One of the most popular stereotypes about parents is that once someone has kids, something shifts in their brain that makes them feel like the most esoteric person alive. They smugly remark on how different the world looks now that they've got kids, implying that they've got something far more important in their lives than anything a childless person could be doing. Although I understand how annoying this can be for those of us on the receiving end of this smug, I kind of get it. I cannot imagi…

These are cool, we promise

Twitter never sleeps

Yee-haw, I am totally the drama.

Zzzzzz

There's a new chatbot in town and it's unhinged.

When I'm feeling misanthropic, or just cranky as hell , I often think about the song “Break Stuff” by the seminal rap rock group Limp Bizkit. The group, who hails from Jacksonville, Florida, describes “one of those days” in an incredibly accurate fashion. Here are the lyrics: "It's just one of those days Where you don't want to wake up Everything is f**ked Everybody sucks You don't really know why But you want to justify Rippin' someone's head off No human contact And if you interact Your life…

As a connoisseur of memes, I am pretty good at being able to tell when memes are going in and out of fashion - especially animal memes. Dog and cat memes are always en vogue, something that any self-respecting world wide web user can attest to. But other animals have had their days as well. Trash animals, for example, have been meme mainstays for years, but seem to have fallen off a bit in the last few. As much as we love raccoons and possums, we were kind of ready. Then there were birb memes a…

Chicken soup for the posters soul

Twitter is like an uber-productive and relatively consistent joke factory. It's true that some of the time it churns out some real annoying crap that we try to avoid, but we can usually find some clever jokes, hot takes, and surprisingly astute shower thoughts at any point while doomscrolling through the app. Globally, there are over 206 million people who use Twitter daily , so the constant flow of content can feel kind of daunting, but that's why we curate some of the funniest and freshest tw…

Having a sense of humor is an invaluable quality. You don't have to be a brilliant standup comedian to know that! Comedy is highly beneficial if you're weak in other social skills. How many times have you heard the story of the class clown who was able to gain the respect of their fellow students through their sense of humor? I was 100% that kid when I was in high school. I took this John Waters quote extremely literally when I was a teen, and in some ways, I still do! "Anytime you make someone…

Mostly politics-free

It's okay to admit it. Everyone gets tired of the Internet at a certain point, or at least at some point during the day if your whole job depends on being on it. But more specifically, if you avoid Twitter and have never composed a short and sweet tweet , we really can't blame you. That sick universe can actually be surprisingly intimidating - or downright unpleasant if you say the wrong thing or scroll through the wrong part of Twitter. That said, we do enjoy indulging in the witticisms of the…

Valentine's Day brings many unique challenges to parents, depending on how old their kids are. If you have elementary school-aged kids, you've probably had to go to the store and buy way too many Valentine's Day cards for your kid's classmates. It's fun for the kids, but buying and assembling these cards can be a pain. If you've got some moody middle schoolers , you might be dealing with some candy-gram-related drama. Once you age out of classroom Valentine's Day parties, kids start to send eac…

If you weren't already ashamed of your crush on the mvrder0us antagonist before, wait until you see how charming he is on Twitter...

Spoiler alert: it's not right now. For the past couple of years, we've felt like the end of the world as we know it was always right around the corner. Things kept getting worse, and not to sound too optimistic, but things have generally been improving since 2020. I really don't think we can or will have a worse year than that anytime soon. Even though the end times aren't right now, I have to wonder when it will be. And, more importantly, will we have memes? During the little moment we had in…
