interview

On July 28th, Axios reporter Jonathan Swan interviewed President Donald Trump on HBO about several topics including the staggering number of COVID-19 cases in the United States. His reactions to some of Trump's remarks are priceless, and needless to say, the memes have been top-tier. You can watch the interview here and garner your own reactions. Now on with the memes!

In trying times, Millennials turn to memes for generational solidarity, dumb humor, and temporary distraction from crippling existential dread. But while we all continue to scroll our pain away on the daily, rarely do we ever stop and think about the people behind the scenes who work tirelessly to provide us with top-notch content so that we may not die from boredom. Our mission is to find the creators behind the memes that make our lives that much more bearable.

In this installment, we caught up with Margeaux, a 27-year-old Brooklyn-based meme creator and the brains behind the Instagram account @spilledmyjuice, to talk with her about her creative process. 

"So, why do you want this job?" Can we talk about how unbelievably stupid that question is? Why do you think I want this job, Lauren in HR? Because most of us have to pay the bills in order to live! If only we could all just be honest with each other at job interviews and leave behind all the BS!

British Sky News anchor Jayne Secker has come under fire for her patronizing comments yesterday in an interview with Kirsty Archer, a young politician who stated that the cost of living in London is far too high for many people, and that getting evicted from a rental home could cost a tenant £2,000.

Secker, who is a landlord herself, countered Archer's comments by claiming that it's the young renters who are at fault here because they do not have the "basic skills" (including changing a light bulb and knowing how to turn on their heaters) to rent homes.

Secker later issued an "apology" tweet for her comments, which some are calling out for being a non-apology. You can watch the Sky News video and read some of Twitter's reactions to it below!

Ooh boy, here we go everybody. 

If you haven't been following the news lately, singer R. Kelly was jailed last month on account of numerous sexual abuse charges against him. We're not going to go into the exact details of those charges, but we'll let you read a bit about them for yourself here. 

CBS aired an interview with R. Kelly on Tuesday morning, during which he vehemently denied the allegations, screamed into the camera and began crying in an attempt to save his reputation. So, did he commit the acts he's been trying so hard to cover up? Well, we'll let you judge that for yourself.

And of course, absolutely no scandal is ever free from a copious number of memes, which we've compiled for you below! Enjoy!
