always seems to be 'where are the memes ? Give me the memes ! I need the god damn memes! ' but not ' how are the memes? It just seems kind of rude not to care about how they might feel about being swiped and redistributed as we see fit. They are flung into our group chats and casually uploaded to Instagram stories. Just think about it for a second. Nearly much every meme you have seen has probably been passed around without any regard for its psychological st…

Finally. Here in the Northeast the long and oppressive winter is beginning to loosen its grip on our poor, seasonal depression-addled sou ls. The sun is starting to pop out, the open-toe shoes are getting paraded around town, and teachers are starting to feel the restlessness that happens before school's out for summer. If kids think they have it hard, though, they need to get real and start thinking about their teachers. They deserve our pity. By mid-May, they're on the verge of insanity after…

Mix and match

A few nibbles

Memes aren't purely for entertainment. Memes serve many purposes. They're like little friends in your phone that cheer you up when you're feeling lonely or sad. They bring people closer together and they're a good excuse to DM a crush in a chill and non-committal way. The perfect meme will brighten up any group chat after an awkward silence. They're excellent for occupying dull moments you can't get out of, like waiting in a long line at the grocery store. If you're trying not to make eye-conta…

God. It has been a year. Or two. Or maybe even three. It feels as though I no longer have a grip on time. Perhaps it's because of the pandemic. Maybe it's because as you get older, time starts to move faster. But it could also be the crippling depression that makes a fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While the sunshine has slowly started to return to New York and peoples moods seem to be improving, I still can't help but feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I go about my day-…

I've never doubted the existence of extraterrestrials. It seems too pompous to believe we're the only intelligent life in this galaxy. But it seems that aliens are a pretty popular - and polarizing - topic. Just relatively recently the United States government confirmed several UFO sightings - and released footage. They have not ruled out aliens from their theories. But it's not like this news created a ton more interest in the possibility of extraterrestrials. There have been reported sighting…

All sorts

Hello there, dear internet friends. We don't want to sound rude, but we need to chat. It's not easy for me to say this. But listen. I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure we both know that you have probably looked and felt better. And we have been worried about you. This isn't really an intervention, but we need to know if life is getting you down. How is your sleep schedule? We're not experts here at Memebase, but it kind of seems like you are in need of a pause - a meme break, if you will. You can't hide…

Game over

It'll fly

It's Tuesday again. So let us greet you with a resounding "Happy Tuesday!" to make it feel like it's something to celebrate. While the day arguably sucks, at least we all have our weekly Lord of the Rings to look forward to. It really, truly is the highlight of my week to peruse the internet looking for Tolkien and movie references in memes . It's not a hard task, both because it's fun, and because Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook are filled to the brim with hilarious (and hilariously stupid) LO…

More funny

Everyone has their own preferred ways of seeking pleasure and wiling their spare hours away. Some people like to binge watch reality tv on their cozy sofas, surrounded by snacks and beverages. There are some folks who prefer to indulge in more productive activities, such as woodworking, scrapbooking, gardening or even baking a lovely loaf of tangy sourdough bread. Others still? They devote their spare moments to their nurtured talents. That could be a musical talent, writing, or even drawing an…
