A lot of people have been talking about how Elon Musk ruined Twitter. While the dude is undeniably insufferable, we regret to inform these folks that the app has almost always been iffy at best. Sure, there's a lot to be laughed at (and learned about) on Twitter, but there's also a lot that scares us. Pompous incels spouting dangerous vitriol , political know-it-alls who love reading their own words, and those people who really, really need to touch grass one of these days. To say that Twitter…

Let's get weird!

Highway robbery.

Tell me if you've heard this one: "I'm going to have kids early so I can enjoy my 40s and 50s." Or what about this one: "I'm going to wait until I'm 30 to have a kid so I can enjoy my twenties." These lines of reasoning are predicated on the notion that having kids is not enjoyable and is something you want to be relieved of eventually or postpone. I have little qualification to speak on this: I am not a parent, and who knows what the future of parenthood will look like for me. But I hope that…

“What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” If you're not familiar with Shakespeare, this quote is meant to assert that names (like Montague or Capulet) are actually irrelevant and that it's the nature of a person (or object) that truly matters.

Not sure if it's just me, but life is feeling a little bad. The whole damn universe is feeling a little bad. And when things feel bad, it's to be expected that we might want to drop all our money on clothing and bric-a-brac we probably won't even like for more than a week. But don't feel too guilty. We're here to support you in the quest to fulfill your most frivol ous, time and money-wasting urges. Because it is actually okay to treat yourself to that greasy breakfast every once in a while, ev…

Greetings, internet users and abusers. It's hump day which means we should feel a little bit of time-related optimism as we're supposed to be halfway through the week, or getting over the proverbial hump. Unfortunately, for many of us, time seems to move more slowly the closer we get to Friday, so the respite of the weekend feels like it's eons away. To make this time move more quickly, it's good to have an array of distractions to get you through the week. For me, it's been tough because I jus…

Who wouldn't?

It seems like AI has totally blown up over the past six months. I remember when I first started working at Memebase, DALL-E AI-generated images were all the rage on Twitter. Personally, I thought those images were extremely cool because they could really accurately encompass the prompt. As time has gone on, AI art has become even more ubiquitous online, and it's gotten better and better. The hands for most pieces are still blurry, and they're nowhere near as sophisticated as some types of deep…

The Twitter discourse that never dies

Silliness is one of the most important qualities a person can have. Nobody likes someone who is super serious 99% of the time. I feel like I'm at my silliest when I'm doing childish activities . For example, my family and I saw the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person this year. I had never really loved watching it on TV because I was more of a dog show person, but when I saw those giant balloons with my own two eyes, my inner child was freaking out. Every time I saw a new balloon peeking a…

Happy Thursday, friends, lovers, and Internet addicts. It's only been a few days since we updated you with a bounty of fresh tweets, but we're back with more. It's been quite a week on the “Bird App.” I learned about Hobo Johnson, and wish I could get the minutes I spent listening to that garbage back. Somehow, the artist has been trending for nearly a week. Add that to the Andrew Callaghan allegations , gas stove drama, and various forms of rabid rants, and we're almost ready to deactivate. Ju…

Little kids are so funny. Based on my highly biased calculations, the average kid is 10x more comical than the average adult. Kids are blessed with the gift of comedy for multiple reasons. For one, they are given the freedom to be silly. Unfortunately for us adults, there are not a lot of opportunities to be goofballs in corporate America. If you're not silly at work, you have less time to be silly at home, which cuts down your daily silliness quota by at least 60%. Kids also aren't yet experts…

How many days until February?
