Fact: Not all Batmans were created equal. Sorry Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson, here's ironclad proof that the best Batman was and will always be Kevin Conroy (RIP).

Greetings, internet travelers. A wise person once said that variety is the spice of life, and if that is true, our lives need some serious spicin'. Every day has started to feel the same, thanks to the dullness of routine and responsibility. If your brain feels similarly slow and spent from entering figures into another excel spreadsheet or catering to another annoying Karen , it's safe to say that you deserve a little relief from all this earthly pain. If wealthy people are allowed to go on ja…

Where's the serotonin at?

I'm not feeling so hot. It's hard to pinpoint one reason for this ennui. But a quote from a wise hobbit man comes to mind when I think about my current state: "I’m old, Gandalf. I know I don’t look it but I’m beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin… sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don’t expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to." Yeah, it's a sad day when I'm quoting the fictional character Bilbo Baggins in relati…

Twitter has almost always been a controversial zone. Over the past few years, it feels like it's gotten…worse. Worse in the sense that there are more people on the site spewing hot takes and stupid sentiments. It's also worse because Donald Trump isn't around to spice things up. Yeah, we said it. Lately, however, the site has been embroiled with a little extra drama. This has a lot to do with Elon Musk's acquisition of the ‘Bird app.’

I don't know about you, but I am equally fortunate and unfortunate to be old enough to remember a place and time before the good ol' internet. A simpler time, a time when you had to find humor in joke books, terrible TV sitcoms, inside jokes with old pals, the funnies, and good old-fashioned farts . When I was a child, my insane friends and I would invent strange and completely nonsensical words and repeat them over and over again until the gibberish finally became comical. There's no denying i…

Enjoying the fantasy or science fiction genres is considered lame by some people. I'm talking about the people who read non-fiction books about politics, or people who prefer to watch the news over a dramatic television show. Some dismiss the genres as corny, while others look at them as an immature escape from reality. We're of the mind that the fictional genres of fantasy and sci-fi require an incredible level of creativity, something that is unique to human beings and should be taken advanta…

Ah, Twitter.

History lesson time! Today we're going to discuss the origin of memes. Yes, internet memes. Why am I differentiating the two? Well, it's because the term “meme” was first used by Richard Dawkins in 1976 - and wasn't about the internet. A meme, by Dawkins' definition (via the Oxford Dictionary) is “An element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.” It's all about the transmission of ideas. Some great historical examples…

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applied to the year 2020 , and as we've learned over the past few years, the present, too. Today, however, we are talking about a special kind of hindsight and regret. We've all seen that tweet from Hillary Clinton where she says "Happy birthday to this future President." Well, let's just say that things didn't go as she planned. Cringe. That tweet kind of made history where being overly confident is concerned. Today, we've got an assortment…

For reasons unbeknownst to me, awards ceremonies seem to get people really worked up. Sure, there are the occasional Kanye West/Taylor Swift situations - or possibly worse, the Will Smith/Chris Rock situation - but mostly awards ceremonies, to me, seem very boring. Aren't they rigged? Anyway, a lot of the purported action appears to happen hours before the actual ceremony, when the honorees and their celebrity peers get together to answer banal PR questions and show off their (mostly) exorbitan…

Happy Monday, people. Hope you all had wonderful weekends filled with rest, relaxation, and maybe some quality time with loved ones. We realize that's a lot to ask for - most of our weekends are spent doing all the chores we couldn't get to during the week thanks to work. The struggle is real. Anyway, while most of our “free time” was spent

Congratulations Internet users and abusers. You've made it through the weekend and are enjoying a Monday. While the best servers and bartenders have today off, us desk jockeys are left to gather up our last shreds of dignity and march our way into work, whether physically or mentally ( people who work from home ). To lessen my weekly pain, I, personally start Monday's work on Sunday. It's like microdosing misery, the kind of misery that leads to your own burnout and your boss' benefit. Easing m…

Congratulations, internet user. Somehow, through sheer motivation, or perhaps, more realistically, resignation, you have made it to the end of the week. How does it feel? If it doesn't feel like something that should be congratulated, then you're right with us. We didn't consent to being born, and we certainly didn't consent to an existence that makes us feel like we've accomplished some grand task. Life shouldn't feel like an endless cycle of suffering with tiny breaks in between, and if we ar…

Lying is bad. At least that's what they tell you from a young age. But as controversial as it may sound, sometimes lies are necessary - even from the people who are supposed to teach kids right from wrong. You see, parenting is difficult. You've got these annoying critters hanging around 24/7, and they always seem to want things that are either bad for them or prevent you from having a good time. The thing is, they've got some pretty malleable brains. They're still learning about how the world…

It's well-documented that alcohol is not exactly good for you. Sure, there have been numerous studies that red wine is good for the heart, or that it's good for the brain, or “keeps you young.” But I don't take those studies seriously. As an enjoyer of alcohol, and a temporary abstainer, I know the damage that booze can have on one's mental health, physical health, and relationships. In my case, it's been difficult to go without a stiff reward for a long day, or a couple glasses of wine while s…
