Not everyone can be a renaissance man, woman, or person. It's actually pretty unrealistic to think everyone in the world will have a fascinating range of interests, talents, or hobbies. For much of my pathetic time on this planet, I've felt a bit boring . This isn't because I'm dumb, or because I don't know how to make conversation. The feeling of blahness I feel about my personality is mostly due to the fact that all I really care about is food. I love cooking food in my cramped kitchen. I lov…

It recently came to my attention that if I was left to my own devices, I might end up rotting in my bedroom and never leaving my apartment. That's because it's so easy to waste my own time scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. I t's not the most healthy situation. See, I end up putting off important things like laundry or showering, all because I get sucked into the social media hole. I end up cobbling together terrible outfits from whatever is clean, and having to take a little “…

Happy Monday, internet users and abusers. Here in New York City, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and we're enjoying the 52-degree temperature. There's just one glaring issue: We're being forced to work. This means sitting in the dark of our cramped apartments, staring longingly at the great outdoors. Sure, the “great outdoors" here may just mean a few trees, some stray cats, and our neighbor's crumbling lawn furniture, but it's better than nothing. As much as we realize our luck at working…

Happy Tuesday, nerds. On this beautiful day in New York City, things are pretty damn smoggy thanks to the terrible wildfires. As an asthma sufferer, I must stay inside despite the relatively pleasant temperature. Thankfully, I've got plenty of ways to busy myself. One helpful pastime has been collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our weekly roundup of the good stuff: a mix of fresh, funny, and classic memes inspired by the books and movies we so love. This week, like last week, we've got a few…

If you're craving a dose of humor but want to avoid the treacherous landscape of Twitter, we totally understand. These days, navigating the bird app can be exhausting, especially when it feels like pain and suffering are constantly being forced upon us. That's why we've put together a collection of short and sweet tweets that will tickle your funny bone without any of the unnecessary noise. It's a refreshing break from the world's troubles, and sometimes inspires us to work on our own jokes. Wi…

I don't know about you, but my perception of time and how it passes has been pretty wonky as of late. Spending these long hours sitting in front of my laptop as I get older and not wiser, the absolute weight of existence. It's all starting to take its toll. The sad truth, though, is we never owned any of this time to begin with. After you consider your fast-paced career, soul-crushing responsibilities like, uh, chores, and the bare minimum of caring for our families (or pets), there's a pretty…

I've spent way too much time wondering if memes have a deeper purpose . Maybe it's because I look at them every day, and maybe it's because, well, they're basically my job. But I mean, come on, sometimes a funny picture about struggling to get up in the morning is just about needing more sleep. That said, sometimes there's a bit more than meets the eye. See, we're all hooked on these funny pics that are flying around the internet. We spend literal hours scrolling through them and sharing them w…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
