Let's be honest: millions and millions of memes are circulating the worldwide web at any given time. People are making them, sharing them, and resharing them at record-breaking rates. The unfortunate truth about this proliferation of memes is that most of them are not very good. It's not their fault! I am not here to meme-shame anyone, but rather tell you the truth, and the truthful state of the majority of memes is not good. The quality of the average meme is close to the quality of the averag…

Adult Yoda is included!

Star Wars television adaptations are a controversial subject. They've received largely mixed (if not bad reviews), save The Mandalorian , a program that we will never forgive for introducing the internet to Baby Yoda. We are so tired of Baby Yoda memes . Anyway. In our opinion, Andor really changed the game. The show, which was created by Tony Gilroy, follows the story of Cassian Andor, one of the rebels who sacrificed their lives to take a stand against in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Andor's…

Contrary to popular belief, not every Star Wars fan is a complete and utter hater of the prequels. If you're a bitter, Gen X original trilogy purist who watched the first Star Wars in theatres before one could even dream of it one day being called “A New Hope," I can understand how the prequels might have been a bit disappointing.

Greetings, nerds. Not sure if I'm alone in this, but I've been feeling a disturbance in the force. It's a strange feeling, almost like a void that was created over the past couple of weeks, a void that gets larger every day. I search and search through the Disney+ menu for some sort of comfort, and it's nowhere to be found. I tried watching the Eternals , utter garbage. I tried rewatching the Mandalorian . I even tried to distract myself with the insanity of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Mad…

Have y'all ever heard of the Public Universal Friend ? The Friend was a genderless Quaker preacher whom I think about at least once a month. Before they became the Public Universal Friend, they went by the name Jemima Wilkinson and lived in Rhode Island in the mid-1700s. After suffering from a nearly deadly fever, they woke up and announced that Jemima Wilkinson had died and had received messages from God and archangels. The Friend further said that Wilkinson's soul had ascended to heaven, and…

When I was a kid, there was one consistent force that was always in my life. One thing I could always count on being there, with all of its wisdom and beauty. I'm talking, of course, about my father's Lego Yoda , fresh in the box. Now I'm not talking about one of those tiny Lego people with Yoda printed on it. Oh no, it is far more glorious than that. My dad won a sizable recreation of Yoda constructed solely with Legos in the late 90s. You might wonder how he won such a prize at a Target in Il…

Nearly everything in the modern world moves at a pace that would kill a medieval peasant girl. The level of productivity has shot up, and it doesn't look like it will dwindle anytime soon. That reality is because we're all conditioned to do things unbelievably quickly. The about of stuff we are expected to do each day is genuinely baffling. We need to shower, make three meals, go to work, do a good job at work, eat three meals, and reflect on your day, which doesn't even mention socializing, le…

Everyone, and we mean everyone, deserves the luxury of simply screwing around every once in a while, In fact, we think the world has the collective right to give responsibility the finger when possible. To procrastinate and diddle daddle to one's heart's content. You know, to turn on the TV on while that boring conference call is dragging on forever and you're conveniently on mute. To ignore the too-late text from your hard-assed boss who lacks a modicum of empathy, or lie about why you can't s…

Variety is the spice of life, eh? Well, my life is bland as hell. Something like all those memes about how white people don't season their food. I do season my food , but I spend most of my time at a sterile desk in a mind-numbing open office plan, wondering when the I'll be free from this incredibly boring cyclical hell. I could quit my job, but listen. I've got cats to feed. And I couldn't do that to them. So instead of saying “F*ck you, I quit," I'm here, typing away about nothing, and suppl…

“You employed the use of a double negative in the title of this article. It shows a command of the English language that is subpar at best and frightening at worst.” If some variation of that thought ran through your head when you read this headline, you're a regular Young Sheldon. Or you're adult Sheldon; knowing pedantic weirdos, you're probably an adult Sheldon. Young Sheldon is at least cute enough to find slightly bemusing, but regular old elder millennial Sheldon can be a real irritating…

"He’s gonna grow up and be like, 'these classic movies are awfully familiar....'"

Heads up: I'm a millennial. As a small child I used to play in the dirt, create morbid stories starring my American Girl Dolls, and play old Star Wars games on the family PC. Memes didn't exist, and I didn't have access to the internet. Many Boomers take pride in the fact that their means of entertainment were extremely analog when they were youths, but I don't. It's actually my belief that memes would have enriched my younger days. I mean, it's obvious that being exposed to memes as a kid woul…

These are the tip top cosplays and costumes we saw at San Diego Comicon 2022. From the Marvel universe, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy games, and cartoons, there was everything you could imagine coming to life in downtown San Diego. Pop culture's best collection of weirdos, obsessives, and generally awesome individuals all gather in one place once a year. America's Finest City. Now let's go see what all the fuss is about.
