Congratulations, Internet friends. You've made it through yet another week of the responsibility of adult existence . Thanks to the freedom of the weekend, and the help of therapy, it feels a little easier to bend over for the man and write stupid blurbs like this one. The truth is, though, life has been feeling an awful lot like groundhog day. As I've sworn off many of my vices since the pandemic's start, every day just seems pretty damn cookie-cutter. Even our precious Fridays and Saturdays.…

These days, with all the horrible and stressful things going on in the world, you wouldn't think we need to make things feel even crazier by asking "what if?" through art. But somehow, the science fiction genre is still alive and kicking. And we believe it's the ultimate escape from reality, with its far-out planets and mind-blowing technology. That said, science fiction isn't just about the crazy stuff, the fighting, or the special effects. It's the characters that really get us hooked, and th…

The Succession series finale on Sunday rocked a whole lot of boats and inspired a whole lot of memes and tweets , but it may not the only show that came to an end this week. It's being reported that the season finale of Apple TV+'s Ted Lasso may actually be a series finale. A lot of yuppies are gonna be upset about this, but if the rumors are true, it shouldn't really be a surprise. Jason Sudeikis previously said that season 3 would be "the end of this story we wanted to tell, while hinting at…

Greetings, Star Wars fans and classic sci-fi aficionados ! We're coming at you today with a hefty gallery of Star Wars memes, with a special focus on the glorious (and very meme-able) prequels. As you explore this collection of memes, be warned: You may find yourself immersed in a galaxy far, far away. One thing that we love about Star Wars memes, or and fandom's memes, is that fans like us have meticulously crafted these memes to bring laughter and joy to the people who can relate. From iconic…

Well, well, well. If it isn't our internet-addicted friends back at it again. If you've been avoiding ye olde Bird App thanks to the annoyingness of Mr. Elon Musk , or have simply never even composed a short and sweet tweet because the act is of no interest to you, look: we get it. The Twitter app, whether on desktop or our iPhone screen, can definitely be intimidating. It can even be downright unpleasant if you say the wrong thing in the wrong Twittersphere, or if you somehow end up in the Mus…

Procrastination alert

Oh, joy! It's another beautiful day on the glorious internet. But if we're being totally honest, things are not feeling... great. The truth is that it is far from easy to be chained to your computer on any given day, but when the world seems extra messed up, it's even worse. Rising rents, piddling salaries, the absolute state of the world (cough Ukraine cough Israel) is almost too much for us to take. And we're expected to just ignore the goings-ons and make silly little posts while the world f…

This past long weekend, while getting silly and hanging out with my friends, we realized that everyone in the room was a cat person. Sure, I have a few friends with dogs, but the bulk of us seem to have an incurable obsession with felines. And they're all so different. Socks, my friend's grumpy-looking but sweet tabby, has a penchant for pooping in her bed if she doesn't get up and give him attention at an early enough hour. My cultured kitty Gorgeous would never do such a thing. When it comes…

It's kind of weird that “nerd” was such a major insult when we were growing up. The insinuation was devastating. But t he word “nerd,” if we want to get granular, can actually be pretty damn positive. According to the Oxford dictionary, the term is defined as follows: "1. a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest. "the executive is an unabashed film nerd" 2. DEROGATORY an unfashionable person who lacks soc…

I'm happy that I was lucky enough to enjoy the freedom of a long weekend . After all, a long weekend also means a short workweek. Which, to be frank, is how every week should be: four days long. While many progressive companies are adopting the four-day workweek as a means of improving the work-life balance of their employees, not everyone is fortunate to work for a company that prioritizes their workers. For the rest of us, these weeks are a joy, but often filled with extra work as a sort of c…

Awkwardly true

Things have been relatively quiet for the Lord of the Rings fandom of late. After all the insane drama (and to be quite frank, blatant racism) surrounding The Rings of Power, e ven the most annoying and pedantic whining feels like a relief. We've been able to enjoy the funniness, and the rewatches, without interruption. This week, however, we've been hearing a lot of rumblings about the new The Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. And lemme tell ya, the rumbling ain't positive. While reviews are not…

Twitter has always been a contentious space, but it seems to have become even more so in recent years. Unfortunately, the influx of users has resulted in a pretty predictable increase of provocative and straight-up stupid remarks flooding the platform. Honestly, even the glaring absence of Donald Trump, who was known for adding some spice to the ol' Twitter mix, has contributed to this deterioration. Elon Musk's acquisition of the 'Bird app' increased the drama and vitriol to a wild degree. For…

Having a little bit of fun or wasting our time on the internet might seem like a simple feat for most internet enthusiasts, but it is actually a lot more complicated than one might believe. Boredom has a way of eroding our abilities to pursue intelligent activities, pastimes, and/or hobbies. It doesn't help that our attention spans have all but been reduced to nada. It is actually quite depressing - it's impossible for me to make it through a forty-minute television episode without feeling ants…

Generational gaps are frankly hilarious because as the years go on, and the older we millennials get, we begin to understand our elder's frustration with us. How does this come about? Well, it begins with a seemingly normal day; you're on your way to work, and stop to get your morning coffee at your local cafe, when suddenly your ears begin ringing. Thinking to yourself in caps letters, you turn your head to glare at whatever is making that noise. The person making the noise is quite a vision.…

It should come as no surprise that Twitter has a lot to offer in the funny content department. Comedy writers and aspiring humorists love to create short, pithy tweets that are full of wit and send them out into the world for us unfunny schmucks to enjoy. The only problem here is that the bird app also happens to be brimming with negativity. The political debates, offensive remarks, and persistent trolls feel omnipresent. Because of this sad fact, w e've gathered some of the more recent and amu…
