It's fashion

Tabloids will say anything about a celebrity to sell a magazine to women waiting in line at the grocery store. They're not the most reliable sources regarding which star is rude and nasty. Luckily, we're not in the mid-aughts anymore, and social media has provided a platform for real people to expose rude celebrities for the menaces they are. If it wasn't for social media, we might still be in the dark about how mean Ellen was to her employees. When TikTok and Twitter users were asked about the…

Twitter verification is among the few things the bird website ever did right. People try to impersonate celebrities online constantly, and verification used to be an easy way to ensure someone was who they said they were. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and he got mad that journalists he disagreed with had the same blue check that he did. So, he introduced Twitter Blue so ordinary people could buy a Twitter verification for $8 a month. Everybody roasted it for the stupid i…

There are a lot of celebrity look-alikes that are well-established and highly documented. Everybody knows that Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood look like brothers. There are ten million actresses who have Margot Robbie vibes, most notably Samara Weaving. However, there are a lot of celebrities who look like each other that we don't tend to acknowledge. There are many reasons for this. Someone who's a fan of Megan Thee Stallion might not always know who Veronica Lake is and vice versa, making th…

Twitter is officially one year away from being a legal adult. I have been on the bird app (or, in the pre-iPhone days, the bird website ) for over half of its existence, so you'd think I would have a strong opinion about Twitter being around for 17 years. At this point, I'm just glad that Twitter is still managing to function. Elon Musk's purchase of the company appears to be the beginning of the end. The website is not getting any better, and Musk's plans to drive new users to the site seem to…

They can't keep getting away with this!

What does it mean to be ratio'd? I have had to explain ratio-ing to several internet-illiterate people in my life, but it always feels difficult to capture in words. There's something uniquely humiliating about a reply to your tweet or comment getting far more engagement than your original comment. One of the most intrinsic qualities of ratio-ing is that everyone points and laughs at the person getting ratio'd. It's even more humiliating now that this phenomenon has a name that everyone knows i…

What were they thinking

The legend persists

Like clockwork

They are trying

In times of crisis, cringe is inevitable, it seems. Especially on Twitter. Remember back in 2020 when Gal Gadot and a bunch of other Hollywood stars sang John Lennon's “Imagine” in one of the most impressive displays of cringe the internet had ever seen? Well it seems that influencers and celebs haven't learned a thing from that atrocity. They just can't help themselves. This week's Main Character is actor Dear Mister President Vladimir Putin… pic.twitter.com/LbDFBHVWJf — AnnaLynne McCord (@IAM…

New era, new ethnicity-related controversy

In the shallow and youth-obsessed society in which we live, many of us fear nothing more than the aging process. The fountain of youth is a finite resource, but some people seem to get way more access to it than others. Not coincidentally, they often have access to a lot of money, free time and great plastic surgeons, but that doesn’t stop the results sometimes coming as a surprise. This can be seen in the response to a recent photograph of actor and Ant-Man star Paul Rudd. Restaurant owner Asm…
