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…

The older you get, the trickier money gets between friends. As some of our pals excel in the money-making department, others fall behind. Sometimes it's because they're woefully irresponsible - they buy drugs with their pay, or drink and gamble it away. Other times it's because they have focused on less lucrative job opportunities. Many of my friends, for example, consider themselves musicians first and workers second. And while they create incredible art and feel gratified by the hours they sp…

Good tidings, internet friends. We've just got finished with another day on the world wide web, and let us tell you, things haven't gotten any better. While some people on Twitter are freaking out about that Adam Levine cheating drama, others are still talking about the arguably timely demise of Queen Elizabeth II. Meanwhile, we're over here like “Can we please get some viral tweets over here that aren't something like ‘when I love, I love HARD?’". Sadly it's true, the internet can be a complet…

It kind of feels like ADHD discourse has been at an all-time high. Everyone on Twitter seems to be discussing the disorder, and our advertisements on other social media sites always seem to do with acquiring medication for the issue, or receiving counseling for it. There's a reason for this. Over the past few years, it's become clear that attention deficit disorder manifests itself in many different ways - it's not just feeling fidgety or having a poor attention span. I recently was diagnosed m…

Having fun on the internet seems easy, but it's actually more complicated than you'd think. Boredom has a way of removing creative faculties that help you decide on something interesting to research, or a fun game to play. Then there's the fact that the internet is far from consistent in its content offerings. Take Twitter, for example. The website was created to allow people to share short messages with groups of friends or specific networks - something similar to a group text. The site has de…

If you've spent any time on Twitter (or the ‘bird app' as we like to call it) then you know that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the material that people see fit to catapult into the Twitter abyss is either cringe worthy , offensive, or and maybe even both. There's also a wealth of tweets that are so basic they actually make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a zillion times or offer up banal sentiments…

Job interviews don't have to be one-sided

Twitter is like an uber-productive and relatively consistent joke factory. It's true that some of the time it churns out some real annoying crap that we try to avoid, but we can usually find some clever jokes, hot takes, and surprisingly astute shower thoughts at any point while doomscrolling through the app. Globally, there are over 206 million people who use Twitter daily , so the constant flow of content can feel kind of daunting, but that's why we curate some of the funniest and freshest tw…

Millennials . When we're not busy ruining the economy with our decadent avocado toast and otherwise utilitarian consumer behavior, we're tending to our 5k-follower shitpost accounts, wondering where we went wrong in life. Is this really all there is? The millennial thinks to herself as she stands in line at the local overpriced café. She consults her bank app as if it were a crystal ball, providing guidance on whether or not to go for that extra pastry. Then she goes off to her second freelance…

It feels like more and more people who are well into adulthood are realizing that ADHD might be the real reason they spent years of struggling to focus, maintain hobbies, or even succeed at having relationships. Hell, it took 31 years for me to get diagnosed because I have ADHD and depression . Newsflash: ADHD isn't just being hyperactive or daydreaming and getting distracted. It's a bit more complex than that. The truth is that everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially with how brutal…

The best recent Tweets from the bird app

Should we discuss our salaries with our coworkers or not? What was once a workplace faux pas is becoming a common topic among colleagues, and a lot of workers have benefited from more transparency. But when @ramblings_and encouraged the workers of Twitter to discuss pay in the workplace, not everyone was on board. Most people shared stories about how they'd gotten raises after bringing up pay discrepancies to HR, but a number of people argued that it's no one's business how much money they make…

Oh my god. Raise your hand if you are sick to death of hearing about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. The multi-week affair has absolutely poisoned the internet, and despite the fact that it's over, it's still permeating every place where we usually find our memes. Trying to avoid people screaming about it is like trying to do gymnastics in a minefield - it just doesn't work. The situation has been so dire that we're having to lower our expectations of the memes. This batch is not our bes…

Boomers of the mainstream media love to accuse millennials of being lazy, spoiled brats who love quitting jobs and spending all their money on Netflix and avocado toast. Boomers always told us that if we worked hard enough, a prosperous and comfortable life was more than possible—it was a promise. Well, turns out that was total bullshit. It's plain to see why, all you have to do is compare inflation and the growth in median rents to the growth in median income over time. In today's economy, "wo…

Some mistakes were made last night. What was supposed to be an innocent goodbye celebration for one of Memebase's former editors turned into one of those nights where you suddenly realize it's 5 in the morning and you're about to start hearing the birds chirping. A bottle of mezcal, many seltzers and a lot of cigarettes made today feel pretty damn rough. But it was worth it to spend time with her before she moved to Scotland. But still. I am suffering mentally. Whenever my brain isn't operating…

God. It has been a year. Or two. Or maybe even three. It feels as though I no longer have a grip on time. Perhaps it's because of the pandemic. Maybe it's because as you get older, time starts to move faster. But it could also be the crippling depression that makes a fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While the sunshine has slowly started to return to New York and peoples moods seem to be improving, I still can't help but feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I go about my day-…
