A gift to you

Things are constantly happening. Sometimes it's difficult to keep up with all the viral content and cultural moments, especially when your brain is on low power mode. It's only been a few days and the internet has shifted it's focus from pregnant Rihanna, to crypto news, to everything that happened at the Super Bowl, to Kanye West's weird beef with Pete Davidson...it's impossible to keep track of everything that goes viral. Don't you wish you could turn off the social media side of the internet…

Greetings, nerds. It's Tuesday again. It would be easily be the worst day of the week were it not for the immense joy we derive from supplying you with that weekly serving of Lord of the Rings content. If you're hardcore fans - or even if you just happened to have been watching Super Bowl LVI - you have probably seen the teaser trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power . While it was a short glimpse at the long-awaited (and for some, long-dreaded) series, it was enough to ignite eve…

What if your favorite album existed in the SpongeBob Squarepants universe ? Well you don't have to imagine, because someone's done it for you, and it's amazing. The Photoshop wizards behind Instagram account ‘ Albums of Bikini Bottom ’ have posted over one thousand SpongeBob -themed album art recreations since their first in 2019. That's pretty impressive for a shitposter, let alone an account making some very creative original content. We've picked out some of our favorites from @albumsofbikin…

Happy Tuesday, friends and frenemies. Another delightfully dull day on our fair planet Earth. The agony people feel at the beginning of the workweek can be palpable. And Tuesday, to us, usually feels like the worst day of the week. It can be a reminder of how we are chained to this grueling, arduous, and nearly automated schedule by capitalism and forced to take pleasure whenever we can get it. Which for some people means two days a week, and for some people it's far, far less. Yes, we see you,…

OK, I'll bite

Poets of the internet serving spicy roasts

The NFL's 52nd Super Bowl was memorable in many ways. For one, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on the Rams' home turf, but the game itself wasn't always the main focus on social media. The memes were all about this year's nostalgia-packed halftime show, 50 Cent hanging upside-down, Meta's super weird Super Bowl commercial, and some added generational gatekeeping for good measure. We've collected all of the most notable reactions and memes about Super Bowl LVI.

There is no way around it: Valentine's Day is a “Hallmark holiday." For those of you who are unfamiliar, Hallmark is a greeting cards brand that has been churning out the corny, pre-packaged sentiments since 1910. The company, which is based in Kansas City, Missouri, is the largest (and oldest) manufacturer of the products in the United States. You don't have to be based here to understand that “Hallmark holidays” are commercial creations. Hallmark started shilling cards for Valentine's Day in…

Good times

When there are a million tasks on your to-do list—like washing the dishes, making the bed, watering the plants, paying the phone bill, getting your car's oil changed, applying for a new job, calling your mom, returning that library book you've had for weeks but never read, deciding what to do with your life, working up the nerve to ask out the barista who always flirts with you, starting that Great American Novel you've been thinking about writing for years, finally admitting to yourself that j…

If you've ever zoned out of an entire conversation because the floral pattern on your friend's shirt reminded you of the time you forgot to send your grandma flowers for her birthday even though you'd set up multiple reminders for yourself, so instead you spent hours searching for singing Elvis-themed telegram services online (since your grandma loves Elvis so much), which somehow lead you deep into a rabbit hole of YouTube video after YouTube video featuring terrible performances by various El…

Dunning-Kruger in full effect

You know what they say. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play, and all that fun starts to lose it's luster. At the end of the day, it's all about balance. But balance is hard to reach when the stress and demands of everyday life are wearing you down. It almost seems like the hellish and grueling routine will never end. It's Sisyphean, if you will. While it is true that everyone need a paycheck , it really is not worth becoming a fried and burnt out drone in the name of capitalism…

As a sufferer of clinical depression and the unrelenting cynicism that comes with it, it's difficult to make me smile or laugh. Sure, puppies are cute. Yes, memes are funny. But these things just don't do it for me. I look around at other people - normal, serotonin-having people - and envy their hearty laughs at restaurants and the smiles plastered on their faces during the hectic commute. I'm not about to ask what the hell they're drinking or smoking. Instead I silently envy the ease with whic…

These memes take a walk on the wild side.
