Ah, the dark and dreary days of early Spring . Here on the East Coast, the cold winter (and the accompanied deep, deep depression ) has rendered us into mopey messes with little to no energy or ambition. Big old blobs of lazy flesh that can't make good on their promises to finally cook dinners and lunches for themselves instead of ordering expensive takeout. Sad sacks that can barely find the strength to lift the remote control to change the channel or program you're binge watching. Recently, w…

Keep those cobwebs

Get to it

Happy Tuesday, y'all. We're back with another massive collection of fresh Lord of the Rings memes , the perfect antidote to any of the ennui you've been feeling. They're also a great antidote to anger, which we're feeling a lot of these days. There's something in the air. Anyway. This week's batch may spare us from mention of the Met Gala , but you will find references to other viral happenings, such as the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial, and Elon Musk buying Twitter . Thankfully,…

This viral kitty-turned-meme got its stardom several years ago—it's about time his doppelgänger responded!

It is not easy out there for a lot of memes. Are you familiar with that old Eskimo practice of sending their geriatrics away on an iceberg for their final adventure? Well, some memes go through the same experience. Seasoned memes that pop up time and time again are ignored by the internet users who once laughed at them. Four Loko photoshop memes are a pretty good example. Wholesome memes often fall into that category, too. We're not people who can just let the poor things go. We want them to be…

Such wisdom

Pincers at the ready

“ Nature is so cool and amazing” I say to myself as I sip my cold brew coffee and shut my laptop just as David Attenborough is beginning to explain how rapid industrialization led by the human species has done irreparable damage to the Amazon rainforest. I have a bad habit of turning Attenborough off when it starts to get depressing. I'm not proud of it, but what else am I supposed to do? I live in a city where watching two rats and a pigeon fight over a slice of pizza on a rare patch of grass…

Memes to share with the gang at Nance's potluck

All over the place

Every Friday, the 9-5ers of the world celebrate the arrival of a paltry respite from responsibility. And every Friday we seek to enhance that joy with a collection of the best Dungeons & Dragons memes to catch our eye this week. Sadly, my colleague who was dutifully collecting these comedic specimens has left for another campaign of sorts. I hope that my selections, and growing knowledge of the beloved roleplaying game, will do her justice. So without further ado, here are the best D&D memes we…

The internet can get a person into a whole lot of trouble if they're not careful. One minute you're innocently checking your work email and the next you're two years into your ex's Instagram, very carefully trying not to accidentally "like" any thirst traps even though you're creeping them from a burner account like an expert stalker. "Who am I?" you ask yourself as the shame permeates your entire being. It wasn't always this way. Before the internet, people sat around and tortured themselves w…

Escapism on steroids

They're baaaack

Contrary to popular (American) belief, not all news across the pond is about Brexit. It doesn't matter where you are in the world—a small town is going to report on small news, and a lot of it can be pretty amusing. Pie shortages, suburban turf wars, illegally imported sprinkles, old men yelling at clouds—global mainstream media could never top the charm of local news stories about ordinary people. Twitter account @CrapLocalNews does a great job of archiving all the weird and comically mundane l
