Stolen valor taken to the next level

Here comes the divorce

Twitter is a wild place. As user @maplecocaine so brilliantly put it (way back in 2019), “Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it.” Today's it? Well, that would have to be Ned Fulmer of The Try Guys. The site was going wild over some rumors that the “wife guy” has been cheating on his spouse, meaning he is not, in fact, a wife guy. As much as we love internet drama (hint: it's a lot), we know that not everyone has the same taste for it. So we've rounded up th…

Whoops!

But they were too late

Remember when you first heard Billy Corgan sing "The world is a vampire?" Or are you Gen Z? Either way, the Smashing Pumpkins were right when they penned the tune back in the mid-'90s. It's really quite mind-boggling how little some things have changed since the advent of the grunge era. We are still feeling doomy as hell, hating the government, and feeling frustrated by the lack of opportunities presented to us and the rest of the non-billionaire class. If any music could capture our dissatisf…

Um, hey. Spoilers, obviously. If you've been watching HBO's House of the Dragon as obsessively as I've been, you'll know that last night they did a thing. They did a few things, really. And while there may have been that massive shift in terms of the cast, ( Emma D'Arcy replacing Milly Alcock as Rhaenyra, and Olivia Cooke replacing Emily Carey's Alicent) the same violence and misery remain as though ten minutes had passed rather than ten years. The beginning of the sixth episode greets us with…

The end of the weekend can be difficult. Energy is at an all-time low (at least it is on our Sundays) and almost any form of inane entertainment will keep us enraptured enough to forget about Monday's impending doom. You can turn on the television and get sucked into some series about a serial killer, or some wartorn country, and actually feel pretty good about your current station. Even if you're just scrolling mindlessly through your Instagram feed, it beats having to acknowledge that soon yo…

The nostalgia is strong with the people of the Internet. We're guilty of it, too. It's hard to escape the articles about millennials , ‘90s kids memes, and the nostalgic pictures of bygone products and customs that are constantly being shared on social media. While we miss Altoids sours as much as the next geriatric millennial, the incessant wistfulness is getting old. Instead of crying about the products of capitalism we used to enjoy, today we’re going to take a weird walk down a different me…

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…

We often highlight some of the funniest jokes that Twitter has to offer for those who normally wouldn't go near the bird website with a ten-foot pole. But it would be a lie to portray Twitter as anything other than a cesspool of horrific takes and the sort of cringe that can only come from brains rotted by the internet. For those of us sickos who can't get enough of social media's cringiest moments, @benner's thread is a goldmine of the worst tweets ever twote. Before you dive into this content…

Being an Airbnb hater is a big part of who I am and what I do. I distinctly recall being on a family vacation, waiting outside in freezing weather for over an hour for the owner of the apartment to give my family the key. The owner drove a moped and I could tell that he did not feel sorry, not one bit. The best Airbnb experience I had was at a place virtually identical to a hotel, and honestly, that doesn't even count. Despite my bitterness, Airbnb's used to be novel and fun as a concept for mo…

What upppp internet explorers?! Thank god it's Friday, am I right? We don't want to get in trouble for this, but let's be real: Fridays are kind of a fake workday. It's hard to get anything done when you're anxiously awaiting the end of your shift. By the time 6 pm rolls around, you're wondering why you didn't get more done but don't care enough to work late to finish the job. That's what Sunday night is for. Anyway, one of our favorite ways to procrastinate on Friday is by scrolling through Tw…

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…

The older you get, the trickier money gets between friends. As some of our pals excel in the money-making department, others fall behind. Sometimes it's because they're woefully irresponsible - they buy drugs with their pay, or drink and gamble it away. Other times it's because they have focused on less lucrative job opportunities. Many of my friends, for example, consider themselves musicians first and workers second. And while they create incredible art and feel gratified by the hours they sp…

Everyone's the perfect parent …until they have kids. That's the hot take a lot of parents express when they find people commenting on and criticizing their parenting techniques. I think there's some truth to this sentiment: I can't even imagine how difficult it is to raise a real human person. However, that doesn't mean that parents, especially those who make weirdly invasive social media posts documenting every part of their children's lives, are exempt from any criticism. Far from it, actuall…
