It's not simple, but it's worth it

I've seen many wild takes from parents online, but none wilder than young moms bragging about having kids in their late teens and early twenties. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone say, "when you're 40, you'll be dropping your kids off at pre-school; When I'm 40, I'll be at the club partying." I feel like 22-year-old moms make that statement to rationalize why they can no longer party. These posts fail to recognize that parenting is a lifelong duty that you're never done with.…

Twitter is a wild place. As user @maplecocaine so brilliantly put it (way back in 2019), “Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it.” Today's it? Well, that would have to be Ned Fulmer of The Try Guys. The site was going wild over some rumors that the “wife guy” has been cheating on his spouse, meaning he is not, in fact, a wife guy. As much as we love internet drama (hint: it's a lot), we know that not everyone has the same taste for it. So we've rounded up th…

Everyone's the perfect parent …until they have kids. That's the hot take a lot of parents express when they find people commenting on and criticizing their parenting techniques. I think there's some truth to this sentiment: I can't even imagine how difficult it is to raise a real human person. However, that doesn't mean that parents, especially those who make weirdly invasive social media posts documenting every part of their children's lives, are exempt from any criticism. Far from it, actuall…

Sometimes it feels like everyone I know is detrimentally caught up in productivity and being busy. I don't know how to tell y'all this, but it's not some kind of badge of honor to bring up when talking with friends or family. "Oh my god, I'm so busy right now, when will it all stop?" they say to their peers when they're asked about how they're doing. Only it's not just "right now." After a while it starts to feel like that answer is all anyone has to say or wants to talk about. Busy has become…

Back in seventh grade I didn't have many friends. Another thing I lacked was any kind of allowance. My mom gave me $1 a day for school lunch, while the other kids were able to walk around the neighborhood with five big ones, buying pizza or doughnuts for their lunch. Some girls would even make the trek to CVS or Rite Aid and spend their ample “lunch” money on makeup. Because I wasn't blessed with cash, I started stealing. First I stole ice cream from the crowded delis at lunch hour. Then it was…

The Emmy Awards always seem to come out of the blue. They aren't situated during the tried and true Awards Season TM , making them way less of a hassle to watch. It's also a lot more likely that you've seen one of the Emmy nominated shows versus the prestige Oscar-Bait dramas that get spit out for us to chew up every December. This years Emmy Awards had some really nice moments. Sheryl Lee Ralph gave an incredibly moving speech after winning Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. Goodburger stars…

Fans are crushed and vow to recycle—just please bring those lushes locks back!

If Twitter is a minefield, you can consider me the world's bravest soldier. At every corner on the bird app , there's something terrible to be seen. Sometimes it's an unhinged tirade from some hypocritical political figure. Other times it's a terrible take from somebody who has taken wokeness way, way too far. Other times, still, it's a minefield that consists solely of tweets from K-pop stans who insist on taking literally any subject or issue and spinning it to be about their heartthrob pop s…

If y'all have spent even a single minute on Twitter (also known by us as the 'bird app'), then you are probably well-aware that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the quips that people fling into the Twitterverse are either cringey, offensive, and sometimes maybe even both. Then there is the wealth of tweets that are so completely basic and banal that they manage to make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a…

Hi Hungry, I'm Dad

Aragorn is how old?

Recruiters probably help to match a lot of skilled people with quality vacancies. But they can be incredibly annoying and sometimes even straight up careless. They cold message you on LinkedIn , promising opportunities, pretending as though they're sending a genuine message rather than just filling in the blanks of a generic template. That kind of behavior has become expected – I don't even bother opening correspondence from people with a corporate headshot. We recently covered a man whose recr…

It's pretty hard to top the excitement and romance of J. Lo and Ben Affleck's Las Vegas nuptials, but that's not stopping famous people from getting engaged or married. The latest couple to announce their life-long commitment is Dane Cook and his girlfriend of 5 years, 23-year-old Kelsi Taylor. Yes, you read that right. Dane Cook is 50 years old and has been dating a 23-year-old for five years. Cook is the subject of a lot of contempt on and off the internet - mostly due to accusations of the r…

Turning 30 years old is a significant accomplishment. It means the three stupidest decades of your life are over, and you can finally start being a real adult with an actual frontal cortex. While most 20-year-olds are in similar life situations (having horrible service jobs, slugging through college, praying their fake ID won't get taken away), one 30-year-old can be in a very different place in life than the next. Some people are married, own a house, and have three kids by age thirty. I'm 22,…

When you really think about it, it's kind of strange how people obsess over celebrities, whether they're award-winning actor heart throbs, or popular musicians. It's easy to forget that they are humans, just like us. And humans are weird. Like, really weird. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that meeting the star of a Marvel movie might be less than explosive,. And it shouldn't be shocking that maybe that energetic musician you like is actually kind of quiet when chilling in the real wo…
