If you've been praying that we would stop enjoying Lord of the Rings memes, you are sh*t out of luck. Few things are certain in this world, but our undying affection for the Tolkien masterpieces (and the memes they inspire) is one of ‘em. That said, even our usual “Tolkien Tuesday” roundup can get a little boring every once in a while. Especially when so many of the memes are about The Rings of Power. To keep things a little more fresh, we’ve decided to share some Lord of the Rings memes that w…

It sort of feels like the Adam Levine texts came out last month. The drama, on Twitter and off of it, was intense. It was all anyone would talk about in the office. As an Adam Levine and Maroon 5 hater, there was something satisfying about watching him get exposed as an unfaithful creep. But more than that, I was satisfied by the overwhelming wealth of memes the texts inspired. Everywhere I looked it seemed a new one had popped up, most of them having to do with that f-bomb direct message. My f…

Twitter is a wild place. As user @maplecocaine so brilliantly put it (way back in 2019), “Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it.” Today's it? Well, that would have to be Ned Fulmer of The Try Guys. The site was going wild over some rumors that the “wife guy” has been cheating on his spouse, meaning he is not, in fact, a wife guy. As much as we love internet drama (hint: it's a lot), we know that not everyone has the same taste for it. So we've rounded up th…

I really hoped it wouldn't come to this. After months of refusing to take a stance, and weeks of watching, I have to say that I have a bone to pick with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. My expectations were never particularly high, but I was initially enraptured by the show. Amazon did way better than I thought they would. It soon became clear that the beauty of the series trumps the writing. I may have been able to overlook it at first, but the writing is straight-up bad. It's rife w…

They aren't scared 'til it's a category 11

The end of the weekend can be difficult. Energy is at an all-time low (at least it is on our Sundays) and almost any form of inane entertainment will keep us enraptured enough to forget about Monday's impending doom. You can turn on the television and get sucked into some series about a serial killer, or some wartorn country, and actually feel pretty good about your current station. Even if you're just scrolling mindlessly through your Instagram feed, it beats having to acknowledge that soon yo…

Happy Sunday, freaks. Does anyone else feel the “ Sunday Scaries ” looming over their shoulder? I'd like to say it “couldn't be me,” but alas. Even when your job consists of staring at funny internet things, Monday isn't exactly a day I look forward to. Just an hour before I started typing this I was flabbergasted by the fact that it was already Sunday. Saturday was a blur of near-comatose recovery from the hell of the week before. Time flies when you're beaten down by existence. Anyway. If you…

Alright, y'all. You can stop what you're doing and rejoice because even though it's not Tuesday, we've got a big bunch of Lord of the Rings memes that we wanna share with you. As much as we love sharing the freshest Tolkien-related memes possible (on a weekly basis), sometimes it's nice to enjoy some old and gold classics like the memes in this gallery. While we're definitely enjoying Lord of the RIngs: The Rings of Power, it's also refreshing to scroll through memes that are free of both spoil…

A lot of people look down on those who work at restaurants. It's true that it's not a job for everyone, but “serving” people doesn't make you “less than” anyone else. While it's stressful, restaurant work gives a lot of time to people who want to pursue their art, school, or even some daytime hobbies. Playing music all day and then working 4 hours at night is a dream for many people. The same goes for those in the fine arts or people who are grinding away at grad school. So while it's definitel…

What upppp internet explorers?! Thank god it's Friday, am I right? We don't want to get in trouble for this, but let's be real: Fridays are kind of a fake workday. It's hard to get anything done when you're anxiously awaiting the end of your shift. By the time 6 pm rolls around, you're wondering why you didn't get more done but don't care enough to work late to finish the job. That's what Sunday night is for. Anyway, one of our favorite ways to procrastinate on Friday is by scrolling through Tw…

A massive amount of guilt is settling into my body as I write these words. It's true. I haven't watered my aloe in a very, very long time. And I don't think it's been getting much sun. I can see it now: crispy, crunchy, parched and depressed . This is why I'm not allowed to have nice things. Specifically plants. My apartment will never be one of those plant-filled havens we see so often on Instagram. I'll never be able to take care of a fiddle leaf fig or take selfies with shelves of carefully…

Having fun on the internet may seem easy to most people, but it's really more complicated than one might thing. Boredom has a funny way of diminishing the creativity that helps one find something interesting to research, or perhaps a fun game to play. Then there's the fact that the internet is so inconsistent when it comes to humor and general entertainment. Take Twitter, for instance. The “bird app” was created with the intention that people would share short messages with groups of friends or…

It's easy to feel a bit jaded by this world. Especially considering that with the advent of the Internet came the eventual ability to be able to answer any question we're stumped by, see anything we're curious about, and write down any/every stupid thought we have. Being able to know anything - and almost anything - kind of takes a lot of mystery and magic away from day-to-day life. Instead of sitting on this Amtrak train, admiring the lush environs of the Hudson Valley, I'm getting work done.…

Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at? The New York City borough is kind of a big deal. While it may get a bad rap for harboring trust fund hipsters and intolerable yuppies, it's also a cultural hub like no other. Brooklyn raised some of the best rappers, from Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Kim to Jay-Z, as well as entertainers like Barbra Streisand, Larry David, and Eddie Murphy. We'd be remiss not to include Bernie Sanders. While it may not win the award for most diverse borough, it certainly comes…

“If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.” There's definitely some truth to this lyric about New York City . Frank Sinatra wasn't wrong. But…do you really want to? As a native New Yorker, I often find myself asking if it's worth it. The rent keeps going up and my apartment isn't getting any bigger or nicer. There are tons of people gentrifying every neighborhood that has any personality, pushing out its residents that have lived there for years. The commute is both frustrating (the MT…

They remember EVERYTHING.
