Happy hump day, y'all. I used to think that the phrase “hump day” was created by Camel cigarettes as part of some stupid marketing campaign, but it turns out the phrase has been used since the 1950's. It seems that despite what your Boomer family members might say, people have felt the burden of the 5-day workweek for a very, very long time. And they started using psychological tools like “hump day” to try to make themselves feel better about all the drudgery. Knowing you're at - and joking abo…

DC Comics has, famously, declared that Batman doesn’t eat p****. That’s because, “It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.” So, they’re not morally opposed to it, per se. But it’s money, not morality, that drives these storylines – and that’s always been the case. It just so happens that, decades ago, the best way to sell comics was to explore the romantic, sexual taboos that teenage boys found intriguing. And that's what we're exploring on this very specia l Valentine's…

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. Hope you're recovering from all the dips, wings, and other fried foods you probably consumed at the Super Bowl this week. As I pretended to watch the ol' game and refreshed Twitter over and over for memes, my boyfriend made a comment about how football is a very militaristic sport. He likened it to a battlefield, something about lines, whatever. I don't really get the whole nitty gritty of it, but I do appreciate a good battle scene. And what series does battle sce…

Memes with a case of RBF.

You've done it! You've really done it. You have survived another debaucherous, boring, or even - healthy - weekend on planet Earth, and now it's time to return to the of the agonizing responsibility of the Monday through Friday workweek. After sleeping for 11 hours straight last night (I'm not one for the Super Bowl) and my rejuvenating therapy session, it is feeling a little easier to bend over for the man and write silly litle blurbs like this one. This particular collection of memes (and twe…

It's easy to take birds for granted, especially when you live in an urban setting. The prevalence of pigeons, sparrows, and starlings here in New York is such that you can forget that they're kind of cool. Yes, even the pigeons. The hatred humans have for them has long been dispelled as misguided and unfair. In fact, contempt for pigeons didn't really exist until humans started building cities – and pigeons started adapting. Which is exactly what most humans were doing, too. Whenever I leave th…

Any self-respecting meme enthusiast is well aware of their incredible versatility. It really feels like there is a meme out there for every kind of person from every walk of life. Facebook moms go absolutely bonkers for corny and cringey minion memes. Those basic white girls who live for pumpkin spice season? They go absolutely wild for a meme about wine or the crinkle of fall leaves under their Ugg boots. Angry “Kyles” liken themselves to the frustrated incels in Wojak comics . There's somethi…

I don't care what anyone says, farts have got to be the pinnacle of body-related humor. In fact, we don't trust anyone who doesn't appreciate the humor of gas, be it a soft grumble, a high-pitched squeal, or a trumpet-sounding explosion. The sound of farts is funny, the smell of them a bit less so. Fart jokes have been tickling people and ticking them off for centuries if not longer. If you think you're beyond this kind of classic, we want nothing to do with you. While farty funny things are no…

Have you ever been destroyed by a deviously clever comeback or 'brutal fact' that feels totally wrong but still can't be argued with ? We're talking about the kind of remark that feels illogical or stupid but is technically true and makes you want to simultaneously give the finger to and high five the person who uttered it? You've got to know what we're talking about. And if you're not in the know, then you're probably missing out on the delicious comedy of r/technicallythetruth . The subreddit…

If you have yet to be blessed by the hilarious delight that of Scottish Twitter and Scottish memes, nae bother because we are serving up a great big selection of highly entertaining tweets and memes that will give you a taste of some pure Scottish wit. It's truly in a league of its own. Sometimes Scottish tweets can be a bit hard to understand - that's because Scots is a language all its own. Fortunately for us, we can usually piece together the meaning when using phonetics. But the best part i…

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).

Where's the serotonin at?

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…

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
