Beloved TV personality Martha Stewart recently posted a photo of herself poolside on Instagram, and let's just say, it's got the internet uncomfortably horny. The thirst trap pic has people marveling at Stewart's good looks at age 78, and of course, roasting the heck out of it in true unsavory internet fashion.
Over the past few weeks cities all around the United States have been reporting an increase in fireworks. And it's quickly becoming clear that murmurs on Twitter aren't just hearsay or the result of quarantine-induced noise sensitivity. According to Gothamist, fireworks complaints in New York City have increased by a whopping 230% since last year. And Twitter users have begun theorizing that the increase may actually be due to something more sinister.
The most widely circulated theory right now is that the increase in fireworks leads back to the police, or even that the CIA is supplying fireworks to rowdy teens as a sort of psychological operation to deprive citizens of sleep and desensitize them to the sounds of warfare. One such thread comes from writer Robert Jones Jr., who tweets as Sons of Baldwin. Other conspiracy theories suggest that police are supplying and setting off fireworks and ignoring complaints to make themselves feel needed in the wake of calls to defund them. And there's been a lot of weird police activity that backs up this attitude - take this bizarre show from police vehicles in Harlem - at 3am.
While some of the tweets we've been seeing mock and meme the theories, they're being taken seriously enough to inspire inquiries from investigative journalists and have even led to a writer having to apologize for retweeting speculation on the matter. Many people seem to think the explanations are a simple combination of inexpensive surplus fireworks (due to Covid-19 cancellations) and, well, let's face it: fireworks are fun. And while the theories may seem far-fetched, they're a hell of a lot more entertaining than anything pertaining to 5G. So we're happy to watch the truth unfold - whatever it may be.
Let's just all just be realistic for a second: summer is going to royally suck for the vast majority of us this year, but unfortunately that's just how it's gotta to be while we try to get over this pandemic. Accordingly, we've put together some memes that will probably make you feel really bad while you're stuck inside! Sorry ahead of time...
It's February and there are literally people already trying to work on their summer bods. Well, we're here to tell you that that's insane, and you should rock whatever you've got. Besides, life is too short not to eat that delicious food right in front of you.
Here are some more gym memes for the gym rats reading this!
These memes are for everyone who's just over the hot weather and ready for scarves, pumpkins, and Christian Girl Autumn. Sweating and sunburns are so last season anyway.
And, you know, it may only be August but who gives a f*ck - bring on the PSLs. Does this make us basic white girls? Probably, but guess what, haters gonna hate.
We need to be honest with each other here - none of us are getting "summer bodies" at this point. Summer is here and we're all busy day-drinking and eating delicious barbecue foods. That's all okay though, "summer bodies" are all just a bunch of BS and can and should rock what you've got! Now here are some memes to make you feel bad about yourself!
