When I was a kid, I was obsessed with the idea of traveling to North Korea. This was obviously before the case of Otto Warmbier, whose death led to the ban on Americans traveling to the country. This was more in the era of The Interview and the widespread fear of Seth Rogan leading to nuclear war. There were so many VICE documentaries that explained North Korean culture, and I watched all of them. I logically knew that traveling to North Korea was not the brightest idea, but I was 14 years old…

You don't have to crack open a textbook or a non-fiction account of some historical event to indulge in a little history. Right now, it's perfectly understandable that any of us would want to escape the present with a little trip to the past. But what if we told you that the journey through time could be one that is humorous in nature? I know, we're blowing your minds right now. But it's true. All you have to do to enjoy some historical teachings and humor is scroll through some history memes .…

As someone who took at least five linguistics classes in college, you might call me a language expert. And as such, it's my duty to share a few undeniable truths about language learning that many people do not know. Did you know that if you're a native speaker of a language, congratulations, you are an expert in that language? It doesn't matter if you can't explain the exact reason for conjugations or word order. If you've spoken a language since birth, you will automatically know when somethin…

Greetings, internet traveler. You're…still here. In front of that screen. Weird. So am I. It's been a long day of staring at this light, typing away, trying to make this rickety brain do things that will make me a little bit of money. And yet, when the clock hits six pm, I can't help but remain in the hideous, depression-inspiring glow that makes time move more slowly and more quickly at the same exact time. Our relationship with our screens is almost like a toxic relationship - you keep gettin…

The never-ending winter, the never-ending pandemic, and (mostly) working from our tiny, expensive homes have really taken our laziness and lack of focus up a notch. Nothing sounds less appealing than walking to the grocery store. Going into that fluorescent-lit hell hole means having to talk to people. And it means leaving the house. Which is simply unacceptable and certainly undesirable. That's when we open the Instacart app and pay someone else to do it for us. Washing clothes in the dingey,…

In times of crisis, cringe is inevitable, it seems. Especially on Twitter. Remember back in 2020 when Gal Gadot and a bunch of other Hollywood stars sang John Lennon's “Imagine” in one of the most impressive displays of cringe the internet had ever seen? Well it seems that influencers and celebs haven't learned a thing from that atrocity. They just can't help themselves. This week's Main Character is actor Dear Mister President Vladimir Putin… pic.twitter.com/LbDFBHVWJf — AnnaLynne McCord (@IAM…

A giant sexy Shrek in stilettos and a black sleek leather jumpsuit is taking over the skies in places all over the world—a true jet-setting material swamp girl.

What do we do in times of international crisis, impending doom, and possibly the threat of world war? Meme about it of course! If you haven't heard, there's trouble brewing (once again) in Eastern Europe as Russia gears up to "perform peacekeeping functions" in the separatist republics of eastern Ukraine . Plebs like us are mostly just confused, but that doesn't mean we can't make dumb jokes and memes about an international crisis whose complex history dates back to the Cold War. If you feel to…

Is this a new form of protest?

Nice.

Back in 2012, London-based artist and taxidermist Adele Morse received a fox that met its end in a bear trap, left to fade away into the forest floor before it was packed in a box and shipped to her door. Giving it a new take on life, Morse decided to use the fox while honing her craft but found its mangled carcass less than ideal and troublesome to work with. Nevertheless, she did come up with something, although even she admitted it was a face only a mother could love, and thus the Stoned Fox…

It can always get worse

Points for originality?

Where the Eastern Europeans at?

На здоровье!
