Have y'all heard the big news? Well, I guess it's more like rumors. According to a report from Platformer , Elon Musk is now considering the idea of putting Twitter behind a paywall. The report reads that “One such plan might allow everyone to use Twitter for a limited amount of time each month but require a subscription to continue browsing, the person said.” Frankly, this is a terrible idea. People are already tweeting (a lot) about their dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's Twitter takeover. Mus…

“When baby is riding, the protecting people should company to insure the safety.”

It feels like one day we were going about our lives in early October, and Halloween was a distant event in our bleak futures. And then, suddenly, BAM! The entire internet was brimming with memes using the new-ish Spirit Halloween costume format. While people have been making this kind of parody meme since 2019, the format completely exploded this month - to the point where the company itself is in on the joke, and the #SpiritHallowmeme hashtag is now a thing. Spirit Halloween even tweeted a tem…

Sometimes this fleeting existence feels kind of pointless. You know, “life's a b*tch and then you die” type vibes. It really does feel as though this is meant to be a struggle, living tiny paycheck to tiny paycheck, while some person who says "yes" or "no" lives lavishly and luxuriously thanks to our hard work. While we try not to think of the sad reality in our day to day lives, it has become increasingly hard to ignore. But when the going gets tough, and reality begins crushing our poor, sad,…

We're all well aware that the Twitter hellscape has a lot to offer in the comedy department. Funny writers and aspiring humorists manage to craft short and sweet tweets packed with a whole lot of cleverness and publish them freely for netizens to enjoy. There's just one tiny problem: there is a whole lot of unpleasantry and even vitriol on the site as well. Political arguments, bad takes , and relentless trolls are ever-present. To save you from all that grossness and aggression, we've collecte…

One of the most pressing questions that have haunted friend groups for the past 30 years is, “which Seinfeld character am I?” Whether you're a Jerry, a George, an Elaine, or a Kramer is a difficult puzzle to solve, as we are all different Seinfeld characters depending on which friend group you're in. For instance, when I was 19 and one of the only people in my friend group doing standup comedy, I felt like Jerry. When I was a neurotic middle schooler who could not dance and had primarily male f…

Mamma mia

If you're a woman doing anything, the answer is probably "yes"...

I do not feel good. Why? Because it's been raining cats and dogs in New York. Even worse, it's become much too cold for my liking. As I write this I'm wearing 4 layers and am contorted into a position that nobody should be in while attempting to write. If I didn't have back problems before, I certainly have them now. But what are my options? Shivering at the crappy chair my old bosses purchased for the office? Falling asleep in the bathroom? Drinking all the beers that our office manager bought…

Wasting time should be easy. Lord knows it passes by all too quickly. But somehow, even when we have a million different technologies, apps, and services to help us procrastinate or wile away the hours, we still encounter roadblocks. While sometimes the roadblocks come in the form of a poor internet connection or a dead phone, more often than not we're simply faced with content that we either hate or simply couldn't care less about. Twitter is one of our favorite ways to scroll ourselves to sle…

I really hoped it wouldn't come to this. After months of refusing to take a stance, and weeks of watching, I have to say that I have a bone to pick with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. My expectations were never particularly high, but I was initially enraptured by the show. Amazon did way better than I thought they would. It soon became clear that the beauty of the series trumps the writing. I may have been able to overlook it at first, but the writing is straight-up bad. It's rife w…

Happy Sunday, freaks. Does anyone else feel the “ Sunday Scaries ” looming over their shoulder? I'd like to say it “couldn't be me,” but alas. Even when your job consists of staring at funny internet things, Monday isn't exactly a day I look forward to. Just an hour before I started typing this I was flabbergasted by the fact that it was already Sunday. Saturday was a blur of near-comatose recovery from the hell of the week before. Time flies when you're beaten down by existence. Anyway. If you…

Having fun on the internet may seem easy to most people, but it's really more complicated than one might thing. Boredom has a funny way of diminishing the creativity that helps one find something interesting to research, or perhaps a fun game to play. Then there's the fact that the internet is so inconsistent when it comes to humor and general entertainment. Take Twitter, for instance. The “bird app” was created with the intention that people would share short messages with groups of friends or…

“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…

Happy Tuesday, nerds! We're back in the work saddle and not really enjoying it. But thems the breaks. At least we're completing our favorite assignment: collecting a wealth of Lord of the Rings memes for people who really like Lord of the Rings memes . We know many of you are against Amazon's foray into the world of Middle-Earth, but alas - there's no escaping the memes. Some are just against the show, others use its stills to comedic effect. If you're avoiding very minor spoilers or simply can…

Sometimes it feels like everyone I know is detrimentally caught up in productivity and being busy. I don't know how to tell y'all this, but it's not some kind of badge of honor to bring up when talking with friends or family. "Oh my god, I'm so busy right now, when will it all stop?" they say to their peers when they're asked about how they're doing. Only it's not just "right now." After a while it starts to feel like that answer is all anyone has to say or wants to talk about. Busy has become…
