We live in a time where it seems like convenience is at the forefront of literally everything. Instead of taking a leisurely stroll to the farmer's market and taking in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, people opt to use apps that will have another person do your shopping for you. Eating locally (and prohibitively expensively) never tasted so easy. Instead of spending your hard earned cash at local boutiques, book stores, and thrift shops when you need a gift for someone special - or s…

It shouldn't be controversial for me to say that we've been in an era of absurdist humor for some time now. I don't know where this taste for silly & goofy comedy originated, but Gen Z and Millennials can't get enough of it. I can tell that absurdist humor has swept the nation because of the Netflix show I Think You Should Leave . It is a sketch comedy show starring and created by former SNL writer Tim Robbinson, and it is just as wacky as you could imagine. Ask any Millennial or Gen Zer who th…

Stephen Sondheim said the following in his Pulitzer Prize winning musical Sunday in the Park with George. “There are only two worthwhile things to leave behind when you depart this world of ours: children and art.” Of course, this is not an objective fact. You could argue that there are many worthwhile things you leave behind when you die that go beyond those two rigid categories.

I wish I could be one of those people who could raw dog vision. By that, I mean the second you open your eyes, you can see the world without assistance from glasses or contacts . If you're a diva of the 20/20 vision experience, consider me officially jealous of you. I've worn contacts for 10 years now, and sometimes I have the creeping inner thought that I should just go and get my eyes zapped. The fact that there are lasers that can easily make your vision good in one foul swoop is so insanely…

Over the past few years there have been a lot of jokes about living in communal situations in cities like Portland, Oregon and New York City. We've seen people reject roommates based on their astrological signs (Sorry, Capricorns). We've seen memes about roommates with trust funds named ‘Sock.’ Today we are covering something that is entirely worse.

Every trad weirdo on the internet has a different idea of how women should be. Trad guys want to return to the traditions of some idyllic version of the past, but none can seem to agree on which historical time period they're longing for. As far as I can tell, there are two camps of trad wife fashion: 1800s levels of modesty and 1950s housewives . Podcaster and known sexist Elijah Schaffer posted a tweet this week claiming that even modest women get stared at in the streets and that society has…

It feels like a hundred years have passed since I first watched Mad Men, which, along with The Sopranos, seems to have altered the trajectory of television. I wasn't even 21 when the first episode aired, but it still made me want to swig whiskeys and martinis and chain smoke my way through the workday. The fact of the matter is that the behavior on the show, especially from Don Draper, is problematic. Because it is set in a different era, and I was really young when Mad Men first aired, it was…

Not all of us have enough brain cells to be tweeting in perpetuity, but there are plenty of people who either do or think they do. In this here gallery you will find a diverse collection of fresh tweets that range from nonsensical and humorous to thought-provoking and profound. Some of the tweets may make you laugh out loud, while others may leave you thinking “Why would anyone say this publicly?” But that's the beauty of Twitter - it's a platform for all types of expression, both good and bad.…

Hallelujah, it's the weekend. It's been a rough week for many of us. The days leading up to the holidays can be exhausting. The social pressures, and the money issues. The lack of time and the family stress. Everyone has their own most-hated bit of the weeks before the Christmas and Chanukah holidays . For me, it's buying gifts. My family is nearly impossible to buy gifts for. My mom always says she wants “peace and quiet.” She loves mezcal, but my Dad hates it when she drinks. She is very fuss…

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…

No offense

Delightful!

Reddit has a mediocre reputation depending on who you ask. So many non-Redditors believe it's an absolute cesspool of the worst people with the worst opinions imaginable. I myself believed that before I made my account. I had little to no faith that the website all of my friend's boyfriends were obsessed with would be a fulfilling experience. Those who've never taken a dip into the waters of Reddit themselves need to know that it's just like any social media. When you're a Redditor, you need to…

The golden age of parents on Twitter lying about the esoteric things their young children say has long passed us. Back in the ancient years of 2016 and 2017, parents were obsessed with tweeting things like, "My 3-year-old son came just up to me and said 'Papa, I have a childlike solution to great economic and social problems that will go viral instantly through the retweets of easily fooled rubes.'" Unfortunately for these parents, a lot of Twitter users have caught on to these unbelievably cor…

Fooled ya!
