People talk a lot about having “a case of the Mondays." If these cases are anything like my Mondays, then their weeks must start in a pretty pissed-off manner. In fact, if we're talking about anger and frustration at everything around you, then I have a case of “the Mondays” every damn day of the week. It's truly incredible how short my temper is. Anything can send me into a rage - be it a lack of coffee

Whoa there

The end of the weekend can be difficult. Energy is at an all-time low (at least it is on our Sundays) and almost any form of inane entertainment will keep us enraptured enough to forget about Monday's impending doom. You can turn on the television and get sucked into some series about a serial killer, or some wartorn country, and actually feel pretty good about your current station. Even if you're just scrolling mindlessly through your Instagram feed, it beats having to acknowledge that soon yo…

As a thirty-something with no kids but a wealth of cats, I might complain, but I have it pretty easy. Despite the incessant vet bills, taking care of a cat is a lot easier and somehow a lot cheaper than raising a human child. A friend of mine shared an alarming statistic with her Instagram friends recently - the lifetime cost of raising a child here in the United States, as of 2022, is estimated at a whopping $272,049. That's a staggering number, one that makes me feel like I'm definitely never…

Happy Tuesday, nerds! We're back in the work saddle and not really enjoying it. But thems the breaks. At least we're completing our favorite assignment: collecting a wealth of Lord of the Rings memes for people who really like Lord of the Rings memes . We know many of you are against Amazon's foray into the world of Middle-Earth, but alas - there's no escaping the memes. Some are just against the show, others use its stills to comedic effect. If you're avoiding very minor spoilers or simply can…

It's nearly impossible to know what the hell was going through the minds of the people who first started creating internet memes . Chances are that it was something incredibly dumb. Still, we've got to hand it to them, and thank them, for sharing all that sweet, sweet stupidity with the world, because now we all have a great reason to be staring at our phones all the time, even when no one wants to text us. Not that we really needed more excuses. While memes are generally an enjoyable way of pa…

I was a bit of a whiner as a kid. I am outing myself. That said, my mother wasn't the most engaging parent. She sat at the same chair every day, chainsmoking and drinking Lipton tea while filling out her logic problem books that she bought at the stationery store. While I was a very imaginative (morbid, even) child, there were times when not even my own brain could keep me entertained. And it wasn't like I could turn on the TV. That wasn't allowed. So I'd whine to my mother that I was bored. “I…

Embrace your inner basic!

The Queen is dead. Or, “queen dead” as we like to say around here. Either way, she has passed, and it's literally all anyone can talk about. It feels like no website (including our) is safe from the occasion's clutches. On Instagram and Reddit, we've got memes. On Facebook, aunties across the pond are loudly mourning a woman they liken to their grandmother. Don't even get us started on Twitter. If you'd like to take a break from news about the royal family,

Welp, it happened. I watched The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power . And despite my low hopes (which have nothing to do with the cast) and disdain for Amazon, I really, really enjoyed the first two episodes. They were beautiful, compelling, and exciting - and Galadriel is nothing short of a badass. As a huge fan of the incredible trilogy from Peter Jackson (not The Hobbit, y'all), it's easy to be skeptical of new media that is based on Tolkien's work. And while we can't say it measures up co…

As rock and roller Tom Cochrane (and later, regrettably, Rascal Flatts) once sang, "Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long." Though I really do want to ride that highway all through the evening, I have an awful lot of adult responsibilities like most semi-functioning members of society. The fantasy of being a carefree drifter on a shiny motorcycle, traveling the world and indulging in my every whim is pretty damn appealing. Sadly, however, I am chsined to my computer and homebase,…

Shamone!

We love roasting people as much as the next guy, but we have got to admit that it doesn't take a whole lot of wit or bravery to insult a person. It is a sacrificial self-own, in an attempt to really roast someone else, that garners our highest respect. It takes guts to brutalize oneself for the greater good. Since 2018, memers have started circulating some seriously fire examples of these sacrifices by using a Call of Duty perk, Martyrdom. Most of the time these meme creators pair it with examp…

It has always amazed me that the internet has a place for everyone. It has the incredible power to bring people together, and not just thanks to our social media platforms. Because of both meetup sites and meetup apps, people are making real connections with individuals who have similar interests. It's no easy feat to combat excruciating loneliness that seems to hang over many of our heads, so props to these people for taking action. It's great that some individuals can get together IRL, but th…

Whether you enjoy having a little giggle at the past, or fact-checking nerdy history memes in your free time, we've got a bunch of funny stuff right here for dunces and history buffs alike. And they're all over the historical map. If you're into exposing the super-sus and sketchy actions of the CIA, there are memes for you. Prefer the World War II? You guessed it, there are memes about that, too. If you're into a more all-out style of conflict, the jokes here rely heavily on wars, even shouting…

Some mistakes were made this past weekend. What was supposed to be a chill day at the beach followed by a fun show in a basement turned into an all-out mezcal-soaked bacchanal that lasted until the sun was coming up. Unfortunately, I can't party like I used to, and I'm still feeling the consequences of my reckless actions. Whenever my brain isn't operating at the level I'd like it to be, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill time to start working to its best ability, ev…
